Asia
News Network (The Yomiuri Shimbun), Sci-Tech. Japanese researchers have
developed a robotic system that can convey the sense of touch-including
temperature, hardness and texture-from a robot to human hand. The system was
developed by Susumu Tachi, a special professor at Keiko University, and his
development staff.
The
user wears a helmet with a monitor display, a vest and gloves that can
receive the sense of touch’ of fabric and objects grasped by the robot. The
vest transmits information about the wearer’s position and posture, while the
gloves recreate the senseof touch and temperature of the object.
When
the user tries to touch an item displayed on the monitor, the robot grasps
the real item and transmits data about its temperature and hardness.
As
the robot has a number of sensors on its fingertips, the user can even feel
the vibration of marbles in a glass container and detect differences in the
fee.

Lee
Chong Wei Wins First Title Since Doping Ban
Singapore. Former world number one Lee Chong Wei won
the US Open on Sunday to claim his first title since returning from an
eight-month doping ban.
The 32-year-old Malaysian, twice an Olympic silver
medallist and world championship runner-up, beat Hans-Kristian Vittinghus of
Denmark 22-20, 21-12 in Brentwood, New York.
“I’m happy with my performance in the US Open even
though this is my [first] individual tournament after nine months. Thank you
fans and supporters, I love you all,” Lee posted on his Facebook page.
The Perak-born shuttler only returned to the court
last month after he tested positive for dexamethasone at the world
championships in August.
Facing a career-ending two-year ban, Lee argued
that he gained no benefit from a supplement he had taken inadvertently,
convincing the BWF to reduce his back-dated suspension to eight months.
His inactivity has led to his world ranking
tumbling to 180th, but his first title since winning the Japan Open a year ago
will give him hope of making an impression at the world championships in August
in Indonesia.

“We’ve set
aside two billion rupiahs for two nights, one room is allocated for two
guests,” Gus added.The accommodation also includes breakfast.

social media, Gus Agung mentioned, unsatisfied tourists are free to express

the Badung regency and GIPI Bali is very good. This is what we call a
