First biomimetic humanoid robot unveiled
Chinese robotics start-up DroidUp has unveiled a humanoid robot called Moya, which the company describes as the world’s first biomimetic AI-powered humanoid.
Moya is designed to mimic human-like movement, facial expressions and even body temperature, which is maintained between 32–36°C. The female version is 165 cm tall and weighs about 32 kg. It is also equipped with an AI camera that can detect people and interact through speech and subtle expressions.

World’s fastest elevator’s top speed is 47 mph
The world’s fastest elevator is located in Guangzhou CTF Financial Centre, Guangzhou, China, and can reach speeds of about 1,200 m/min (around 44.7 mph or 72 km/h). The express elevators, installed by Hitachi Ltd, can take passengers from the ground floor to the 95th floor in about 43 seconds.
The skyscraper, which opened in 2016, is 530 metres tall, with 111 floors above ground. The elevators use lightweight traction systems, aerodynamic capsule-shaped cars, vibration-detecting rollers and pressurised cabins to ensure fast and safe travel despite the extreme speed.

In a dark street lived a stray cat named Cadensa. She had no home except an old carton, which was surprisingly cosy. During the winter, she gave birth to three kittens and named them Lily, Chubby and Mittens.
All three were very playful. However, as time passed, Lily and Chubby got lost. Mittens felt lonely and spent most of her time with her mother because she did not want to be apart from her. Soon summer arrived, and Mittens was now six months old.
Sometimes Mittens would go and play in the wide, open fields. Her mother, however, had grown old and sick. Mittens was deeply worried because she did not want to lose her. But destiny had other plans, and one day her mother, Cadensa, died.
By then, Mittens had become experienced. She had learnt all the hunting skills from her mother. Life continued with hunting, playing and sleeping. However, she was always scared of humans. Every night she feared that someone might harm her. Yet her mother had taught her to face her fears and never hide.
One day, the street was cleared of all the trash, and the box she lived in was also taken away. Mittens decided to leave the area. It was painful, but she had no other choice.
As she walked along the street, a little girl came out of a nearby house. The girl immediately fell in love with Mittens and gave her some food. Mittens was surprised. For the first time, she realised that humans were not always bad.
She continued wandering from place to place. One day, in an abandoned corner of a street, she saw a sad little kitten. When she asked about her, Mittens learnt that the kitten’s name was Lily and that her entire family had died. Mittens felt sorry for her.
Then she had an idea.
“Do you want to come with me on a journey?” asked Mittens.
“Yes,” Lily replied.
“Then let’s go,” Mittens said, and together they began their adventure.
During their uncertain journey, another kitten named Chubby and a puppy also joined them. Soon the four of them became good friends. They cared for one another and protected each other, because they had all lost their families and had now become each other’s family.
One day they wandered into a forest. The forest was dense, but they enjoyed playing there. Suddenly, they saw a lion lying beside a bush. It seemed to be in great pain.
Mittens slowly walked closer. The lion only groaned weakly. She realised something was wrong. After carefully inspecting its paw, she saw a large spike stuck in it, causing it to swell badly.
Without wasting time, Mittens used her sharp teeth and strong grip to carefully pull the spike out.
From that day onwards, Mittens became known around the forest as a courageous young cat. She spent her days protecting the weak, helping the helpless and proving that even a small and ordinary cat can be brave.
