| Fly This Mind-Controlled Quadrotor Using Your Thoughts [VIDEO] Posted: 01 Sep 2012 08:46 PM PDT   Sharpen those mental skills -- researchers at China's Zhejiang University have made it possible to fly a quadrotor using your mind. Named Flying Buddy 2, the quadrotor doesn't run on fuel, but rather on your brainwaves. It uses an EEG headset to interpret your thoughts, so when you think "left" or "right," the robot does just that. Brain signals are relayed to the robot via bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Why? Because you and your Lamborghini Aventador should never feel the pangs of separation. Instead, your wheels should sit adjacent to your dining room table and really feel like part of the family. Owners simply use a thumb sensor to activate the biometric elevator in the Hamilton Parks apartment complex.

| Airplane Seat to Provide Custom-Controlled Climate [VIDEO] Posted: 01 Sep 2012 05:05 PM PDT  Alongside long security lineups and baggage fees, one of the biggest pet peeves associated with air travel is unpredictable temperatures on board planes. While the climate is freezing for her, it's way too hot for him. To remedy this, researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP are developing an airplane seat that will let occupants adjust temperatures to fit their preferences. Researchers plan to create individual passenger controls over air purifiers, humidifiers and vents that are built into the seat itself. Currently, passengers can only manipulate a vent in the ceiling that blows air directly onto their heads. B… More About: Airplanes, climate, planes, trending
