Based in Tokyo, believes in using ideas in clever, amusing and imaginative ways. Our mission is to create a world of wit, parallel to our real world, where witty technology and sensibility are used to find witty solutions. Our Sekai Camera ("World ... http://www.spatialrobots.com/archives/487 [youtube]0NU3OTHU2ME[/youtube] http://www.spatialrobots.com/archives/507 [youtube]-wwfn739Da0[/youtube] Modular robotic system that can be swallowed and will assemble inside the G.I. Tract for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. This research involves the investigation of the self-assembly of the ARES robot inside the stomach. Using a specific magnet configuration on the connection face, assembly success rates of up to 90% ... http://www.spatialrobots.com/archives/504 [youtube]-lGG3SNXhW0[/youtube] Instead of using a traditional 2-dimensional display surface, Shade Pixel renders information using a deformable skin surface which provides a 3-dimensional texture to its output. The device uses a dot-matrix array of solenoids attached to a flexible Spandex skin. When sent the proper signals, the solenoids move in and out ... http://www.spatialrobots.com/archives/497 [youtube]u8jExRePCbg[/youtube] [youtube]dWNQXEnNMQk[/youtube] Taking inspiration from biological examples of self-assembly, this robot is built of built a series of modular robotic systems consisting of cm size autonomous plastic tiles capable of aggregation on the surface of water.
