Although cargo ebikes are often referred to as replacements for cars, they usually can’t match an automobile’s urban cruising speed, among other things. The VM45 four-wheeled velomobile comes very close however, with a top electric-assist speed of 45 k… Continue reading Pedal-electric VM45 velomobile lets riders cruise at almost 30 mph
Mosquitos are most active at night, which is when campers need light and are most likely to be charging gadgets. The Evo Repel was designed with these facts in mind, as it combines an electric mosquito repeller, flashlight and power bank in one device…. Continue reading Evo Repel combines a mosquito repeller, flashlight and power bank
In order to optimize traffic flow through city streets, municipalities often install car-counting cameras or other sensors at a few set locations. A new study, however, suggests that using existing bus-mounted cameras may be a better way to go.Continue… Continue reading Existing bus cameras could help optimize urban traffic flow
Although HEPA filters and ultraviolet lighting systems are effective at neutralizing bacteria in hospitals, homes and other settings, they do have their drawbacks. A new light-activated material known as LumaFlo, however, is claimed to have them both b… Continue reading Light-activated antibacterial foil claimed to outperform HEPA filters
As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it grasps and releases objects without using any electricit… Continue reading Soft robotic gripper uses nothing but air to grasp and release objects
Three years ago we told you about the Chasing F1 Fish Finder Drone, which is basically a little remote-control boat with a lowerable underwater video camera. Well, it now has a more capable younger sibling, in the form of the F1 Pro.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Chasing F1 Pro drone uses a 360º camera to show you where the fish are
Back in 2019, Chinese manufacturer Youcan Robotics brought us the prosumer-oriented BW Space Pro underwater drone. Well, the company is back with its much higher-spec’d OceanEye model, which is aimed squarely at industrial use.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading OceanEye underwater drone sports eight motors and 360º maneuverability
Inspections of tall metal structures or machines can be difficult for people to perform up-close and in person, and while aerial drones may help, their limited battery life is a problem. That’s where the magnetic-footed Magnecko robot is intended to co… Continue reading Wall-climbing Magnecko robot is like a cross between a gecko and a spider
Caused by bacterial infections or diseases such as keratoconus, thinning of the cornea can lead to blindness if not addressed. An experimental new injectable material could help keep that from happening, by thickening compromised corneas when triggered… Continue reading Light-activated cornea-thickening biomaterial could save patients’ sight
Due to factors such as murky water and limited peripheral vision, it can be difficult for scuba divers to keep track of where their fellow divers are at all times. A newly developed smartwatch app, however, could soon make it much easier for them to do… Continue reading Smartwatch app lets divers track one another underwater
