The Robot Ice SculptorClearly, advances in robotic engineering will soon adversely impact the careers of artists in all sorts of fields! We remember the robot able to draw portraits, recently developed by Goldsmiths University in London. A gadget endowed with equally impressive abilities has been built by McGill University in Canada.
Dreamt up within the framework of a computer assisted architectural programme, FAB@HOME has the ability to create beautiful ice sculptures in a variety of shapes and sizes. The system could ultimately be used to decorate ice hotels, a new concept in tourism for adventurous souls who aren't afraid of the cold!
The European Car of the Year runs on ElectricityElectric or hybrid cars have the wind in their sails at the moment. An encouraging development when we consider the extent to which urgent action is required to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, reduce atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers continue to work towards these aims, even if politicians seem to be more lukewarm when it comes to their green commitments, particularly since the 2008 economic crisis...
In the field of automobiles, green technology is winning over more and more consumers. Many manufacturers have developed so-called "zero emission" vehicles.
A Camera faster than the Human Eye...Progress in the field of robotics is reaching the stage that the paranoid amongst us could seriously qualify as worrying! In fact, you could quite easily be left with a nagging sensation that some prototypes could enable the implementation of devices and systems that wouldn't necessarily increase the overall happiness of humankind
Robot RockRobot enthusiasts sometimes come up with some surprising new ideas. Such is the case with the musician Greg Locke. The New Zealander has created a rock group formed entirely by robots using real instruments!
The Trons have existed for 3 years and have already toured their native New Zealand and Europe. The members of the group were built from scrap. They rely on modern technology to avoid synchronisation problems.
Adaptive Solid State Lighting: MIT
LEDs are already energy-efficient but a team at MIT is working on a new type of LED that will save a further 90 percent more energy than current ones. These LED lights will emit as much light as is required. For example, in daylight hours then these lights will automatically dim and during the night, they will brighten automatically. As a result, you will get a constant and steady light intensity throughout the day irrespective of whether it is sunny or cloudy outside the window.
