Would you like to know what it feels like to have bionic legs? I think we would need to talk with Evan Ackerman to hear about what it was like since I don’t think most of us will get to test drive these legs any time soon. 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.

This works in a similar way to the Roomba to automatically clean the entire surface of the glass.Â
Do you have a Tesla and hate the hassle of plugging it in every day? Or do you have a product that could be shown off much better if you had an inexpensive way of delivering power to it while it is on the shelf in the grocery store? These are just a few scenarios where the eCoupled technology from Fulton Innovations could help. Just imagine driving your electric vehicle
Very often when you are building a project there are two discreet sections. How do we go about powering everything up? Just use some good old copper wires right? That’s a good solution when the sections are fixed together but what happens when one section is rotating, in this case we can use power slip ring connectors but that is not very elegant. Alan Yates had this issue when he
The Vstone/Kumotek booth at CES 2011 was lots of fun with their dancing robots entertaining the crowd. The dancing robots are being controlled using a video game like remote control. All of the actions are being manipulated using servo motors. They had a bunch of other cool things on display like the line following cars.
