Human Brain vs Dolphin Brain 🧠

Dolphin brains are four to five times larger than what is expected for their body size when compared to other animals of similar size. Scientist believe dolphins should be granted rights as individuals as they are "non-human persons" given their complex behavior patterns. Research confirmed that dolphins come together to solve difficult problems, and even use tactics to round up fish to eat. They can even teach other new behaviors.

Whale and dolphin brains contain specialized brain cells called spindle neurons. These are associated with advanced abilities such as recognising, remembering, reasoning, communicating, perceiving, adapting to change, problem-solving and understanding. So it seems they are deep thinkers! Not only that, but the part of their brain which processes emotions (limbic system) appears to be more complex than our own.

Automated bots build IKEA furniture

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) have created a robot capable of assembling IKEA furniture twice as fast as a human.

The bot consists of two manipulators with force sensors and 3D cameras. It assembles a simple chair in 20 minutes, whereas a person could spend up to 45 minutes on the same task.

The bot takes a lot of time to p from the kit.
