JAXA's fairing separation and release test for the H3 rocket

On April 17, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducted a separation and release test of the fairing (the tip of the rocket) for the new H3 core rocket at Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Harima Works in Harima, Hyogo Prefecture (photo). The fairing is a container that protects the satellite from wind pressure and frictional heat from the air while the rocket flies in the atmosphere. The internal capacity of the satellite is 2.3 times larger than that of the "H2A" 4S model. Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) layers were used for the perimeter panels, and the number of panels assembled was reduced by enlarging each panel to keep costs down.

A twin-armed robot by Professor Tetsuya Ogata and his colleagues at Waseda University

Professor Tetsuya Ogata and his teamat Waseda University have developed a technology that allows a deep learning model to learn and perform multiple actions. They demonstrated the function by applying it to a twin-armed robot folding towels.In the case of folding towels, four motions were learned, including folding the towel from the edge and repositioning the towel. We trained the deep learning model so that the internal state of the model is the same at the beginning and end of each action. For each of the four actions, we used a large deep learning model with about 300 cells and 400 steps. In this study, we learned multiple actions by connecting them to a single model. In the future, we will apply the model to complex operations such as skewering to verify the learning method suitable for each operation. The technology for using deep learning to identify images is already in the practical stage. Photo taken on October 16, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
