Recycling EV batteries is a problem, but not as you think

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

The global rush to recycled batteries is excellent news for automakers, however, there isn’t nearly enough scrap to feed them all.

The wave of new factories poses a significant risk for the recycling industry itself, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

“Nobody is really looking at each other, and they seem to think there will be a lot of scrap and end-of-life batteries,” Hans Eric Melin, the founder of a UK-based consultancy Circular Energy Storage(CES), told Bloomberg.

Nao is the new shoulder to lean on for children.

Sometimes it can be difficult for children to open their hearts to adults. If there is a mental disorder, this situation can be even more difficult. However, a robot called “Nao” overcame it.

Robots may be more effective in identifying children’s mental health problems than parental or self-reported testing, according to a recent study by the University of Cambridge.

James Webb Telescope captures its first images of an exoplanet

Posted by in categories: futurism, space

Exoplanets are rarely seen in images.

In a first for the James Webb Telescope, astronomers from the joint NASA/ESA/CSA cooperative used the space-based telescope to bring back images of an exoplanet. Exoplanets are planets orbiting other suns than our own, helping us to understand if we are unique in the universe or if other Earth-like planets exist.

5,700-year-old Neolithic Woman’s Facial Reconstruction Revealed by Scientists

Posted by in category: futurism

She could be related to modern-day Malaysians.

A study by Universiti Sains Malaysia has revealed a prehistoric woman’s facial reconstruction. It is thought that this prehistoric “Penang Woman” lived about 5,700 years ago during the Neolithic or New Stone Age in what is now Malaysia, the study suggests, which was published on August 5. However, the woman’s full identity is still unknown.

Universiti Sains Malaysia researcher Shaiful Idzwan Shahidan, one of seven USM researchers who worked on the project, told FMT that Penang Woman is estimated to have died when she was 30 to 35 years old.

Aerial Dragon Robot Reconfigures Itself into a Flying Manipulator

Posted by in categories: drones, robotics/AI

A couple years ago, we wrote about the Dual-rotor embedded multilink Robot with the Ability of multi-deGree-of-freedom aerial transformatiON—Dragon, of course. It’s one of the wildest drones we’ve ever seen, consisting of four pairs of gimbaled, ducted fans, with each pair linked together through a two-axis actuated joint, making it physically flexible in flight to a crazy degree.

Dragon is one of those robots with literally more degrees of freedom than it knows what to do with—in the sense that the hardware is all there. But the trick is getting it to use that hardware to do things that are actually useful in a reliable way. In 2018, Dragon was just learning how to transform itself to fit through small spaces, but now it’s able to adapt its entire structure to manipulate and grasp objects.
