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

IsdaT In Danger - Mobilization of staff and students In Toulouse

Tube led, 404 (error 404), in the "Machina" mechatronics workshop in danger, the manager retires, no one to replace him. First day of a renewable strike by staff, agents, teachers and technicians at ISDAT,Toulouse Institute of Art and Design, until June 30, 2023. Following the national mobilization of art schools in France from November to March 2023, the situation at ISDAT Toulouse is critical, with a deficit of over five hundred thousand euros in 2023. There's no blockage, but the wood workshop (where frames and pedestals are made) is closed due to the end of a teacher's contract that has not been renewed, retirements that have not been replaced... A school without a Director and without a contact person. A student is sounding the alarm: many projects and residences are falling through. Toulouse City Council has launched an audit.
