Augmenting cobots for sheet-metal SMEs with 3D object recognition and localisation
Due to high-mix-low-volume production, sheet-metal workshops today are challenged by small series and varying orders. As standard automation solutions tend to fall short, SMEs resort to repetitive manual labour impacting production costs and leading to tech-skilled workforces not being used to their full potential. The COOCK+ ROBUST project aims to transform cobots into mobile and reconfigurable production assistants by integrating existing technologies, including 3D object recognition and loca…

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Meroplankton is a grouping of "temporary zooplankton" that only spend a portion of their life cycle there. One example is the nauplius larvae of barnacles. Though they don't look like it, barnacles are crustaceans, so they have nauplius stage for dispersal. They have very distinctive "horns" and are extremely common in plankton samples, wh…

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see this is a black and white dramatic close-up shot that appears to be from a television production, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the visual style and production quality. The lighting creates strong shadows and contrast, giving the scene a moody, intense atmosphere typical of dramatic moments in science fiction television of that era. The composition focuses tightly on the subject, suggesting this may be capturing an import…

$p$-orbital self-organization of ultracold atoms coupled to optical cavities
Atoms coupled to optical cavities provide a novel platform for understanding high-orbital exotic phenomena in strongly correlated materials. In this study, we investigate strongly correlated ultracold bosonic gases that are coupled to two orthogonally arranged optical cavities and driven by a blue-detuned running-wave laser field. Our results demonstrate that atoms initially in the $s$-orbital state can be scattered into $p_x$- and $p_y$-orbital states in either a symmetric or asymmetric manner…
