Robinspect robot

There is a robot called the robinspect that inspects tunnels. this robot can see things that the naked eye can not see. It can keep tunnels from caving in on people.

It can move 1 meter per second and use its computer vision system to rapidly acquire rough 2D images of every inch of that tunnels walls. It has a small unmanned vehicle with a crane mounted on top of it.on top of the crane is a robotic arm to help fix the cracks.

They say this 3 year project will have more safety and also helps the inspectors. The Robot also will be shorter tunnel-inspection closure times, and financial savings as less human workers will need to be paid, and for less hours. it will be expected to be ready by next year and will be tested in London, experimental tunnels in Switzerland, three underground stretches of the Egnatia highway in Greece.

     Some day robots will clearly rise up and destroy us. These kinds of robots will be able to draw weird art. Matthew dörfelt made a robot that draws pictures random forever.

      The robot is called robo fabar contains only 2 motors and can draw straight or curved lines.  The type of board is an arduino board generating algorithms that translates to paper. It draws like trippy pictures with random things attached. 

     This robot is still bein processed to be made better. Robo fabar can be useful for anything in life. It also can be artistic and kids don't have to color the same pictures and it is a half circle.

     On the lytro camera, once you take the picture you can refocus, change perspective, and add Living Filters to create a new look. This camera uses megarays instead of megapixels which makes the picture very clear and not blurry. You can resize the picture to make it bigger or smaller and the picture will be crystal clear.

     this camera takes the picture right away so you dont capture the picture the second after you click the button. this camera give you the control on the lighting. The ISO range is 80 (min) to 3200 (max), and the minimum shutter speed is 1/250.

      This camera is out already with the price of $400-$500 depending on the GB. it is very easy to hold unlike a normal camera since it is a small rectangle. this small camera can do the same as normal cameras but is lighter faster and better picture quality.
