World’s longest suspension bridge to be built over earthquake fault line https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/worlds-longest-suspension-bridge-to-be-built-over-earthquake-fault-line https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/worlds-longest-suspension-bridge-to-be-built-over-earthquake-fault-line#respond Sun, 04 May 2025 22:06:11 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/worlds-longest-suspension-bridge-to-be-built-over-earthquake-fault-line

Construction of what would be the world’s longest suspension bridge is scheduled to begin this year, according to the Italian government.

The bridge between the island of Sicily and the Italian mainland would cross over the Strait of Messina, a distance of 3,300 meters, though the construction has to grapple with tectonic activity that could cause earthquakes.

Hyundai bets $21B on Atlas humanoid robots for US car assembly https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/hyundai-bets-21b-on-atlas-humanoid-robots-for-us-car-assembly https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/hyundai-bets-21b-on-atlas-humanoid-robots-for-us-car-assembly#respond Sun, 04 May 2025 19:16:04 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/hyundai-bets-21b-on-atlas-humanoid-robots-for-us-car-assembly

Hyundai Motor Group is taking a bold step into the future of factory automation with plans to deploy Atlas humanoid robots at its Metaplant America facility in Georgia.

These advanced bipedal robots, developed by Boston Dynamics are designed to perform tasks traditionally carried out by humans.

As per a report on Nikkei Asia, Atlas will automate up to 40 percent of vehicle assembly work at the facility by the end of this year.
