Stanford researchers have developed a new cane, incorporating sensing and wayfinding approaches from robotics and self-driving vehicles. Could this new white cane reshape life for the visually impaired?
Hankook Origami, Shape-Shifting Wheel Is Perfect for Exploring Alien Planets This is oversimplifying it, but it is accurate: researchers have developed a new wheel prototype, one that is able to change shape and tread at the push of a button, making it ideal for use on all types of terrain with zero preparation in advance. It is called the “high-load capacity origami transformable wheel,” according to this paper published in Science Robotic (hat top to Interesting Engineering). This origami wheel has been in development for a very long time, and the latest prototype comes with countles...
