The first video is the basic muRata Boy and muRata Girl demonstration that was being done on the hour during the Consumer Electronics Show 2011. This is actually the first CES that muRata has attended, they would have been there every year if you looked inside the electronics that were brought there by other companies though since muRata manufactures components that are very common and can be found in most
Our friend Max from Zedomax checked out the first color e-reader over at the Hanvon CES 2011 booth. The 9.7 inch e-reader has a resolution of 1024 X 600.

This video shows the work the team from the University of Pennsylvania GRASP Labs has been able to accomplish. These Quadrotors are able to lift heavy objects into various precise positions to build something.

Evan got a chance to use the Cyberdyne Hybrid Control System (HAL) at the Consumer Electronic Show 2011. Via: Adafruit
iRobot was at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 showing off their latest creation, it is their iRobot AVA Mobile Robotics Platform. It is a demonstration platform which demonstrates what iRobot is capable of doing. This robot is packed with technology such as 3D imaging, sonar and laser range finding. You can just imagine the possible capabilities for this platform. I could see it recording and delivering video messages within a
The guys from BigC had a booth setup at the Consumer Electronic Show 2011. I purchased a microscope similar to some one that they sell. My intention was to use it for circuit board inspection, the one I purchased works OK but the color of the image is not very accurate.
