Within the realm of robotics, redundant robots stand out as an advanced category characterized by an augmented number of degrees of freedom(DOF) in comparison to their non-redundant counterparts. In contrast to non-redundant robots, which possess just enough DOF for a specific task, redundant robots boast additional joints and articulations, providing notable advantages. These advantages encompass graceful obstacle navigation, heightened adaptability to dynamic environments, improved task precision and enhanced safety in collaboration with humans. 1, record 3, English, - redundant%20robot

Plants with limbs that grow down, instead of up, can be spectacular. Horticulturally, the reason for this growth habit is a genetic mutation. Most plants have a central growth point that remains dominant, and the trunk and limbs grow vertically. In the weeping tree category, this growth control is interrupted. The new layer of growth is somehow superimposed over the previous layer, and is more horizontal than vertical. This growth pattern is known as plagiotropism. 1, record 15, English, - weeping%20tree

The Chinese had developed the style of their bridges to a high degree, using a humpback bridge form. It was less massive and more graceful than the European bridges, but the shape was less suitable for vehicular traffic. The humpback bridge often was made even less massive by the use of open spandrel arches between the main arch and the roadway. 1, record 16, English, - humpback%20bridge

The Hénon attractor grows on the computer screen from a single point into a graceful boomerang shape. The image is produced by iterating a pair of simple functions, one of them having a nonlinear term, applied initially to some point in the plane specified by particular x-and y-coordinates. With each iteration, the attractor as a whole is stretched and folded, in much the same way that a baker kneads bread dough. Points that are initially close together get stretched apart, but are eventually folded back close together. All that's missing is the yeast. There is much that is strange about the Hémon attractor. For one thing, it appears to be the same regardless of the iteration's starting point. It also seems to retain complex detail at all levels : magnify any "line" and it is seen to separate into several parallel lines, each of which also separates under further magnification. 2, record 28, English, - H%C3%A9non%20attractor
