three-eyed worker

27.02.2011

The Germans come up with a robot that can be put on the conveyor. The shortage of workers is a serious problem in developed countries. It is associated with both low birth rates and a high level of social security. It can be solved in three ways - to invite workers from abroad, to raise salaries for locals, or to create robots.

The third way is trying to master the engineers of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Systems and Process Design with the support of the European Commission. The robot, created by a group led by Dr. Dragoljub Surdilovich, will look like a person. Same size, two hands, sensitive fingers, three eyes.

He will be able to take the place of a worker at the conveyor and, for example, put a gear on the shaft. If it does not fit right away, the robot will twist the product in its fingers and find the correct position - a modern XNUMXD camera will help it with this. In another shop, where the robot will check the quality of the coating, it will need two additional eyes. Since each of them looks at a different section of the product being tested, the robot will cope with the task faster than a person. Yes, and he can work around the clock without a break for lunch.

And to make it easier for a mechanical worker to fit into the work team, the creators will provide him with a face capable of expressing emotions. Most likely, an industrial robot will cost a lot, but what can you do to reduce the influx of guest workers.

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, ... >>

Nostalgia is good for the psyche 23.10.2016

American scientists have made a new discovery about the impact of nostalgia on human existence. As it turned out, this feeling can significantly improve life in the psychological aspect.

To do this, experts conducted a study in which they interviewed several hundred people. Respondents were asked to answer questions related to moments from their past lives. At the same time, scientists focused their attention on such "markers" as familiar objects, sounds and smells that can revive memories.

During the study, the experts noted that the nostalgia experienced by people contributed to strengthening relationships with other participants. According to the observations of scientists, inhaled aromas and listened to audio recordings that evoked fond memories improved the mood and general emotional background of people.

According to the researchers, nostalgia also has a positive effect on creative thinking. At the same time, scientists recommended not to indulge in nostalgic experiences while shopping. Plunging into oneself, a person begins to take his spending lightly ...
