Shanghai, Sep 4 (EFE/EPA).- The stock markets in mainland China have been trading at their highest levels in 5 years buoyed by tech stocks, with the latest possible shot in the arm being the upcoming listing of the financial technology giant Ant Group, which may even become the biggest IPO of all time. The CSI 300 index, which tracks the 300 biggest stocks in the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, has defied the predictions of analysts, who had advised caution despite the sustained rise citing its volatile character. The index, which touched its highest level since 2015 on Jul. 13, has only dropped around 0.74 percent since then, displaying a sort of plateau, which has kept the Chinese markets at their best levels in the last five years. This year, the combined tracker of China's biggest companies has risen 16 percent despite the pandemic, or maybe even because of it.

Gone are the days when poorly-parked cars took up too much space in already overcrowded car parks. These clever platforms are able to move cars and park them closely next to one another to save as much space as possible. A huge robotic car park in Beijing makes parking a breeze because self-charging platforms park your vehicle for you in the most effective way possible.
Traffic can be a pain, and is certainly one of the most annoying things about driving in a big city. It can get so bad that people are late to work and productivity goes down. That's why China rolled out 'lane robots' in the city of Shenzhen in a bid to relieve traffic congestion. Remote controls are used to move the central lane barrier automatically, redirecting traffic flow and allowing more space on alternating sides of the highway as needed. Local media reported the 'lane bots' have increased traffic flow by 12.1 percent. The bots operate between 7:30 and 9:30 AM local time, the peak time for morning rush hour in the working week as people hurry on their way to work. The robots look like regular road barriers and appear to be very simple to manufacture and control. It's not exactly clear where the controllers are located, but they are keeping their eyes on the road to monitor changing conditions at all times. Who knew that such a simple technology could have such a big impact on coordinating the flow of traffic? It looks like robots will continue to play a bigger role in society and make our lives easier.
Drones bring many new opportunities and can be a lot of fun to use. However, they can also be pesky and even dangerous. As some companies turn to drones to drive innovation, other companies are driving innovation in developing new ways to take drones out of the sky. Thousands of new drone users are registering every day in China, and one company called Bei Dou Open Lab has developed a new drone gun to deal with flying menaces. As China increases restrictions on unauthorised drone flights over public safety fears, Bei Dou Open Lab showcased their innovative counter drone technology to crack down illegal drone flights. The new anti-drone system is powered by smartphones and can be safely used at large, public gatherings. It tracks down drones with a simulated GPS signal and guides them safely to the ground.
