"Vecherka" continues the "I want to know everything" section. If you have a question that you cannot find an answer to in any way, send it to our email address [email protected]. The Vecherka experts will answer them.
Ivan Ryazansky, schoolboy:
- In theory, robots, for example, humanoid, can feel? Can they be warm, cold? Are they ticklish?
Kirill Vorobyov, programmer:
- In theory, of course. Moreover, just a few days ago, Chinese scientists completed the creation of an artificial sensitive "skin". This technology is based on magnetic sensors that transmit pressure to the "brain" of the robot.
For the sake of experiment, a conditional finger was covered with such skin. Experiments have shown that electronic skin is able to detect even the movements of ants on it and light winds. So if in the near future humanoid robots learn to freeze, then why not teach them to laugh from tickling?
Mikhail Afanasyev, manager:
- Recently I came across a plot on the Internet in which a jelly-like creature was shown thrown onto the beach. It seems to be in New Zealand. What was it?!
Alexander Onoshko, oceanologist:
- If we are talking about the same video, then this is a rare jellyfish - hairy cyanea, the largest of this species, its dome can reach two meters in diameter, and the tentacles can extend up to 20 meters. As a rule, it is found in the northern regions of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Despite its size, it is no more dangerous for humans than ordinary jellyfish.
