Flexible displays and an underwater car, steering by the thought and the AGV, the first man and really driving the growth of solar energy, not to mention a plethora of robots. The exploits of the technology have not failed in 2008 …
If it runs quickly successes and new technology tracks of 2008, we can discern several areas particularly dynamic: the robot (as always), the micromechanisms (MEMS), the energy (including solar) and what might be called bionics. The now famous gecko’s feet to the birds, nature inspires more and more engineers, who have shown this year amazing prototypes. In the field of electronics is the sector screens probably the most advanced, with listings of flexible models or refund of relief. In the laboratory, the promise of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) are increasing and are now well beyond the accelerometers which envhaissent music players, like the iPod.
Between the flying man (FusionMan), the ultrasonic car, flying or plunging and transmission of orders in thought, we find that technology often leads us to where we lead, sometimes, our dreams …
January 4: A flexible screen 14-inch color A few weeks after the announcement of the first PDA screen rollable, LG Philips LCD announced a model A4. And in color! This is currently a prototype, which will be presented January 7.
By force of logical deduction, a program can construct a hypothesis based on results? Can he infer physical laws from observations? Going further, he could conduct an experiment? This subject is no longer a debate of philosophy or science fiction. To these three questions, the answer is yes. Moreover, these scholars robots already exist … 
They play with a ball, catch it in flight and juggling with a stick. The robots Masatoshi Ishikawa and Takashi Komuro have mostly the shape of a hand with three fingers, complete with two cameras and their speed was amazing enough to make a jealous player ping-pong … 
The artificial creatures have always populated our imaginary robot, robots, avatars … These terms include what we call in this case “artificial creatures”. The man did not merely imagine, because for nearly two thousand years, it attempts to breathe life into the robot through the robot. 
To mark the release of the new 3D film “AVATAR” December 16, 2009 Indoor Futura-Techno presents a special week: from robotics to virtual worlds! 
Japanese firm Hitachi introduced a humanoid robot named Emiew, who claimed the company is the most bystroperemeschayuschimsya a robot created to date. Thus the company wants to challenge the robot Asimo (Honda) and Qrio (Sony). 
Hitachi Ltd. presented the second humanoid robot, named EMIEW2. The robot weighs 13 kilograms, can move on wheels and walk on two legs, also on his head, there are 14 microphones that can recognize the voice, even if three people are talking simultaneously. 
Pastor Peter (Peter Pastor) from the University of Southern California in conjunction with colleagues develops software that allows the robot PR 2 learn new skills in motion – through the demonstration of these movements man. For example, 
From 1 to January 3, that is, a week ago with a small, two department stores network Sogo-Seibu was conducted to demonstrate the robot humanoid robot Actroid, developed by Kokoro Company Ltd. 
The creature of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology hosted by the Journalists’ Hello everyone, I am human cybernetic HRP-4C. With more than thirty engines, she is able to move and play top-apprentice model. It should make its debut at a fashion show in Tokyo March 23.
