Hyundai Aebulle: Cocoon on Wheels


This is a very interesting concept created especially with the name of this project is the "Hyundai Aebulle" concept car. The idea was to design a motorcycle while offering the safety a cocoon offers a butterfly.
The Aubulle designed come to utilize commuter lanes and allow the passengers of the Aebulle to make a quick commute. The Aubulle is 105.7 inches long, approximately the same size as the 2010 Corvette. Suspension similar to a dodge tomahawk, Front wheels on separate independent swing arms, allowing for extreme turning. The Aebulle is made up of a magnesium frame which wraps around the driver as well as an aluminum oxynitride glass that acts as the frontal cockpit area.

This glass has embedded an E-ink which offers a new way of allowing the user control over his/her radio, GPS and other similar functions. These controls can be modified by the user to fit their individual needs.
Inside the Aebulle the seating position is fixed so the gas and brake pedals hang from the steering column and adjust to the drivers’ position. Upon entering and exiting the vehicle the center steering column lifts upward with the glass cockpit to provide the user room for entry. The concept is powered by lithium batteries stored in the floor board of the vehicle which power small electric motors inside each wheel. The Aebulle continues Hyundai’s strategy with the Genesis by not making their logo apparent on the exterior of the vehicle but present on the center of the steering wheel.

Twendy-One, A robotic helping hand to the elderly


Japan be the country at have the research and develop robots to assist the elderly with everything from exercise and independent living to shopping. And this is an example of a robot helper to join the fray designed to support aging people in their daily activities.

Twendy-One is human symbiotic robot that has designed to co-exist with humans and assist with nursing care and housekeeping.

Twendy-One have design the body makes of soft silicone skins and force sensors that detect physical contact with a person on any part of its body, size and range of movement are designed to reflect those of the average adult female. It measures 1.46m high and 73.4cm wide. To overcome the limitations and difficulties of a bipedal design then design gave it an omni-directional wheel-based mechanism for mobility that allows the robot to move around efficiently even if the robot is in a narrow space. This mobile mechanism equips twelve ultrasonic sensors and a six-axis force sensor to detect objects and humans near the robot and avoid collisions.

Beside, Twendy-One still participate assemble other that important, neither be finger and hands that have four-finger-hand has 13 degrees of freedom. An arm from shoulder to elbow has four degrees of freedom with a small and lightweight. The trunk which has four degrees of freedom in total with high power actuators installed into the joints enabling it to pick up a heavy object on the floor and even support a human body weighing up to 35kg as they get out of bed or get up from a chair. And last, a head of Twendy-One contains two CCD cameras surrounded by LEDs, a speaker, and a six-axis force sensor. The illumination of the LEDs shows the condition of the robot’s vision system, while the force sensor can detect a human touch of the head
Twendy-One is a robot that was has the research and development by a team of Waseda University led by Professor Shigeki Sugano along with the cooperation of more than 20 private companies.
Upon release the finalized robot is expected to cost between US$110,350 to US$220,700
