is composed of two snake-like machines that attach via magnets to a UAV. After being carried to the site by the quadcopter, snake bots can detach themselves, slip through the holes and cracks of a collapsed building, for instance, and slither to their destinations.
It was inevitable that funding for these projects by the US Military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) would lead to spin-offs finding their way into private startups. There are now at least another three companies developing exoskeletons for commercial use and the focus is on creating them to help people with spinal injuries. A Swedish company, Ekso Bionics, makes a 20kg titanium and aluminium suit that costs $100,000 a pop, which has helped several crippled individuals walk again for the first time.
I always wanted to remotely measure the current from my mppt solar charge controller and into my inverters but the idea of using current shunts was not feasible since I can amplify the mv signals across them.

The maximum light output of the Wintech projector used in the Ember printer varies from unit to unit. At the factory the projector in an Ember printer is adjusted so that all projectors have the same output (roughly 22.5 mW/cm2). This allows the same printer settings to be used across all Ember prin...
I am going to built a routed 4 lane slotcar track*. Obviously you need some timekeeping/lapcounting solution for such a toy.You can buy various sensors and interfaces but there is also some free software around for which you can built your own interfaces.Most instructions are for printer or joystick...
