Swarming 3D printed smarticles unlock new method of robot locomotion and may be able to form load-bearing structures
An accidental discovery about construction staples led to the development of the swarming robots. Nick Gravish, a doctoral student at Georgia Tech working on a project with the Army Research Laboratory, found that if these heavy duty staples were poured into a box with removable sides, they would self-assemble into tower structures that will stay standing even if the box was disassembled. This, he realised, meant that entangling simple structures could lead to the formation of a composite structure with mechanical properties well beyond those of the original structures.
Brings children and people closer to technology : learn the logical connection between code and action, and by assembling it they understand how its components, and electronics work.
Buy a Otto DIY Kit robot you will be able to build your own custom robot in as little as one hour with your kids!
Otto DIY is more than a robot: you will learn how robots works, you will build and code your own Otto and his personality!The robot is completely open source, Arduino compatible, 3D printable, and with a social impact mission to create an inclusive environment for all kids.

One of the most commonly mentioned questions about the differences between AI and real intelligence is that the later seems to require less data than the former in order to achieve the same performance. However, we’ll explain to you in this article that why such phenomenon is nothing but an illusion… To continue reading, please visit: https://bit.ly/2p7xN0i #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #deeplearning #neuralnetworks #data #technology
Do you agree.
In addition, gene-editing technologies continue to advance in precision and ease of use, allowing families to treat and ultimately cure hundreds of inheritable genetic diseases.
This metatrend is driven by the convergence of: various biotechnologies (CRISPR, Gene Therapy), genome sequencing, and artificial intelligence.
When tested in mice, the molecule, dubbed halicin, effectively treated the gastrointestinal bug Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a common killer of hospitalized patients, and another type of drug-resistant bacteria that often causes infections in the blood, urinary tract, and lungs.
The most surprising feature of the molecule? It is structurally distinct from existing antibiotics, the researchers said. It was found in a drug-repurposing database where it was initially identified as a possible treatment for diabetes, a feat that showcases the power of machine learning to support discovery efforts.
A team of scientists at MIT have developed a computer program that will help humans decide how to best deal with the end of the world, so long as that comes in form of a catastrophic asteroid collision.
Experts say there as many as two or three new asteroids, sometimes called ‘Near Earth Objects,’ discovered every night.
It’s inevitable that one of these asteroids will eventually end drifting into a collision course with Earth.
