At the end of Tesla’s 2021 AI Day last August, Elon Musk introduced a concept for “Tesla Bot,” an electromechanically-actuated, autonomous bipedal “general purpose” humanoid robot. Musk suggested that a prototype of Tesla Bot (also called “Optimus”) would be complete within the next year. After a lot of hype, a prototype of Tesla Bot was… Continue reading For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is Exactly What We Expected

And yet even now, after 150 years of development, the sound we hear from even a high-end audio system falls far short of what we hear when we are physically present at a live music performance. At such an event, we are in a natural sound field and can readily perceive that the sounds of… Continue reading Video Friday: StickBot – IEEE Spectrum

As Verne understood, the U.S. Civil War (during which 60,000 amputations were performed) inaugurated the modern prosthetics era in the United States, thanks to federal funding and a wave of design patents filed by entrepreneurial prosthetists. The two World Wars solidified the for-profit prosthetics industry in both the United States and Western Europe, and the… Continue reading Robo-Ostrich Sprints to 100m World Record

To win over consumers, manufacturers should build in touching experience in product designs. A pioneering study found that the value of a product could be increased by differentiating its tactile impression. The study conducted by researchers from Hiroshima University (HU) and DIC Corporation was carried out on 139 HU students and staff who were also… Continue reading Actile impressions add product value, study finds — ScienceDaily

Flying 3D-printing robots modeled after wasps and birds may one day repair and build structures at remote sites beyond the reach of standard construction teams, a new study finds. Construction robots that can 3D-print structures on sites may one day prove faster, safer and more productive than human teams. However, construction robotics currently mostly focus… Continue reading Flying Robots 3D-Print Structures in Flight

Being in “poor health” is far more than just a saying, according to a new University of Michigan study. In fact, adults’ risk of serious financial problems rises directly with the number of chronic health conditions they have, the study of nearly 3 million privately insured adults finds. They didn’t need to have rare conditions,… Continue reading As health problems stack up, so do serious financial woes, study shows — ScienceDaily
