2022-05-02 19:00:05 A cafe has opened in Tokyo, created specifically for writers who do not have time to finish their work by the deadline.

The scheme is as follows: clients come to the Manuscript Writing Café, write down their names, goals and the time for which they plan to finish, pay for being in the cafe — $1 for the first 30 minutes, and then $2.34 for each subsequent hour and work.

And in order for the work to be productive, they are monitored by an employee-controller. Visitors choose the level of control themselves: "soft" — they will simply ask if you have finished the work, "normal" — they register progress every hour and "hard" — an employee will stand behind and control the work.

2022-04-28 19:00:13 Scientists from the Beijing Institute of Technology have created a small robot that is modeled after a rat.

SQuRo has two degrees of freedom in each of the four paws, such a system simulates the spine of a real rat, which allows the robot to quickly bend the body and turn. Also, the robocrys can straighten up after a fall, climb into narrow passages with a diameter of up to 9 cm and even lift loads equal to its weight.

The authors of the project suggest that in practice SQuRo can be used when searching for victims at the sites of natural disasters, as well as for the survey of hard-to-reach objects. Open / Comment
