Swarming Robots and Awesome Train

Hi. I'm back from my few days of struggling with my finals. I've missed a lot, so i'll try to update as many news as i can in these few days of freedom.

1. Cool Swarming Robot to boost Wi-fi Signal



This is still a CONCEPT though. The idea came from a team of scientists at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology thought how important is the Wi-Fi signal during or after a disastrous event. Think about how awful it is to have terrorists attacking your communication system, or when a person is trapped and couldn't find a signal to call someone for help, or if you are out in the wood and there's bear or wolf or dogs, i believe then you'll think how good it is to have Wi-Fi signal. 

The team said, these "swarming micro air vehicles" can establish wi-fi powerful enough so that the rescuer can establish an essential contact. Each of these tiny robots will have transmitter in its wing to emit wireless signal, and by having a swarm of tiny robots, i believe the wifi connection will be strong enough to transmit data in terms of video, voice or images. (We need this in Malaysia, specifically UTP cause the connection sucks and these tiny robots may help in boosting our wifi connection.)


2. Modern, Attractive and Sophisticated Subway


Well, some of us may have to use the subway everyday. And if twenty years of life the subway still looks the same, i bet everyone will be tired of it. But don't worry, designer Yves Lombardet has the solution for this problem, using his Metronomie Concept (I'm sorry, they don't explain WTH is this metronomie concept).


Basically, he only make the subway interesting by adding different layout of the train cart, different colors, element of interest and etc. The idea is not that bad but it can be improved. You can put different layout for the cart so that the customer feels the urge to ride a train just to feel the difference in cart layout. And instead of town facts, try to install a HD TV in there and let the user watch things like video of the day from other sources like youtube (Please don't show Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black or otherwise the TV will be broken).

I think this one is also good for Malaysians, well if not, i think it is good for me. Cause i'm tired of looking at the same layout and out-of-date movie promotion in our commuter. I think this is it for quick update. Will come back with more amazing stories for you to read!!
