🤖 FiloBot: A Robot That Grows and Adapts

Developed by the Italian Institute of Technology, FiloBot → is a vine-like robot that can grow around trees and rocks, mimicking plant-like behaviors. Equipped with light sensors, a gyroscope, and head-integrated electronics, the robot autonomously adjusts its temperature, orientation, and plastic deposition speed to control the direction of its growth, always heading toward the light and away from the ground. Using a continuous extrusion process, FiloBot constructs its body using thermoplastic filament, adapting its thickness based on the environment.

Its innovative design and autonomous capabilities hold promise for complex applications in hard-to-reach natural environments, showcasing a significant advancement in robotic technology.

📸 New Camera System Allows Humans to See the World as Animals Do

Scientists at the University of Sussex and George Mason University have developed a camera system → that can recreate how animals see the world through both visible and ultraviolet light.

The technology uses two cameras and custom software to record 4 different color channels, including blue, green, red, and UV, and processes the data using Python to accurately depict how animals perceive those colors. When compared to traditional spectrophotometry methods, the new system predicted perceived colors with an accuracy of over 92%.

The open-source software and modular 3D-printed casing make the technology accessible for future research, offering potential insights into animal communication and conservation efforts.

👟 MIT Engineers Innovates Sneaker Design

MIT engineers have developed a shoe model → that tailors sneakers for peak performance. Using personalized dimensions and specific shoe properties, the model predicts how certain aspects will affect a runner’s performance.  The researchers simulate a person's running gait in different shoes to select the best-performing option, focusing on minimizing expended energy

While currently focused on pushing the boundaries of sneaker design, the technology also opens up possibilities for 3D printed shoes with a wider range of properties.
