Four MIT engineering graduates have developed the world’s first robotic kitchen in the form of the Spyce restaurant. The ‘Spyce’ of life Dissatisfied with the high price of quality, fast food, the graduates’ restaurant uses seven automated cooking woks in place of human chefs. With the ability to work simultaneously, the robots can prepare the… Read More
MIT researchers have developed AlterEgo, a computer interface that transcribes words the user internally verbalises, although it does not speak aloud. The AlterEgo Electrodes in the wearable device, which works with an associated computing system, pick up neuro-muscular signals in the jaw and face that are triggered by internal verbalisations i.e. by saying words in… Read More
World leader in lighting, Philips Lighting has launched Light Fidelity (LiFi). It is a technology that uses high quality lighting to provide a broadband internet connection through light waves, as opposed to the radio waves used by WiFi. With radio frequencies becoming congested, Philips Lighting’s Chief Innovation Officer, Olivia Qiu, said the “visible light spectrum is… Read More

Like all technology, 3D Printing technologies – including the ever-popular SLA – have evolved over the years, enabling product designers to push the boundaries of rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing. 3D systems invented SLA machines back in the 1980s. The SLA machines used by Prototype Projects are the Projet 6000 and 7000 (the former having… Read More
Australian artist, Michael Candy, has developed a way of saving declining bee populations that are facing man-made challenges such as climate change and pesticides. Candy’s conceptual project, “Synthetic Polleniser,” has been developed to encourage bees (which play a crucial role in pollination) to breed. It relies on 3D printed robotic flowers and artificial pollination. Candy told… Read More
