A remote-controlled brain implant that can determine the path a mouse walks is being developed by scientists who hope it could one day be used to treat a range of neurological disorders in humans by wirelessly targeting therapies to specific neural networks. Matthew Stock reports.
The Touareg now drives into and out of parking spaces fully automatically. Virtually by remote control – from outside the vehicle using a smartphone. With the new Park Assist with remote control assist system. The typical situation: a multi-storey car park at the airport, for example. Just before the flight is due to leave. Narrow parking spaces. And that means stopping the car in the driving lane, unloading the luggage from the luggage compartment, getting in again, manoeuvring the car into the tight space, and finally squeezing yourself out of the car. Stress. Park Assist with remote control now takes over this job in the Touareg. With no stress at all.
The Belaz factory in Minsk unveiled its new truck and bulldozer, which can operate via remote control with no driver inside. The 130 tonne truck is equipped with a system developed by VIST Robotics, which allows the vehicle to function in fully automatic mode, whereas the loader is remote controlled.
At the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, in Las Vegas, NV, a robot called the AvatarMind iPal was present. The robot is meant to be a source of companionship for children, the elderly, and hospitality/retail. It’s the size of a small child, weighs 28 lbs, and has four wheels. You can tickle it by jabbing its ribs fairly hard so it will emit fake laughter and robotic arm flailing.
