Anker has already established itself as a major player in portable power, and now it’s used that expertise to launch a more convenient RV and camping fridge. Unlike the portable fridge/freezers that are tied to a vehicle battery or separate portable power station, Anker’s new EverFrost family of wheeled iceless coolers features integrated power. The removable lithium battery offers up […]

Some people lack the power of speech, while others may find themselves in noisy settings where speaking voice commands out loud just won’t work. Such folks might have use for the EchoSpeech glasses, which read their user’s silently spoken words. The experimental eyewear is being developed by a team at Cornell University’s Smart Computer Interfaces for Future Interactions (SciFi) Lab. […]

MIT’s Improbable Artificial Intelligence Lab has developed a Dexterous Ball Manipulation with a Legged Robot (DribbleBot) that can dribble a soccer ball under real-world conditions similar to those encountered by a human player. Robot soccer (football to some) has been around since the mid-1990s, though these matches have tended to be a fairly simplified version of the human game. However, […]

Here’s a quick overview of how P2 is intended to work … A worker at one location starts by placing a cargo item inside a droid – this is basically a streamlined box with a shrouded propeller at the rear. In a docking station at that location, the droid is then loaded into the belly of one of Zipline’s P2 […]

While we have seen health-tracking smart rings before, the Iris ring is a bit different. Utilizing special miniaturized sensors, it’s claimed to be smaller and more energy-efficient than anything else on the market. Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the Iris is manufactured by Swiss startup Senbiosys, which is a spinoff of the EPFL research institute. Like other health-monitoring smart rings […]

Home may be where the heart is, but sometimes, it […]

We’re not the only ones excited by the oncoming of spring. Mosquitoes are gearing up to enjoy the refreshments that you are unwillingly about to supply. Don’t be the host of their festivities. Wear this Super Shield watch band and repel those nasty bugs. There are few things that can ruin a backyard barbecue faster than those annoying buzzing insects, all lying in wait, […]

Munich-based designer Andrea Mocellin has presented his latest personal mobility device. The Exo-Line is an exoskeleton-inspired, battery-powered wearable vehicle you can lower yourself onto chest-first for a “physically engaging riding experience.” Some would argue there’s not nearly enough going on in the wearable vehicle space. Perhaps not many, if anything’s to be gleaned from the echoing silence that greeted this Hungarian […]

Entering passcodes on smartphones can be difficult for the blind, as they can’t see the screen, nor can they tell if someone else is peeking at it. The OneButtonPIN app is designed to help, by utilizing vibrations instead of visuals. Created by scientists at Canada’s University of Waterloo and New York’s Rochester Institute of Technology, the prototype app is intended […]

Chinese tech startup IdeaClub has launched an interesting Full HD ultra-short-throw projector on Indiegogo that offers 100-inch visuals and built-in sound, but can also be had with expansion modules that bring touch interaction, extra up time or boosted audio. The Witseer projector rocks a similar outward appearance to the puppy cube we tried out back in 2018, but instead of nifty touch […]
