NASA Aims to Deploy Humanoid Robots in Space

MarketJar

As technology progresses, the idea of humanoid robots in space becomes more feasible. NASA’s Valkyrie, a humanoid robot designed for damaged or degraded environments like natural disasters, is being tested at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. But one day, the group plans to extend the capabilities of such robots to space missions. According to engineers, with the right software, humanoid robots will eventually be able to function similarly to humans and use the same tools and equipment, allowing them to potentially handle risky tasks outside the spacecraft so astronauts can prioritize exploration and discovery. Shaun Azimi, NASA Dexterous Robotics Team Leader, clarifies that the goal is not to replace human crews but to relieve them of mundane, dangerous tasks. NASA is actively involved in designing humanoid robots called "Robonauts," with a history in space exploration, including Robonaut2 (R2) sent to the International Space Station in 2011. Collaborating with Apptronik, a Texas-based robotic company, NASA aims to transfer insights gained from space-oriented robots to benefit their terrestrial counterparts. Apptronik's creation, Apollo, initially designed for warehouses and factories, is adaptable to various applications. Jeff Cardenas, CEO of Apptronik, sees Apollo progressing from warehouses to retail and delivery, eventually into "unstructured spaces," which may include outer space. Amidst the fast evolution of technology, humanoid robots pushing the boundaries of space exploration are not the only innovative advancements on the horizon. Companies like advanced public safety technology provider Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP) are already deploying advanced autonomous robots into the workforce that help protect the places people live, work, study and visit. Knightscope focuses on leveraging cutting-edge technology, including robotics, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics, to enhance the efficiency of security operations. The company's innovative line of autonomous security robots serves a variety of industries, providing 24/7 monitoring and threat detection capabilities. Knightscope Secure U.S. Federal Government Approval On January 3, Knightscope announced that it has received its Authority to Operate (ATO) from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). FedRAMP is a government-wide initiative that offers a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Knightscope was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for its first application in the federal sector. This milestone signifies that Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP) is on track to be featured on the FedRAMP Marketplace as an approved provider for federal agencies, paving the way for the initiation of deployment processes to fulfill the contract awarded by the VA for its inaugural K5 ASR. “The multi-year effort to acquire the ATO showcases the relentless nature of the Knightscope team and significantly increases the TAM (Total Addressable Market) that the Company can serve,” said Knightscope Chairman and CEO, William Santana Li. “Now it is time to build on that momentum as we continue to execute our multi-phase Roadmap.” Following a string of positive news, including a significant uptick in Q3 2023 revenue, Ascendiant Capital Markets LLC released an updated research report on Knightscope, highlighting the company’s recent wins and its future potential. Ascendiant noted that "the company’s solid execution and sales wins drove strong [Q3] revenue growth” and expects that strong growth over the next year and AI assets will “drive the stock much higher.” On November 13, Knightscope announced its fiscal Q3 2023 results ending September, reporting a revenue of $3.3 million, marking a 156% year-over-year increase and surpassing the estimated $3.0 million.

Dr. Mark Williams Unveils His Upcoming Book Challenging The Influence of Faith In Politics

Prodigy Press Wire

Renowned Nashville-based board-certified otolaryngologist and author, Dr. Mark Williams, is set to release his thought-provoking book, Deceived: The Poisoned Fruit of Evangelicalism. In this upcoming book, Dr. Williams eloquently dives into the subtle yet profound influence of indoctrination on political leaders, arguing that it has gradually led to a departure from the teachings of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the danger of sacrificing values for political gain, a trend he observed within religious circles over the years. Dr. Williams asserts that the book aims not just to enlighten but to be a persuasive force for those on the fence about true Christianity and to correct the misrepresentation of Christ in today's political discourse. A solo practitioner, Dr. Williams also specializes in voice care for professional voice users, including singers, actors, and radio personalities. As a worship leader, an elder at his church, and a recording artist, he recognized the importance of using his voice and challenging societal norms to advocate against a compromise of Christian values, in favor of legislation gains. His dedication to being a voice for those uncomfortable articulating their beliefs is evident in his social media presence and the RoundTable Consult podcast, where he discusses medical, legal, political, and spiritual issues. Beyond his literary pursuits, Dr. Williams has an illustrious musical career and is poised to release a new song, “Forever & Always,” on February 14th. In 2016 he released an album entitled “When a Man Worships.” This inspired his book, titled the same, exploring the scriptural definition of worship as obedience and submission to the sovereignty of God. Dr. Williams believes true worship extends beyond song and raises a fundamental question about aligning our lives with God's will. He truly believes, “Every person has a unique voice print, and only their voice can produce the effects intended for them. Even the best impersonator cannot reproduce the exact characteristics of your voice. Your voice has a purpose in this world, and as long as you remain silent, the world misses what you have to offer.” Amid his exploration of political and religious themes, Dr. Williams manages to incorporate personal insights, drawing on his 30-year marriage and fatherhood journey. The author plans to share his 30-year-old marriage principles, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. While Deceived is set to release in the second quarter of 2024, it's more than just a culmination of Dr. Williams' recent endeavors. It's a reflection of a seasoned professional who, despite facing challenges in managing his otolaryngology practice, has diversified his services and is fulfilling what he finds is a divine mandate to confront misguided religious paradigms. “I hope that readers get the true message that Christ is unconditional love. And that despite what they've been taught before, our focus needs to be on sharing and expressing that type of love, demonstrating it. People will keep an eternal focus and not be distracted by the pursuit of a mortal objective,” expresses Dr. Williams. The upcoming book release is expected to significantly impact readers, challenging them to truly reconsider historical religious teachings and gain a deeper understanding of spiritual truths. It may be too late to sway those who have already committed to heretical pursuits, but this book will be used as a tool to prevent others from following the same path.

The Mind-Body-Spirit Problem: How Diet Culture and Societal Norms Prevent You From Resolving Unwanted Weight Gain

Prodigy Press Wire

For centuries, diet culture has pressured men and women worldwide to chase an impossible standard with ineffective methods. Magazines, television, and other forms of media have showcased the beauty of being thin and sold the masses thousands of elixirs to achieve this goal. Despite the variety of meal plans, gym memberships, and other resources available to help someone lose unwanted weight, the process hasn’t become any easier. Trending diets may help you lose a few pounds faster than another strategy, but it still feels like punishment. As a result, diets only provide temporary benefits before someone reverts to their old eating habits. The black-and-white thinking of diet culture further prevents someone from accomplishing their long-term goals. In the worst cases, individuals may develop poor body image and struggle with eating disorders because they implement extreme diets. Just like any other aspect of health, physical fitness is a journey that requires significant patience and commitment. It is also closely intertwined with mental health, which is why diets are designed to fail. Eating habits are long-term behaviors influenced by our upbringing and genetic profile. Diets rarely change these as they solely focus on what we’re putting into our bodies and not the reasons why. Nanette Jenkins, the Founder of Breakthrough M2 challenges this fragmented approach by taking inspiration from low-calorie diets that are paired with homeopathic supplements. The argument that health requires an aligned body, mind, and spirit is supported by ancient and modern medicine. A balanced diet has been shown to improve concentration and attention span. If someone consistently fails to eat a healthy sampling of necessary nutrients, they can suffer from fatigue and poor decision-making. Highly processed foods can also worsen mental health issues and cause exhaustion and internal inflammation. Those with mental health struggles are particularly vulnerable to having an imbalanced diet. This makes them likely to gain weight and fuels the cycle of emotional eating as a result. Nanette experienced this problem firsthand, which is why she founded Breakthrough M2 in 2012. Her fight to lose weight and feel comfortable in her skin began after an unexpected pregnancy. Carrying a baby, whether planned or not, is a heavy burden on a mother’s mental and physical health. For Nanette, food became an escape from a stressful reality. Things snowballed as she had another child, started college, and never got ahold of her emotional eating. Nanette reached a breaking point in 2011. She was a size 16 at just 39 years old. For over two decades leading up to this point, she tried and failed to lose weight. Each meal plan or gym membership she had might’ve worked for a while, but when life got busy, she reverted to her old habits. It wasn’t until she tried a radically new diet that Nanette found her long-lost solution. Nanette now understands why women–and even men–struggle so long with healthy eating. Expensive diets promise great results, but they never push you to examine your relationship with food. Nanette has witnessed through her own success story and that of thousands on her program, that women often put their health on the back burner. They prioritize the needs of their spouse, children, and careers. Their eating habits suffer as a result. Maybe they reach for unhealthy convenience food or they become emotional eaters that use food as a vice. Regardless, the mental aspects behind eating are critical to address in any diet. “Breakthrough M2 was born from my 22 years of failed dieting,” says Nanette Jenkins. “I created the company because I finally overcame a lifelong problem and wanted to help others do the same. Breakthrough M2 empowers participants to be successful by preparing their minds and bodies for a low-calorie diet with homeopathic supplements and ongoing coaching. Our staff works one-on-one with clients and also provides them with an online community, a custom dashboard to track progress, and group meetings. Diets can be a lonely process. Everyone needs accountability partners and emotional support to truly achieve their goals.” Breakthrough M2 has helped over 12,000 people lose toxic fat and regain their confidence. Nanette believes the program is highly successful because it addresses the root cause behind weight gain. While genetic issues are a possible factor in obesity and other health issues, our diets are the main problem. In 2016, the USDA reported that over half of American adults–approximately 117 million people–have one or more preventable diseases due to a poor diet and a lack of physical activity. Nanette asserts that imbalanced diets can only be fixed by unpacking why we eat what we do. “Most people that are overweight start to believe that their body is broken,” says Nanette. “They’ve tried countless diet plans, but they can never lose weight or keep it off. This makes them lose hope and find comfort in food. Breakthrough M2 helps teach them why they overeat or choose unhealthy foods. After we’ve educated them, we give clients tools to break bad habits and replace them with healthy ones. We aim to become the last diet our clients ever use.” Nanette is paving the way for the wellness industry to become a healthier and more effective place. Her passion for helping others on a path she has already navigated conveys her deep talent for empathizing and coaching others. Breakthrough M2 has many plans to widen its reach and become the last diet its clients ever need. Media Contact Name: Nanette Jenkins Email: info@breakthroughm2.com Release ID: 860754

Impactful Human-Centered Design can help companies survive

Prodigy Press Wire

For early-stage companies and also those that are scaling, Death Valley is a challenging phenomenon to avoid. When a new business is founded, it takes time to set up operations and secure stable revenue streams. Since almost 90% of startups fail, the idea of traversing Death Valley is immensely overwhelming, but there are ways to enhance survival. Designing for your target audience is a simple way to evade failure. Nicole Dery, a seasoned design researcher and co-founder of Allelo, a purpose-driven experience design studio, has some insights on this topic. All organizations, whether for-profit or not, must understand their company's purpose and how it connects to peoples real needs. If you’re a business selling luxury electric vehicles, you might be focused on providing high-quality and elegant design. Your target audience could be wealthy philanthropists and their needs include both performance and style features. You would need to have a deep understanding of these needs to design a successful product. This seems like a simple process to be handled by the marketing team, but it’s not. A business can make incorrect assumptions about ideal customers or create products that don’t suit that demographic. Misunderstanding your customers costs revenue and jeopardizes your business while bad product design prevents people from using or enjoying what you provide. Nicole asserts that User Experience (UX) is an overlooked part of this process, especially by early-stage companies quickly pushing products to market. As a UX designer and researcher, Nicole says that multiple barriers prevent the widespread adoption of a product or service, limiting the success of an organization. Product design is one of the most obvious. Think of a product you use every day, but imagine if one of your favorite traits is missing. That would create a negative user experience and cause a business to fail. Another example of this would be, designing a beautiful door handle for a luxurious car, that your clients were not able to operate, the function is there, just poorly designed. According to Nicole, many businesses don’t understand that cultural differences such as shared beliefs about a product or an industry can prevent widespread adoption too. For example, farmers who use pesticides may struggle to attract customers who feel that the industry is polluting the environment. Addressing these problems can be confusing, but education is the first step to overcoming them. Businesses like Allelo do this through impact-driven design. From the beginning, designers keep roadblocks to adoption front of mind. Instead of building a product in a vacuum, they conduct user research, partner with experts, and connect the process to the measurable outcomes they hope to achieve. Embedding impact and user-centered lenses into the design process enables businesses to create marketable products that will improve society. UX design is rapidly becoming a critical investment for growing businesses. Some of the offerings of UX include context-specific insights coupled with behavioral and social science research and custom front-end digital design. Additionally, strategies for eliminating barriers to technology adoption and de-risking investments are also provided by companies like Allelo. “UX design is essential for developing a new business and enhancing an existing one,” says Nicole, “However, most business leaders need to be convinced of this. They see user experience and human-centered design as unnecessary for non-creative businesses to implement early on, but Allelo and other impact-driven design studios enable companies to reach success. Allelo works with climate tech providers and our design services enable clients to grow their businesses while expanding their positive social and environmental impact. Strong human-centered and user experience design also increase return on investment because businesses identify and predict consumer behaviors, preferences, and pain points.” To unlock the power of UX design for your business, consider partnering with an experienced studio like Allelo. The agencies' talented team has developed robust and repeatable frameworks for designing for impact.  Allelo’s projects generally take eight to twelve weeks and they provide design strategy, team support and formation, and custom front-end digital design services. The company understands how to transform ideas into impactful offerings that please stakeholders and provide long-term benefits to businesses. Allelo’s mission is to build a more equitable and regenerative economy and climate through the power of design. Media Contact Name: Mia Mitchel Email: info@allelodesign.com Release ID: 860749
