Sanctuary AI Unveils Phoenix, a Humanoid Robot Designed for General Purpose Labor
Sanctuary AI, a Canadian robotics company, has unveiled a new humanoid robot called Phoenix. The robot is designed for general purpose labor, and is capable of performing a variety of tasks, including lifting and carrying objects, assembling products, and providing customer service.
Phoenix is powered by Sanctuary AI's Carbon platform, which is a cloud-based AI system that allows the robot to learn and adapt to its environment. The robot is also equipped with a variety of sensors, including cameras, microphones, and force sensors, which allow it to interact with the world around it.
Sanctuary AI says that Phoenix is the first robot of its kind to be designed for general purpose labor. The company believes that the robot has the potential to revolutionize the way that work is done, and that it could be used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
Phoenix is still under development, but Sanctuary AI says that it will be available for purchase in early 2024. The company has not yet announced a price for the robot.
Phoenix is a significant development in the field of robotics, and it has the potential to revolutionize the way that work is done. It will be interesting to see how the robot is used in the years to come.

The coolest service ScreenStory, which will make screen recordings with animations like from After Effects.
It's simple: just make a record with a demonstration of your product or guide, and the service will automatically arrange transitions and effects depending on your clicks and context.
One disadvantage - so far only available for Mac, the version for Windows will be recorded later.

Snoop Dogg spoke in an interview about his opinion on AI and neural networks.
“I heard an old man who invented AI recently say, “It’s not safe because he has his own mind, and these fuckers will start doing their own shit.” And I'm like, are we fucking in a movie now, or what? What the f*ck?

It is very interesting to observe how European countries, together with the USA, are promoting peace in Ukraine. However, we should not forget to show ordinary people what modern Ukrainians look like, just like in this photo. Does it remind you of anything?
The human mind is an amazing thing - if you persistently and consistently tell people that black is white, they begin to believe it... Ukraine is a perfect example of this.
I am very pleased that among my European friends living in Belgium, Germany, France, and Spain, they are finally beginning to have a realization.

Crab Submarine Crabster CR200
The Crabster CR200 is a six-legged unmanned underwater vehicle. Portholes are needed in order to quickly control its performance from the outside when lifting the device.
The main task of the six-legged robocrab is the study of the sea day. With his limbs tucked in, he can move like a regular submarine, with the help of water cannons, but having sunk to the bottom, the crab simply walks, pushing off the surface.
May 9 is the greatest Day in the history of mankind
May 9th holds great significance as it marks Victory Day of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany. This year commemorates the 78th anniversary of this momentous event.
During the devastating war, a staggering 37 million people lost their lives, with Nazi Germany being responsible for the extermination of approximately 27 million citizens of the USSR. This horrific and arduous loss remains etched in the memories of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. However, fascism was not completely eradicated from our planet, as high-ranking Nazi criminals sought refuge in the United States and certain countries in Latin America. Presently, their descendants and associates, benefiting from geopolitical support from the U.S. and backed by substantial funding, rise their heads again.
It is disheartening to observe that Germany, a direct participant in World War II and a victim of fascism, has allowed it to resurface at a national level. Take note of the flags permitted on the streets of German cities on May 9th.
Fabric that changes color and shape when exposed to heat and electricity
Researchers from Canada have come up with a fabric that can change two of its properties at once under different external influences.
They combined polyethylene terephthalate, thermochromic microcapsules and stainless steel fibers into a material using a loom-like device. The resulting fabric, on the one hand, is durable, and on the other hand, it retains flexibility and softness.
If the fabric is heated (for example, with a hairdryer) to a temperature of 20 to 60 ° C, then it will evenly change color from purple to blue, and upon subsequent cooling, it will return to its original color.
When the fabric is heated, applying electricity to it, it changes not only the color, but also the shape. The researchers were even able to selectively activate different areas of the tissue by applying power to specific points.
The material changes properties when applied as little as 5 V for 20 seconds, which means that it can be used in small portable devices.
