Chiba, Japan - Japanese scientists Creativity is not dead. Various different robots often they create, most recently the small robot shaped hummingbird.

Although the shape of a mini, but the creator - Hiroshi Liu - depending enormous creation of such objects. That is, as a savior for the victims who are trapped in the ruins of the building.

Quoted from AFP, Tuesday (29/12/2009), this tiny robot is designed according to the original form of a hummingbird. So that the weight of 2.9 grams, he was able to maneuver in the air with nimble enough.

"There's micro motors and infrared sensors for robots moving this hummingbird. While it has four wings to move up to 30 times per second," said Liu, who is a researcher from the University of Chiba, which is located in Tokyo's east.

Liu also had a square off to add the camera and the ability to fly micro helicopter that style can survive at a point in the air for long periods in the besutannya robots.

So hopefully, it can help the robot cost U.S. $ 2.1 million to more freely maneuver. Because, in addition to staying as digadang rescue team, was also assessed robots can be used to catch criminals, or even carry out missions on the planet mars.

Jakarta - Cockroaches often seen dead animals in order. But not so evidently in the minds of scientists in Oregonn State University (OSU), United States. They admired the ability to run cockroach and planning to implement the robot.

"People can run, but our capabilities are not nothing compared to insects or other animals," said John Schmitt, a professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering who led the OSU project is a robot cockroach.

"Cockroaches were incredible. They can run fast, menelusup, moves easily on rough surfaces and react to problems quickly," added Schmitt as quoted from IndiaTimes, Wednesday (30/12/2009).

If the runner a la cockroach robot is successfully created, Schmitt believes would use all kinds. Robot will perform heavy tasks such as for military operations, law enforcement, or space exploration.

OSU researchers try to identify the mechanical and biological principles of why certain animals can run very well and almost without effort. Through computer models, they create a similar robot concept.

It is expected that one day, cockroach-inspired robot is going to happen to dangerous areas visited. And because it runs so fast, they can quickly escape if they received a threat.

Jakarta - The phone is the gadget-prone lost or left behind somewhere. To anticipate this, a gadget will 'cry' if the phone is left in one place.

Zomm named gadget was introduced by a United States electronics company that also named Zomm, in the event the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Quoted from Stuff, Friday (8/1/2010), Zomm connected with a mobile phone via Bluetooth. Gadget alarm will wail when the owner fails, leaving a mobile phone. Of course, with record mobile phone owners always carry this little gadget.

This gadget also has a personal alarm that can be enabled phone owners, who works as a speakerphone and will notify the owner of the phone when a call comes in, for example when the phone was placed in the bag.

In addition, this gadget also gives a chance as a panic button that allows phone owners to contact police. Zomm batteries can last three days, then can be recharged again.

The idea of making his own Zomm in mind tercetus Laurie Penix, co-founder and president Zomm, when her husband lost one of his iPhone for the third time.

Jakarta - In addition to removing thirst in humans, a bottle of soft drink (soft drinks) was also able to 'let go of thirst' on the phone. How?

The breakthrough is revealed by Daizi Zheng, from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, who developed the concept of soft-drink-powered mobile phones for Nokia.

Zheng saw that the conventional cell phone batteries are not expensive and environmentally friendly. Therefore, he developed a bio-battery to replace conventional batteries as an energy source of the phone.

"The concept is to use technology as a source of bio-energy batteries for mobile phones," said Zheng as quoted from P2pnet, Monday (1/11/2010).

Zheng continued, "Bio Battery is a source of environmentally friendly energy, formed from carbohydrates (from sugar) and using the enzyme as a catalyst."

As an energy source for mobile phones, bio battery only need one package and produce a sugary drink of water and oxygen when the battery is dead.

'Lives' bio battery to last for three to four hours longer than regular lithium batteries, and of course more 'green'. (Faw / fyk)
