Frankly speaking, when i posted once a bot that solves the Rubik cube very fast but still slower than humans, everybody knew that it was only a matter of time for this to change. Well...
I knew the French kiss, now i know the Japanese kiss! The Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications is conducting research into tactile communications, with the aim of creating a device which can effectively transmit the feeling of a kiss.
This device is for communications within the mouth, in other words, the goal is to obtain the feeling of kissing.
How it works?
If you take one device in your mouth and turn it with your tongue, the other device turns in the same way. If you turn it back the other way, then your partner's turns back the same way, so your partner's device turns whichever way your own device turns."
"It is achieved only by motor rotations, and you control the rotation positions via PC. It is called a bilateral control, and the turn angle information is sent reciprocally by both devices to maintain the same position. Right now the values are handled by one PC, but if a system is put together to handle the values over a network, then it would be easy for this operation to be conducted remotely."
What they aim?
The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue. If we can recreate all of those I think it will be a really powerful device.
This is the creation of Digger DTR, a Swiss non-governmental organization dedicated to designing mine-clearing devices. It has a spinning tiller of death called a flail, made of...

Now THAT'S what i call FAST! This robotic hand is so fast and so precise, that it can play toss and catch with a mobile phone by itself. it moves autonomously and dose some amazing...
If you ask me, i would never, ever, EVER let google drive for me. I hardly let them search for me in the web. But still, i have to admit that this car works pretty well. The car was...

Some time ago, i uploaded a blog entry showing the world's fastest Rubik Cube solving bot. Ancient history some may say. THIS is the world's fastest bot that solves the Rubik Cube...
