A miniature robotic device that can fold-up on the spot, accomplish tasks and disappear by degradation into the environment promises a range of medical applications.
In a leap for robotic development, the MIT researchers who built a robotic cheetah have now trained it to see and jump over hurdles as it runs — making this the first four-legged robot to run and jump over obstacles autonomously.
Expecting mother Tatiana lost her sight at 17. Watch as her doctor surprises her with a 3D printed ultrasound of her soon-to-be-born son, Murilo.
Lily is the world’s first throw-and-shoot camera. All you have to do is throw it in the air to start shooting. The quadcopter flies itself and uses GPS and computer vision to follow you around. It is waterproof, compact and shoots HD pictures and videos. Check out the glossy demo video below. …
Neuroscientist and TED Senior Fellow, Greg Gage, is on a mission to make brain science accessible to all. In this fun, kind of creepy demo, Gage uses a simple, inexpensive DIY kit to take away the free will of an audience member. It’s not a parlor trick; it actually works. You have to see…
A stunning compilation of footage shot on the 1000 FPS Phantom Flex4K camera by Jacob + Katie Schwarz.
Watch Bill ‘the engineer guy‘ detail the engineering choices underlying the design of the common beverage can. Bill explains why it is cylindrical, outlines the manufacturing steps needed to created the can, notes why the can narrows near its lid, show close-ups of the double-seam that hold the lid on and details the complex…
This HD footage was taken by U.S. astronaut Terry Virts during two spacewalks (EVAs) on the International Space Station on February 25, 2015 and March 1, 2015. On EVA #30 (seen above), Virts and fellow astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore routed a series of cables in preparation for the arrival of two International Docking Adapters…
