Tower of Hanoi

Tower of Hanoi has become a popular tool in cognitive and neuropsychology to assess a set of behaviors collectively referred to as executive functions. It is a classical puzzle applied in the psychology of problem solving and skill learning. In the standard wooden version, it consists of three vertical pegs and a variable number of disks, usually three to five, with increasing diameter.

Mice seen giving 'first aid' to unconscious companions

Young mice seemingly attempt to revive an anaesthetised cage mate by grooming and biting it and will even pull aside the tongue to clear its airway.

When they find another mouse unconscious, some mice seemingly try to revive their companion by pawing at them, biting and even pulling their tongue aside to clear their airways. The finding hints that caregiving behaviour might be more common in the animal kingdom than we thought.

There are rare reports of large, social mammals trying to help incapacitated members of their species, such as wild chimpanzees touching and licking wounded peers, dolphins attempting to push a distressed pod mate to the surface so it can breathe and elephants rendering assistance to ailing relatives.

These more physical interactions also involved licking the eyes and biting the mouth area. After focusing on the mouth, the mice pulled on the tongue of their unresponsive partner in more than 50 per cent of cases.

In a separate test, researchers gently placed a non-toxic plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse. In 80 per cent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object.

Meanwhile In China, They Have Autonomous Spherical Robot Patrolling The Streets

Meet the RG-T, a police robot developed by Zhejiang University and the Wenzhou Public Security Bureau. Unlike Guardbot, this one isn’t stuck in concept limbo—it’s out on the streets and ready to roll, literally.

Weighing in at 125 kilograms (276 pounds), the RG-T combines the intelligence of a high-tech drone with the durability of a tank. It’s armed to the spherical teeth, sporting gadgets like net guns, tear gas sprayers, and even sonic dispersal tools. Rolling at a top speed of 35 km/h, this bot can track, fight, and even apprehend suspects. With amphibious capabilities, it doesn’t just patrol streets—it can splash into action in water too.

The RG-T [CH] isn’t just brawn. Its L4 autonomous driving system uses adaptive control algorithms and a “compound eye” panoramic vision system, mimicking insect eyes for a 360-degree view. No maps or GPS needed—this little guy knows where it’s going and how to get there. Whether it’s navigating urban alleys or bounding over obstacles, it’s as smart as it is tough.

Capable of withstanding impacts up to 4 tons, the RG-T could roll down a hill, smack into something, and bounce back, ready for more. It’s the ultimate mix of cute and formidable, a robot that can disarm you with its charm before disarming a criminal.

پژوهش های دانشگاه باید به سمت نیازهای اساسی کشور هدایت شوند.

در سه سال گذشته، طرحی تحت عنوان طرح «هاتف» اجرا شد که در آن به سرمایه‌گذاری روی مسائل علمی و نیازهای کشور پرداخته شد. این طرح به نوعی همکاری بین واحدهای مختلف معاونت پژوهشی و معاونت علمی بود که هدف آن پاسخ به نیازهای کشور از طریق سرمایه‌گذاری در پروژه‌های دانشگاهی بود.

معاون پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی شریف بیان کرد: طرح «هاتف» نیز معرفی خواهد شد؛ طرحی که برای ساماندهی پروژه‌هایی طراحی شده است که دانشجویان هدایت تیم‌های تحقیقاتی را بر عهده دارند. ما هم‌اکنون ۵۰ طرح فعال داریم و انتظار داریم حداقل ۲۰ تا ۳۰ شرکت جدید از دل این طرح‌ها شکل بگیرد. تأمین بودجه این پروژه‌ها با همکاری معاونت علمی انجام شده است و امیدواریم که این محصولات به مرحله تجاری‌سازی برسند.

China-led international standard for elderly care robots released by IEC

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recently released the China-led international standard for elderly care robots, which is based on the physiological and behavioral characteristics of the elderly. It provides benchmarks for the product design, manufacturing, testing and certification of various types of elderly care robots, aiming to support the sustainable growth of the global elderly care robotics industry. 

In addition to general requirements such as usability, reliability, accessibility, energy consumption and noise levels, the standard also specifies technical requirements for various services provided by elderly care robots. 

These services include monitoring of health status and emergency situations, facilitating communication with family and medical professionals, assisting with household tasks, entertainment, home management, and caregiving, providing mobility assistance.
