"The package has arrived" I opened the door and there was a 'Baemin robot'... Service begins in Gangnam, Seoul

Woowa Brothers, the operator of the delivery app Baedal Minjok (Baemin), announced on the 25th that it will provide B Mart (Immediate Grocery Delivery) robot delivery service in some areas of Nonhyeon-dong and Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

This robot delivery service, introduced with Woowa Brothers' own technology, provides grocery and shopping services centered around B Mart urban distribution centers (PPC) in the Gangnam area of ​​Seoul. It delivers to approximately 300 building entrances within a maximum radius of 1.5km based on the PPC in approximately 30 minutes. The plan is to expand the range to over 1,000 locations after May.



The robot delivery service is available from 2 PM to 9 PM on weekdays. Users can order products through the B Mart Baedal Minjok app in the Nonhyeon and Yeoksam robot delivery areas of Seoul Gangnam and select robot delivery as the delivery method. When



the robot carrying the products from B Mart PPC passes 100m before arrival, a text message of 'Notification of arrival soon' will be sent to the customer. When the robot arrives at the delivery location, the customer can open the robot's loading box through the product receipt page and receive the products.



This service is operated unmanned without the on-site presence of operating personnel. The delivery robot 'Deli' can load up to 20kg and moves at a speed of 1.5m/s, similar to the speed of a person walking briskly. It is dustproof and waterproof IP54 rated, so it can operate normally except in bad weather. A total of 4 delivery robots will be deployed this time, and Woowa Brothers plans to deploy additional robots depending on the number of orders and expansion of the area.



The company emphasized that it has made thorough preparations for safety during delivery. An official from Woowa Brothers explained, "For example, if a car appears at high speed in an alley, it immediately recognizes it and stops driving, and starts driving again when the obstacle blocking the road is removed." They added, "We have increased visual recognition for pedestrians and drivers by installing flags and reflectors, and we have increased stability and efficiency through active autonomous driving that slows down when there are a lot of people or obstacles in the surrounding environment, and increases the speed when there are not."



Hwang Hyeon-gyu, head of the Robot Product Strategy Team at Woowa Brothers, said, "We plan to introduce our self-developed delivery robot to the rapidly growing quick commerce (product delivery within a short period of time) market to increase delivery convenience and advance robot technology and services. "In the future, we will allow more customers to experience the convenience of robot delivery through linkages with food delivery services."

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But 'Resource Recovery' Isn't Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

이미지
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho will be launched for the fourth time in November. Nuriho plans to build technological sophistication through its sixth launch in the future. [Photo = Korea Aerospace Research Institute] Large and small launch vehicle companies have joined forces to develop future space transportation technology. Perigee Aerospace (Perigee) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Aerospace on the 26th to establish a cooperative system between the two companies for the development of space transportation technology. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to share technological and sales capabilities to strengthen space launch vehicle development capabilities and continue strategic cooperation. The Hanwha Aerospace delegation, which visited the Perigee Rocket Development Complex (RDC) in Okcheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, signed the business agreement and toured the development status of the space launch vehicle 'Blue Whale 1 (BW1)' cu...

When a star swallows a planet... [Now in space]

이미지
What happens when a star swallows a planet? The James Webb Space Telescope has released the results of observing a star 12,000 light-years away from Earth using its observation equipment. NASA reported the news on the 10th (local time). In conclusion, the star did not swell enough to swallow the planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, the planet's orbit gradually approached the star and was absorbed by the star. As the planet's orbit gradually got closer to the star, the planet was finally swallowed by the star. [Photo = NASA, ESA, CSA, R. Crawford (STScI)] The process of a star swallowing a planet revealed by NASA was that a planet the size of Jupiter first orbited very close to the star, closer than Mercury orbiting the Sun. Then, the planet's orbit gradually decreased over time. The planet gradually approached the star. As it approached the star, the planet began to brush against the star's atmosphere. As the planet fell in...
