Mini RC Car Hacked (Controlled with Arduino, PC and Android devices)

February 15, 2013 Hugo Rosário
An RC car like the one I bought.

Hello friends, it has been a while since I posted something new on the blog but I have been wasting too much time learning new stuff. Today I want to show you one of my latest projects which combines electronics and programming for PC and Android devices. For most of my life I have been [...]

Titanoboa, the giant snake.

November 17, 2011 Hugo Rosário

Here is a video of Titanoboa, a design of a robotic snake ten feet long and weights a ton. Because robotics does not only mean miniaturization of devices, see a snake and a giant spider, built by the Mondo Crew, a team of scientists, artists and designers. In this video, although not in confrontation, the Mondo Spider Titanoboa past each other, making strange noises. Share: Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook share via [...]

IBM processors work like the Human brain

August 20, 2011 Hugo Rosário

For over 30 years, IBM introduced the first PC and now prepares to once again revolutionize the world of technology. Funded in part by DARPA – which contributed 28.5 million euros to the project of “cognitive computing” – IBM has created a prototype that uses parallel processing for multitasking and, more importantly, it adapts to [...]

1mm of Glass can store 50Gb of Data

August 17, 2011 Hugo Rosário

Researchers have found a way to store 50 GB of data in a “wafer” glass with just one millimeter in diameter. The process uses tiny dots called voxels, which are embedded in the molecular structure of glass made entirely of silica. Researchers at Southampton University have discovered how to use these points to bend the [...]
