One of the most important alternative sources of energy is photovoltaic. Solar energy, growing everywhere (especially in China), is available in abundance and 100% renewable. The problem that has always plagued solar energy researchers is not its availability and renewability, but the possibility of storing it for a long time in a battery. This has until now prevented it from being used for long-term solutions. A research team from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden… Read more

Canine, the robotic stick of our old age

A research team from Columbia Engineering took inspiration from the traditional cane for the blind. The result is a “robotic stick,” an assistant equipped with a LiDAR laser that offers the ability to “touch” objects with light to help traverse a space. Canine (from “Dog”, stick) is the name of this device that redefines the concept of spatial autonomy and improves walking stability for everyone, blind and blind. According to a preliminary investigation carried out by… Read more
