.Kraft and Intel team up to build a kiosk that knows what food you want
This is a new idea from Intel and Kraft, and it is a kiosk that can apparently scan your face and tell what you want to eat. What happens is that when the user passes by the kiosk, the digital signage with Anonymous Video Analytics technology can determine the gender and age group and guess [...]
Palro gets an upgrade, and a voice!
Some of you might remember when we covered Palro almost one year ago from February. At the time, we reported that Palro had 20 joints, five microphones, voice recognition, mono speakers, 3 Megapixel camera, Wi-Fi IEE 802.11 b/g/n, gyro-sensor, three-axis acceleration sensor, eight pressure sensors on the feet, 1GB internal memory, a USB port, and [...]
RoboCar ZMP gets an upgrade or Knight Rider is now a Smart Car
It has been about six months since we reported on the RoboCar MEV from ZMP. At the time, it was a little robot head on a car frame that came off as cute. Clearly, the Robocar MEV has grown up a little, and looks more like a real car! Well, a Smart Car, at least. [...]

Check out the Lunchtime Lengthening Clock

Fortunately, this Lunchtime clock is designed to speed up twenty percent at 11 AM and then slows down twenty percent at 11:48, which adds 12 precious minutes to lunch. This [...]

See this Arduino-based ArduSpider robot toy!
I believe that what you are seeing here is a product of something that Jose Julio’s daughter said to him: “Dad, can you build a robot for me?” Man, if my daughter asked me that, I would try to deliver as much as I could. Still, I could never make a product of this quality. [...]
Check out this robotic head of late science-fiction author Philip K. Dick
If you have never heard of Philip K. Dick, then you might have heard of his body of work. His stories have inspired many movies including the classic Blade Runner, not to mention other decent science fiction films like Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly. Then there are other mediocre adaptions like the [...]
