Engineers from National Chiao-Tung University of Taiwan have built a robotic arm dressed in furry seal outfit for throwing a ball into a basket. The percentage of successful ball-throwing was found to be approximately 99%. “A stereo vision system is used to measure the position of the target in 3D space.The ball-throwing transformation between the input command of the robot system and the... 

A chinese site iDealsChina is claiming to have engineering diagrams of the new Apple iPhone 5. The new design shows a larger screen(possibly 4 inch) than its predecessors iPhone 4 and goes well with thinner bezel that was posted by the same site last month. “We just got what appears to be mold engineering drawings for iPhone 5.

A group of researchers at the AutoNOMOS Labs in Germany have developed a system by which a person can steer a car with his mind. Building a mind control system requires developing a computer program that reads electromagnetic signals from a set of sensors worn by the driver. The project has been named the “BrainDriver“. The same group of researchers had previously built autonomous cars and...

Human-powered flight is not new to people, but to create a working human-powered ornithopter has been a dream shared by inventors and tinkerers since the 1800s. Now, The Aviation history is made when the University of Toronto’s human-powered aircraft with flapping wings became the first of its kind to fly continuously. The “Snowbird” performed its record-breaking flight on August 2 at the...
