Happy Halloween from automatica! 🎃🤖 On this day of creative disguises, we’re excited to highlight two fascinating innovations in the world of masks – one that conceals and another that reveals. First, the QuDi Mask 2 – a robotic face covering that uses LEDs to display human emotions. This technology enhances communication in settings like healthcare and customer service without revealing the wearer’s face. Meanwhile, @TokyoUniversity researchers have developed a new technology that allows robots to wear living skin. By this means they are enabling lifelike expressions like smiling and wrinkling. This breakthrough brings robots closer to human-like appearance and movement. What’s your take on these very special masks? Let us know in the comments. 💬 #Robotics #QuDiMask2 #Innovation #Humanoid #HappyHalloween

🤖 Automation is driving the future of microchip manufacturing in the U.S.! With $280 billion from the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, the semiconductor industry is getting a major boost, including $39 billion for new factories and $11 billion for research in states like Arizona and Texas. As the demand for semiconductors soars, so do the challenges in water and energy! Did you know producing just one smartphone can require over 3,000 gallons (≈ 11,000 liters) of water? That’s where automation and smart water management come in, optimizing resources and driving sustainable, efficient production. Curious about how these innovations are shaping the industry?

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re exploring how AI can help facing psychological problems. As we see an increase in mental disorders, the waiting lists for treatment programs are getting longer. Here are three examples of how AI might help to overcome these issues: 🗯️Specialized AI chatbots can assist with the diagnosis and treatment suggestions for patients. 🗯️ AI increases access to mental health support and allows therapists to spend more quality time with their patients by automating operational processes. 🗯️ AI also aids children with autism to improve their social and communicative skills. While AI holds great promise, balancing technology with the human touch remains crucial! #AIForGood #AI #MentalHealth #automatica2025

Revolutionizing firefighter safety with new textile technology 🔥🚒. Fighting fires is one of the toughest jobs, with extreme heat and heavy gear pushing firefighters to their limits. But a new innovation developed by @Texport in collaboration with @Salzburg Research and the @University of Salzburg, is here to change that. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI, the jacket monitors sweat and humidity levels in real-time, detecting when heat stress is nearing a dangerous tipping point. The integrated cooling system activates automatically, what guarantees the firefighters' safety at all times.

Today, we’re celebrating #WorldSmileDay at automatica! 😃😁😆 As we celebrate, we're reminded of the incredible power of a simple smile. Robots that recognize and respond to smiles don't just come across friendlier – they foster deeper, more intuitive interactions. Did you know that over 90% of our communication is non-verbal? Robots that understand these cues can greatly improve interactions with humans and enhance overall collaboration. Whether it’s a visitor exploring the latest in AI, a cutting-edge robot learning to interact, smiles are everywhere at automatica! #WorldSmileDay #automatica2025 #InnovationWithASmile #AI #Automation
