New Robot Butler?

New Robot Butler?

 
The new robot from Unbounded Robotics is Wally mixed with Isaac Asimov’s The Bicentennial Man. The age of household robotics is here at last.
The UBR-1 will set you back a little over £22,000, which is much lower than competitive industrial robots, bringing it within reach of a high end kitchen or garage. Fancy a mechanical butler?

The First £60 3D Printer and Scanner

The First £60 3D Printer and Scanner

3D printing is set to revolutionise the way we design and create. If you are new to 3D, start reading up on it now. The way products and pretty much anything is made is about to change.
3D printers can essentially make anything that can be made out of resin and still perform its intended function.
It works in the same way that an inkjet printer does, dropping tiny particles of ink on the paper, only in 3D, using droplets of a resin like glue and building layer upon layer to form the full three dimensional shape.

Manhole Covers Recharge Your Car

Manhole Covers Recharge Your Car

Good news for electric car owners in New York City, you will soon be able to charge your vehicle on the go.
Called ‘Hevo Power’, it is a wireless charging station that will be installed into manholes around NYC—charging your car when you park over them.
It was reported that the charging station can be “bolted to the street or embedded in the pavement”—transmitting energy through a receiver that will be connected to the car’s battery.
There is even a smartphone app that will notify the driver of the charge amount and help drivers line their vehicles up on the charger.
