RiSE: The Amazing Climbing Robot

RiSE: The Amazing Climbing Robot
"Rise is a small six-legged robot that climbs vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences. Rise's feet have claws, micro-claws or sticky material, depending on the climbing surface. 

Rise changes posture to conform to the curvature of the climbing surface and a fixed tail helps Rise balance on steep ascents. RiSE is about 0.25 m long, weighs 2 kg, and travels 0.3 m/s..".

 "Dummy text: Its function as a filler or as a tool for comparing the visual impression of different typefaces"
"Dummy text is text that is used in the publishing industry or by web designers to occupy the space which will later be filled with 'real' content. This is required when, for example, the final text is not yet available. Dummy text is also known as 'fill text'. It is said that song composers of the past used dummy texts as lyrics when writing melodies in order to have a 'ready-made' text to sing with the melody.

Principles of geometry + AntiVJ: a stereoscopic show


"AntiVJ has been working on a new format for French retro-futurist electronic producers Principles of Geometry. Using stereoscopy (technology used in IMAX cinemas to watch visuals with 3D glasses) they produced a 50min long real-time journey through space. An exciting experience and a real visual counterpart to the band's space/epic soundtrack. Obviously you can't see the 3D effect on a regular computer screen, but we're touring with a special screen, so come and see the show to experience the Depth of 3D stereoscopic visuals."

Part of the work is based on the visualisation of GPS tracks, so linking in with another project here at CASA, Richard Milton has written a script to import GPS tracks directly into 3D Studio Max. The script imports a gpx. file and creates a spline for the path, a marker object and time frames for each point...".read more digital urban
