Folks, we are at an age where different tech merges. While Toyota has proposed a walking chair for people with walking difficulties, the researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Exoskeleton Lab, and Angel Robotics, envisioned giving complete paraplegia the ability to walk again. The WalkON […]
Apparently, the weight of a bird is an important measure of its health. Sounds simple enough, right? Just pop the little fella on a scale and done. Well, not quite. Birds are dramatic creatures. The mere act of weighing them can cause stress, injuries, and sometimes even fatalities. Thankfully, a […]
Now and then, some inventions challenge the norm and change the world. One such major invention was the full touchscreen phone made popular by Apple. It completely changed the way we communicate, consume entertainment, and more. And now, a research project by Polytechnique Montréal in Canada and École Polytechnique in […]
We’ve officially entered the era where even your cat can get lost in translation—except now, AI is here to help. Researchers at Baidu are working on what might just be the most important invention since the scratching post: an AI-powered cat translator that decodes your feline’s mysterious vocalizations. The idea? […]
I promise you that Bedrock Ocean Exploration has nothing to do with The Flintstones, let alone the name of that fictional prehistoric town. Bedrock is a high-tech company on a mission to map the seafloor in detail you can only dream of. Officially, it is “a vertically integrated geophysical surveying […]
Apparently, WiFi does not just let you get connected to the outside world. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have figured out how to turn your everyday WiFi router into a low-key body scanner that can track your movements—even through walls. Yes, your router might now be able to “see” you […]
I am beginning to think the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has an obsession with biomimicry—in particular, how it lands. First, they created an ornithopter bot-bird that perches, and now the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne has developed an unmanned aerial vehicle that is literally a tree-hugger.
You probably have seen a viral video of a dude from China who made a mosquito-zapping turret. I cannot confirm if that is real or not but using lasers to zap pests may soon be a thing for farmers.
AI is becoming more sophisticated as the day goes by. Bipedal robots walk faster and are almost able to move like humans. Do you know what are the missing pieces for the machine to take over? There should be quite a few (things) – hopefully, and of them would be […]
Imagine using a drone for building or powerline inspection, and having to return to base to charge everything in 25-30 minutes. As inefficient as it may be, it is how things are for now, well, unless hydrogen-powered drones become viable, or the technology we see here, known as the Autonomous […]
Well, what do you know? Before Korea University released a white paper on meat-based plants, some science folks had already made meat everything, including meat berries. One such science folks is the YouTube channel The Thought Emporium. Last year, The Thought Emporium stripped some leaves of a few types of […]
