Anyway, the Japanese has developed a new kind of robot, called Cube Kun, which its sole purpose is for solving Rubix cube. And this Cube Kun robot can solve Rubix cubes within seconds.
Toyota is not the only car manufacturer that has stepped into the robotic era. Honda has also got their humanoid robot to show us, which is called Asimo.

Roaches are simply annoying and scary looking for some people. Have you ever thought of a brutal slaughtering of roaches in a big group, so you can get rid of them once for all from your living space? If you wanna do such a nasty killing of roaches, you’ll need to find a way to gather them at a place and then kill all of them at once. So sorry that I have such a brutal thought in my mind. Of course, gathering roaches is simply no easy task, as roaches are cowards. Once you lay your hands, they’ll have fight for their ways out to run away from you.

This Rocky Mountain goat is 1.6-meter tall, has a thick coat of white fur and ticket-detecting sensors in its mouth. It can swallow at a rate of about 500 losing tickets per day.
A mod of the Nokia N800 Internet tablet created by some good folks at Nokia by merging the Internet tablet with a robot dog.

For the poor lonely geeks who do not have a partner yet. The Japanese has a cool invention specially made for the lonely, lonely geeky men. It’s called U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi, which is a humanoid that is mixed with virtual reality that can map a pretty girl and her beautiful actions. While you put on the head-mounted display, what you can see in front of you is a 3D pretty girl that you can touch and “interact” with. The U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi system maps a pretty girl onto the robot’s anatomically correct, green-cloth surface with the help of a sensor-equipped head-mounted worn by you. The system is currently the research product at Yokohama National University and they hope it can be commercialized. If you’re a damn rich guy but kind of lonely, then it’s your chance of into funding it to get it materialized. Video after the jump.
