A research team from Seoul National University has proposed a gripper capable of moving multiple objects together to enhance the efficiency of pick-and-place processes, inspired by humans’ multi-object grasping strategy. The gripper not only transfers multiple objects at once but also places individual objects at desired locations. The study, which analyzed human motion principles and successfully applied them to a robotic gripper, is published in the journal Science Robotics.A research team from Seoul National University has proposed a gripper capable of moving multiple objects together to enhance the efficiency of pick-and-place processes, inspired by humans’ multi-object grasping strategy.

Processor type, IP address, browser in use, installed fonts—by collecting these and other characteristics of browser settings and the underlying operating system, it is possible to create a highly detailed and, in some cases, even unique profile of users. This phenomenon is known as browser fingerprinting.Processor type, IP address, browser in use, installed fonts—by collecting these and other characteristics of browser settings and the underlying operating system, it is possible to create a highly detailed and, in some cases, even unique profile of users.

Researchers are aiming to bring the magic of playing music in person to the virtual world. The Joint Active Music Sessions (JAMS) platform, created at the University of Birmingham, uses avatars created by individual musicians and shared with fellow musicians to create virtual concerts, practice sessions, or enhance music teaching.Researchers are aiming to bring the magic of playing music in person to the virtual world.
