STEM Saturday Post Promotion #37: Accidental Robotics Edition
TL;DR: SBD printing remains paused and competition for the /promoted page remains low. Therefore, I promoted multiple posts, again, for STEM Saturday. This week's promotions included posts by repeat contributors @jorgebgt, @sarahjay1, and @truth2 as well as a first time promotion for @tanveer741.
Because I was focused on things like word counts & plagiarism checks, it wasn't until I looked at the headlines on the /promoted page that I realized that this week's promotions center around robotics as a sort of a theme.
If you are a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics enthusiast, please consider following these accounts.
Welcome to our 37th STEM Saturday post promotion on the Steem blockchain. In celebration of the occasion, I have once again promoted the Popular STEM community to the top of the /promoted list.

This marks the thirty-seventh consecutive Saturday that our community has held the top of the /promoted page.
As previously announced, the promoted post(s) will be pinned in our community, and will remain pinned until payout time or until dropping out of the top-2 promoted posts for our community.
Because there are more than 2, the posts should periodically rotate in and out of the pinned slots.
The Post(s)
This week, since there wasn't much competition for the top of the page, I promoted four posts, and we have - once again - a STEM Saturday /promoted page that's entirely dedicated to STEM topics. The posts were:
- Astrobotic Technologies's private lunar module is ready for its first space flight by @sarahjay1.
- liquid metal robot, from cinema to reality. by @jorgebgt.
- Law Enforcement Robots and Artificial Intelligence- Controversial and Transformative by @truth2.
- Kármán Line: The Edge of Space by @tanveer741.
As with prior weeks, all posts were passed through three separate online plagiarism checks before promotion. More about the post selection criteria can be found below, especially with regards to uniqueness and length of posts.
Here are the posts at the top of /promoted:
Promotion Cost
In order to promote these posts, I burned 0.04 SBD (equivalent to about 1/5 STEEM) by sending to @null with the memo field set to: @[ACCOUNT]/[PERMLINK]

The Popular STEM community is intended to be a place for accessible STEM conversations (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). If you have an interest in STEM topics, please come join us!
About STEM Saturday
If members would like to have your own STEM content considered for future promotions, please come join us and start contributing. I don't know how long I'll be continuing the tradition, but while I do, here are the minimum requirements for consideration (subject to change without notice ;-).
- Original, plagiarism-free content
- Minimum word count: currently 300 words, but this may be adjusted.
- The content must not be cross-posted on other web sites or blockchains. Correct use of the #steemexclusive tag is encouraged.
- English language. (sorry, it's the only one I know)
- Because a post leaves /promoted at payout time, posts created shortly before STEM Saturday may be more likely to be chosen than older posts.
All community members are invited to create original and exclusive content that can be considered for future promotions.
Please help grow the science & technology audience on the Steem blockchain by following the Science and Technology on the Social Blockchain Facebook page then liking & sharing our links!

This week, of all the articles, my favorite is a robot made of liquid metal definitely. I remember always revising Terminator with pleasure) The special effects in my youth were at the highest level!
I definitely agree about the Terminator movies and the special effects.
It is the beginning of the rebellion of the Machines!!
It's a robotic week! hehe
4 cool articles! Thanks to the authors for their work. It was interesting to read each one.
Congratulations to those mentioned
Thanks for making me a member. I appreciate it.
