Hugh (robot)
Hugh is an artificial intelligence robot librarian designed by William Sachiti and Ariel Ladegaard at Aberystwyth University. Funded by Academy of Robotics in the UK, the robot was first publicized in February 2016. Hugh was to stand at 1.4 metres tall and weigh 60 pounds, and its core function would be to help users in locating and navigating them to desired books in the library. Hugh never left the prototyping stage and is currently not in use in any Aberystwyth University library. Technology Hugh runs the linux based Robot Operating System (ROS) with a combination of modules built on top combining voice search through Google APIs, and navigation. The robot uses a mini lidar for location and prebuilt maps of library layouts. API from Ex Libris Group Ex Libris Group is an Israeli software company that develops integrated library systems and other library software. The company is headquartered in Jerusalem, and has ten other offices around the world. In October 2015, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Harare
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Similarly, in supply chain management last-mile describes the difficult last part in the transportation of people and packages from hubs to final destinations. Last-mile delivery is an increasingly studied field as the number of business-to-consumer (b2c) deliveries grow especially from e-commerce companies in freight transportation, and ride-sharing companies in personal transportation. Some challenges of last-mile delivery include minimizing cost, ensuring transparency, increasing efficiency, and improving infrastructure.
