China has developed the world's first intelligent robotic whale shark
China Shenyang Aerospace Xinguang Group, part of the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, has unveiled the world's first intelligent robotic whale shark. This bionic fish, which is 5 meters long and weighs 350 kg, can swim at a speed of 2.41 km/h, reproducing the movements of a real whale shark.
The robot is equipped with 7 actuated joints, requiring complex calculations and sensors to control the movements. The shark has many advanced features, including a wireless remote control and the ability to program a swimming route. It can dive to depths of up to 20 meters and perform water quality monitoring and underwater terrain mapping tasks thanks to advanced optical cameras and positioning systems.
According to designer Gao Chao, it is the largest bionic creature created to date. After the successful launch of the project, the company plans to expand its range of bionic ii-robots, including guinea pigs and dolphins for marine operations and scientific research.

Researchers have developed flexible, soft robotic actuators
Northwestern University engineers have created a new soft and flexible device that allows robots to move by expanding and contracting, similar to how human muscles work. To showcase their new actuator, the researchers used it to create two different types of robots: a cylindrical, worm-like soft robot and an artificial bicep.
In experiments, the cylindrical robot was able to navigate through tigh

Dojo, a custom-built supercomputer by Tesla
Tesla has created a powerful type of supercomputer called "Dojo". This project, which Tesla has been talking about for a couple of years, is currently actively developing and gaining huge computing power. It is expected to reach the top 5 most powerful computers in the world by the beginning of next year.
The Dojo project is a significant event for Tesla. Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer for autono
