Technology

So this is a weird but ridiculously cool one. Anker Innovations – a well-known worldwide brand with a solid reputation in power banks, chargers, and cables – has a sub-brand called Eufy – and it's built the very first desktop-sized 3D texture printer for home projects.

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for massive magnetic coils and other systems.

Kodak is probably best associated with film photography, but the distinctive brand logo can be found elsewhere – including on smart projectors. The latest is a portable 1080p pico projector packing Google TV and a big battery.

Earlier this year, Aurzen took to Kickstarter (and CES) with a snazzy portable projector made up of three components connected via hinges so that users didn't need to carry a tripod stand. We've been getting bendy with one for the last few weeks.

Quadruped "robot dogs" may move quite a bit like their canine counterparts on land, but they're not nearly as good at swimming (although some can walk underwater). Such is not the case with a new mini-dog-bot, however, which is an expert at doing the dog-paddle.

If you're releasing a robot into the aquatic environment with no intention of retrieving it, that bot had better be biodegradable. Swiss scientists have gone a step better, with a li'l robot that can be consumed by fish when its job is done.

SiFly says its drones fly 4X longer, 10X farther, 10X quieter and carry 5X more payload than the competition, while manufacturing in the USA at China-competitive prices. And they don't need parachutes. We asked how... Here's the secret sauce!

An alarming video appears to depict one of humanity's worst nightmares coming true: a killer robot going rogue. The clip features a humanoid robot malfunctioning, flailing its appendages wildly, and getting almost too close for comfort to two humans.

Space-starved folks looking for a cinematic solution to replace the living room TV may find a good fit in ultra-short-throw projectors. Optoma's latest model delivers "incredible brightness and true-to-life color in a new compact design."

Unitree has launched a modified version of its B2 quadruped aimed at putting out fires. Able to host various use-specific modules, the robodog hauls a powerful water cannon high-flow and can operate in extreme environments.
