    This document discusses several emerging technologies including 3D printed bones, turning dead organisms into robots, sand batteries, and brain reading robots. Specifically, it summarizes that Ossiform 3D prints patient-specific bone replacements using MRI scans. Researchers at Rice University are experimenting with turning dead spiders into robot claws. Finnish engineers have discovered a way to store energy in sand piles for long-term use. Finally, a team at EPFL created a system that uses brain signals and machine learning to allow disabled people to control a robot arm.

    3D PRINTED BONES

    • company Ossiform  patient-specific replacements of


    different bones
    • How is it done?
     hospital performs an MRI
     the results are sent to Ossiform
     the 3D model is created and can then be used in surgery
    NECROBOTICS
    • turning dead things into robots
    • Rice University
    • still in its early stages
    • team of researchers managed to turn a dead spider
    into a robot-like claw
    SAND BATTERIES
    • simple, yet extremely effective
    • Finnish engineers found a way to turn sand into a
    source of enegry
    • can be stored this way for a long time
     piled sand into a steel container and heated it up
     could then be distributed to provide warmth to the
    nearby area
    BRAIN READING ROBOTS
    • EPFL  managed to create a way for disabled people to
    interact with the world
     using a machine-learning algorithm, a robot arm and a
    brain-computer interface
    • HOW DOES IT WORK?
     the algorithm interprets signals sent from the brain
    using an EEG cap
     over time the algorithm adjusts to the individual
