Shapeshifting Robot by Josh Rubin
Danish researcher Hautop Lund has created a shape shifting robot that can take 100 different forms. The ATRON is made up of several identical, self powered links that communicate with each other to slither, walk or roll. I bet it can also crawl, which is what my skin is doing right now thinking about the possible uses of this thing.

World's Smallest Flying Robot
One can imagine all sorts of uses for this little bugger. Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") has developed the mFR ("Micro Flying Robot"), the world's smallest flying prototype microrobot. Epson developed the mFR to demonstrate the micromechatronics technology that it has cultivated in-house over the years and to explore the possibilities for microrobots and the development of component technology applications. The company will display its...

Wired NextFest 2007

Sony Data Tiles
Developed by Jun Rekimoto in the Interaction Laboratory of Sony's Computer Science Laboratory, these Sony Data Tiles use tagged, transparent tiles to present dynamic information when placed on a flat panel equipped with sensors. The system makes use of both physical and graphic user interfaces and can either be used independently or in complex configurations. To get a better sense of how they work,...
