If we can teach robots by showing them just a few times how a task is performed, we can reduce the need to program them for each new task. But for a robot, it is very difficult to learn from so few demonstrations, says Todor Stoyanov, a computer science researcher and one of the research leaders for the TeamRob project. #robotik #autonomaRobotar #samarbete (translated)

Now we are visiting construction sites around Kalmar County to examine protection against dust and asbestos. The risks are serious, and preventive measures must be effective in daily operations, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. The risks are well known, and there are methods to reduce exposure. Now employers must translate that knowledge into practice at every construction site, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. These are serious figures. Asbestos can cause fatal diseases long after exposure. Every incident must be taken seriously, documented, and followed up to ensure that more people are not exposed, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. During workplace visits, we look at how protection works in practice. Is there functioning extraction? Have workers received the right instructions? Have the risks associated with asbestos been investigated before work begins? These are factors that can determine whether people become ill, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. #byggbranschen #arbetsmiljö #asbest (translated)

Aron Flam wrote that the USA and Europe closed mines, gas fields, pipelines, refineries, and power plants, while the replacement was largely manufactured in China with cheap and largely dirty coal power. He stated that China accounted for 55.8 percent of the world's coal combustion in 2024 and produced 51.7 percent of the coal. That same year, the country began to build 94.5 gigawatts of new coal power, which according to Flam corresponded to 93 percent of all new coal power in the world and was the highest level in a decade. He also wrote that China burned more coal than all other countries combined and accounted for nearly a third of emissions. Flam stated that the USA had reduced its emissions by about 13 percent since 2010 and that the EU had reduced its emissions by more than 25 percent since the year 2000. During the same period, China, according to him, had increased its annual carbon dioxide emissions by over three billion tons – more than the entire EU's emissions. He claimed that the emissions thus remained, but were booked in the country that had taken over the factories. He also referred to an entire section on YouTube and wrote that the link was in the comments. #Klimatförändring #Koldioxidutsläpp #Energi (translated)
