Roboats Loaded with Tech to Communicate and Connect                                             Source:  MIT C-SAIL In Service, Self-Navigating Amsterdam Canals From the world famous MIT C-SAIL a team of engineers and roboticists created the Roboat, a robotic boat that uses the same autonomous self-driving technology for cars but adapted for the water. That adaptation was extremely innovative.  Roboat II has been under development for five years.  It is now large enough to carry passengers through the tricky canals in Amsterdam. It does so autonomously.  Importantly, the Roboats are capable of communicating and connecting with each other because of greatly advanced control algorithms and navigation systems.  That capability opens up new forms of transportation possibilities on water. Tremendous Tech Layered In The Roboat has four prop...

VIZR & Smartphone Advanced Display Source: VIZR Heads-Up Display Gadget VIZR is an advanced navigation display that grips to the car dashboard. You put your smartphone on VIZR and it turns your smartphone into a transparent display that lets you navigate and drive while never taking your eyes off the road.  The heads-up display (HUD) uses the same technology that fighter pilots use to stay focused.  The system offers a number of apps to view such as navigational tools like GPS, street maps, traffic conditions and speed. Distracted Driving Over 424,000 drivers are injured yearly by distracted driving.  For instance, by looking back and forth between a screen on the car seat and the road.  This new piece of smart gadget technology is designed to change the dynamic and enable the driver to navigate and keep their eyes on the road for greater driving safety.

Global Race to Create the First - New Breakthrough Source:  Drawing from University of Sussex of a Laser Pulse in a Chip UK Physicists Now Steps Closer British physicists have just made a breakthrough in the development of a portable atomic clock.  Scientists from around the world have been in a race to create the first portable atomic clock.  The team at the University of Sussex has moved ahead of the competition by using cutting edge laser technology. Efficiency Improvement Their approach has greatly improved the efficiency of  the part of the clock called the lancet that does the counting.  The efficiency has been improved by 80%. Replacing Satellite Mapping like GPS According to lead researcher Dr. Allessia Pasquazi, this moves the scientific community closer to portable atomic clocks replacing satellite mapping like GPS.  The clocks work on extremely accurate geo-mapping that  enables access to your location and route without satell...
