i think we should all start making fandom websites and forums again, then replace things like tumblr and twitter bc tbh i wish i could just find like 40 different forums and websites about the thing i like and see them all personalized and people interacting with others on there, like i'd even donate money dude idc esp if a website was made by a fan for a fan. I'd rather be online on those kinds of websites than on tumblr where im telling ppl to not give money to tumblr cuz they are a shitty company who doesn't even care ab its userbase

Shuffling Robot Uses Biological Muscle to Move and Spin - Technology Org

Shuffling Robot Uses Biological Muscle to Move and Spin - Technology Org

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater.

Typical biohybrid robots can move in straight lines or perform large turns but struggle to carry out finer movements in smaller spaces. This makes them unsuitable for use in areas with many obstacles, such as in search and rescue operations.

The new robot can pivot on one foot, enabling it to turn within a small circle. At present, it can only work underwater as the lab-grown muscle dries out quickly when exposed to air, losing effectiveness. However, the researchers foresee that it would be possible to create future iterations which can walk on land, by using thicker muscles with their own nutrient supplies and possibly covering them in artificial skin.

If I ask you to imagine a robot made of living muscle on an artificial skeleton, the striding form of a part human, part machine cyborg may come to mind. But the truth is that we are still just taking baby steps when it comes to creating biohybrid, natural-artificial robots.

Building real-life biohybrid robots which can walk like a human, let alone stride or run like one, is a big challenge. Professor Shoji Takeuchi and his team from the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo have taken on this challenge in their latest research.

“By incorporating living tissues as part of a robot, we can make use of the superior functions of living organisms. In our latest research, we combined lab-grown skeletal muscle tissue with flexible artificial legs and 3D-printed feet. Using the muscle tissue to move the legs allowed us to create a small robot with efficient, silent movements and a soft touch,” explained Takeuchi.

The researchers began by growing skeletal muscle in molds to create strips. The muscle tissue loses its ability to move when it becomes too dry, so the robot was designed to be suspended in water. The team made a lightweight skeleton from a floating styrene board, a flexible silicone-based body, acrylic resin legs with brass wire weights, and 3D-printed feet. Two strips of muscle tissue were attached from the body to the feet of the robot, completing the legs.

Each leg was stimulated using hand-held gold electrodes to deliver a charge, similar to your brain sending electrical signals to your body to move. This caused the muscle tissue to contract and the robot to “walk” when the legs were stimulated one after the other.

By stimulating each leg at five-second intervals, they were able to move the robot at a speed of 5.4 millimeters per minute. Although it might not seem particularly fast, the speed of its leg movements was comparable to that of other biohybrid robots.

“Initially, we weren’t at all sure that achieving bipedal walking was possible, so it was truly surprising when we succeeded,” said Takeuchi.

“Our biohybrid robot managed to perform forward and turning movements with a bipedal walk by effectively balancing four key forces: the muscle contractile force, the restorative force of the flexible body, the gravity acting on the weight, and the buoyancy of the float.”

Explanation of walking movement. The top illustrations show the three phases of the robot’s movement: first, lifting the foot; second, the foot hangs suspended; and third, it lands. The graph below shows the distance traveled and time it took for each phase, the longest being the hanging phase. The combination of the three phases leads to one step.

The team is now considering how to create a smoother-moving robot that can walk on land by developing methods to stimulate the muscles remotely and creating thicker muscles with a nutrient supply to sustain them.

Takeuchi said: “We’re working on designing robots with joints and additional muscle tissues to enable more sophisticated walking capabilities. Our findings offer valuable insights for the advancement of soft flexible robots powered by muscle tissue and have the potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of biological locomotion mechanisms, further enabling us to mimic the intricacies of human walking in robots.”

Okay so a delightful thing I just realized. (By which I mean I’ve had a horrible thought)

Legend of the Galactic Heroes takes place on a timeline of year 796-801 Universal Calender. It represents a future depicted starting from about 2801 CE, what we use (a little less than 800 years from now.), after the establishment of a galaxy-spanning civilization.

Gundam, while for the most part considering itself a “real robot” series, still has to ask the audience to suspend disbelief about the practicality of the robots. The timeline most of it is set in is called the Universal Century, spanning a time period not explicitly tied to a CE date, but covers between one and a half to two centuries, depending on what a writer has decided counts at the moment, covering the early stages of space colonization within the solar system, with some thoughts of moving beyond, depending on the series.

A huge theme of Gundam is conflict over a philosophy that humankind should leave Earth, but remains extremely obsessed with the planet itself. LoGH has, among its factions, a cult of people who can’t get over their obsession with Earth.

The video game series Super Robot Wars, which Gundam is a staple in, especially the Universal Century timeline further asks the audience to suspend their disbelief in regards to the practicality of the robots.

The Super Robot Wars games like to “squash” continuity closer together to make room for more crossover potential. The writers tweak the numbers to fit in all the different science fiction they’re allowed to use for a given entry.

There exist some absolute *writing choices* if the IRL possibility to collaborate were to ever exist.

Yang would have an aneurysm finding himself in this crossover.

Thirty Minute Theatre: Not Counting the Savages (BBC, 1972)

"I didn't look round, of course, but when I went round to tidy the other side of the grave, I... became aware of a man standing up against the wire fence. At first I thought that he'd caught his handkerchief or something white on it, and then I realised what it was."

"What?"

"He was exposing himself. Exposing himself to me."

"Well, you've seen one before."

"But I was... I was terribly upset. You can't know how distressed I was! I still am."

"Why? You're an old woman. Why should you be upset? It was play-acting. You're an old woman."

Ask A Genius 986: Getting Fired From Jobs

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: I’ve only ever been fired from one job. I was 15 years old, working at a bistro owned by a family friend in my hometown. I remember being quite unpleasant at the time. One day, the dishwasher said they didn’t think it would work out. It reminded me of that Chris Rock joke about hating a job so much that he would sit on the toilet to make more time pass. I did the same…
