Tools Transportation Future

Being a secret agent as a profession is cool. Especially if it is related to gadgets-gadget-nya. James Bond Underwater Jet Pack has made her able to swim beyond normal human speed. Now, I need a dream to be like them. Try to see a tool called Springtail Exoskeleton Flying Vehicle.

Springtail Exoskeleton Flying Vehicle allows someone to do the flight bak a professional pilot. Measures such as vertical take off and landing vehicle (VTOL) with a single operator.

VTOL in a pilot operating the vehicle in the standing position, including when the land base and live. By design, Springtail Exoskeleton can lift the burden of passengers up to a maximum of 162 kilograms.

Springtail Exoskeleton helicopter shaped like a vertical. Strength obtained from a 118 hp rotary engine. Engine that will run two rotor placed on the two channels berdiameter 1 meter. Placed in the position of each control room above the pilot, the one on the right and one on the left.

The tool is supported by fly-by-wire computer system that allows the propeller to work separately. So that each slope movement and the second round rotor can be determined and adjusted. Dipacu this tool can speed up to a maximum of 113 mph. Use of 46.6 liters of fuel for 295 km distance.

Springtail Exoskeleton made by Trek Aerospace. The tool is first developed in 2003. Springtail EFV-4A is a fourth generation of the vehicle with a single flying machine. Which is the next generation of development Springtail EFV-4A is Springtail EFV 4B

Sony HD Camera Module Develop Smallest

Sony has just announced the development of the camera module of HD (high definition) that seukuran coins. MCB1172 new module is diklaimnya as "the smallest in the world." What size are very tiny, 9.5 x7, 1 cm.

Apanya interesting? Here. MCB1172 enables video delivery 720p (HD) at 30fps. The other is the ability disertakannya video stabilization, introduction of the face (face detection) and otofokus movement. Moda-high ISO and slow motion 120fps also possible. Similarly 16x zoom option. All these features terkemas in 8.3 megapixel sensor.

Fun is not it? This HD camera module, so the word Sony, dirancangnya for industry and security and is available for mass production. Only expect this module will be present in the market this year also.

Isis Development for War Helm

Developed countries, require that all adult men to conscript (draftee) during a certain time limit. Activities that aim to prepare at times when going to war. Technology and strategy of occupying a key role to assist their work.

Therefore, the engineers of Isis (Institute for Software Integrated Systems) at Vanderbilt University developed a unique system. The findings can be very helpful in the work forces battlefield. The Isis engineers at the helm of war into a "smart nodes" in the wireless sensor network.

System is quite one of the soldiers charged. Helm war that has four "smart nodes." Function component is a wireless sensor network to map the wave. PDAs can be used to maximize the system is working.

Later, PDA gadgets can be important information. One of them is showing enemy locations in the 3D image. Keakuratannya claimed to have high resolution.

With the helmet, an army soldier can map the distribution enemy. User can also find out the position of the shooter around us. Whether he is standing or kneel. Terrible, this type of weapon system can map the type of weapon our enemies.

With such ability, the opportunity to win the war is big enough. With a record, the user should be able to maximize pemakaiannya. In fact, a year later, many scientists have developed a similar system.

Isis system detects sound waves generated from the detonation of weapons fire. The difference, not only Isis system on a sensor that captures a special characteristic. Especially from the sound waves ballistic.

Isis system also combines information from multiple points to map the position of the enemy. In addition to the sound sensor, Isis system using this technique to clear the filter resonance. Resonance strength of the explosion because the firearm can lead to other work pendeteksi sensor obstructed

Robot Ekspresif from MIT

Scientists in the field during this robotik always a big challenge. Namely, how to make humanoid robots able to imitate the human expression. Many robots have a physical strength far beyond human. However, not many children who can seekspresif Adam.

One of the challenges that try to conquer it is scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States. They make a robot named Nexi.

Nexi high of only one child aged three years. Body consisting of the head and body. The head is designed with the MIT Design Xitome, while chasis body Nexi mobile manipulator using artificial uBot5 company UMASS Amherst.

Nexi head like a human head with a bald white. Have the face of the elements that make up the expression on the human face. Namely, eyebrow, eye socket, eyeball, eyelid, and jowl.

The face has 15 degrees of freedom can simulate a number of human expression. Nexi can popeyed, mengernyit, laughing, even memelototi a person or object in time, like a resentful man.

At the head Nexi, there is also the command input device. That is, the CCD camera with a sensor light on the eyeball and the infrared camera on the brow. In addition, there are four in the microphone to support voice processing. Nexi can also introduce themselves.

Nexi neck movement is also flexible. Nexi able to move my neck in the fourth degree of freedom. Thus, the robot can shake, nod, or directing his head to one direction with the same speed with the speed of human neck movement.

Nexi capable arm is driven to the four directions. If used together, the two lengannya able to lift loads up to 5 kilograms. The circle is able to rotate and the hands move to some direction.

Nexi have hands that consist of four fingers, the thumb, index finger, and two other fingers. Thumb and index finger can move independently, while the other two fingers are always moving together. So, Nexi able to grasp the movement or shake hands.

Nexi terbungkus plastic body that is able to recognize the touch of human skin. Two wheels in the body is able to make Nexi run as fast as the human
