- This 3D-printed instrument sounds like a violin, but it but doesn't quite resemble one. There's no scroll at the top, so the tuning pegs are at the chinrest. It has six strings, instead of the traditional four, allowing the instrument to reach a deeper range, like a cello. And there are four porcelain cow ribs attached to the left side of the body.
Made of plastic and porcelain, the instrument was the result of a collaboration between a musician, a mechanical engineer, and a sculptor at the University of Texas at Austin. It took them a year, and the design is intended to eventually be modified by other users.

- Description
- Alyx is a robot that teaches you emotional cues. People with autism can have a hard time navigating workplace interactions, so this robot helps them to recognize what other people are feeling.
SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/kdDpXu
Most autistic adults are unemployed. But Alyx’s creators say the problem isn't that they aren't qualified to work; rather, it's that working around others involves lots of small emotional cues that are easy for them to miss or misinterpret. Alyx was built to train people to recognize those cues.

The robot muscles are called HASEL actuators. They're strong enough to lift a gallon jug of water, and gentle enough to pick up a tiny berry without crushing it.
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder's Kiplinger Research Group are hoping these artificial muscles will help create flexible but strong robots.
