Robot Child Pulling.

Hmm equal parts strange to sinister. No doubt a lot of time and effort and money went into making this little swarm of bots, all for a scared child.

How unfortunate.

Exoskeleton

Ian Atkins — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:09:59 GMT

This is for Dave, after his blog post about the Honda walking support robot. This is the american version, designed by Sarcos, its predictably slightly more extreme. Also worth noting this is a year old, so who knows what development has happened since.

At 1:27 check Steve Emero, an employee of the company Sarcos, lie like a baby... oh im so tired...

The video below is of mathew plummer-fernadez's new light; made with little computer cooling fans, and is soon to be reactive to its environment.

A few reference images for our upcoming workshop, Kredit Krunch.

"Social stationary" makes me picture wonderful things.

Honda's Walking Assist Device

David Wilson — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:18:04 GMT

Reminds me of Wallace And Gromit's "the wrong trousers". It's just one step (excuse the pun) closer to absolute dependance on machines. Leg muscles soften and become no longer able to support our increasingly obese bodies. I have this image of humans becoming like massive oranges with two strings dangling out of the bottom. I see this more benefiting people who are unable to walk and if they market it towards that demographic they could have had a great product on their hands.

Sad Dad Of The Week

David Wilson — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:49:34 GMT

I think this should be a regular feature... this one belongs to a buddhist monk high up in the mountains. Clearly the cold weather has had no effect in shrinking it (and for all those not in the KithKin circle of stupid words, a sad dad is a phallus) Gives a whole new meaning to the word bell-end. for more information on Sad Dad visit the link below:

Jemapur - Maledict Car (dir. Kosai Sekine) I know this has been around for a while but it's just one of the most perfect things ever.

Smooth Nylon Shrimp

David Wilson — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:07:23 GMT

It's Dave's CraaAAAazy animal of the week. This one defends itself by ejecting a cloud of blue bio-luminescent liquid thus blinding its predator so it can escape.

Covent Garden: Change Of Location.

Ian Atkins — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:20:18 GMT

The DesignersBlock popup shop has changed location.

Photographs give no real idea of space, so a viewing
this week is on the cards. KK people lets meet this
week to develop. Looking at these perhaps the Kredit
Krunch is better suited to an odd pokey space?

For other normal people ignore this random little
selection of images, for now...
