In a groundbreaking technological advancement, South Korean researchers unveiled a drone that serves as a 'flying shopping cart.' The drone, equipped with multiple flexible rotors, maintains level flight while traversing uneven terrains such as stairs. This innovative prototype, emerging from Seoul National University of Science and Technology, revolutionizes how goods can be transported efficiently.

A pioneering achievement in Chile sees the region's first 3D-printed house, dubbed the 'seed home.' Utilizing cutting-edge robotics, a team constructed the concrete abode in a mere 29 hours, employing a robot 'printer.' This venture, executed with an Atenea-UBB printer and KUKA KR120 robot, signifies a leap forward in sustainable and rapid construction in Latin America.

Both projects exemplify the integration of modern technology in enhancing traditional practices, whether in the area of transport logistics or construction. These innovations reflect a broader trend towards utilizing technology for practical applications in everyday life.
