Engineers at UCLA’s Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) have developed a tape measure robot that uses an innovative design to quickly scale obstacles. Called EEWOC (Extended-reach Enhanced Wheeled Orb for Climbing), it comes equipped with a EEMMMa (Elastic Extending Mechanism for Mobility and Manipulation) limb attached to a motorized spool.
Scientists recently observed two lifeforms merging in a rare primary endosymbiosis event. More specifically, the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle merged with a eukaryotic cell, the fourth example in history of primary endosymbiosis.
Former NASA engineer turned YouTuber Mark Rober teamed up with a few of his friends to see who could come up with an ingenious method for shooting a drone out of the sky.
