ادامه مطلبYou could own this dilapidated 1960s NASA robot - CNET
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 inte al pressure that keeps the wearer's body from swelling up from the effects of decompression.This is where the Power-Driven Articulated Dummy ca...

ادامه مطلبThis robot is a lousy sandwich chef - CNET
[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 ...
ادامه مطلبJar Jar returns in this 'Rogue One' parody - CNET
[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 ...
ادامه مطلبThis 'Bad Lip Reading' video makes the DNC seem quite strange - CNET
[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, Be ie 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 O...

ادامه مطلبThis delicate cube is an omnidirectional octocopter - CNET
[embedded content] If you're frustrated with the limitations of the current generation of quadcopters, a team of researchers at ETZ Zurich, Switzerland has been working on a model that improves on precision maneuverability. Dario Brescianini and Raffaello D'Andrea have developed an eight-rotor aerial vehicle that has six controllable degrees of freedom, rather than the four quadcopters have."Typically, multi-rotor vehicles such as quadcopters are used to perform these tasks [such as surveillance] because of their agility and mechanical simplicity. However, these traditional multi-rotor vehicles are under-actuated, i.e. unable to independently control their thrust and torque in all three dimensions," the researchers wrote in their paper."In this...

ادامه مطلبApple's 40-year legacy began with this 'Eureka' moment - CNET
A lot's happened in 40 years. Back in 1976, co-founder Steve Wozniak built Apple's first-ever computer, the Apple I, after showing it off to a ragtag group of geeky misfits. Fast forward to 2016: Apple sold its billionth iPhone. That's an enormous achievement for a company that's become both status symbol and everyday icon. In the four decades since the Apple I, co-founder Steve Job has passed away, Wozniak has moved on to other pursuits, and Apple bumps along with the ups and downs of the consumer tech space it helped to so solidly forge.And to think, all that grew from the seed of this first "Eureka" moment.Enlarge ImageThe black-and-white photo from 1976 shows Steve Jobs (right) with co-founder Steve Wozniak.

ادامه مطلب20 out-of-this-world moments from the Star Trek anniversary convention - CNET
You might not recognize these people, but they were instrumental in making Star Trek the phenomenon it is today. Bjo and John Trimble were honored on stage at the Star Trek 50th anniversary convention. Let's go back into the '60s. "Star Trek" was in danger of cancellation after its second season. Bjo Trimble started a grassroots letter-writing campaign to organize fan support and call for a third season. It worked. "Star Trek" was renewed and then eventually revived in the late '70s with the start of the movie series. That may never have happened if the show was shut down after only two seasons. That's why Bjo Trimble is known as "the woman who saved Star Trek." Let's block ads! ...

ادامه مطلبSteam puts 175 virtual reality games on sale this weekend - CNET
Purchasing a virtual reality headset, such as the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, finding the right high-end computer to hook it up to, and getting the complex, sometimes finicky hardware up and running isn't the only hurdle to enjoying VR gaming. You also need a steady stream of quality content.The library of available VR games is growing every week, but almost all of the games and applications thus far are small, indie projects, rather than highly polished games from established publishers. What's more, many carry premium prices, from $20-$40, for short, buggy, unfinished games that are often little more than beta software. That may be keeping VR headset owners from sampling more new games and supporting content creators. Valve ...
