      Nearly two-thirds of buildings in Gaza damaged: U.N.

      Nearly two-thirds of the buildings in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed since the outbreak of the latest round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict on last Oct 7, the United Nations said on Friday.

      The United Nations Satellite Center said on Friday that based on the latest assessment of satellite imagery, over 150,000 buildings, or 63 percent of the total structures, have been damaged or destroyed in the conflict.

      Many Gaza residents say that they would be attacked even if they stayed in the so-called "safe zone" designated by the Israeli military. Their homes have been destroyed repeatedly, leaving them with no place to hide.

      During the past 24 hours, the Israeli military killed 35 people and wounded 55 others in the enclave, bringing the Palestinian death toll to 39,480 and injuries to 91,128 since the latest round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement Thursday.

      Robot competition wows public with advancing brain-computer interface technology

      The 2024 World Robot Contest Finals, just concluded on Tuesday in Zhengzhou, central China's Henan Province, has captivated visitors with exciting robot battles and groundbreaking technologies.

      The event consists of two major competitions: Brain-Computer Interface or BCI Brain-controlled Robot Competition and Youth Robot Design Competition.

      Running from Jan 16 to 21, the event covers more than 20 major events, 50 minor events and 100 competition groups, providing a broad competitive stage for robot enthusiasts around the world.

      During the six-day event, incredible displays realized by BCI technology, like typing and communicating with mind, have also taken the spotlight at the fair.

      BCI refers to a system allowing a person to control a computer or other electronic device using his or her brainwaves, without requiring any movement or verbal instruction.

      At the competition site, young contestants, wearing portable devices on their heads, silently controlled line-following robots to complete challenge tasks by leveraging their brainwave signals.

      Wu Qin, a referee of the competition, explained that the performance of contestants is determined by their level of concentration during the event, with the data being collected from within the human brain.

      "The BCI device works kind of like a fitness tracker that monitors our heart rate and blood oxygen levels," Wu added.

      Meanwhile, a display and experience area, showcasing various application scenarios of BCI, have attracted crowds of visitors.

      "I just experienced the mood breathing light and visual typing. Both are quite advanced. I haven't come across similar things before. This competition let us learn about these novel devices, and it's great," said a visitor.
