China has developed a bionic robot that runs faster than a cockroach
A team of scientists from the laboratory of Beihang University in Beijing has created a unique bionic robot measuring only 2 centimeters in size and weighing less than 2 grams. It has high maneuverability and is faster than cockroaches.
The new micro-robot has been named BHMbot. It is able to overcome obstacles and move backwards. During testing, the development demonstrated the ability to penetrate narrow spaces and collect data using built-in sensors. The robot is able to detect SOS signals from a Bluetooth speaker buried in building blocks and transmit them to a computer, as well as pick up hard-to-reach signals. In the future, the BHMbot will be able to take pictures of the inside of aircraft engines thanks to millimeter-scale micro cameras.
According to the authors of the project, such robots can be useful in search and rescue operations and inspection of complex structures

Ensuring Safety in Robot-Human Interactions
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have developed the Safe Protective and Assistive Robot Kit (SPARK), a modular toolbox to enhance safety in humanoid robots. Humanoids are versatile but can pose risks due to their complex physical structures and capabilities.
SPARK integrates advanced safety algorithms, allowing users to customize safety settings and balance performance with protection. Compatible w
