Robot wolf to scare away bears

Yuji Ota, president of precision machining company Ohta Seiki, shows off in Naie in Hokkaido, northern Japan, on Nov. 13, 2025, the Monster Wolf robot, which emits LED light and loud sounds to scare off wild animals when its infrared sensor activates. The company, based in the Hokkaido town, developed the tool amid a spate of bear attacks on humans, some fatal, across Japan this year.

Settlement Growth in the Nile Delta - Egypt

Handout Photomontage shows Settlement Growth in the Nile Delta. The United Nations’ World Urbanisation Prospects 2025 was published on 17 November 2025. Drawing on data from the Joint Research Centre’s Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL), developed under the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), the report tracks changes in population distribution across more than 12,000 urban settlements. It highlights a global shift in settlement patterns, with the majority of the world’s population now living in urban areas. This image, created with GHSL data, focuses on the Nile Delta in Egypt, one of the world’s most densely populated regions. By comparing estimates of built-up surface at three points in time, it shows how the extent of urban development has changed between 1975 and 2025, along with projections for 2075. Using satellite data and national census inputs, GHSL provides a broad range of data on human settlements worldwide, including estimates of built-up surfaces per square kilometre and, at even

Construction of World's Longest Undersea Railway Tunnel - China

Technicians mark the 2,500th segment ring in the Jintang undersea tunnel of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway, as the tunnel boring machine exceeds a tunneling mileage of 5,000 meters in Zhoushan, east China's Zhejiang Province, Nov. 28, 2025. China's self-developed tunnel boring machine "Dinghai" exceeded a tunneling mileage of 5,000 meters on Friday at the Jintang undersea tunnel between cities of Ningbo and Zhoushan in east China's Zhejiang Province. The milestone marks the completion of over 80 percent of the tunneling workload in Zhoushan section of Jintang undersea tunnel. The tunnel, stretching 16.18 km, is an crucial part for the Yongzhou (Ningbo-Zhoushan) high-speed railway, and is set to be the world's longest undersea railway tunnel upon completion.

Robot Chemist - China

Robot Xiaolai performs an experiment at the state key laboratory of precision and intelligent chemistry of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, November 24, 2025. Traditional chemical research has long relied on continuous trial and error by scientists. With the development of artificial intelligence and robotic automation technologies, it has become possible to design experiments and issue instructions through intelligent platforms, using robots to replace human labor in experiential operations, which enhances experimental efficiency and precision. In 2021, after eight years of dedicated effort by a research team from USTC, Xiaolai, the first-generation "robot chemist," was successfully developed. After several years of iterations, the second-generation dual-armed humanoid robot Xiaolin has been put into operation, capable of performing more complex tasks. It has evolved from a substitute of human labor to a "research partner." According to Zhu Zhuoy
