Although just a concept right now, the nanotech display is entirely feasible in terms of application. It would function as a programmable display implanted less than a millimeter under the surface of the skin. The display would be controlled by about 3 billion pixel robots that emit photons to produce an image. It could have…

The title for this device is pretty self-explanatory. As you swing higher and higher, the swing laughs harder and harder, until it is at complete uproar by the swings highest point. The device is to be viewed simply as a regular swing and help relieve the stress and worries of the day. A micro controller…

Thinking about getting a brand new heart after eating all those chips, hamburgers and whatnot ? If so, then you’re in luck. Last week French scientists have unveiled a working prototype of a fully artificial heart which is based on the technology of satellites and airplanes. This gem of technology beats almost exactly like the…

OK so maybe this transformer robot doesn’t really transform itself into anything really cool, but hey, at least it turns into a car thing. Plus, I like the way the robot runs pretty fast and attacks the bottles. This clearly had taken a long time to put together and get it to move through a…

This video is pretty cheesy and not very good, but it is totally relevant to our use of servos in our class. Maybe we could make some robots or a robot like this out of only three servos. The website address is on the video. Just a thought.
