LATEST WACKY GADGETS: DEADLY WEAPON

Deadly Weapon: Knife Gun

Here is another Knife Knife-Gun an addition to the list of deadly weapons. I can’t really imagine oneself getting stabbed. How about a Combo of getting stabbed and getting shot?!. This Knife Gun does that job.
The Knife-Gun’s handle has a revolver like barrel that can hold five .22-caliber bullet and fire the shot when the handle is squeezed. If you see anyone with this weapon, you better stay as their friend.

HERE'S A VIDEO CLIP OF THE DEADLY WEAPON:

LATEST TECHNOLOGY: ROBOTS IV

Pleo XBee wireless & facial recognition hacks

Pleo for sure is a cute robot. But it can also help you learn about robotics. Some folks at Otto-Friedrich-University in Bamberg, Germany, calling themselves GRIP (Group for Interdisciplinary Psychology) have posted two tutorials designed to wirelessly connect Pleo to a remote computer and give him the ability to recognise faces.

The team has added a small XBee module to the robot which connects to the internal serial port allowing them to monitor Pleo’s internal state and sent transmit the signal back to them. They also have replaced the robot’s default low resolution camera with a camera of their own that will help them to perform a real time pattern recognition.

(VIDEO) LATEST TECHNOLOGY: ROBOTS III (RAT BRAIN)

Movies and fictions are coming to reality I guess. Scientists at the University of Reading in the UK have created a robot with rat brain cells. An array of electrodes are connected to the neurons that can send signal to the brain. When the robot senses an obstacle, the electrodes will send signal to the neurons so that the robot can take a detour. Watch the video after the break.
