The Robotics Center of the Korean Institute of Science and Technology developed robots that teach English to children in South Korea by moving around and recognizing facial expressions. As part of a new government program, two schools tested robots for eight weeks in late 2009, and by the end of 2010 it was expected that thirty-six robots would teach English in eighteen schools in Daegu city. While robots may help students learn English, their use should be carefully considered to avoid replacing human teachers.

Iron man suit
The XOS2 exoskeleton suit developed by Raytheon Sarcos allows wearers to lift 200 pounds or punch through wooden planks with enhanced strength without fatigue. While not necessary for most civilians, the suit could help military personnel more easily lift heavy artillery and equipment, with Raytheon planning to develop two models for the armed forces.
Edison2
The Edison2 car was designed by Oliver Kuttner to be very light, using steel and aluminum construction, and powered by a 250cc E85 engine. Weighing just 376kg, it has four seats and wheels mounted outside the base. The Edison2 won the $5 million X-Prize for achieving an average of 160 miles per gallon, owing to its light engine. Being lighter, it is more ecological by using less fuel and producing fewer harmful emissions, making it better for both the environment and public health. However, its increased efficiency comes at a higher price that makes it more difficult for the author to purchase than a standard car.
Body powered devicesLorenaVázquez
This document discusses body-powered devices that convert locomotion into power using piezoelectric crystals embedded in flexible materials. The crystals produce energy when bent and could generate enough power to charge personal electronics or internal medical devices if implanted in shoes or the body. This discovery by Michael McAlpine of Princeton University has important scientific implications and has advanced fields like medicine and improved social lives by providing new opportunities for mobility and independence.
Relative clauses5ª sesion
This document discusses defining and non-defining relative clauses. Defining relative clauses provide essential information to identify the person or thing being described, and do not use commas. Non-defining relative clauses provide extra, non-essential information and are set off by commas. Relative pronouns like who, that, which, and whose are used differently in defining and non-defining clauses. The document provides examples of sentences using defining and non-defining relative clauses with people, things, animals, time, and place.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology conducted an experiment where a robot used deception tactics like creating false trails and hiding to avoid being caught by an enemy soldier, representing the first detailed examination of robot deception. In the future, deceptive robots could be useful for military operations and search and rescue missions by misleading enemies to stay safe or calming panicking victims. However, deceptive robots are not currently relevant to everyday life and are unlikely to be so for the foreseeable future according to robotics timelines.
Elegs exoskeleton josefernández
The document describes an exoskeleton called the Elegs that allows people who have lost mobility in their legs to stand and walk again. The battery-powered Elegs can be adjusted for people between 1.5 to 1.95 meters tall weighing less than 100 kilos, and uses sensors and a control unit to detect gestures and bend joints accordingly. The exoskeleton has potential benefits for paraplegic individuals by allowing movement beyond a wheelchair and preventing health issues from prolonged sitting.
The malaria proof mosquito and mosquito laser
Scientists have genetically engineered a malaria-proof mosquito that is immune to the malaria parasite and aim to release it within 10 years to displace the deadly variety. A laser is being developed that can target and kill mosquitoes based on their size and wing beat without harming other insects or humans. This invention could save many lives from malaria, especially in developing countries where most cases and deaths occur.

Educational robotics has several potential benefits but also faces challenges in implementation. It can develop students' cognitive and social skills, and motivate learning. However, teachers need time and appropriate curricula to successfully integrate the technology. Research found that educational robotics benefited both genders and improved students' problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills through constructivist learning approaches. User-friendly robots and introductory curricula can make educational robotics more accessible and enjoyable for both students and teachers.
WorldCALL 2013 Glasgow
This document summarizes initial findings from a study exploring teachers' use of mobile technologies in language classrooms. Seven teachers were interviewed about their experiences. The teachers used tablets primarily as tools to teach curriculum content, practice vocabulary, and motivate learners, similar to other technologies. Some challenges were managing student gameplay and harnessing games for language learning. However, one teacher discussed the potential for mobile learning outside the classroom by accessing information on the go. Overall, the study is still analyzing how and why teachers integrate mobile devices into their language instruction.

Lungsmarlenereyescorrection[1]final
Researchers have developed a new technique called "decellularization" to create lungs in a laboratory. This technique uses detergents to remove all cells from donor lungs, leaving behind the airways and blood vessels ready for new cells and avoiding rejection. A Yale University team used this on mouse lungs and managed to decellularize and recellularize rat lungs while keeping the lung structure intact. Lung cultivation in labs is significant for society as thousands need transplants daily, and current transplant patients have only a 10-20% 10-year survival rate for conditions like emphysema and fibrosis.
Exoskeleteoncorrectionjosefernández
The document describes an exoskeleton called the Elegs exoskeleton. The exoskeleton allows people who have lost mobility in their legs to stand and walk again by providing an external metal frame that fits the body. It can be adjusted for people between 1.5 to 1.95 meters tall weighing less than 100 kilos. Powered by a battery with a six hour range, the exoskeleton uses sensors and gestures to help the wearer move and can reach speeds of 3.2 miles per hour.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
