Enlarge Image RR Auction The Power-Driven Articulated Dummy is a strange aside in NASA's space race story, and now you can own it. The space suit testing robot is going up for grabs as part of RR Auctions' Remarkable Rarities Auction.The human body is not designed for space. As we get into higher and higher altitudes, as air pressure lowers and eventually becomes the vacuum of space, the survival rate of an unprotected human body lowers. This is why astronauts wear those chunky suits as they move around in space. Those suits, among other things, provide a stable inteal pressure that keeps the wearer's body from swelling up from the effects of decompression.This is where the Power-Driven Articulated Dummy came into the space race. Designed for NASA by the IIT Research Institute, the hydraulically powered robot was designed for testing space suits, hopefully allowing for human test subjects to be removed, ...ادامه مطلب

RoadshowNewsThis dongle will let you know if your car is about to breakdownSingapore startup Carmen has plans to make your car smarter, and it's doing so by tapping into the power of the cloud. Much like Verizon's Hum service in the US, Carmen uses an On Board Diagnostic reader that's connected to your phone via Bluetooth, reads your car data through an app and then uploads it to the cloud for analysis -- providing real time driving data on your phone.If your car is in danger of suffering a breakdown, either due to a failing battery or engine, you'll be alerted through SMS or the mobile app. You can also read a history of your jouey through an online dashboard. In the event that a breakdown does happen, Carmen says a future version of the app will allow a user to contact a workshop through the app to get the car towed and serviced.While this all sounds great, there's a slight catch. OBD ports are only found in cars made after around 2009, and Carmen's device currently only works with, ...ادامه مطلب

Enlarge ImageMy MacBook Pro today is maxed out, and I'm worried future models with USB-C will leave me without enough ports. Stephen Shankland/CNET Apple's next MacBook Pro will help move us all into the future of personal computing. But it could also bring some big headaches along the way.I'm confident it'll remain a powerful machine while getting lighter and smaller. But I'm worried that one new technology that enables that slimming down, the versatile USB Type-C port, will also mean the MacBook Pro and other heavy-duty laptops will leave me in the lurch.USB-C is flexible enough to handle just about anything you can plug into a laptop. I'm not sure we're yet ready to have it push aside other useful ports, like HDMI video and 3.5mm audio, the way they've already pushed aside Etheet jacks and SD card slots. And I'm conceed there won't be enough USB-C ports to make up for the loss of the old ports.The,what will your baby look like,what will you do,what will your verse be,what will your son look like,what will you be when you grow up,what will your daughter look like,what will you take away from this experience,what will your legacy be,what will you bring to the team,what will you be in your next life ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] We've all had fantasies of a future where robot chefs live in our homes and make us any meal we desire at any time of the day. But sadly, robots aren't quite sophisticated enough for home use as of yet. But that didn't stop Simone Giertz, a YouTube vlogger known for making hilariously crappy robots, from making her own simplistic robot to make her a sandwich. On Friday, Giertz posted the video "The Sandwich Robot" to show off all that a robot arm can and cannot do for its hungry master.Not surprisingly, the robot -- armed with a plastic knife -- couldn't figure out how to get peanut butter from the jar to the bread. "I had a robot arm make me a sandwich with help from my friend Fiona Rolander and a remote control from Stuart McConnel," Giertz wrote on her YouTube video page. "Good stuff. Didn't manage to feed me anything though."Giertz previously built inefficient robots to also badly serve breakfast, chop carrots, appla,this robot is trained to,this robot is super scary,this robot is not subtle,this human like robot is super scary,this robot rap is over,this four-legged robot is an electric cheetah,this incredible hospital robot is saving lives,this good robot woe is barnaby black lyrics,this good robot woe is barnaby black,crow t robot this is your life ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] One character that would make trailers for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" so much better is Jar Jar Binks, said absolutely no one ever. But that didn't stop fan Michael Murdock from making "Rogue Binks: A Star Wars Story" with Jar Jar standing in for Jyn Erso. The video, which was posted Wednesday on YouTube, also features the "Star Wars Holiday Special" version of Princess Leia as Mon Mothma, complete with that horrible Wookiee Life Day song. Other notable cameos include Boss Nass, Wicket the Ewok, Chewbacca Mom and George Lucas himself, with a rather ominous Disney logo backlighting him. Not sick of Jar Jar yet? Murdock also edited the annoying Gungan into "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in the parody video "Star Wars: The Binks Awakens." The real "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is scheduled to hit theaters December 15 in Australia, and December 16 in the US and UK, luckily without Jar Jar.Let's block ads! بخوانید,jar jar returns ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] If the US presidential race hasn't felt bizarre enough for you, the latest installment of the YouTube series "Bad Lip Reading" offers up unreal yet hilarious moments from the Democratic National Convention.In the video, published Friday, faux voice-overs of Hillary Clinton, Beie Sanders, President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and more rev up the crowd with statements that were never actually made (we don't think). As with all the clips in the series, the video dubs the words as closely as possible to the speaker's mouth movements. Highlights include Chelsea Clinton giving gal-pal shout-outs, Hillary talking about manservants and Sanders ranting about Batman and Robin. The best quote, however, goes to Michelle Obama, who says, "There's only one person who I believe can drink koala venom and pass the Neverland,this is what you came for,this american life,this,this is what you came for lyrics,this is us,this is the end,this day in history,this old house,this is 40,this girl ...ادامه مطلب

Well, it's late on a Friday, and Facebook has quietly released a new app, called Lifestage. And while its name might suggest the target market is caterpillars, this is actually for teens -- aka not me. Like other apps not built for me, it's somewhat confusing. But the gist of it is that you (the younger version of you, who was able to eat french fries dipped in milkshakes any time you damn well pleased) create a profile using your phone number (remember those?) and your name. Then Lifestage has you take photos or videos of various things, with categories such as what you "like" and "dislike," "how I dance" and "my best friend,if you can read this socks,if you can read this,if you can,if you can't hang,if you can keep it,if you can't take the heat,if you can dream,if you can't love yourself,if you can see me now,if you can only see ...ادامه مطلب
