Feel the love with a robehug that's better than the real thing Robots give better hugs than human beings because they are physically powerful and notjudgmental or clingy, scientists say. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems presented the paper Emotionally Supporting Humans Through Robot Hugs at the International Conference on Human Robot Interaction. Alexis Block, one of the co-authors, said the work was important because it demonstrated that robots could eventually provide people with the emotional support and health benefits of hugs on demand. Studies indicate that hugs may reduce stress and blood pressure and protect against the common cold. To create the HuggieBot they modified a 450lb research robot by adding layers of foam and cotton padding to the torso and arms. Thirty-two participants received and reviewed 12 machine hugs, programmed in different styles- They found that people enjoyed the embraces that were tightest, softest and warmest but not too prolonged, and even felt more fondly towards the machine after contact. They didn't like the shortest onesecond hugs. which felt cursory, as ifthe robot didn't really mean it. Ms Block said, \"The results from our experiment suggest that to make a good hug whoever/whatever you hug should be compliant, warm, squeeze you, and release you immediately when you indicate you're ready for the hug to end." She added that some people preferred hugging the robot over hugging other people. "I think people may like hugging robots partially because they know the robot won'tjudge them for how long a hug they want or need." The Sunday Times (UK) Sessions Suggests \"Precogs\" May Be the Answer to School Shootings After yet another mass shooting that left 17 people dead in a Florida high school, GOP leaders are scrambling for solutions to this ongoing i crisis. I Q t; With more questions that answers, some Republican leaders believe that telepaths with the ability to predict gun violence may offer the best solution to the problem. \"We've got to confront the problem, there's no doubt about it,\" said Attorney General Jeff Sessions, \"It cannot be denied that something dangerous and unhealthy is happening our country." But he also poignantly noted that \"we cannot arrest everybody," adding that perhaps better law enforcement was necessary to curb the violence. \"If we were able to find 2 or 3 psychic mutant 'precogs' that could channel their thoughts through a pool of gelatinous amnionic uid, we might be able to give law enforcement the edge they need in the war on gun violence," Sessions continued. Initial Reaction News TEXAS: MAN FREED AFTER OUTLIVING 99-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR HORSE THEFT A 117-year old man from Texas was liberated from prison this morning after outliving a 99year sentence, becoming the rst prisoner to do so in the history of the United States. Grandson of one the most famous horse thief in American history, Henry William Borne was arrested by the Texas can 'Lndr Rangers in 1919 for being part ofin an important horse stealing ring. Borne, his father and seven other accomplices were accused of stealing over 7,000 horses and mules, including a lot of 1,735 horses destined to the American military effort in the first World War. The eight others were sentenced to death and hanged in 1920, while Borne, who was underage when the crimes were committed, was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Unexpectedly, the Amarillo native actually survived his sentence. He was liberated this morning from the Central Unit Prison, in Sugar Land, after spending almost an entire century behind bars. Visibly emotional, Mr. Borne expressed his worries about difficulty adapting to a life without crime. \"All I've ever been outside prison is a horse thief. That's the only thing I was good at. I bet I'd still be better than most of today's horse thieves, even at my age.\" WorldNewsDailyReport.com
