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.

​​Sometimes water seems to defy the laws of physics, holding together despite the attempts of gravity or even the pressure of heavy objects to break it apart.

This is the power of surface tension, a property that makes the outer layer of a body of water (and some other liquids) act like a flexible membrane. Surface tension arises because water molecules bond loosely with one another. Due to the weak bonds between them, the molecules at the surface experience an inward pull from the molecules beneath them. Water will stick together until the forces pulling them apart overtake the strength of those weak bonds, and break the surface.
