Wall Climbing Robots developed at Ben Gurion University

In this video we present four types of wall climbing robots that were developed in Dr. Amir Shapiros lab at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. The robots shown are: First, a magnetic climber that has compliant magnetic wheels and is capable to climb on ferromagnetic surfaces. This robot can be used for inspection of ship hull or bridges. Second, is a Snail inspired wall climbing robot capable of climbing on non metallic surfaces using hot melt glue. The robot secretes the adhesive at the front and peels off the track from the wall at the bottom leaving a trail behind just like the snail does. Third, is a robot that uses sticky wheels in order to attach itself to the wall. It simply has 3Ms sticky tape on the wheels. It can climb on smooth surfaces like glass. Fourth, is a four legged wall climbing robot for climbing on rough surfaces. It has 12 claws made of fishing hooks mounted on each footpad, and it climbs like cat or other rodents.(VIDEO)

Windows 7 kills batteries

Microsoft investigates

By Nick Farrell

BIT TWIDDLER Microsoft is investigating complaints that its Windows 7 operating system seems to eat batteries for lunch.

Complaints are starting to show up on various blogs where people are complaining that their batteries are going down faster than the Titanic. This is a bit of a problem for the Vole because Windows 7 is marketed with claims that it actually prolongs battery life.
