Tesla Bot Improvements 6i1j57
Tesla is showing new images of its Tesla Bots on a seemingly production-ready chassis, with one big new feature: it can now walk forward without as much stumbling when first introduced. The robots also seem to be able to do more things like picking up objects and recognizing items.
O Tesla Bot is a humanoid robot that was originally unveiled at the 2022 event AI Day of the company itself. At the time, Tesla was only able to show a disassembled version of the robot, which could barely walk forward, let alone perform any manual work on stage. Soon after, a version was shown that should be closer to a production model, but it was ed on a and could only wave to the audience.
The new video showing the novelty was presented by Elon Musk during the shareholder meeting event, with Musk stating that the team assembled the presentation robots the day before. Now Tesla is showing robots more like this more independent model, despite moving more slowly.
The video highlights some specific updates to this project, including motor torque control, object manipulation, Artificial Intelligence from movements tracked by humans, discovery and memorization of the environment.
A Tesla Bot was shown as an example picking up objects from one container and placing them in another, which was also shown as an example of training the robot's Artificial Intelligence from a human demonstration. These updates show significant advances in the development of the Tesla Bot and its ability to interact with the environment and manipulate objects.
43rd anniversary of Pac-Man and his LEGO 1q6jl
A LEGO just released a new set inspired by the 80's arcade classic: Pac-Man The set is composed of 2.650 pieces and it's made to recreate a Pac-Man arcade cabinet, complete with that traditional coin slot, a four-way joystick, and even a mech that simulates the game in action. This is a tribute to his 43rd birthday.
There's a crank on the side of the arcade that the can turn to move characters around the game's traditional maze, and the set also includes a miniature figure playing an even smaller version of the arcade. On top of the arcade are rotating versions of Pac-Man and the ghosts. Blinky e Clyde.
The set Pac-Man Lego Icons will retail for $270 USD when released for general sale on June 4, 2023, and will be available to Service from LEGO a few days earlier, on June 1st. That's the same as LEGO's recent tribute to video games, with the nationally known nintendo. The company also made it clear that this Pac-Man set is intended for people aged 18 and over, as an indication of the price and quantity of parts.
The revelation of this novelty occurs exactly 43 years after the Bandai Namco, which at the time was known only as Namco, first tested the game with of the public in 1980. The arcade game is considered one of the most popular arcade games of all time, and LEGO's press release notes that it was installed in almost 300.000 arcades in the seven years following its original release.
The launch of this tribute ends the partnership between LEGO and Nintendo, which also brought an interactive Super Mario set. Pretty nostalgic, right?
NASA footage from Mars 1n1q2n
The rover Perseverance, NASA, is currently positioned over an immense Martian crater, and from the equipment's records, we can see that there is a unique view there. While searching for traces of possible extinct life in the Martian desert, the rover captured 152 panoramic images of the crater called Beast. The space agency ed these images in a mosaic and also released them in video form.
Mars is littered with craters, large and small, often formed by the impact of objects that end up colliding with the Red Planet. the crater Beast, for example, which is more than half a kilometer in diameter, is no exception to the rule. It reveals clues about the aquatic past of Mars. Scientists claim that downward-sloping rocks could be evidence of an ancient Martian sand barrier, linked to a possible large river.
Katie Stack Morgan, project scientist for the Perseverance mission, says the team responsible for this project was so interested in imagining and studying Belva because these types of impact craters can offer great views and vertical cuts. These craters often provide important clues about the origin of these rocks, bringing a perspective and scale that we don't normally have access to so easily.
