Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

iPhone 6 will be assembled by robots 07.07.2014

Foxconn's program to equip its production lines with robots is nearing its final stage. Initially, 10 robots will be installed. The first devices that Foxconn will trust machines to assemble will be the new-generation iPhones.

According to a company representative, the launch of robots should take place in the near future at one of the enterprises where Apple products are produced. As Terry Gou emphasized, first of all the company is going to use robots for the production of products of the "apple" company. Perhaps the iPhone 6 will be one of the first such products.

Foxconn will initially install 10 robots called Foxbot to replace humans. Each such robot will be able to assemble 30 devices a year. The cost of the robot, depending on the functionality, will be 20-25 thousand dollars.

Foxconn representatives first announced plans to equip their production lines with robotics in 2011. Then Terry Gou said that 10 thousand robots already operate in their factories, and by 2014 their number is planned to be increased to 1 million units.

How many robots are currently present at Foxconn's facilities is unknown. But it is clear that they will not be able to increase production capacity to the required value: in June 2014, the company announced that they were going to hire an additional 100 thousand employees to assemble new iPhones.

Be that as it may, Foxconn expects that replacing people with machines will significantly reduce costs. In addition, the transfer of a number of operations to mechanisms will provide an opportunity to relieve people and, as the company believes, will help improve working conditions. Today, Foxconn employs more than 1,2 million manual assembly workers. The company repeatedly fell under the scope of various human rights organizations due to exceeding the maximum permitted working week (in China it is 49 hours). But that's just one aspect of Foxconn's not-so-clean reputation. In May of this year, it became known that some of the company's employees received multimillion-dollar bribes in exchange for lucrative contracts.

Announcement of the iPhone 6th generation is expected on September 25, 2014.
