China's humanoid robots generate more soccer excitement than their human counterparts
While China 's men's soccer team hasn't generated much excitement in recent years, humanoid robot teams have won over fans in Beijing based more on the AI technology involved than any athletic prowess shown. Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in fully autonomous 3-on-3 soccer matches powered entirely by artificial intelligence on Saturday night in China's capital in what was touted as a first in China and a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in Beijing. According to the organizers, a key aspect of the match was that all the participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies without any human intervention or supervision. Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field with agility They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling. However, during the match several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff, adding to the realism of the experience. China is stepping up efforts to develop AI-powered humanoid robots, using sports competitions like marathons, boxing, and football as a real-world proving ground. Cheng Hao, founder and CEO of Booster Robotics, the company that supplied the robot players, said sports competitions offer the ideal testing ground for humanoid robots, helping to accelerate the development of both algorithms and integrated hardware-software systems. He also emphasized safety as a core concern in the application of humanoid robots. 'In the future, we may arrange for robots to play football with humans. That means we must ensure the robots are completely safe,' Cheng said. 'For example, a robot and a human could play a match where winning doesn't matter, but real offensive and defensive interactions take place. That would help audiences build trust and understand that robots are safe.' Booster Robotics provided the hardware for all four university teams, while each school's research team developed and embedded their own algorithms for perception, decision-making, player formations, and passing strategies—including variables such as speed, force, and direction, according to Cheng. In the final match, Tsinghua University's THU Robotics defeated the China Agricultural University's Mountain Sea team with a score of 5–3 to win the championship. Mr. Wu, a supporter of Tsinghua, celebrated their victory while also praising the competition. 'They (THU) did really well,' he said. 'But the Mountain Sea team (of Agricultural University) was also impressive. They brought a lot of surprises.' China's men have made only one World Cup appearance and have already been knocked out of next years' competition in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Parents warned to limit their children's screen time, as research finds youngsters glued to smartphones and tablets have smaller brains and lower IQs
Parents are being warned to limit children's screen time after a study found it could lead to them having smaller brains and lower intelligence. Scientists found children who watched television and used smartphones, tablets and computers had, on average, lower IQs and less intracranial volume (ICV) – a marker for brain size. In contrast, children who exercised in their spare time were likely to be more intelligent and had a larger brain volume, according to the research. The study used databases from across Europe that contained information from thousands of children on IQ, screen use and physical exercise. This was analysed to establish whether there was any link between leisure time habits, intelligence and ICV – the total space within the skull which is used as a proxy for the maximum size of the brain. Larger ICV has been linked to superior intelligence. The researchers, based in China, say their results provide further evidence that excessive screen time has a lifelong impact on children's brain development. 'These findings highlight the critical need to manage and regulate children's media use while also promoting increased physical activity,' they wrote in the journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. The study comes as children's screen time use has rocketed in recent years. The average amount of time British children aged five to 15 spend on screens rose from nine hours a week in 2009 to 15 hours a week in 2018, according to a House of Commons education committee report from last year. While there can be benefits, including building friendships and improving learning, negative effects include online bullying, exposure to violence and pornography, lower levels of physical activity and eye strain. Sir Cary Cooper, a psychology professor at the University of Manchester, said: 'Children are using these devices and they are not learning social and non-verbal skills that we pick up from interacting, face-to-face, with other people.'

Mercedes-AMG Rivals Should Fear the Specs of the Radical Concept GT XX
The EV four-door race has begun The competition in the world of high-performance electric sedans is heating up, and two of its hottest competitors cannot be any more different from each other. In the blue corner is the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. When it debuted, the Porsche's hardcore 1,093 horsepower super electric sedan achieved a record-setting lap time around the Nürburgring. However, in the red corner is the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, the first high-performance vehicle from an emerging Chinese consumer electronics giant-turned EV powerhouse. Despite being a fraction of the Porsche's price, Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra managed to pack more power and beat not only the Porsche on the Nordschleife, but also vehicles costing upwards of seven figures. Now, Mercedes-AMG has an answer to both. In the past, it shoehorned lots of horsepower under the hood of luxurious Mercedes-branded vehicles, but recently, it turned a heel toward electrification. The culmination of this is showcased in what it calls the Concept AMG GT XX. The EV from Affalterbach In an announcement on June 25, Mercedes-AMG virtually unveiled its latest creation, a fastback-styled high-performance electric sedan called the Concept AMG GT XX. According to the boffins at Affalterbach, the concept is meant to preview the first vehicle built on its dedicated, AMG-specific AMG Electric Architecture ( ) EV platform. Underneath its skin, the GT XX's advanced electric platform features an 800-volt architecture capable of high performance even while charging. AMG says that the GT XX is powered by a bespoke NCMA battery pack that uses Formula 1 technology and features direct-cooled cylindrical battery cells for better heat management. Additionally, it can be charged up to add nearly 250 miles (400 km) of range in about five minutes at 850 kW.

Power goes to all four wheels through two electric drive units (EDUs), which together contain three axial-flux electric motors: two located at the rear and one at the front. All together, the trio of motors makes for a top speed of 223 miles per hour and a combined 1,340 horsepower, which is about 247 more than the Porsche's output of 1,093 horsepower, but still short of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra's 1,548 horsepower. AMG says that these oil-cooled electric motors are efficiently integrated within the EDUs, and each is equipped with its own planetary gearset and water-cooled inverter. Mercedes describes these EDUs working together as an all-wheel-drive system featuring torque vectoring and full-on disengagement that operates in accordance with driving conditions. The rear motors serve as the car's primary power source, while the front EDU disengages during coasting and low-speed cruising to optimize efficiency. A unique, but aerodynamic face From the pictures, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is a striking sports car design that combines a few unique design languages to turn heads with its fastback shape, low hood, and sleek windshield, all highlighted by a vibrant sunset beam orange finish. From the front, the GT XX features a flat and wide profile signature and distinctive Mercedes design cues like its oversized grille with an integrated Mercedes star, as well as motorsport-inspired details, like air outlets in the hood to optimize airflow and a prominent front splitter that enhances aerodynamics. The side profile looks eerily similar to Xiaomi's SU7 from certain angles, and the rear is defined by a triple set of circular taillamps, a wide carbon diffuser, and an active airbrake. Source: Mercedes-Benz The Concept AMG GT XX even has speakers in its headlights, which pump out ambient driving sounds to keep pedestrians aware of its presence and enhance the driving experience. Despite its funny looks, AMG says that the GT XX is very aerodynamic. It claims a drag coefficient of 0.198, which makes it more aerodynamic than the limited edition AMG ONE and Tesla Model S, and is close to other contemporary EVs like the Xiaomi SU7 and the Lucid Air. AMG claims that the secret to the magic number is aerodynamic retractable wheel covers. These covers consist of five carbon-fiber panels that form a star shape and move outward and retract electrically as needed for brake cooling or optimal airflow. Inside, the AMG GT XX features carbon fiber bucket seats with racing harnesses and custom cushioning that can be made from a customer's body scan for optimum bolstering. To keep with the theme of efficiency, the textiles used in the interior are made with worn GT3 race tires, while hints of orange add a pop of color to the otherwise dark cabin. Like with most EVs, a large dual-tablet display is the centrepiece in front of the driver, and an F1-style yoke steering wheel with twistable selectors and paddle shifters adds more racing flair. Final thoughts Mercedes-AMG has not released any details on when a production version of the AMG GT XX will be released, but it is expected that many of the details will be incorporated into the final version for series production. In its statement about the car, Mercedes-AMG CEO Michael Schiebe defended that the car 'is a true AMG with every fiber of its being,' adding that 'the heart of an AMG was always the motor, and that will remain so with our in-house electric architecture.' Though it may be a tough sell to AMG loyalists, the Concept GT XX shows that Affalterbach is primed and ready to play ball in any game it can get in on, even if it includes electrons.
