Tiny House With Erotic Frescoes Uncovered - Pompeii

Fresco with the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus uncovered by Archaeologists in a richly decorated small house with finely preserved erotic frescoes of mythological scenes in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy on October 2024. The vividly coloured wall paintings include one depicting a sexual encounter between a satyr and a nymph on a bed and another one of Phaedra, mythological queen, and her stepson Hippolytus. Phaedra, Cretan princess and wife of Theseus, fell in love with her stepson Hippolytus through the work of Aphrodite, who avenged the young man’s disdain for her. Hippolytus rejected Phaedra, and she, scorned, falsely accused him of trying to rape her. Another fresco features gods presumed to be Venus and Adonis. Experts say the exquisitely decorated abode, called the House of Phaedra after the mythological queen , sheds light on the changing architectural styles in the first century AD but is also further proof that the residents of Pompeii had an appetite for sensual art.

Double Giken's wire-suspended robot hand system

Double Giken (Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) has developed a wire-suspended robot hand system called the Flying Carry System (photo). By stretching and loosening four wire cables stretched in the air, the system can move as if it were flying. The position of the winches is controlled by finely adjusting the winding of the winches. The robot hand is capable of handling a wide range of shapes and materials of objects with its original technology and can hold them firmly. The robot hand has a wide range of applications, and President Wada says, "We would like to collaborate with companies in different fields to build a suitable system. Since it can be powered via wires, it can operate longer than flying robots (drones). The payload is about 20 kilograms.
