A robot played cello in a curated concert for the Malmö Symphony Orchestra in southern Sweden.
Robotics is driving innovations across various sectors nowadays. This time, a new robot has entered the music arena to transform it. In a recent video, the robot was spotted playing the cello.
The industrial robotic arms with 3D-printed parts performed with the members of the orchestra in Sweden.
Developed by researcher and composer Fredrik Gran, the robot didn’t rely on AI tools to play cello. Instead, it was programmed using composer Jacob Muhlrad’s musical score, which was specially written for the robot.
A research team led by Professor Bonghoon Kim from DGIST’s Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has developed a “3D smart energy device” that features both reversible heating and cooling capabilities. Their device was recognized for its excellence and practicality through its selection as the cover article of the international journal Advanced Materials.
The team collaborated with Professor Bongjae Lee from KAIST’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Heon Lee from Korea University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Heating and cooling account for approximately 50% of the global energy consumption, contributing significantly to environmental problems such as global warming and air pollution. In response, solar absorption and radiative cooling devices, which harness the sun and outdoor air as heat and cold sources, are gaining attention as eco-friendly and sustainable solutions.

DGIST Professor Youngu Lee and Jeonbuk National University Professor Jaehyuk Lim successfully developed an ultra-sensitive, transparent, and flexible electronic skin mimicking the neural network in the human brain. — Applicable across different areas, including healthcare wearable devices and transparent display touch panels.
Vice President of Generative Artificial Intelligence at Adobe Alexandra Kostin in an interview The Verge said that creators will not be able to succeed in the new world if they do not use artificial intelligence.

Adobe itself is no longer even planning to launch products for artists without AI, despite criticism from people who like to do things manually or oppose the way artificial intelligence is changing the creative industry.
Suspended in the relic of an ancient sea beneath southern Arkansas, there may be enough lithium for nine times the expected global demand for the element in car batteries in 2030.
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.
A collaborative national and state government research team trained a machine learning model to predict and map the lithium concentrations of salty water deep within the porous limestone aquifer beneath southern Arkansas, known as the Smackover Formation brines.

Disney is uniquely poised to integrate AI into its operations, as one of the most diversified and data-intensive entertainment companies on earth, producing countless models and collecting tons of data about everything from the way that guests of its theme parks spend their money (and time) to what you’re watching on Disney+, the company’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform.
An imminent announcement of an AI partnership will surely produce blowback from the creative community, especially if the initiative will mean cuts to creative departments that are already feeling the pinch. The company eliminated more than 4,000 staff members (“cast members” in Disney-speak) in the spring of 2023 and increased its target to 8,000. (It ended up with about 7,000 layoffs by the end of the year.) The last round of layoffs happened in September and impacted roughly 300 people.
While AI is commonly utilized in Disney productions – everything from calculating the way that Ember’s fire moved in “Elemental” to creating a more lifelike young Luke Skywalker in “The Mandalorian” – a concerted effort from Disney to use the technology in all aspects of production is significant shift.
