A robotic hand is basically sensors with high degrees of repeatability, precision, and reliability and thus sensors play an important role in a robotic hand. Flex sensor and accelerometer are such devices, which accomplish the above task with a great degree of accuracy.
In climates that endure cold and freezing temperatures, a common problem is the need to "deice" windshields before safely driving. In this invention, a pair of comparative temperature sensors would monitor glass temp, and if activated, this system would begin wiping the liquified (melted) water off of the windshield before,
Lively car is an interactive sitting balance bike designed for preschoolers which has two major characteristics: helping to train children's leg muscles and the education of children's daily life common sense.
It intrigues children in space and objects through the games and further develop interactive learning via transparent screen and AR techniques.
Restaurants produce a large amount of edible waste oil. Some owners would pour it into the river which causes pollution in the soil and water.
Oil Bubble is a cleaning liquid maker that recycles and reuses waste oil. Making cleaning liquid by pouring the waste oil into Oil Bubble and adding water, natural foaming agent, and thickener.
A portable steamer that can turn water to steam in a split second and further help improve coughing and phlegmatic retention problems of lungs.
With the worsening of air pollution, our lungs generate sputum to isolate particles from invading as a self-protection when polluted air is inhaled. The situation resulted in increasingly serious coughing.
