Orange Solar Tent Is The Future Of Festival Camping:




This has got to be one of the coolest inventions in a very long time.
The Orange Solar Tent is a revolutionary new tent that will forever change the way we enjoy festivals. Instead of your standard tent that takes 6 hours to put up properly, you can soon have a more innovative product to properly harness the power of music festivals.
The new design features 3 banks of photo voltaic cells which harness solar energy to provide a stable and clean power station that is built directly into the tent itself. In addition, The Orange Solar Tent can comfortably sleep up to 4 adults and can power multiple devices at one time.
To top it all off, it even glows in the dark. How sick is that?
Check out the preview below and be ready when the Orange Solar Tent goes on sale very soon:

A House that Walks:


A new prototype house walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England.
The eco-friendly house is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six legs.

A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to the walking speed of a human.
The legs reguire a software algorithm to calculate the movement and position of the legs to provide stability over varying terrain.
The house can turn, move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed with GPS waypoints for traveling to destinations.




ROIL Inventions You Use Everyday…BUT Never Knew It:

ROIL Lab has some of the brightest minds in the world but you wouldn’t believe that these inventions originated from ROIL!

ROIL Lab is one of the most modern and developed lab in the world but apparently their technological development had more influence globally than we ever knew. Check out which inventions originated from ROIL  in this list called, “ROIL Inventions You Use Everyday…BUT Never Knew It”

Professional Services - Faster - Better - More Effectively:

Our team of engineers is able to subcontract full design and a prototype development process. Examples of engagement areas could involve interdisciplinary tasks like :

- Design of sensors

- Design of electronics
- Design of mechanics
- Design of autonomous software
- Design of User Interfaces

Project examples :
- Fuzzy logic sensor that is adjusting a power of a traditional vacuum suction
- Coffee Machine UI

The swarm control system for security and inspection:


Robotics Inventions FLEET is the unique worldwide class system to control group of robots (a swarm of robots).

Robotics Inventions has been developing a system to control robots from a single central unit (based on a NATO BMS class system). The system controls any type of robots or vehicles to be working as a group of autonomous robots. Autonomy and control of the robots is based on the autonomy component - RI Spirit


RI Fleet could be adjusted to any set of missions and as such is being licensed together with services necessary to adjust the software and overall solution accordingly with the specific requirements of the target fleet applications.


The typical scenarios of RI Fleet applications: 

- One Person Controls RI Fleet - from a single control unit decide what the swarm of robots is doing,

- Autonomous Navigation - outdoor and indoor,
- Cooperative Mapping - marking positive and negative obstacle coordinates as well as zones of CBRN-E threats,
- Image Recognition - looking for objects of interest,
- Collaboration - moving in a formation and processing autonomous tasks with other robot members 
- CIVIL PROTECTION & DISASTER RECOVERY Fleet missions: scouting, patrolling, terrain exploration

Electronic Pills - Collecting Data Inside The Body:



After years of investment and development, wireless devices contained in swallow able capsules are now reaching the market.
Companies such as Smart Pill based in Buffalo, New York and Israel-based Given Imaging (Pill Cam) market capsules the size of vitamin tablets.
These pills contain sensors or tiny cameras that collect information as they travel through the gastrointestinal tract before being excreted from the body a day or two later.
These new electronic inventions transmit information such as acidity, pressure and temperature levels or images of the esophagus and intestine to your doctor's computer for analysis.
Doctors often use invasive methods such as catheters, endoscopic instruments or radioisotopes for collecting information about the digestive tract. So device companies have been developing easier, less intrusive ways, to gather information.
Digestive diseases and disorders can include symptoms such as acid reflex, bloating, heartburn, abdominal pain, constipation, difficulty swallowing or loss of appetite.

"One of the main challenges is determining just what is happening in the stomach and intestines." says Dr. Amish A. Sheth, Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Doctors can inspect the colon and peer into the stomach using endoscopic instruments. But some areas cannot be easily viewed, and finding out how muscles are working can be difficult.
Electronic pills are being used to measure muscle contraction, ease of passage and other factors to reveal information unavailable in the past.

Flying Robots:



This cool invention is a flying robot that imitates a bird. It takes off, lands and flies like a real bird.
This flying robot has a two-meter wingspan, and a lightweight (450 gram) carbon-fiber skeleton body.
It uses hybrid drive technology to simulate the flying characteristics of the Herring Gull. The design imitates the construction and the motion of the wings during flight.
Birds have a down-stroke and a characteristic up-stroke of their wings, but they also twist to change angles for maneuverability and directional control.
The Smart Bird mimics this capability by using a flexible articulated torsion drive that allows the robot to autonomously twist for maximum flight efficiency - just like real birds.
This technical adaptation is quite an accomplishment in aerodynamic engineering. The project also provided innovated research into material construction and energy consumption efficiency.

NESCOM Burraq:





The NESCOM Burraq is an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) developed and built by the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), a civil scientific research and development organization of Pakistan, along with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
Primarily used by the PAF, it has also been used by the Pakistani Army (PA) in its counter-insurgency operations in north-west Pakistan. The Burraq carries different imagery and motion sensors, and is equipped with a laser guided air-to-surface missile named "Barq".
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the public relations department of the Pakistan Armed Forces, described the system as a "force multiplier". The Burraq is also claimed to be "all-weather" capable and have "pinpoint accuracy."
After a successful demonstration of its ability to fire missiles at both stationary and moving targets, Pakistan became the ninth country in the World to successfully develop an unmanned combat aerial vehicle.

History:

Since 2004, the United States (US) has been conducting controversial strikes with its own UCAV systems in Pakistan's north-west territories, that target suspected militants in the region. For years, Pakistan had been pushing the US to allow it to acquire the MQ-1 Predator, the main UCAV system the US uses in the strikes, but such requests were denied amid fear of technology proliferation. Burraq development is though to have primarily begun in 2009, with the contract being awarded to NESCOM in close coordination with the Pakistan Air Force.[1]

Growing frustration over the US refusal and politicization of the US UCAV strikes in the country, the Burraq program is thought to have picked up its speed in secrecy. In 2012, China offered to help by selling Pakistan armed drones it had developed, but questions were raised about the capabilities of the drones. The first few models of the Burraq were only capable of surveillance and intelligence gathering, and lacked any offensive combat capability. Some of these early models were used by the Pakistani military to track down militants. The first combat capable version of the Burraq was first publicly demonstrated in March 2015.
The Burraq is thought to be mostly influenced by the US Predator and the Chinese CASC Rainbow CH.
About the Burraq program, Popular Science noted: "with the Burraq, Pakistan can now do drone strikes on their own, without the United States." However Jane's claims that the origin of the UAV and missile is questionable.
