15 High Tech Innovations Helping Humans Accomplish Incredible Feats

Neill Lynskey Published 13 hours ago in ftw

Everyone’s afraid of technology surpassing humans, but in many ways, it already have.

Engineers, architects and scientists are creating things that genuinely feel too high-concept to be a reality, yet they are. There are countless robots performing surgeries, drones that deliver vital medical care, exoskeletons lowering the chance of work injuries, revolutionary environmental tech, and a lot more.

The future is here, and it isn’t always so dark and dystopian.

1. ‘The da Vinci’ surgical robot
One of the most widely used devices to assist doctors in laparoscopic surgery.
2. Swarm bots
These are individual, miniature robots that can be programmed to organize themselves for rapid construction and other work.
3. Device to detect the health of nature
Architect Pavels Hedström has developed the Gaia Communication System, a wearable vest and a pair of gloves with sensors so that users feel the health of plants, insects, soil, air, and more.
4. Amphibious ‘Crosser’
Designer Bernardo Pereira’s has developed an autonomous amphibious vehicle that can drive in water when there’s a traffic jam on the road.
5. The Archax
A Japanese manufacturer has developed a real-life piloted mech-suit, which is on sale now for three-million dollars.
6. Solar satellites
China is developing satellites outfitted with solar panels that can remotely transfer the energy back to Earth.
7. Flexible solar cells
Researchers from the University of Sheffield are developing flexible solar power technology that absorbs far more sunlight than the traditional rigid panels.
8. Dissolvable plastic
The RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science is developing eco-friendly plastic that will dissolve in saltwater to reduce ocean pollution.
9. 3D printed ceramic sculptures for preserving insects.
Artist Raphaël Emine has designed sculptures that double as habitat for insects and small wildlife.
10. John Deere’s Walking Tractor Timberjack
A high-tech logger designed for traversing rugged forests.
11. ‘The Hugo’ Robotic Assisted Surgery Device
A modular robotic surgical platform designed for various surgical procedures.
12. Survival Research Labs’ Spine Robot
A mechanical tentacle being developed to give future robotic tech more precision and diversity in movement.
13. Fortis Exoskeleton
An exoskeleton designed to mimic human joints and assist in heavy-duty construction work.
14. Guardian GT
A robot with two dexterous, seven-foot long arms designed for complex maneuvers and heavy lifting.
15. FlyPulse Ambulance Drone
A remotely-operated drone fitted with a defibrillator to save lives on-scene.
