GRASP Quadrotor: The beginning of SKYNET.

admin — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 16:41:35 +0000

When i saw this the 1st time, it is awesome and cool. But imagine if this is full blown into a flying droid, now it is scary. The Skynet is here. Cao cao (Singlish : Run Run Run) ha2.

The technology is developed by Daniel Mellinger and Vijay Kumar from Grasp Lab (University of Pennysylvania). The Quadrotor can actually recover from extreme condition and fly steadily without human intervention. The best thing is it can even detect extreme movement and fly into loops. Cool.

RC: Boeing RC Stealth Plane

Interesting that Boeing, a major airplane manufacturer also look into the unmanned plane. The Phantom Ray is rolls out by Boeing and this 36-foot long rc-plane will actually serve its purpose as the test bed for advance technology like intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; suppression of enemy air defenses; electronic attack and autonomous aerial refueling as said by Boeing’s CEO of Defense, Space and Security, Dennis Muilenburg. I wondered what technology will be controlling this UAS? Will it out of range and drop fuiih.

Takara Tomy, a japanese toy maker has created a prototype of small rc car that powered with pop (“ene bio engine”). How cool is that. Next time when you or your child have extra sip of coke, don’t just throw it away, use it for play to run this rc car.

This is really a nice iphone + rc helicopter combination. User actually controlled the so called “helicopter” (or quadricopters) using Iphone via wifi network connection and able to view live video feed from the camera installed on the helicopter.

Control of the quadricopter is said to be quite straightforward. The helicopter comes with Smart Parrot Piloting Software (SPPS) which makes use of the iPhone

ha2. Another gadget for the rc enthusiast especially if you are running down with flu.

The Rakuten’s Running Tissue Box with standard remote control chassis, you put a tissue box on top and drive the absorbent paper to its destination. Hmm other than tissue box maybe we can also put can drink and drive it around. ha2

The Running Tissue Box costs around US$25 and is available from online stores such as Geek Stuff 4 U.

Another great invention by Australian engineers. With combination of Phyton + Wii Remote Control they manage to control the big crane (15 tonnes giant Grapples). Awesome invention. I never realise that phyton can be actually used to create such controls system.
