The innovation, known as Robot Metabolism, allows machines to physically to transform, thus creating possibilities for autonomous robotics. The process is called “Robot Metabolism.” Truss Links are modular bars enabling self-assembly and adaptation. Robots improved speed by 66.5% by adding new parts. “True autonomy means robots must not only think for themselves but also physically sustain themselves,” Philippe Martin Wyder, lead author of the study, said in the study announcement....

First published: Aug 11, 2020 Updated 2 times since publishing I found that G Data is a highly capable antivirus, with many useful features, a straightforward interface, and decent customer support. It’s good value for money if you only need to protect 1 device. Unfortunately, if your needs extend beyond a single device, G Data is overpriced compared to many top-tier brands like Norton 360 and McAfee.

I tested both antivirus programs across 15 different areas. From my tests, I discovered that while both antiviruses have consistently maintained high-security standards, McAfee is the top choice, outperforming Kaspersky in most categories. Although it didn’t influence my review, it’s important to note that authorities like the FCC have warned against using Kaspersky due to concerns about its ties to Russia. McAfee, on the other hand, has continued to stay reputable over the years, providing strong security features....
