No distrito de Pudong, na China, abriu uma base de treino de robôs humanóides, onde são treinados atualmente 100 robôs com o objetivo de chegar aos 1000 até 2027, melhorando as aplicações na indústria transformadora e nos serviços.
Na terça-feira, a China lançou o seu primeiro centro de formação de robôs humanóides heterogéneos no distrito de Pudong, em Xangai. O Campo de Treino do Robô Humanoide Kylin tem como objetivo fazer avançar a robótica interdisciplinar, incluindo a IA e a aprendizagem automática, e pode atualmente treinar mais de 100 robôs, com planos para aumentar para 1000 até 2027.
O centro irá colaborar com empresas de robótica locais para reunir um vasto conjunto de dados de 10 milhões de entradas de dados físicos de alta qualidade até 2025. Estes esforços visam melhorar a aplicação prática de robôs humanóides em sectores como a indústria transformadora e os serviços públicos.
Num contexto de envelhecimento da população e de concorrência tecnológica global, os robôs humanóides são vistos como uma solução para os desafios da mão de obra e como um motor da inovação industrial. Até 2030, prevê-se que o mercado chinês de robôs humanóides atinja 11,35 mil milhões de euros.
As instalações de Pudong também planeiam revelar o seu robô de próxima geração, o "Deep Snake", que inclui tecnologias avançadas para uma maior flexibilidade e inteligência. Pequim vai acolher a primeira edição dos Jogos Mundiais de Robôs Humanoides no final deste ano.
Para os camaradas do PNS que tão incomodados ficaram com as suas palavras, convido-os a colaborar numa iniciativa para ajudar a comunidade guineense em Portugal: aprovar um diploma que autorize o Serviço Nacional de Saúde a realizar, gratuitamente, a mutilação genital feminina.
É algo que eu não sei se se pode chamar valores, mas, pelos vistos, pouca gente sabe o que são valores portugueses. E os guineenses também têm direito a ter os seus não-valores... Talvez assim os "analfabetos" dos valores portugueses percebam melhor o que são "valores" de um povo. Não basta, como disse a Catarina "Bloco de Esquerda" achar bonito cheirar a frango assado em Bruxelas e a caril em Lisboa.

Early Immigration Statistics in Germany (2010-2023)
Estimated numbers of immigrants arriving in Germany from 2010 to 2023:
2010: Approximately 600,000 immigrants.
2011: Around 700,000 immigrants.
2012: About 800,000 immigrants.
2013: Approximately 900,000 immigrants.
2014: Around 1.3 million immigrants.
2015: A peak of approximately 2.1 million immigrants, largely due to the European refugee crisis.
2016: About 1.5 million immigrants.
2017: Approximately 1.3 million immigrants.
2018: Around 1.2 million immigrants.
2019: About 1.1 million immigrants.
2020: Approximately 1.1 million immigrants, with a relatively stable flow despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
2021: Around 1.1 million immigrants, showing a slight increase from the previous year.
2022: The same number, with around 1.1 million arrivals, including roughly 1 million from Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict.
2023: approximately 1,9 million people immigrated to Germany.
Anther coincidence: in 2015, there was pproximately 13,000 reported rapes - the highest number between 2010 and 2023. The same year, 2015, was the year when more immigrants came to Germany - 2,1 million immigrants.
The decision to accept more than a million refugees was Angela Merkel's biggest political gamble. At first, she was widely applauded for her moral courage and leadership. She told the German people: "We can handle this," and there was a certain pride in German hospitality, in seeing citizens chant at Frankfurt railway station: "Say it loud, and say it clear, 'Refugees are welcome here.'"
For the German chancellor, the refugee crisis underlined that "the heart and soul of Europe is tolerance". Doubts about her policy surfaced earlier this year, particularly after young women in Cologne were allegedly assaulted by groups of largely foreign men on New Year's Eve.
The alleged assaults strengthened anti-immigrant protests, but they have subsided as the numbers of new arrivals dwindled. But the misgivings have surfaced again after four attacks in the space of a week. Three of them were carried out by asylum seekers.
The attacks were not related and do not reflect any co-ordinated plot against Germany. Two of them, including the attack at a wine bar in Ansbach, had a link to the so-called Islamic State. A video found by the police vowed that Germany's people "won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore".
The explosion in Ansbach has been linked to the so-called Islamic State. Earlier in the year, Angela Merkel had seen her poll ratings slide - but compared with most other leaders, they remained remarkably strong.
After the incidents in Cologne, she did lose support - but more recently, after the UK vote to leave the European Union and the attempted coup in Turkey, her ratings soared. Voters still see her as an anchor, a rock in a dangerously unstable world.
However, these latest attacks fuel concerns as to whether Germany is coping with the numbers it has had to process.
Mohammad Daleel, the Syrian refugee who killed himself and injured others in Ansbach, should have been deported months ago.
There are many others who have been refused permission to stay but still remain in the country. It was apparent in Munich at the weekend that many people feel insecure. Several residents said that they had been expecting attacks.
They spoke openly about their fears. "People in Germany are scared," said Rainer Wendt, the chairman of the German Police Federation. Yet there was a calmness, an unwillingness to turn a tragedy into a wider denunciation of foreigners or a demand for a state of emergency.
The anti-immigration party Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) said under "the current ideology of dangerous 'multiculturalism', the country's domestic security and the order of Germany keeps getting destroyed".
But AfD has recently fallen back in the polls and is struggling to lift its ratings above 12-13%. Yet these recent attacks will once again put immigration policy under scrutiny. "It is right to debate about who the people are who come here," said Mr Wendt. There will be pressure to vet newcomers more closely.
Refugees will be a major issue when Germany goes to the polls next year, when Angela Merkel is likely to stand for a fourth term. She is hugely dependent on Turkey and its increasingly authoritarian leader preventing further refugees crossing into Greece and the EU.
"We need to be more vigilant, but we cannot live in fear," says German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere. The strategy of the German government is to reassure, to refuse to adopt dramatic measures when the four attacks are not linked in any way. Among the 1.2 million refugees who have entered Germany, there have been 59 investigations into links with terrorism.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said: "We think that we should not change our behaviour. "We need to be more vigilant, but we cannot live in fear." There are, however, deeper concerns about integration.
Further attacks - particularly if they are linked to recently arrived refugees - will make her vulnerable at next year's elections. With the UK bent on leaving the EU and the French president deeply unpopular, the German chancellor, more than ever, is "Frau Europe".
She remains a steady, unemotional leader who said recently: "Fear has never been a good adviser, neither in our personal lives nor in our society."
