26、 both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope.

This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a g
27、reat degree of accuracy. “Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel （关联的） robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1 mm,” Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescopes panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.FASTs engineers also had the task of finding
28、 a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. “There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a vall

34、y to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone (无人机) technology to identify and warn lifesavers of sharks near swimmers. The project is the cooperation between the University of Technol
35、ogy Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones called “Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers” in the search and rescue movement in Australia.SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached
36、to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues.

The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark S
38、potter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there ar

The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue
40、operation took 70 seconds.We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and pro
