MOWRATOR Launches the World’s First All-in-one Battery-powered Remote Control Robotic Lawn Mower
When I was a kid I always had to mow the lawn, and not with those ones you ride like a toy.
/PRNewswire/ — Intelligent robotics brand MOWRATOR is targeting the North American market. MOWRATOR will launch the world’s first battery-powered all-in-one remote control robotic lawn mower, S1, globally in early 2024. MOWRATOR S1 debuted at the GIE Landscaping Equip Expo trade show in October 2023, followed by the Orlando Makers Faire in November 2023. MOWRATOR S1 received enthusiastic feedback from industry partners, landscaping professionals, and homeowners. Attendees were impressed by MOWRATOR S1’s all-metal frame with its 21 steel blade, autopilot L2 cruise control and U-turn, and one-button auto-dumping mechanism. Furthermore, MOWRATOR S1 also developed more modules to meet autumn leaf vacuum and other yard care needs, unique from the market’s standard remote control lawn mower.
Can AI review the scientific literature — and figure out what it all means?
Artificial intelligence could help speedily summarize research. But it comes with risks.
Young again: study shows that comb jellies can age in reverse
For most animals, ageing is a one-way journey. In a recent PNAS publication, researchers Joan Soto-Angel and Pawel Burkhardt discovered that a species of comb jelly can reverse its life cycle, returning from adulthood to a larval stage.
Unlocking the mysteries of complex biological systems with agentic AI
Embracing the paradigm shift of agentic AI could lead to massive advancements in healthcare as we know it.
Satellite data and neuroimaging reveal how environment can impact brain development
A recent study links satellite and brain imaging data to identify how environmental factors can impact mental health, cognition and brain development in young people.
The research, published in the journal Nature Mental Health, is part of a collaboration involving a team of university researchers from around the world led by experts in the tri-institutional Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS Center) based at Georgia State University and New Light Technologies.
The study, titled “Urban-Satellite Estimates in the ABCD Study: Linking Neuroimaging and Mental Health to Satellite Imagery Measurements of Macro Environmental Factors,” represents an advance in understanding how specific environmental conditions may impact the brains of young people.
Spacecraft completed for NASA’s TRACERS mission, key milestone passed
The twin spacecraft of NASA’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission were recently completed, in preparation for launch in 2025.
Embracing The Future Of Cryptography And Identity Management
Looking ahead to 2025, it’s time for organizations to put the right tools and processes in place to prepare for post-quantum cryptography.
Metagenomic sequencing test proves effective in diagnosing almost any kind of pathogen
A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen—virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite—has proved successful after a decade of use.
The test has the potential to vastly improve care for neurological infections that cause diseases like meningitis and encephalitis, as well as speed up the detection of new viral pandemic threats. It uses a powerful genomic sequencing technique, called metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS).
Rather than looking for one type of pathogen at a time, mNGS analyzes all the nucleic acids, RNA and DNA, that are present in a sample.
