There is a lack of research on how drones are perceived and understood by humans, which is vastly different than ground robots. says Prof. Jessica Cauchard together with Viviane Herdel of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Magic Lab, in the Department of Industrial Engineering & Management. For the first time, we showed that people can recognize different emotions and discriminate between different emotion intensities.

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have examined how people react to a wide range of facial expressions depicted on a drone. The study aims to deepen our understanding of how flying drones might one day integrate into society, and how human-robot interactions, in general, can be made to feel more natural an area of research that hasn’t been explored very much until today.

Eskom continued with stage 2 load shedding on Tuesday 1 June 2021, with energy expert Ted Blom predicting stage 4 power cuts could be implemented by Wednesday.
In addition, the power utility warned generation supply constraints “will persist throughout the high winter demand period”. Of course, the cold weather is proving to be a challenge as well.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has forecast South Africa will also face a week of very cold temperatures thanks to the cold front moving over the eastern parts of the country, which is sustained by the development of a cut-off low-pressure system.
