RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal of advancing the state of the art of intelligent robots, AI and automation. The annual RoboCup event took place from 15-21 July in Salvador, Brazil. The Logistics League forms part of the Industrial League and is an application-driven league inspired by the industrial scenario of a smart factory. Ahead of the Brazil meeting, we spoke with three key members of the league to find out more. Alexander Ferrein is a RoboCup Trustee overseeing the Industrial League, and Till Hofmann and Wataru Uemura are Logistics League Executive Committee members.

Are you a basketball fan? If so, you've undoubtedly heard of Joel Embiid, the talented center for the Philadelphia 76ers. Let's begin with his successes on the court. Embiid was chosen to the All-NBA Third Team and the All-Defensive Second Team in just his fifth season in the NBA. Additionally, he participated in his third consecutive All-Star game and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team for a second time in a row.

Jolly employees who stayed with Riot Games following the acquisition mostly ended up working on "Wild Rift." They helped develop Riot's vision for mobile gaming, which followed the development model gaining popularity in Asia. As of June, "Wild Rift" players have spent around $60 million on game purchases, according to App Annie and Sensor Tower, which provide estimates based on App Store and Google Play data. Riot said that over 70 million players in the world have tried Wild Rift so far, and logged a total of over a billion hours players since the first testing phase began.

After practice, however, I've started to play "Wild Rift's" competitive ranked mode and found it's easy to be consistent in games, push objectives forward and have a positive impact on the team. Double kills and even triple kills are sometimes simple to pull off, when enemy players are still trying to figure out how to run away. With the smaller map, ganks, the act of popping into a different lane to help kill the enemy, are a lot easier to execute. A common strategy in effective rank games is to group up and start deleting enemy champions one at a time. It's a plan that works well on PC too, but it feels even more oppressive on mobile, if one team is always sticking together and the other is scattered and uncoordinated.

Yet a lot has changed in "Wild Rift." On PC, Ashe's ultimate skill, an enchanted crystal arrow that stuns and damages the enemy, fires straight ahead in the direction the player selects. On mobile, this arrow can be steered after casting, and even curve towards an enemy to increase the chances it lands on a target. The map is smaller on mobile and is simpler to navigate. Players can select item builds on their champion select screen to streamline gameplay, and minions will glow when they're ready to be struck by a killing blow to compensate for the game's smaller screen.

Even for us back in 2018, a lot of us were really passionate and inspired by Western pop and K-pop at the time, and the differences between the two,

Keeping fans and the media updated on the Bundesliga's star players is a key strategy in helping to build and improve the league's brand and reach. Humans and machines are now working together closely to further improve player profiles: Every player in the Bundesliga will have an online profile on the league's website and app, with biographical facts such as their nationality, birthday and age as well as information on their career and most recent matches. These machine-generated profiles are created by a Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine and are updated automatically after every matchday to provide the latest details about a player's performance. Due to the extent of standardised information, artificial intelligence (AI) can carry out this task far more quickly than any human editor could manage, given the sheer volume of data to be processed: 18 teams, each with a matchday squad of 18 players, for a total of 324 profiles. Nevertheless, cooperation between humans and machines is vital to ensure that the whole process runs smoothly.

In an unusual combination of disciplines, a basketball-shooting robot created by Japan's leading automaker helped students at a Tokyo elementary school on Friday to learn math. The physically active math lesson was joined by professional players from the B. League's Alvark Tokyo basketball team as well as Cue3, a humanoid robot made by one of the team's major sponsors, Toyota Motor Corp. The special class was part of Tokyo 2020 Math Drill, a learning program that incorporates 55 official sports from the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics into math classes to provide fun learning opportunities. Sixth-graders at Fuchu Elementary School No. 10 in the city of Fuchu were divided into groups of 13 to 17 students. Each student shot the ball once and calculated the success rates for each group, making it an exercise in using fractions. The group that scored highest got to compete against players Daiki Tanaka and Joji Takeuchi.

If you're struggling to find matches on dating apps, it may be because you're setting your sights too high. A study found the majority of online daters are seeking potential dates who are at least 25 per cent more attractive than themselves. Daters focussing on people'out of their league' may explain why a lot of messages on apps go unanswered, scientists said. The tactic might not get you as many dates as those with realistic expectations - but the study did show one in five people who use it manage to get at least one reply. If you're struggling to find matches on dating apps, it may be because you're setting your sights too high. Study coauthor Professor Elizabeth Bruch, a sociologist at the University of Michigan, said: 'I think a common complaint when people use online dating websites is they feel like they never get any replies.

There is nothing unusual about how little he knows about his own history. Almost everyone in the NBA today came of age in the final years that sports were more art than science. But the game has been transformed since then. A technological revolution has swept through basketball and made it possible for high-schoolers to have more data about themselves than even the most progressive NBA teams had until recently. Lin is now an investor in the latest product that's spreading through the sport and getting attention from the league's brightest minds, a new app called HomeCourt, which comes from a tech company focused on mobile artificial intelligence that was founded not long ago by former Apple engineers who were obsessed with basketball and have spent the last year developing the sort of weapon that Jeremy Lin never had.
