ROBOT climbs up rope more than 60 feet before coming back down safely | Daily Mail Online

'There are not many tasks that require shinning up and down a vertical hanging rope, but should there ever be need, there is now a robot capable of achieving the feat.

A team of amateur robot builders has created a humanoid machine called Skeletron, or Skelly for short, that can clamber up to the top of a length of hanging rope and then climb back down.

The robot has just taken first prize in a contest in Moscow ahead of Russia’s Bronebot contest, which pitches armed robots against each other much like in the popular Robot Wars TV series.'

Originally shared by Corina Marinescu The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the heyday of the psychometric and behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings – initially a blank slate – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly difficult to teach things that go against early ‘naiv...
