Chinese developers showed footage of walking spider-like kamikaze drones

Chinese developers have introduced spider-like robots with the option of using kamikaze drones, in particular, to penetrate into dugouts, basements and other enemy shelters, carrying explosives and striking elements.
Despite the fact that developers of wheeled and tracked ground drones are currently the closest to creating effective models, the concept of a walking drone, previously widely presented in books, films and video games of the science fiction genre, may well demonstrate high efficiency in the near future.

How our brain processes language over time

Scientists have found coordinated temporal interaction within the human language network in the brain. The complex process of language processing is controlled by the interaction between widely distributed regions in the brain. But how exactly do the processes in our language network work?

Information is first processed in the temporal cortex, then in the frontal cortex and then back again in the temporal cortex. We were therefore able to causally prove that these areas work together during speech processing. The present results show that a remarkable temporally well-coordinated interaction between the areas within the language network provides the basis for the human ability to process language fast and efficiently which in turn make our everyday conversation so easy.

Language is more than speaking: How the brain processes sign language  

Broca's area in the left hemisphere of the brain, the central hub for spoken languages, is also the crucial brain region for sign languages. This is where the grammar and meaning of language are processed, regardless of whether it is spoken or signed language. This shows that our brain is generally specialized in processing linguistic information. Whether this information is spoken or signed seems to be of secondary importance.

Broca's area in the left hemisphere is a central node in the language network of the human brain. Depending on whether people use language in the form of signs, sounds or writing, it works together with other networks. Broca's area thus processes not only spoken and written language, as has been known up to now, but also abstract linguistic information in any form of language in general. The brain is therefore specialized in language per se, not in speaking.

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.
