Chinese scientists develop trajectory planning system for collision-free flight of drone swarms

STORY: Chinese scientists develop trajectory planning system for collision-free flight of drone swarms DATELINE: May 6, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:46 LOCATION: HANGZHOU, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the smart drones flying STORYLINE: Chinese scientists have developed a new flight path planning system that can help miniature, fully autonomous drone swarms fly smartly through crowded forests, without collisions. The planning system enabled 10 aerial robots to collectively maneuver unhindered through a cluttered bamboo forest and find the most efficient flight path, according to the study published Thursday in the journal Science Robotics. Inspired by how flocks of birds can flexibly coordinate their collective flight paths, the researchers from Zhejiang University designed a trajectory planning method that processes data from onboard sensors and incorporates collision avoidance, flight efficiency, and swarm coordination to optimize swarm flying within a few milliseconds. The fleet o

    Chinese scientists achieve de novo artificial synthesis of hexoses from CO2

    STORY: Chinese scientists achieve de novo artificial synthesis of hexoses from CO2 DATELINE: Aug. 17, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:07 LOCATION: TIANJIN, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of Chinese Academy of Sciences and scientists 2. various of industrial projects STORYLINE: Chinese scientists have developed an artificial method of synthesizing hexoses from carbon dioxide (CO2) in a laboratory environment -- a key step in the global development of synthetic sugar. The study that resulted in this new method was conducted by the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, both of which are under the umbrella of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results were published on the website of the journal Science Bulletin on Wednesday. The team said that developing artificial "CO2-sugar" platforms is meaningful to addressing challenges that land scarcity and climate change pose to the supply of dietary sugar. "We present a versatile chemoenzyma

      Chinese-developed bionic eye offers potential in robotics

      STORY: Chinese-developed bionic eye offers potential in robotics DATELINE: May 19, 2023 LENGTH: 00:00:48 LOCATION: SHANGHAI, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the bionic eyes STORYLINE: Chinese scientists from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a kind of bionic eye that mimics human eyes in shape and function. The bionic eyes can realize smooth pursuit and eye-head coordination, but also process visual information like human. The technology has been adopted in fields like integrated circuit manufacturing and rail network monitoring. In the future, the bionic eyes could become a standard module for humanoid robots.
