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.

On May 11, 2015 vulaman published the Vulcanus V1 3D printer on his instructables channel. Coincidentally reprapalgarve was working on a coreXY project and when we saw Vulcanus V1 we immediately jumped on to the wagon. With the experience we had scaling up the Prusa i3 (called Mega Prusa i3) we rede...
This passive phone speaker/cradle is cheap, effective and easy to make. It also sounds better than most of the small, solid passive phone speakers, probably because of its large reflecting surface.The speaker/cradle should work with most phones, iPhones included. The basic idea The first picture ...

If something looks like a cockroach and behaves like a cockroach – well, don’t be so sure. It could be a Russia-created miniature robot which can spy and find people trapped under debris. Scientists say this is the smallest roach robot ever.
Russian scientists from the Kaliningrad-based Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University have presented a prototype of a 100-percent machine cockroach robot that they have developed for a company whose name hasn’t been disclosed.
