A key distinction between robots and humans is that they aren't restricted by anatomy or biology, allowing robotics experts to place cameras and sensors nearly anywhere—even on a robot's foot. Researchers have been exploring the use of foot cameras to help robots more effectively navigate their environment and complete a wider variety of useful, human-like tasks.

Submarine communications cables are an essential backbone of the modern Internet with over 600 active and planned cables. The first submarine cables were laid in the 1850s, marking a major milestone in the history of global connectivity through the enablement of efficient telegraph communication between continents. Today, these cables carry digital data across the globe via an intricate fiber optic network, totaling nearly 1.4 million kilometers.

Mixing fluids and electronics rarely produces positive outcomes. However, this could change quickly as experts from around the globe test specialized fluids to keep computers cool in large data centers. Cooling systems are an essential system in any data center, yet they consume massive volumes of power or water. Technologists see great promise in submerging computers in synthetic, non-conductive oils that effectively cool these crucial systems, while potentially cutting energy consumption in half.

Medical advancements are leading to longer lifespans, with the number of people aged 60 and older predicted to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. An aging population has a unique set of needs including specialized home care attendants and caregivers. However, there is already an increasing need for qualified professionals. Could robotics be a safe, compassionate and dignified option to fill this care gap? Read about the latest developments from IEEE Standards Association | IEEE SA: https://bit.ly/4cmMn6R

The UPC barcode recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking a major milestone in global commerce. The first-ever UPC-marked item to be scanned was a pack of chewing gum at a grocery store on 26 June 1974, ringing up at 67 cents. Over the next 50 years, these iconic zebra-striped barcodes spread well beyond the checkout counter, becoming an often unnoticed fixture in commercial settings. However, their impacts on retail, commerce, supply chain management and beyond have played an essential role in helping businesses operate more efficiently at a global scale.
