This robot is not only absolutely adorable, but incredibly agile. This appears to be video footage from a japanese remote control robot fight club. The objective appears to be to push the other robot out of the ring, like a sumo wrestler.

Momoyo Torimitsu, a Japanese performing artist, is taking her robot for a crawl in downtown Sydney, Australia. Crowds of people stop what they’re doing to watch the bizarre sight of the life-like Japanese businessman in suit and tie slowly crawling on all fours on the sidewalk. The robot is a symbol of the Japan’s Salaryman…

This week something interesting caught my eye, a really great idea, namely, a personal jet wing. Could this be the future of air travel? Who knows. The inventor of this piece of engineering, Yves Rossy, flew his creation on a maiden flight on May 15, 2008 after spending five years creating his machine. However, Rossy…

I was watching 60 Minutes on CBS and they had an episode on this thing called THE COLLIDER. European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) scientists are monitoring the Atlas experiment which is an experiment intended to recreate the conditions just after the “Big Bang” theory by firing protons around a 12-mile tunnel housing the Large…

This is from a Japanese game show. It is probably the most hilarious youtube video i know of at this moment. The one thing i appreciate about Japanese game shows is that if nobody wins, nobody wins. American game shows are bogus because somebody ends up winning, no matter what. Its like, why does someone…

Okay so I love Halloween. Literally obsessed with it so all month Ill probably post Halloween stuff. This animatron seems really complicated. While I know it is all computer oriented, It must have taken a computer genius to create it. I want to try and work on something like this later on.

I interned at this company, Elkay Manufacturing, a year after they released this sink. It’s cool because it takes up no counter space when its not in use. I’m not sure of all the technology that it employs but its a cool space saver and kitchen counter effect.

A little leapfrog from last week’s foray into electro-plush-toy vivisection: here we have neon spectrum of what lies beneath the cuddly exterior of many, many, battery operated toys. There’s a tiny nightmare inside nearly every one of these childhood icons, but damn if they aren’t fascinating little buggers.

Sabrina Raaf made piece called the unstoppable hum. It is a generative artwork which makes a ceaseless hum that is emitted from electro-mechanic activity in surroundings. The hum extends from the walls, to computers, pretty much to everything. There is a second set of hums which is experienced when someone places bands over their ears….

The idea behind this is essentially Guitar Hero but with lasers. If someone breaks the beam of light, it will trigger a note to be played. This was based of the idea of the laser harp. It would cost $1500 to build and 10 days to build it. Stephen is planning on selling the idea.

This robot can sing just about anything, or at least that is what it looks like. The robot is shown outside of a stadium singing to a crowd. He can sing both women and men songs, love songs or songs with a beat. The robot is portable as you can see in this video, the…
