ApriPoco - Toshiba's prototype robot can control devices in your living room. The robot, called ApriPoco, learns from users and then can act on their command. Toshiba hopes to commercialize ApriPoco one day...........


small and cute ! however,  doesn't mean it?




Does anyone have information about this or any kinds of  underwater robot?



The artwork developed by kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen is truly inspirational. The vision behind his movable works is that someday these mechanical beasts could live on any beach in the world as if they were some sort of futuristic animal that survives on wind power.

Exhibition Review | 'Ouroboros: The History of the Universe'
........................................................
That is the point of “Ouroboros: The History of the Universe,” a 3-D visual collage of vibrating mandalas, exploding galaxies, astronauts and corporate logos, among much more, on six screens, all in the service of reconnecting consciousness and cosmos. It’s now running in a darkened basement at the Ise Cultural Foundation in SoHo. Put on your 3-D glasses — what isn’t 3-D these days? — and plug yourself back into the cosmos.

Open the mobile phone application offered by a French real estate agency and point your phone at a building along the Champs-Élysées or some other street in Paris. Within seconds, you will see the property’s value per square meter, superimposed over a live image of the building streamed through the phone’s camera.

Improved camera technologies, new algorithms for scene understanding, and the evolving mechanisms for sharing and displaying visual information using the Internet are changing the role of computer graphics and vision in digital imaging. With more than a billion people using networked, mobile, and location-aware cameras, we’re seeing a rapid evolution in activities based on visual exchange. How will these tools impact visual-computing research and applications?
