Китайские роботы-курьеры научились пользоваться метро

Сеть продовольственных магазинов 7-Eleven в китайском Шэньчжэне наняла роботов для доставки с помощью метро товаров в свои розничные точки, расположенные на территории подземки. С понедельника 41 автономный робот-курьер размером с комод будут пополнять полки магазинов этой сети в периоды наименьшей загруженности подземки. За их работу отвечает компания VX Logistics, подразделение Vanke, гиганта в сфере недвижимости, частично принадлежащего метрополитену Шэньчжэня.

I was wrong about robots.txt

Recently, I wrote an article about my journey in learning about robots.txt and its implications on the data rights in regards to what I write in my blog. I was confident that I wanted to ban all the crawlers from my website. Turned out there was an unintended consequence that I did not account for. My LinkedIn posts became broken Ever since I changed my robots.txt file, I started seeing that my LinkedIn posts no longer had the preview of the article available. I was not sure what the issue was initially, since before then it used to work just fine. In addition to that, I have noticed that LinkedIn’s algorithm has started serving my posts to fewer and fewer connections. I was a bit confused by the issue, thinking that it might have been a temporary problem. But over the next two weeks the missing post previews did not appear.

Robots now grow and repair themselves by consuming parts from other machines

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots that can physically "grow," "heal," and improve themselves by integrating material from their environment or from other robots.

Elephant robot demonstrates bioinspired 3D printing technology

A cheetah's powerful sprint, a snake's lithe slither, or a human's deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones work together to provide the energy, precision, and range of motion needed to perform the complex movements seen throughout the animal kingdom.

Robot hand 'feels' pain and ignores harmless touch with new sensory system

In the midst of the co-development of artificial intelligence and robotic advancements, developing technologies that enable robots to efficiently perceive and respond to their surroundings like humans has become a crucial task. In this context, Korean researchers are gaining attention for newly implementing an artificial sensory nervous system that mimics the sensory nervous system of living organisms without the need for separate complex software or circuitry. This breakthrough technology is expected to be applied in fields such as in ultra-small robots and robotic prosthetics, where intelligent and energy-efficient responses to external stimuli are essential.
