Three paraplegics walk again one day after receiving an electronic implant
Categories:
Posted on February 11, 2022
Neuroscientists in Switzerland create a technology that enables people with spinal cord injuries to regain movement in a day. Three people who had been left paraplegic after motorcycle accidents have managed to get back on their feet. It has been thanks to a surgical intervention to implant 16 electrodes directly on his spinal cord…

The typing speed of a spinal cord injured was close to that of other people typing on their mobile. Sensors in the brain of a tetraplegic have captured neural activity while imagining that he was writing and have converted it, letter by letter, into text. This brain-computer interface (BCI) has achieved a writing speed close to that of anybody while typing on a mobile phone…

This robot, called Hadrian X, is an invention of the Australian company Fast Brick Robotics (FBR) They created the first prototype in 2005. After a time of doubts and issues, Hadrian X's precursor arrived. Its name was Hadrian 105 and, in 2016, it built the first block structure from a 3D CAD model. In 2017, a contract with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build 50,000 houses was the definitive push for this project. And in 2018, this robot was already a reality…

Categories:
Posted on April 1, 2021
An artificial intelligence system developed by the MIT Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) aims to decipher missing languages and learn more about the people who spoke them. The algorithms they have designed can automatically decipher a lost language using only a few thousand words (far less data than is commonly used to train algorithms). The records that have survived to our days of the languages ??that have been lost throughout history are so minimal (often la…

The invention of Jorge Terreu, 22 years old, from Aragón (Spain), has become an ideal tool to fight against loneliness. The device is named after Jorge's grandmother, Maximiliana. Jorge completed his third year in Computer Engineering in France, in 2018. Although he spoke with his family often, he missed seeing his grandmother Maximiliana, 86, who did not handle video calls or cell phones. So, in three months he reprogrammed a smartphone to automatically answer calls and he sent it home…

Posted on March 8, 2021
Scientists from the Advanced Institute of Industrial Science and Technology, AIST (Japan), present a drone that can pollinate an orchard in much the same way as the bees do. Many plants rely almost entirely on bees as natural pollinators to produce some of nature's most nutritious foods, but bee species have declined significantly in recent decades. To compensate for declining pollinator populations, scientists have been trying to create robotic pollination technologies, and this initiative ap…

All efforts to improve the diagnosis and early care of Alzheimer's are few. The Stevens University of Technology in New Jersey has developed an algorithm that detects the language deficits typical of the early stages of the disease. According to data from the World Health Organisation, dementia affects about 50 million people worldwide, of which about 60% live in low and middle-income countries…
