    Engineers have been teaching humanoid robots to dance and direct traffic — to help make them seem less scary.
    The bots are also being trained to give a high-five, wave and hug.
    Engineers at the USA’s University of California San Diego said it gives the machines enhanced expressiveness and agility.
    And that paves the way for improving human-robot interactions in settings such as factory assembly lines, hospitals and homes, where robots could safely operate alongside humans or even replace them in hazardous environments like laboratories or disaster sites.
    The robot was trained on a diverse array of human body motions, enabling it to generalise new motions and mimic them with ease.
    A spokesperson said: “Much like a quick-learning dance student, the robot can swiftly learn new routines and gestures.”
    To train their robot, the team used an extensive collection of motion capture data and dance videos.
    Their technique involved training the upper and lower body separately.

    OPS: This robot has learned to shalke hands when meeting people

    A plastic embedded with bacteria that eats it when it’s no longer needed , has been developed by researchers.

    To keep the micro bugs from eating it while it's in use, the bacteria is mixed in as inactive spores.

    They only start digesting the plastic once it's released into the environment.

    To get this to work, the researchers had to evolve a bacterial strain that could tolerate the manufacturing process.

    They discovered the evolved bacteria made the plastic even stronger.

    Plastics are formed of polymers, long chains of identical molecules linked together by chemical bonds.

    While they can be broken down chemically, the process is often energy-intensive and doesn't leave useful chemicals behind.

    One alternative is to get bacteria to do it as some have an enzyme that breaks the chemical bonds they can use as an energy source.

    A number of plastic-eating bacterial strains have been discovered recently but they need to find the plastic in the environment.

    The researchers from the Department of NanoEngineering, University of California San Diego, decided to put the bacteria in TPU plastic which is one of the most common found in everyday things.

    OPS:A strip of TPU containing the bacteria spores on soil (left) and after five months (right) almost completely degraded
