To design their improved materials, Serles and Filleter worked with Professor Seunghwa Ryu and PhD student Jinwook Yeo at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, South Korea. This partnership was initiated through U of T’s International Doctoral Clusters program, which supports doctoral training through research engagement with international collaborators.

The KAIST team employed the multi-objective Bayesian optimization machine learning algorithm. This algorithm learned from simulated geometries to predict the best possible geometries for enhancing stress distribution and improving the strength-to-weight ratio of nano-architected designs.

Serles then used a two-photon polymerization 3D printer housed in the Centre for Research and Application in Fluidic Technologies (CRAFT) to create prototypes for experimental validation. This additive manufacturing technology enables 3D printing at the micro and nano scale, creating optimized carbon nanolattices.

Robotic companions address the male loneliness epidemic.

The rise of highly realistic humanoid AI companions, like Arya, aims to alleviate male loneliness and promote social interaction, but raises female concerns about their impact on relationships, societal dynamics, and their ability to interest men.

## Technological and Social Impact 1. Arya, a flagship humanoid AI robot, is designed to combat the male loneliness epidemic by serving as a highly realistic girlfriend capable of forming genuine human-like bonds. 2. Priced at $110,000 for a basic model and $175,000 for a full-body version, Arya is marketed as cheaper than a wife in the West, offering companionship and household assistance. ## Economic and Demographic Implications t get pregnant and men wouldn## Customization and Functionality s AI is customizable to learn about users and brands, making her suitable for promoting products at conventions and becoming a rock star attraction. ” +2. The robot can be programmed to cook, clean, and provide companionship on command, fulfilling traditional household roles without incorporating smart or self-aware features to avoid potential rebellion.
