The European Union CoCoRo research consortium has been developing three varieties of autonomous underwater robots that school together like fish. By doing so, the little bots can share and learn from each others' "knowledge" of their environment, acting as a collective cognitive system.

The city of Seattle saw a robotic population explosion this week as the 2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) descended on the Washington State Convention Center.

San Francisco-based Stereolabs has launched a new 3D camera that promises to deliver high quality 3D image capture at a less than astronomical price. The compact, lightweight ZED 3D vision sensor can measure distances out to 20 meters (65 feet) and work indoors and out.

There are already bicycle "running lights" that plug into the ends of the handlebars, providing side visibility when cycling at night. HueRay takes that same idea but makes it sturdier and more self-contained, with silicone bar grips that incorporate their own high-intensity LEDs.

An extraordinary auction took place last month in Cuba, Missouri. Five buildings full of old motorcycles, cars, outboard motors and antique advertising signage went under the hammer – all without reserve.

It would seem that the tiny market for giant, world-traveling expedition vehicles is growing a little less tiny. Just a few months after showing the near-seven-figure Global XRS 7200, Action Mobil is now going after a different (still well-heeled) buyer with its entry-level Pure series.

Lenovo has used its first global technology event to imagine a not-too-distant future where you can gauge somebody's mood by their footwear, smartphones cater to your PC needs and smartwatch screens are stretched to 20 times their size.

The Awair smart home device constantly monitors the air quality based on a user's personal preferences. It measures the temperature, humidity, and levels of dust, CO2, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the air, and makes recommendations based on its findings.

As electronic devices are becoming outdated at an increasingly fast pace, e-waste continues to be a huge problem. That's why scientists have started producing "wooden" semiconductor chips that could almost entirely biodegrade once left in a landfill.

Lomography has launched its latest decidedly quirky Art-series lens, the New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control Art Lens, on Kickstarter. The new 58-mm brass lens allows users to create and control swirly bokeh thanks to a new bokeh control ring mechanism.

At the inaugural CES Asia show, Audi made the R8 e-tron even more high-tech, rolling its autonomous driving suite into the electric coupe. The R8 e-tron piloted driving concept can unleash 456-hp worth of performance on the street ... without a driver.

Most of the equipment we saw at Overland Expo came in large, XL and XXXL sizes, but there were also a few interesting accessories on show. The Solavore Sport oven is a simple cooking device that transforms the sun's rays into baking and slow-cooking heat.
