Hello, kitty: Cats recognize their own names, according to new Japanese research

Pet cats can recognize their own names if their names are used regularly by their owners, according to new results. Projects to understand simple social behaviors like name recognition in cats may give clues to how we humans became social. Both humans and cats have evolved through the process of self-domestication, where the population rewards certain traits that then become increasingly common in future generations. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190408101120.htm

Laying the ground for robotic strategies in environmental protection

Roboticists have developed a robot named 'Romu' that can autonomously drive interlocking steel sheet piles into soil. The structures that it builds could function as retaining walls or check dams for erosion control, and, according to computer simulations, the robot could be deployed in swarms to help protect threatened areas that are flooded or extremely arid more effectively. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190408091256.htm
