Whatever you do, Boston Dyanmics' bipedal robot Atlas can probably do it too, if not better. This is probably what the company was trying to prove when it released a video of the robot pulling off some impressive parkour moves. From jumps, flips, and vaults, the team behind the robot has managed to get the robots to perform some even complicated moves in the one-minute video. The video features two robots, the first of which runs on a plywood panel, before jumping over an island and then running up and down a flight of…

Boston Dynamics and IBM have joined forces to deploy the popular — but controversial — robot dogs at the US National Grid sites for autonomous inspection. The Boston Dynamics robot, named Spot, will be integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) and other required features developed by IBM Research. The new robot will be initially deployed at the electric and gas utility sites in Massachusetts and New York for regular inspections. AI-enabled robots are increasingly being deployed in manufacturing and warehouse settings …

Life is supposed to be fun, and what could be more fun than a transforming USB thumb drive in the shape of Ravage from the 1980s Transformers TV show? I can't think of much and I certainly couldn't stop myself from pressing the checkout button on my Amazon cart in a moment of nostalgic weakness. Is it daft? Yes, very much so. Is it fun? Also yes. It's also only $10 at Amazon, making it a pay-and-forget purchase if you ask me. Prime Day is coming to an end soon, so make sure you get those last-minute novelty purchases…

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powellsaid the pandemic had disrupted the economy in ways that might fuel more inflation or volatility in price pressures that could complicate how central banks manage economic growth.“The economy is being driven by very different forces. What we don’t know is whether we’ll be going back to something that looks like, or a little bit like, what we had before,” he said during a moderated discussion Wednesday at the European Central Bank’s annual economic policy conference in Portugal.…

An international group of astronomers has revived an alternative gravity theory, known as Milgromian Dynamics or MOND. A majority of astronomers agree that there's something out there, called a 'dark matter', which causes spiral galaxies to rotate faster than they should. If we follow the rules of physics, galaxies rotate so quickly that they should fly apart. MOND, a controversial alternative to Albert Einstein's General Relativity that requires dark matter to hold galaxies together, does not require dark matter. As the…
