Blogging the future

Add a new dimension to driving with the Maverick, a car that has the capability to be both driven and flown.  The Maverick, a car originally designed for transportation in frontier areas where roads are scarce, has a top speed of 90 mph and weighs less than 1,000 pounds.  When faced with dangerous terrain, the Maverick has the ability to fly over it, thanks to its central telescopic mast.  With the flip of a switch, the engine power is diverted to a rear-mounted five-blade propeller, and the Maverick can take flight in only 300 feet.  With its driving and flying capabilities, the Maverick could be the next frontier in transportation.

A team of design engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) SENSEable City Laboratory have developed an intelligent wheel which turns a normal bike into an electric hybrid one. The Copenhagen Wheel does not require any batteries or wires, and is controlled directly through the user’s smartphone. The Copenhagen Wheel becomes a natural extension of one’s everyday life, as it constantly sends feedback about the user’s effort and supplies information such as relative humidity and road conditions.

Honda, the Japanese car manufacturer, has unveiled their new 3R-C electric vehicle concept, which was designed to address the problem of urban mobility. The 3R-C is a fully enclosed single-seat three-wheeled vehicle, powered by a lithium ion battery. Its design offers stability and even cargo space for efficient urban transport. The 3R-C’s clear canopy serves as a cover when the vehicle is not in use, and as an enveloping and protecting windshield when in motion. The vehicle offers zero emission commuting, and is an example of how we must find more eco-friendly modes of transport in our ever-growing cities.

Daniel Mellinger, Dr. Nathan Michael, and Professor Vijay Kumar are heading a project at the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP (General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception) Lab that takes the concept of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to new heights. The GRASP Lab has developed an autonomous quadcopter that can navigate through extremely small spaces, work with other quadcopters, and lift heavy objects. The quadcopter is designed for military purposes and could one help assist troops in a combat zone.
