Wheelchairs in the near future may be easier to use thanks to some MIT research. This Robot Wheelchair will respond to voice prompts by driving you where you want to go. "MIT researchers are developing a new kind of autonomous wheelchair that can learn all about the locations in a given building, and then take its occupant to a given place in response to a verbal command. Just by
Have a look at this Robot that is built on an iRobot platform. Have a look at the number of sensors, this thing has lots of computing power since is uses the Propeller microcontroller from Parallax. "This is an iRobot Create fitted with a Robot Arm I pulled from an old Radio Controlled vehicle. It uses a Propeller Protoboard and motor controllers and accelerometers from Parallax to control the
This Wifi Robot that Jonathan Bennett created is very well put together, best of all it was built on a budget. The five dollar base car that the hardware is mounted to is proof of that. "A remote control car that can be driven over the internet or with a laptop wirelessly from up to 500m away. It has a live-feed network camera so that it can be driven
We have seen some decent sized miltitouch systems in the past but this Multitouch Table by NUI is huge! I guess when the project is worth 60 billion dollars like the Cityscape Abu Dhabi nothing but the latest and greatest display will do. "NUI successfully conceptualized, designed, built and delivered a customized interactive multi-touch solution, which was demonstrated at Citscape Abu Dhabi 2008, the International Property Investment and Development
This LED Coffee Table made by Spark Fun is one high tech piece of equipment! I am sure there will provide many hours of entertainment. "The table itself was bought secondhand and refinished. Then it was retrofitted with proper mounting for the big LED matrix. The individual LED matrices were mounted on a custom plastic frame. All this work was done by resident mechanical engineer and lady-killer Casey Haskell.
This Dolmette Chinsaw Bike was built awhile ago but I never saw anything about the build. What a cool design! You got to love companies that have lots of money to throw around for fantastic projects like this. Video after the jump. "The combined power of 24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines is fed into to a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission by a series of twelve toothed belts. For use in the
If you want a bit more out of your iPhone have a look at this iPhone remote controller. English translation. "Controlling works easily with the help of 5 buttons on display. Four to control the direction of rotation of each wheel." Via: Zedomax
