Ozmo window cleaner

24.08.2023

Innovative startup Skyline Robotics is set to change the New York skyscraper cleaning landscape with its latest creation, a robot named Ozmo. Ozmo is active in high-rise window cleaning.

At the forefront of technological advancement, this unique robot performs window cleaning tasks on Manhattan's skyscrapers with ease. In his arsenal is an innovative structure similar to a robotic arm equipped with a washing brush. But the real star of the functionality is the LiDAR camera, which allows you to monitor windows and pinpoint their location on a building.

Skyline Robotics President and COO Ross Blume explains that LiDAR creates a XNUMXD map of the building and ensures that the robot is positioned optimally to clean windows as efficiently as possible. The movements of the robot are controlled by an operator on the roof, but remote control is also provided.

The Skyline Robotics team emphasizes that the main goal of Ozmo is not to replace the human factor from cleaning work, but to introduce new technologies and reorient professionals to use modern tools. However, due to the nature of the workflow, Ozmo is able to reduce the need for a large number of workers required to maintain window facades.

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, ... >>

Self-driving car from Nokia 28.08.2013

Nokia is going deeper into the automotive market, although there is no talk of developing its own car yet, according to GigaOM, citing Michael Halbherr, executive vice president of Nokia's Location & Commerce division.

Nokia is a major provider of digital maps and traffic information for in-vehicle navigation systems - in 2008 it acquired US-based Navteq for $8,1 billion. Navteq has been part of Location & Commerce since 2011 . Navteq is currently used by people in 196 countries on 6 continents.

At the same time, Halber believes that Nokia will go far beyond digital maps and leverage existing relationships with automakers for new beginnings. He did not specify what kind of undertakings he is talking about, but GigaOM writes that Nokia is hatching plans to create an autonomous vehicle control system (control system without driver participation).

Such a system was introduced in 2010 by Google, which has its own mapping division. According to the latest information, she was unable to agree with manufacturers on the integration of this system, so the company decided to create its own car.

Nokia believes that such cars can be integrated into the infrastructure and be part of "smart" cities. The route of movement of such vehicles may depend not only on traffic, but also on environmental requirements - that is, be such that carbon dioxide emissions from the operation of these vehicles are minimal.
