This is for all those gamers out there who thought they were cool by having a Mario Bros. theme tune on their cell phone. It turns out there is someone even cooler than you, and that someone used a remote controlled car and bottles filled with water to play the theme from Mario Bros.So what would you do with a couple of hundred bottles of water and a remote controlled car if you were stuck on a de

Though certainly not the first gizmo designed with aerial photography in mind, the Aeryon Scout is a notch above most alternatives. The hovering platform enables users to capture still shots and log digital video from up above, and while it can be controlled remotely, we’re also hearing that autonomous navigation isn’t totally out [...]

Published: 27 November 2007 08:30 AMSource: The Engineer A remote-controlled 'fish', whose form and kinematics are modelled on the movement of the manta ray, has been developed by a German pneumatic drive specialist.The 'Aqua ray' (pictured below) provides a manoeuvrable, remote sensing platform with potential applications in the inspection of undersea pipelines and cables.An innovative water-hydraulic drive unit, coupled with fluidic muscles, produces smoothly flowing muscular movements. Those are then transformed into the dynamic flapping wings that propel it through the water.The ray was developed by Festo with help from Berlin-based bionics research company Evologics.It uses Festo fluidic muscles as actuators. These consist of hollow elastomer tubes with integrated woven aramide fibre

If you work in a busy office sometimes you just need to kick back and take five to bring your stress levels down and, to that end, we don’t doubt that this tiny Mini Cooper USB remote controlled car could prove to be a great stress buster as you send it around a race track marked out on your desk with paper clips before attempting a jump hastily improvised from a ruler shored up by your stapler.
The Mini Cooper desktop RC car comes complete with its own charging garage that connects to your PC via USB, and is controlled, not by a hand-held controller, but by an interface on your VDU.
Headed towards the infamous ‘Eraser Hairpin’
(not to scale)
The car itself, steered via an on screen steering wheel, comes with six degrees of directional control (enabling you to practice parallel parking between your in trays as you deal with another customer complaint) as well as a one meter range of operation – which is more than enough for your average desk - and, if you really want
Drinking and driving, as in whilst under the influence, is not something we condone here at TFTS but in the case of this Remote Controlled Beverage Buggy we cannot help but make an exception.
Great for those days whilst lazing around outside or when watching a game on television to find – to your horror – that you’re fresh out of beer, the Remote Controlled Beverage Buggy could prove to be a lifesaver (well, not quite a lifesaver but handy nonetheless).
Capable of carrying two tins by way of passengers, the Beverage Buggy retails for $37. The only problem is that you’ll need someone by the cooler to load her up which is why we cannot help but wonder if there is any way that this can be paired up with the previously featured Beer Serving Robot for the ultimate in remote beer delivery systems.

If you’re looking for a home projection system with somewhat more character than most, and you happen to be a Star Wars fan, then how about owning your own remote controlled R2D2 droid that not only offers DLP projection via the droid’s optical sensor but also comes complete with inbuilt DVD player and even an internal iPod docking station.
The R2D2 home projection droid can be remotely controlled via a Millennium Falcon control unit (yes, we’re serious), thus allowing you not only to move the droid from room to room but also turn its head and even tilt it on its legs so as to ensure that the projection is perfectly positioned.
And, as if that were not enough, the device also comes with a built in memory card reader allowing you to watch video clips directly from SD cards or view slideshows and picture albums across your walls.
Manufactured by Nikko, the R2D2 Remote Controlled DLP Home Projection System retails for ¥388000 (which is approximately $3160 / £1573 / €2333 at the

A few years back there was a show on Swedish TV featuring where the British design firm SeymorPowell attempted to solve various everyday problems by applying industrial design knowledge. Unless we are completely mistaken one of the programs was about remote controlled locks and alarms for ordinary homes. We liked the idea, but unfortunately the program ended in uncertainty wether the ideas would be produced or not. We cannot remember the name of the company involved, but the other day we stumbled upon the remote controlled locks from British Locca. These locks open via remote from up to 50 meters distance, and you do not even have to remember locking it again since they re-lock after a programmable time, from 1 to 120 seconds. The Locca locks are supposed to mount on almost any existing door, and they are sold through British locksmiths and D-I-Y stores B&Q. Locca are planning a launch in Sweden and they will be starting at about SEK SEK 1.200:- (approx. GBP 88:-).
Do you have too many remotes in your house? Well a few more can’t hurt, why not install a few of these LED lights that come with a 24 button remote control! With features like strobe and disco this device could double as an epileptic detection machine.

This article from Hacked Gadgets (though this is a hacked pigeon brain) describes how scientists from China have managed to implant micro electrodes into the brains of pigeons which allows them to "steer" the bird up or down and left or right! Apparently, the scientists send signals to the implants from a computer and the bird is forced to follow the commands.The research will help the military possibly use these new forms of technology to spy on hard to reach targets or places where they could never get into without being seen. The Pentagon has already tried this experiment by trying to create remote controlled sharks! What the hell were they planning on doing, convincing the enemy to jump into the water and then have the sharks eat them!!!I feel bad for the animals though! It reminds me of that movie Being John Malcovich where his brain gets taken over by these other dead people and he knows it's happening, but can't do anything about it! Scary thoughts!Source: http://hackedgadgets
Looks a bit nasty but this is a fantastic demonstration of electronics and computers interacting directly with an animal. Will this put an end to designing tiny drone spy planes?
“Scientists with the Robot Engineering Technology Research Center of east China’s Shandong University of Science and Technology say they implanted micro electrodes in the brain of a pigeon so they can command it to fly right or left or up or down.
The implants stimulated different areas of the pigeon’s brain according to signals sent by the scientists via computer, and forced the bird to comply with their commands.
It’s the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world, said the lead researcher, who hopes the work will have “practical use” in the future.
In the United States, similar work on animals has been of interest to the military. For example, the pigeon news follows the equally amusing animal tale about the Pentagon’s attempts at creating remot
