Soft robot for exploring the Mariana Trench

Chinese researchers managed to solve the problem of high pressure on the robot body at great depths.

They chose not to strengthen it, but instead made the construction from soft polymer and silicone. The bot's electronics is now distributed all over the robot's body, thus reducing the high load.

As a result, the robot performed well during tests in the Mariana Trench.

MeowEver Releases a Slightly Creepy Robotic Pillow in the Form of a Faceless Cat

MeowEver presented its latest creation — a faceless robot cat that can purr and simulate breathing.

So, how did they explain the lack of a face for the MeowEver pillow? According to the developers, it resembles an animal sleeping face down. This toy is "sleeping", which means that its functionality is that of a real sleeping cat. In other words, it can simulate breathing and light purring when the user strokes the robotic pillow on the back. And with the help of a vibration motor, it also “has” a pulse.
