When muscles are used, heat is generated as a by-product of their operation. When we really exert ourselves, the body cools down by sweating. Sweating removes water from the body, and when the water evaporates, it cools us down. By evaporating, sweat removes a lot of heat from the body and thus participates in the regulation of body temperature. Robots, especially dynamic ones like the humanoid Kengoro, also generate a lot of heat due to their many motors and electronics, which is often the main problem of technological devices, as they tend to overheat, which reduces their capabilities. At Kengoro, the engineers have solved this so that if the robot is working at full steam and producing a lot of heat, the robot will 'heat' and thus dissipate the excess heat and consequently not overheat, so it can also do push-ups and do them as a joke more than you!

When we like robots that help us with many daily tasks and take on more and more tasks - which is otherwise great, because they make our work easier and save time - we fail to recognize that there is an "evil" plan behind this benevolence. So don't be surprised if one day you wake up and find a robot at your workplace. Check the probability that your job will be taken over by a robot in the future.
Basement Jaxx duo's new music video continues a string of oddities in their repertoire, as it follows the scientific process of creating a robot that, in the final stage, closely imitates twerking, the sexually seductive dance that Miley Cyrus launched into the stratosphere. Hmmm, maybe it's time for the British duo to spin their own "Where's your head at?"
From October 10 to 12, the symposium of the international festival of art, technology and science Speculum Artium will be held in Trbovlje, where every year projects representing the intersection between art and science are presented.
