For all Your Robot needs…

Air Swimmer Angry Birds

February 24th, 2012 | Robot

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

You may have seen the Air Swimmer Shark that I posted a few months back, well, now you have the Air Swimmer Angry Birds.  I never became addicted to the Angry Birds iPhone game as so many of you did, but if you’re a fan, I would recommend making the purchase.  My friend bought the shark, and it’s really fun to play with and incredibly intuitive to fly.

  The Angry Bird is about $25, and if it works anything like the shark, it will be worth your money.  You can find it here.

Greatest Toy in the Universe — You Choose the Name

February 21st, 2012 | Robot

Welcome to the official sneak peak of the Greatest Toy in the Universe!  This remote-controlled spider comes complete with armor and multiple weapon attachments.  What I really love about this toy though is the enthusiasm of its creator, Jaimie Mantzel.

  From his seven minute video description:

“No one at the stores, or in marketing cares whether or not a toy is awesome. They don’t care if its cheap junk with wheels on it that shouldn’t be there. That’s not their job. Their job is to sell what YOU buy.

It took an incredible amount of effort to get something this cool through all the processes.

He sounds almost manic as he describes the different features of his creation.  You can even play beer pong with this thing…

And if you can think of a great name for the toy, they will send you one for free whenever it comes out.

The First Artificial Heart

February 14th, 2012 | Robot

The first artificial heart was implanted by surgeon Denton Cooley on April 4, 1969, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in Houston, TX.  The recipient, Haskell Karp, lived for nearly 3 days with the artificial heart until a real human heart was available for transplant.

The heart is not on display at the National Museum of American History, but Alexis Madrigal, from The Atlantic, gained access the storage closet shown below to get a closer look and snap the photos below.  The heart sits inconspicuously above the original capillary kidney.

The heart really does look like a World War I era gas mask, but it got the job done, and it proved that artificial hearts could be used successfully as a bridge to heart transplant.

The picture shown below is a top-view showing the four major valves: aortic, pulmonary, mitral, and tricuspid.

That day in Houston will no doubt be a pivotal moment in our history toward becoming cyborgs.

Date Night Rube Goldberg

February 13th, 2012 | Robot

The folks at 2dhouse created this impressive machine in honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow.

I’m a big fan of Rube Goldberg machines and posted one of my favorites a few weeks back here.  I suggest you try something like this for your date.

  It should certainly win you some effort points at the very least.  I might set one of these up at my place just in case I ever have someone come over for drinks on a whim.

The Quattroped – Wheel to Leg Transforming Robot

February 12th, 2012 | Robot

 

The video above is from a team of  Mechanical Engineers at National Taiwan University who used NI LabVIEW and CompactRIO to build a wheel to leg transforming robot that can drive around and also navigate more complicated terrain with its curved legs.

I wasn’t overly impressed with the robot until I saw the transformation.  The variety of terrain it can traverse is pretty awesome.  It looks just a like a turtle making it’s way over obstacles.

Side note: During college, I worked at National Instruments — the company that created the LabVIEW software used by this robot.  It’s a graphical programming software that is really intuitive to use.  Even if you have no experience with computer programming, you can pick it up pretty quickly.  Instead of creating “for loops”, you physically draw a loop around a bit of code and a loop is created.  Check it out if you have some free time.

The Robotic Swarm

February 1st, 2012 | Robot

Check out this swarm of flying nano-quadrators developed by the robotics team from University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Lab.  It is truly eerie/amazing to see the team of robots jetting around through the air in perfect formation.  And it seems only a matter of time before you’ll find these outfitted with cameras roaming the city streets or maybe with machine guns patrolling a war zone.

 They can fly in 3-dimensions and even avoid obstacles.

 I’m impressed!

I would also like to add that this robotic swarm has a Space Invaders/Galaga feel to it.  I’m seeing a real-world version of these games in the near future!
