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. ... >>

Miniature humanoid robot record broken 19.02.2024

A team of roboticists from the Diocesan School for Boys in Hong Kong has achieved a new milestone by creating the world's smallest humanoid robot. The height of this amazing creation is only 141 mm, thereby breaking the previous record set back in 2022.

The robot created by schoolchildren not only set a new record in the world of robotics, but also became a shining example of an innovative educational approach. Its creation and use in STEAM workshops inspires new technological advances and educational development.

In an effort to set a record, the students not only set out to create a miniature robot, but also to provide it with a wide range of movements. He is able to maneuver his shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, as well as walk on two legs.

Students used computer-aided design to develop drawings and technical specifications and then collaborated with a factory to produce the required components, including servos. These servos play a key role in the functioning of the robot, providing precise rotation and movement of its limbs.

In addition to achieving a world record, the robot was intended to be a multi-faceted educational tool intended for use in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) workshops. To promote STEAM education, the team also plans to make the design and code publicly available.
