After writing about several potential modular robotic space explorers (such as SuperBot or Festo Molecubes) and writing about NASA’s dexterous space robot Robonaut 2, in this article we’re going to present another dexterous humanoid robot named Justin. It is developed at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), in… »

The number of various army robots is rising, whether those are scouting drones, bomb squad robots, search and rescue robots or assault robots. Most of the mentioned robots are remotely controlled with small interference from their autonomous systems, however, the US Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence (NCARAI) is working on more natural… »

In this article we’re going to write about an ultra luxury home, located on the beach near Diamond Head State Monument in Honolulu, Hawaii, which also has sustainable features. The modern five-bedroom home on 3927 Kahala Avenue has been designed and built by Long & Associates Architects. Because it has diverse sustainable features, it was… »

Scientists reported the first evidence that a plastic antibody works in the bloodstream of a living animal, opening up the possibility of plastic antibodies (synthetic polymer nanoparticles) being custom tailored to fight everything from viruses and bacteria to the proteins that cause allergic reactions that to plant pollen, house dust, certain foods, poison ivy, bee… »

Researchers at the Electric Power Research Institute, an independent nonprofit research organization for the utility sector, have designed a prototype of robot which will be used to inspect the power lines. Current way power lines are being monitored (in larger countries) is by helicopter which gathers data about warmth of the lines. This automated way… »

Cells and tissues assemble and organize themselves within a matrix of protein fibers that ultimately determines their structure and function, such as the elasticity of skin and the contractility of heart tissue. These natural design principles have now been successfully replicated in the lab by bioengineers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and… »

In this article we’re going to write about a beautiful modern house which has (some of the planned) sustainable features. The Shavano Park House is a modern structure that is suitable for displaying art-glass collection. We emphasized that only some of the planned sustainable features were incorporated, since the designers from McKinney York Architects, had… »

We already wrote many articles regarding green architecture where most of the buildings used solar panels which, due to their looks and practicality and looks, mainly end up on the roofs. Chinese PV manufacturer Solarfun Power Holdings unveiled a new line of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules that could change the usual looks of solar panels… »
