With a few buttons, an LCD screen, an Arduino and a ioBridge, this project allows you to gather information locally and from the internet for instant display. In this example a local temperature sensor displays the local temperature while a internet based service used to get the temperature from another location. An online financial site is used to gather stock prices so that when you are in the kitchen
You may remember the Hexapod Robot that Matt Denton built. I think this new Chiara Robot could give Matt a run for his money as far as features and power.

David Touretzky, Gaku Sato, Ethan Tira-Thompson, and David Rice have done a great job on this system.
It is nice to see all of the ways we can reduce our energy consumption. For example the hacked Kill a Watt (now called the Tweet-a-Watt) can help you monitor your power consumption. Intel is making processors that are will use less energy by changing the way some fundamental things are done, this equates to a $2 billion dollar saving in energy fees. Google been growing at an amazing
Remember the 64 RGB-LED Color Table that was featured last week? Well believe it or not there has been a tremendous amount of work completed on the project since then.

What do you get when you take a tank and stick a ton of sensors on it? You get a cool Georgia Tech Senior Design Project called AutoTank. Can’t wait to see what other projects Nate Klein, An Duong, Chris Gurley and Wink Barnes come up with. Via: Embedded Projects "Fully autonomous vehicles will soon be at the front lines, both on the battle field and search-and-rescue missions. These
