Toyota creates robots to help disabled persons

Technology is increasingly becoming incorporated into every single aspect of human life. And it has been of immense help and use in many areas. For instance, advancement in robotics has enabled us to speed up the manufacturing and other industrial processes. Moreover, robots can also assist humans in an individual capacity.
For instance, Toyota has unveiled a new robot called Human Support Robot (HSR) which is meant to help the disabled persons around their home, aiding them in common tasks.
Controlling HSR is very easy. You can do so simply by interacting with an easy-to-use UI on a tablet. The best part about HSR is that it comes with an arm as well as a gripper. This renders it capable of performing a number of tasks which are usually regarded as trivial but can be very important for a person with disabilities.
The height of the robot is adjustable, ranging from 2.7 to 4.3 feet. Moreover, the arm length is 2.5 feet but when the arm is not engaged, it neatly folds tightly against the body. The maximum speed of the robot is 1.8 miles per hour which is fairly adequate for indoor movements.
However, the robot is still kind of a proof-of-concept and we can expect it to be commercially available only a few years from now.

If the photo above looks familiar, it’s because you’ve probably seen a similar keyboard case for the iPhone 4/4S before. The good news is that this particular model has been created for the iPhone 5 in mind and in case it wasn’t obvious enough, it adds a slideout QWERTY keyboard for those who prefer tactile feedback instead of tapping away on the onscreen keyboard.
Dubbed the Keyboard Buddy, this keyboard case will pair with your iPhone via Bluetooth 2.0 and will be powered by its own battery, which apparently will last you up to two weeks on a single charge – pretty impressive we have to admit. The battery is rechargeable via micro USB and will set you back $90. Previously keyboard cases tend to add quite a bit of bulk to the iPhone, but given that the iPhone 5 is not only lighter and thinner, perhaps adding the Keyboard Buddy to the mix might not be as obtrusive as you might think.

                  Gold and Rose Gold iPhone 5  |  from 17,000 Dhs  |  www.goldandco.co.uk

With millions of iPhone 5 being snapped up as we speak, millions of folks will be using the exact same phone as you, much to the displease of the individualist in you, however, you could change that and outshine the rest of the ‘commoner’s’ iPhone 5 with the 24 karat gold-plated Gold and Rose Gold iPhone 5 offered up by London-based gold-plating specialist, Gold & Co. This pair of luxe up gadgets will be officially unveiled at the Collector’s Palace in Dubai Mall on the September 27, with official sale via Gold & Co. Authorized dealers including Damas in the Middle East, Evolve Lifestyle Group in India, as well as G&C London office (not to be confused with GNC – just thought we should clear the air) in Hong Kong. The Gold & Co.’s creation is available in a choice of 24k gold or rose gold with each custom handset individually numbered and comes in a handcrafted wooden box, complete with a certificate of authenticity. As for the price, expect the yellow gold and black model to wipe out 17,000 Dhs (around US$4,630) from your bank account, while the rose gold and white model will set you back at a slightly dearer 18,500 Dhs (about US$5,040) a piece – Making this duo as the most expensive iPhone 5 to date.

Honestly, even though we could not afford them, those price tags didn’t really knock us off our feet as we have read and heard of way more outrageously priced custom iPhone 4/4S before. Speaking of which, we are guessing many luxe makers will be churning out even more heavily luxe up and ridiculously priced iPhone 5 pretty soon.
