Boston Dynamics Robots can now open doors and escape

<br />
Boston Dynamics <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUyU3lKzoio" target="_blank">posted a video</a><span style="margin-left: 5px; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></span> of its <a href="https://www.bostondynamics.com/spot-mini" target="_blank">SpotMini</a>
 quadruped robot extending an arm out of its head to turn a handle. With
 the dexterity of a tray-carrying butler, it uses its foot to prop the 
door ajar, then elbows it all the way open for its (armless) SpotMini 
friend to walk through. At face value, it's a pretty incredible feat. 
But it's also an interesting twist in the quest to make robots that get 
along with a world built by and for humans. Maybe the Darpa Robotics 
Challenge had it wrong with humanoids after all, and the best robots for
 rescue operations will look nothing like humans—or any other animal, 
for that matter.<br />
<br />
<div class="paywall">
At the moment, humanoids are 
great at two things: Looking like humans and falling on their faces, as 
the Robotics Challenge showed so well. (Though one particular humanoid, 
Cassie, does much better in part because it doesn't yet have an <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/want-a-robot-to-walk-like-you-dont-expect-it-to-look-human/">upper body to worry about yet</a>.)
 Walking on two legs is a monumental challenge; that’s why Chimp, a 
vaguely humanoid machine that rolled on treads instead of lumbering on 
two legs, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/the-legend-of-chimp-the-vaguely-humanoid-robot/">did so well</a>.</div>
<div class="paywall">
  </div>
<div class="paywall">
<img alt="" class="u-block" data-src="https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/963334213914251264/9IG10rX0?format=jpg&name=600x314" height="334" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/963334213914251264/9IG10rX0?format=jpg&name=600x314" width="640" /></div>
<div class="paywall">
<br /></div>
<div class="paywall">
And
 also why SpotMini has such promise. Humanoids should be inherently 
well-equipped to explore environments built for humans, what with all 
the stairs and such. But SpotMini has a leg up (sorry) here because four
 limbs are inherently more stable than two. Not to mention that it’s 
more energy efficient if you don’t have to constantly balance your 
machine to not fall on its face.</div>
<div class="paywall">
Plus, well, this bot <em>technically</em>
 has five limbs. This newest version of SpotMini marries the stability 
of a quadruped with the dexterity of a human. It’s a hybrid creature 
that shows the awesome power of robotics: Human engineers are inventing 
an incredible array of new species because they’re not bound by the rules of nature, just physics.
 Want to put an extra arm on a four-legged robot? Go ahead. And why not 
make Chimp roll instead of step, if that makes it more stable?</div>
<div class="paywall">
SpotMini
 is but one species in a robotic kingdom that is exploding with 
diversity. And it’s thanks in large part to door handles. <em>Finally</em>, a technology whose time has come.</div>

<div class="article__summary summary ">
        Scientists have discovered how to make old human cells young 
again through rejuvenation. It’s an exciting discovery that could change
 the way humans age. 
    </div>
<div class="article__text text ">
Researchers at the University of Exeter and University of Brighton <a href="https://bmccellbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12860-017-0147-7">found</a>
 they could rejuvenate senescent cells, cells that had stopped their 
natural growth cycle,causing them to start to divide again. The 
experiment found they not only look younger, but also behave like 
younger cells.<br />
<br />
<strong><img alt="" class="u-block" data-src="https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/963779778024235008/pI2Ar9eU?format=jpg&name=600x314" height="334" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/963779778024235008/pI2Ar9eU?format=jpg&name=600x314" width="640" /> </strong><br />
<br /><em>“When I saw some of the 
cells in the culture dish rejuvenating I couldn't believe it. These old 
cells were looking like young cells. It was like magic,”</em> researcher Dr. Eva Latorre <a href="http://www.exeter.ac.uk/news/featurednews/title_620529_en.html">said</a><strong>. </strong><em>“I
 repeated the experiments several times and in each case the cells 
rejuvenated. I am very excited by the implications and potential for 
this research.</em>”<br />

The research builds on 
earlier findings that showed ‘splicing factor’ genes switch off as 
humans age. Scientists found a way to restart the splicing through 
chemicals.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong>According
 to the researchers, this could change the way we age, with the hope 
that humans will experience less of the degeneration that comes with 
aging. Older people are more likely to have strokes, heart disease and 
other illnesses, but with cell rejuvenation, this could be decreased.<br />
<br />
“<em>This
 demonstrates that when you treat old cells with molecules that restore 
the levels of the splicing factors, the cells regain some features of 
youth,” </em>team leader Professor Lorna Harries <a href="http://www.exeter.ac.uk/news/featurednews/title_620529_en.html">said</a><strong>.</strong><em><strong>  </strong>They
 are able to grow, and their telomeres - the caps on the ends of the 
chromosomes that shorten as we age -  are now longer, as they are in 
young cells. Far more research is needed now, to establish the true 
potential for these sort [sic] of approaches to address the degenerative
 effects of ageing.</em> ”</div>

<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For years, researchers have known that carbon, when arranged in a certain way, can be very strong.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Two  man-made materials based on carbon, Graphene and Carbyne, are among the strongest in the world.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Carbyne is linear acetylenic carbon, or an infinitely long carbon chain.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Its existence was first proposed in 1885 by Adolf von Baeyer, who warned it would remain elusive due to extreme instability.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Carbyne
 is a one-dimensional form of carbon and is thought to be 40 times 
stiffer than diamond and twice as stiff as graphene, outperforming all 
other carbon materials in strength.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After
 eluding scientists for more than 50 years, a team of researchers found a
 way to not only synthesize carbyne, but to mass produce it, in April 
2016.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Graphene,
 a single atomic layer of carbon atoms bound in a hexagonal network, was
 previously thought to be the strongest man-made substance.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It
 not only promises to revolutionize semiconductor, sensor, and display 
technology, but could also lead to breakthroughs in fundamental quantum 
physics research.</span></div>

Bell V-280 Valor Reaches 80 Knots

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="Bell V-280 Valor" class="" height="541" itemprop="associatedMedia" src="https://cdn3.img.sputniknews.com/images/106013/78/1060137809.jpg" title="Bell V-280 Valor" width="1000" /><br />
<br />
<div class="b-article__lead" itemprop="description">
The V-280 Valor 
Joint Multi-Role Demonstrator from Bell Helicopter has shown it is 
capable of reaching a forward flight speed of 80 knots in recent tests.</div>
Keith
 Flail, the company's vice president for advanced tilt-rotor systems, 
told Defense News in an interview that since its maiden flight 
on December 18 at the Bell facility in Amarillo, Texas, the aircraft has
 been behaving "incredibly well."<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
Last week, the tilt-rotor aircraft reached an air speed 
of 80 knots while flying at an altitude of 1,000 feet, accompanied by a 
chase aircraft. It has also demonstrated its ability to ground taxi, 
hover taxi and perform low-altitude hovering maneuvers, including 360 
pedal turns and forward/aft/lateral repositions.</div>
 <br />
<img alt="Bell V-280" class="" height="375" src="https://cdn3.img.sputniknews.com/images/105121/16/1051211604.jpg" title="Bell V-280" width="705" /><br />
<br />
Flail pointed out that a flight speed of 80 knots begins to test a new 
function that hasn't been tested yet: minor pylon rotation — which 
converts the rotors from facing upward, like a helicopter, to facing 
forward, like an airplane — and as air speed continues to pick 
up incrementally, the pylons will move to face forward until the 
aircraft is in full cruise mode.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
Designed to fly twice as fast as conventional helicopters, 
the V-280 was developed as part of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) 
program to create a new generation of tilt-rotor airframes for the US 
military.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="marker-quote1" dir="ltr">
According to Bell, Valor has already 
logged more than 52 hours of rotor turn time, more than eight hours 
of flight time and over 28 hours in restrained ground runs.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The US military currently operates one tilt-rotor aircraft,
 the V-22 Osprey, also built by Bell, which first flew in 1989 but only 
entered service in 2007 due to repeated accidents and equipment 
failures.</div>

Lockheed Martin is being awarded a $150 million cost-plus-incentive-fee <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract-View/Article/1425283/" target="_blank">contract</a>
 for Surface Navy Laser Weapon System Increment 1, High Energy Laser and
 Integrated Optical-dazzler with a surveillance system. Under this 
contract Lockheed Martin Aculight Corp. will develop, manufacture, and 
deliver two test units in fiscal 2020 (one unit for a Destroyer, and 
another land-based testing). This contract includes options which, if 
exercised, would bring the cumulative value of this contract to $943 
million.<br />
<br />
The combat lasers will be 150-kilowatts and could get upgraded to 300 kilowatts for more range and power.<br />
The 300-kilowatt lasers could destroy fast-moving, incoming missiles before they can strike their targets.<br />
The 150-kilowatt and 300-kilowatt lasers have been delayed by 2 years since they were planned in 2015.<br />

<br />
China is believed to be testing the world’s first ship-mounted rail gun,
 a technology that military experts say has the potential to fire shells
 with enough force to destroy a warship and precision to shoot down a 
satellite.<br />
The controversial development comes as China seeks to transform its navy
 into a blue-water force capable of rivalling the United States and 
projecting power far from home shores.<br />
Photographs of a rail gun mounted on a warship docked in Wuhan, Hubei 
province, have surfaced on Chinese military websites in the last week, 
indicating the People’s Liberation Army Navy is testing the 
electromagnetic weapon and has been able to make it more compact.<br />

Rail guns fire shells using electromagnetic force rather than 
traditional explosive propulsion systems. They are designed to fire the 
projectiles with more accuracy and power and over a longer range, but 
are also extremely expensive.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://cdn3.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/images/methode/2018/02/06/b87fa562-0a53-11e8-a09e-8861893b1b1a_1320x770_214826.jpeg" src="https://cdn3.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/images/methode/2018/02/06/b87fa562-0a53-11e8-a09e-8861893b1b1a_1320x770_214826.jpeg" /><br />
<br />
The US has researched and tested rail guns for years, with prototypes 
firing projectiles at up to 7,800km/hour over a 150km range. The cost of
 the projectiles was reportedly US$1 million per round.<br />
But the Chinese device appears to be the first mounted on a ship.<br />
The rail gun uses electromagnetic technology known as IEPS that state 
media confirmed last year would power China’s first home-grown aircraft 
carrier.<br />
The system was developed by a team headed by decorated PLA naval 
engineer Rear Admiral Ma Weiming, who told state broadcaster CCTV in 
July that his ultimate goal was to install weapons such as rail guns on 
the carrier.<br />
<br />
China’s state-run <i>Science and Technology Daily</i> reported on Monday
 that the cutting-edge technology would be deployed on the Type-055, the
 country’s biggest guided-missile destroyer designed as part of future 
aircraft carrier battle groups.<br />
But sources close to Chinese military told the <i>South China Morning Post</i> that the destroyer’s propulsion system and internal design were not suited for the rail gun.<br />
The gun in the photographs was installed on a Type-072 landing ship refitted to house the bulky electrical equipment.<br />
<br />
Song Zhongping, military commentator and former member of the PLA’s 
Second Artillery Corps, said future generations of the destroyer could 
be fitted with the weapon down the track.<br />
Song said China was closing the gap with the US and it was possible that
 China could eventually abandon explosives in favour of electromagnetic 
systems.<br />
“China has spared no effort to catch up the US’ electromagnetic 
technology, to turn the new technology into an all-purpose propulsion 
system for wide use in ship-mounted weapons and maglev trains and even 
to replace rockets to launch satellites into the space,” he said.<br />
“The leaked photos show China is now not only catching up to the US in 
ship-borne rail gun technology, but may surpass the US in next five to 
10 years. This is because the US needs more time to approve budgets 
while China’s political system allows it to put more funding into 
special projects.”<br />
<br />
The US Naval Institute reported last month that the US Navy scrapped 
plans in 2016 to buy 2,000 rail gun projectiles but would continue to 
monitor new technologies that could be incorporated into its existing 
systems.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://cdn4.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/images/methode/2018/02/06/f34c9de4-0a53-11e8-a09e-8861893b1b1a_1320x770_214826.JPG" src="https://cdn4.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/images/methode/2018/02/06/f34c9de4-0a53-11e8-a09e-8861893b1b1a_1320x770_214826.JPG" /><br />Photographs surface of ship-mounted electromagnetic weapon that could

<br />
Beijing-based military analyst Zhou Chenming said the purchase stalled 
because of the expensive technology’s low return on investment.<br />
“The US is hesitating because the cost of the new weapon’s development 
is huge, while its practicability is debatable,” Zhou said.<br />
“Proponents argue that [rail guns] can hit targets several thousand 
kilometres away guided by the space-based Global Positioning System. But
 [the US] air force can hit long-range targets easily by dropping cruise
 missiles from their stealth bombers or fighters, something that is much
 more cost-effective.”<br />
<br />
Military insiders said the high cost of and Ma’s involvement in the Chinese rail gun project also made it contentious.<br />
“The decision to develop the costly electromagnetic rail gun also 
provoked debate because so far only Ma and his team are the only 
electromagnetic experts developing it,” one insider said.<br />
“But Ma’s team has the backing of the leadership and that is also the 
reason why the electromagnetic technology has been developed so fast in 
China.”<br />
Last year Chinese President Xi Jinping awarded Ma, 57, the country’s highest military honour, the Order of August 1.<br />
