Centaur-style wearable robot cuts walking fatigue by 35%

Chinese researchers developed a centaur-style wearable that adds two legs behind the user via an elastic back interface, sharing load and lowering metabolic energy use by about 35% (with ~52% less foot pressure) when carrying ~20 kg, allowing longer, natural walking; designed to coordinate with movement and balance, it could aid heavy tasks in logistics, disaster response, and industry, and was described in The International Journal of Robotics Research.

Robot Servers Take Over Glenwood Springs Restaurant

A Colorado restaurant owner has introduced three cat robots as waiters to save money and enhance customer service. Each robot can serve up to four tables and returns to the kitchen after completing orders. The robots cost $25,000 each, less than the annual wages of one employee, resulting in significant savings. While human servers are still necessary for tasks like explaining spice levels, the robots have attracted more customers and generated excitement, particularly among children. The owner appreciates that the robots don't argue or get tired.
