Now you can bake a slice of that cake yourself too. What you see up there is a robotic flower that uses a revolutionary standardized robotic platform called Qwerk. Developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Qwerk is designed so that almost anyone can use it to build his or her own custom Internet-enabled robot. Cool init?

Imagine this. One moment, you are drawing something in thin air. You try to design your own furniture. After a day, what you draw out of the thin air has materialized. An exact replica of the furniture that you draw is surprisingly placed at your own midst. Detail by detail. Piece by piece. How come? Thanks to modern technology, the Rapid Prototyping Technique perfected by the Swedish FRONT design team can now produce furniture that you draw in just a day. While you create your masterpiece in thin air, programmed cameras will take shots of your drawing and interpret it on a computer. After that, the computer sends the information on a “furniture” mold and lasers will cut and adjust the furniture according to your scribbles. Voila! The furniture is made just like magic. (SePh)
