Controlling a UFO Using Only Your Mind

Posted on January 17, 2015January 17, 2015 by

The first remote control car from 1966 astonished many kids at the time. Nowadays, the remote control is something we all just shrug off. What if we had another unique and innovative method of controlling things. Currently there are many solutions, but one of these solutions is a toy that can be controlled by using your mind. The Mind Controlled UFO is a unique toy that not many kids are too familiar with yet. It is a unique take to a remote controlled flying machine. This toy does not have t...

How Researchers are Taking Computers out of Computing

Posted on December 21, 2014 by

Computers are really cool and helpful, but when we're on the computer, we can't connect with each other; computers can't really interact with humans. "So the challenge and opportunity that lies ahead is how to get the computers out of computing," said Mark Rolston, the chief creative officer at frog. Essentially, Rolston wants to personalize the experience of interacting with a computer, but also give more flexibility to a "computer user." Rolston came up with an innovative technology to...

New inFORM technology allows you to remotely cause physical changes on a remote plane.

Posted on December 21, 2014 by

A new technology from MIT, known as the inFORM, has surfaced. This product allows the owner to move things remotely, without any kind of remote control. You basically control an object placed on the inFORM. It is known as an inFORM, or a Dynamic Shape Display that can render 3D content physically, so users can interact with digital information in a tangible way. inFORM can also interact with the physical world around it, for example moving objects on the table’s surface. Remote participants in a...

The 3D printer that can build a house in 24 hours The University of Southern California is testing a giant 3D printer that could be used to build a whole house in under 24 hours. Contour Crafting could slash the cost of home-owning, making it possible for millions of displaced people to get on the property ladder. It could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing. The Contour Crafting system is a robot that by automates age-old tools normally used...

Brain-to-brain communication over the Internet – Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI)

Posted on September 7, 2014September 9, 2014 by 41629066

Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) is a hot area of research. In the past year alone we’ve looked at a system to allow people to control a robotic arm and another that enables users to control an ASIMO robot with nothing but the power of thought. Such systems rely on the use of an electroencephalograph (EEG) to capture brain waves and translate them into commands to control a machine. Now researchers at the University of Southampton have used a similar technique to show it is possible to transmit ...

Solar windows of tomorrow

Posted on September 7, 2014September 9, 2014 by 41629066

Solar energy that doesn’t block the view A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface. And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU’s College of Engineering, the key word is “...

Dry your body after a bath without towel in less than 30 seconds

Posted on September 7, 2014September 25, 2014 by 41629066

Dryer blasts water off your entire BODY in less than 30 seconds This is just like those Dyson Airblades that are used in public restrooms instead of paper towels, only much more ambitious. This dries the whole body. It’s only a little bit bigger than a scale, but the highly-compressed ionized air apparently gets delivered at all the key angles, whisking all the water off your skin in just about 30 seconds. Once the right amount of air has been collected into the pressuri...

Robotic vacuum cleaner that “sees” its environment

Posted on September 7, 2014June 5, 2016 by 41629066

Robotic vacuum cleaner that "sees" its environment Dyson revolutionized the vacuum cleaner industry when it introduced its bagless vacuum cleaner. Now, the company hopes to do the same again, with the introduction of a robot that cleans without human assistance. The Dyson 360 Eye "sees" its environment and can be controlled using a mobile app. Dyson originally announced plans to launch a robot vacuum cleaner back in 2004 with its DC06,but the project was eventually binned. I...

Hungry for Indian "tortillas? An Indian couple in Singapore has invented a first-of-its-kind robot to make chapatis that has already raked in about S$5 million in pre-orders from Americans. Rishi Israni and his wife Pranoti took six years to develop the robot, Rotimatic, which can produce about one baked roti, or Indian tortilla/chapati, per minute. Rotimatic is the first kitchen device to use robotic technology and awaits U.S. certifications required for sale in the U.S. market. The...
