MIT's Reconfigurable Robots Are Tiny Transformers That Will Turn Into Anything

MIT's Reconfigurable Robots Are Tiny Transformers That Will Turn Into Anything | leapmind | Scoop.it
The idea of transformers is cool even when they just turn from one thing to another, so how much cooler would they be if they could form into anything?
Braden Costin's curator insight, March 21, 10:07 PM

The website contains a small amount of information on a recently developed technology that is still in the early stages of developemnt. The Reconfigurable robots once completed should be able to transform into any tool on command, this would make them invaluable.

Hayden Theuerkauf's curator insight, March 21, 10:21 PM

This website contains information about technology that is just starting to emerge. This will allow tiny robots to transform into anything that is needed and could be invaluable in the near future and could change our world completely.

The Internet of Things and Change - Will You Be Ready For The M2M World?

The Internet of Things and Change - Will You Be Ready For The M2M World? | leapmind | Scoop.it
The Internet of Things, the Connected World, the Smart Planet… All these terms indicate that the number of devices connected to, communicating through, and building relationships on the Internet has exceeded the number of humans using the Internet.

Deutsche Telekom eyes ‘internet of things’ with new M2M portal

Deutsche Telekom eyes ‘internet of things’ with new M2M portal | leapmind | Scoop.it
Deutsche Telekom has positioned itself as a potential leader in the continuing development of the ‘internet of things’, opening a new developer community platform for M2M communications.

 

Enmeshing everyday systems and appliances into the internet of things is seen as a natural progression of today’s increasingly connected lifestyle. With around five billion M2M devices currently operations worldwide and ten times as many are expected by 2020, the operator wants a slice of this pie.

 

Alarm systems, for instance, might be monitored online using the appropriate M2M API, which a developer could mesh with the operator’s API for SMS, using it to notify users by text message when the alarm is triggered. The same principle can be applied to toasters, pets, cars, clothing... you name it, there’s probably an M2M use case for it.
