'Cretaceous Kraken' and the Rise of Robotics
Recent discoveries reveal that an enormous octopus, akin to the mythical Kraken, dominated Cretaceous oceans. Additionally, a robot named Ace, developed by Sony, has made headlines in Tokyo by defeating top-level human ping-pong players. Meanwhile, Univity has secured €68 million to expand as Europe's leading satellite operator.
In a significant paleontological discovery, scientists have identified a species of octopus from the Cretaceous Period, likened to the legendary Kraken. Fossil analysis reveals that Nanaimoteuthis haggarti, with its vast size, was a formidable predator of its era.
Technological advancements continue as a robot named Ace, created by Sony's AI division, has made history in Tokyo. Demonstrating expert-level proficiency in table tennis, Ace often outperforms human counterparts, signaling potential broader applications for AI-controlled robots in physical sports.
In the satellite industry, Univity, with its recent funding success, aims to become Europe's leading satellite operator. With backing from Bpifrance and other investors, the startup plans an ambitious expansion, furthering Europe's presence in space technology.
