Perhaps we have heard or saw some project just looks like or similar to this one. Some thing cube that display something inside it. But this is something different. The concept of this project is a six display cube with digital screens that enable us to browse online databases like Flickr.com. To control this device someone should make actions on the object. This creates a playful way for someone in discovering image collections that are networked by tags.
EMILY is a small robotic flotation device developed for the NOAA. This robotic has already been used in Southern California. This device works by reaching the swimmer in the sea to help him floating, after that it is the lifeguard job to pull him back to safety. In the test result EMILY can reach a swimmer in minutes. EMILY costs roughly four thousand dollars each, but it won’t stop the Depoe Bay Fire Department to have several of it by the next years.
Vienna University of Technology and University of Manitoba created an affordable robot that had programmed to help you doing your daily tasks. This Archie project has been through four years of processes. This robot would like to help you do the tasks with $21,082. But you have to wait until it has the complete appearance before you bring it to your house.
Hirose Fukushima Robotics Lab in 1990 to 1993 developed arm robotic that designed to conduct such complex machinery operation like handling nuclear reactor. They thought that to do such complex operation it should take a special robot arm. This arm robot should be able to move freely and change it shapes like what elephant has their trunk. The construction of trunk-like arm robot takes actuator that able to produce large movement and should be created from light weight materials. CT Arm totally weighted 21kg and has a total length 120cm. The 120cm trunk-like arm robot constructed from seven segments that arrange in parallel way with a soft gripper placed at the end of the arm.
See the photos bellow. Is it car attached to motorcycle or motorcycle attached to car? This picture is a design of remarkable vehicle that combines car and also motorcycle. But if we look closer to the design it’s clear that the car attached into the motorcycle. It’s a cool thing to have this race vehicle design. But could this Ferrari like vehicle take over the real Ferrari in a race?
