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. ... >>

Honda hearing robot 05.12.2012

Engineers at the Honda Research Institute rightly reasoned that a modern robot's keen hearing is as necessary as cameras, that is, vision. Deciding to focus on this aspect, the authors of the project built the HEARBO robot, which has a delicate hearing, it perceives sound from four sources at the same time and can point to each of them.

He received this skill thanks to the HARK system. Eight microphones are built into the head of the HEARBO (HEARing robot, which can be translated as "hearing robot"), the data from them is carefully processed. The system filters the sound coming from the 17 HEARBO motors, a step the developers call "self-noise suppression". Then the remaining components of the sound stream are analyzed, the direction to each of the sources is calculated, while the declared accuracy of the calculations is only one degree.

The ability to calculate the source of the sound will help the robot communicate with several people at the same time, which was confirmed in tests. Simulating work in a catering establishment, the robot took four orders from people who spoke at the same time. Similarly, the machine played "rock, paper, scissors", three players simultaneously called their move, and HEARBO determined the winner. In the future, he will be able to make out the speech of one person who addresses him in a noisy crowd. For the robot of the future, this is important.
