Backpack with six robotic arms

29.04.2023

Japanese researchers have shown a prototype of the JIZAI ARMS module, which will allow you to acquire additional arms. The module, which can attach up to six robotic limbs, is mounted on the back like a backpack, and you can control your hands through an application or a special controller.

With the development of technology, all kinds of wearable devices are spreading. In particular, engineers are also developing additional robotic limbs that would expand the capabilities of humans, at least in manipulating objects. In their study, scientists from the University of Tokyo have created six additional limbs that can be used.

The JIZAI ARMS underwear system consists of a robotic arm unit worn on the back like a backpack. The limbs in it are arranged in pairs: depending on the need, you can wear a different number of robotic arms. The module itself weighs 4,1 kilograms, and each arm weighs about 2,5 kilograms. Therefore, together with four arms, the weight of the system will be about 14 kilograms. Robotic arms bend at the shoulders, elbows and wrist, and can also have a different number of fingers - scientists have presented limbs with five fingers, as well as a three-fingered manipulator.

You can control the system using an application or through a special controller that resembles a smaller version of the system. The developers hope that their research will help the development of such systems. In the future, they plan to work on other forms of job control, such as brain-computer interfaces or voice control.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Hospital weather forecast 07.08.2002

The medical consultant of the British Meteorological Service, Dr. William Byrd, having processed a large amount of information about the admission of patients to emergency rooms and comparing it with weather changes, came to interesting and important conclusions for practice.

So, three days after a cold snap, deaths from a heart attack become more frequent, after five days - strokes, after 12 - pulmonary diseases. By telling one of Reading's major hospitals which patients to prepare for in advance, Dr Bird saved her several thousand pounds.

Work in this direction is just beginning. In the future, the author of the research says, it will be possible to make personal weather forecasts for health for everyone.
