"In our earlier work, we demonstrated that our soft robot was able to twist and turn its way through a very simple obstacle course," says Jie Yin, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University.

The 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games will serve as a way for national sports associations (NSAs) to justify future budget requests from the government. Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chair Richard Bachmann said on Tuesday that with the number of NSAs ballooning to 70, the government's lead agency for sports will adopt a matrix to determine the percentage of distribution of financial assistance. 'How do you allocate the budget for all these sports? During 2018 and 2019, we only had 40 NSAs. Right now we have 70 and the budget is basically the same,'' said Bachmann during the Philippine Sportswriters Association forum at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

LOS ANGELES — Negotiators for Hollywood writers and film and television studios engaged in 11th-hour contract talks on Monday to try and avert a strike that would disrupt TV production across an industry grappling with seismic changes. The Writers Guild of America could call a work stoppage as early as Tuesday if it cannot reach a deal with companies such as Walt Disney Co and Netflix Inc. A strike would be the first by the WGA in 15 years. Writers say they have suffered financially during the streaming TV boom, in part due to shorter seasons and smaller residual payments.
