Mind-Controlling A Robot via DigInfo TVAn electrode cap and computer program can translate brain signals into commands for a humanoid robot. Researchers in Japan are using a brain-machine interface to control the actions of a humanoid robot. The goal is to allow people “to feel embodied in the body of a humanoid robot,” in the words of one researcher. Roboticists at the CRNS-AIST Joint Robotics Laboratory, a collaboration between the French National Center for Scientific Research and the Japanese Institu…

Did you know that cruise control for cars was invented more than 60 years ago? Invented by mechanical engineer Ralph Teetor in 1945, the inspiration for cruise control came when Teetor was frustrated by the surges and slowdowns while riding in his lawyer’s car as the lawyer was actively engaged in conversation.
Cruise control was first commercially installed in Chrysler’s 1958 Imperial, under the brand name “Auto Pilot.” Obviously a misnomer, because 1) the car isn̵…

As a kid, a full-size remote control car was always something cool to dream about. You might have had a pretty nice scale model, but nothing would quite beat remote controlling the real deal. Well, a Chinese company has fulfilled the dreams of kids (probably big ones more than anything) everywhere with a full-size remote control car.
And not just a car designed specifically as an R/C toy – but instead a fully functional (when it is working, that is… it is Chinese after all) road going passe…

Insteon Bulb Insteon There will come a time when our homes are completely automated, just like in several horror movies in which a house slowly murders its unsuspecting occupant. The Insteon is a pretty good step towards that inevitable murder–it’s the first LED lightbulb that you can control with a smartphone app. Lots of LED bulbs have some kind of remote triggering–I’ve been using the GiiNii speaker-in-a-bulb lately, which can be controlled with a little remote–but this is the first we’ve seen to …

I had to return a vehicle today and needed a ride home, so I engaged the services of my husband. I drove a Subaru Impreza, while he followed along in a Mercedes-Benz M-Class, both of them new vehicles.
We got onto the highway, and I set the cruise control on my car to 105 km/h. All the way out – about a half-hour trip – the speedometer never varied from that.
But he certainly did. I'd look in my rearview mirror and he'd be way off in the distance; then he'd catch up and be right on my back b…

Just hours after the new Viper made its public debut at the New York auto show, the comment sections of certain Web sites began filling with vitriolic rants from those who think that the Viper has lost its edge.
