A biomimetic jumping microrobot

Researchers from the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL created a microrbot, they are unveiling this grasshopper-inspired jumping robot at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation May 21 in Pasadena, California. This robot weighs a miniscule 7 grams, and can jump 1.4 meters or more than 27 times its body size.

To make use of, this robot can be fitted out with tiny sensors to explore rough, inaccessible terrain or to aid in search and rescue operations. "This biomimetic form of jumping is unique because it allows micro-robots to travel over many types of rough terrain where no other walking or wheeled robot could go," explains EPFL Professor Dario Floreano. "These tiny jumping robots could be fitted with solar cells to recharge between jumps and deployed in swarms for extended exploration of remote areas on Earth or on other planets." [via EurekAlert]

The Longest Mobile Phone Ever

Everyone wants a stylish, slick, shiny and mainly the phone which is smaller than our pockets. No one will think for a mobile phone which can't be in our pockets except the designer Tamer Koseli. His concept mobile phone named NEED is the Longest Mobile Phone I've seen.

He says, all cell phone are the multimedia gadgets, they are far away from their basic aim of communication ( I agree ). So, he wanted to create a cell phone for only communication purpose, you guess right, it has no multimedia features like mp3, video, even a camera etc.

Now, what it got? this phone has a screen which is divided into two, the first screen is a touch screen and other is OLED which displays basic info of the phone. [Yanko Design]
