Taking inspiration from the traditional cane, a team of researchers from Columbia Engineering in New York has come up with a LiDAR-enabled robotic assistant which offers light-touch support for the mobility-impaired. Dubbed Canine, the device… Continue reading Cane-based companion robot supports mobility-impaired with a friendly touch
We’ve seen a number of folding electric trikes over the years, including 2005’s Rider, the adaptable Scuddy, the teeny Trikelet and the suitcase-sized eFoldi. That last one has just had a design refresh that sees it lose weight, gain speed an… Continue reading Suitcase-sized folding e-scooter goes Lite, rolls for longer

The internet of things (IoT) is a living, breathing beast that’s surreptitiously infiltrating our lives. We now have smart cities where the street lights and trash bins are calculating data to schedule efficient lighting and trash pickup. Our hom… Continue reading IoT and Machine Identity Protection: Getting Smarter about Securing Smart Technologies
Uncovering geometric shapes and patterns that once seemed implausible, this new technology will radically change the look and feel of our vehicles. Continue reading Additive Manufacturing Is Transforming How Engineers Are Approaching Design
We learn how programmable matter like replicated shark skin could make the future of air transportation safer. Continue reading How Will Molecular Engineering Shape the Vehicles of Tomorrow?
There are more mobile devices than people in the world. Most likely, you and other federal employees are completely comfortable navigating life around a personal smartphone. More than three quarters of Americans do — using it for everything from reading to connecting with friends to tracking your health. So why are so many federal agencies still stuck in the PC era, and what’s keeping them from capitalizing on the inherent productivity gains that a mobile strategy can provide?
