Bionic flying penguins, wall climbing robots, rollable electronic displays, etc!
Jun 27th
One of my favorite things to do is go to technology conventions for a sneak peak at the future. This one is from the “Royal Society” of London and took place in UK as a summer science festival.
This is technology expanding horizons to new business opportunities. But, what can a flying penguin do for us? or more importantly, how can we sell it?

The man with three ears – Stelarc
Apr 9th
Stelarc is the man with three ears, and he has taken the use of art and technology to a whole new level.
He combines robotic engineering with his body for art performances. His past work includes creating a third arm extension, a robotic exoskeleton, and a small robot with a screen that functions as a head. His latest work, and the weirdest one I might add, earned him his nickname. He implanted an stem cell engineered ear into his forearm and plans to stick a small microphone into it that connects to a wireless transmitter and will let him send what his ear is listening to over the internet so anyone around the world can hear it. Is this is thinking out of the box or what… More like thinking out of the head!
Now this is too wacky for me, but he may be onto something. Stelarc is an art performer and may not think of business applications, but he firmly believes in augmenting the human body with technology. I’m very curious to see what can come out of his work. Today it looks like a far fetched performance by a mad scientist, but tomorrow his experiments might be the stepping stone to a whole new health industry.
