Researchers produce polymers from ballbot-type carbenes for the first time

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are small, reactive ring molecules that bond well with metallic surfaces, and which over the past few years have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of the stable chemical modification of metallic surfaces. One property—discovered at the University of Münster in Germany a few years ago—is the ability that certain NHC derivatives have, not only to anchor themselves to individual metal atoms, but also to completely extract an individual atom from the surface. Having bonded with these so-called adatoms, the NHCs glide freely over the surface—like a ballbot, i.e., a robot that moves on a sphere. Using such "ballbot molecules," and working together with Chinese researchers, the Münster physicists and chemists have succeeded for the first time in making the halogenated NHCs produce long-chain mobile polymers—chains of molecules—on metallic surfaces. Details of the work have been published in the journal Nature Chemistry. The mobility of the ballbot-type NHCs opens up new possibilities, for example self-assembly into highly ordered domains from this type of molecule, up to cooperative, swarm-type behavior on the part of the NHCs in autonomously converting certain metallic surfaces into a different highly-ordered structure without any external influence such as light or electrons.

T3 – one of the world’s leading latest technology and gadget publications - has recognized Aido as the GameChanger product of 2016, and the T3 team called Aido “the future of home robotics, unlike anything they have reviewed so far”. 

The Aido team has already raised 250,000$+ in pre-orders on Indiegogo, with pledges starting from $499, backers can expect to receive their robots by October 2016. This follows two previous rounds of funding from leading angel investors. The Aido team has been overwhelmed by the response so far, with an impressive 900 units already reserved. 

The market for consumer and business robotics industry is forecast to explode in the next few years, driven by growing number of smart homes/devices, cheaper and more powerful latest technology components and rapid acceptance of home robotics products. A recent report from Business Insider Intelligence predicted the market for consumer and business robots to be $1.5 billion by 2019. 

Aido was built with new age user needs in mind. Aido has an interactive projector system, advanced speech recognition, face detection, object recognition, scene recognition, a unique dual tech battery (half lead-acid and half nickel-cadmium – to provide all day battery life), a rich range of sensors, patrol mode with intruder alerts, a companion app on Android or iOS, an incredible personal AI & seamless integration with all home automation and security needs. 

Says Hisham, “Aido is the next generation of home robots: A state-of-the-art machine with unlimited possibilities launching at an incredibly attractive price point.”

Key specifications:

Total height: 914 mm | Net weight: 8 Kg | 4 degree of motion | Ballbot based mobility

Key Use Cases:

Play the perfect entertainer

Aido comes with two projectors: an interactive head projector that can track gestures, and an optional HD multimedia projector that’s designed for watching movies. With a 2” woofer, dual tweeters & a 10-watt amplifier, Aido can stream and play your favorite videos on any surface through its projector for a great home theatre experience.

Make home smarter and life easier

Aido supports WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee, DLNA and Z-Wave standards to connect and control over 10000 devices. Its inbuilt infrared module lets it control your TV, music system and other devices with just your voice. You can also set schedules with Aido’s visual Workflow manager to automate activities. (eg: you can ask Aido to lock your home, set your room temperature and switch off lights when you say goodnight to Aido)

Get help with chores at home

Aido is preloaded with a suite of home assistance apps that show recipe suggestions and step-by-step instructions, keep track of food you eat, maintain a list of items to purchase, and more. Aido can project video instructions for DIY projects. You can easily pause/play instructions using voice commands or gestures.

I was able to commission KLN (BallBots on Twitter if you want to check him out!) to draw everyone’s favorite werespider, Luka! :D Check it out!

She’s taking Pixel for a test drive. <3

KLN has worked on Game Grumps animations, and did the music video for NSP’s Release the Kraken. I was super-excited to get a commission from him.

CMU Ballbot by Ralph Hollis at Carnegie Mellon University (2005) is a dynamically-stable mobile robot designed to balance on a single spherical wheel - a ball. Having a single point of contact with the ground, Ballbot is omnidirectional and thus highly manoeuvrable. Looking like a giant ballpoint pen, it has an approximately human stature enabling it to work within the human environment. This gives it a high centre of gravity, but the control system is robust enough to handle this, as well as collisions with furniture and walls. Dynamic stability is achieved by making continual corrections to its body attitude based on data from its solid-state gyroscopes. Movement in any direction is, in effect, a controlled fall. The Ballbot concept appears  in fiction as Serge the robot butler of the Graystone Family in the Battlestar Galactica spin-off series, Caprica.

I'm bored so I'm gonna make a list of some SFM animations I loved in high school

GLaDOS Returns (Part 1) (Part 2) by Scapir: The animation is pretty basic but the plot is very intriguing, which sadly ends on a cliffhanger. It starts off with ATLAS waking up in a dark room and running into GLaDOS...then things get weird.

ATLAS Forgets and Halloween by LGBRRR: Like GLaDOS Returns the animation is pretty basic, but this time the plot's kinda easy to understand. The former animation has ATLAS forgetting (obviously) about the Reassembly Machine after P-body dies during a test, while the latter has GLaDOS pulling a prank on the Bots.

Simple Bots by Camcooney: As the title states, it's just a simple, short animation of the Co-op Bots. Just wait until ATLAS appears.

Do Ballbots Dream Of Electric Sheep? By Nasty Midnight Productions: A very story-driven animation with awesome graphics. Manages to be sad but kinda trippy at the same time. Basically answers the question "What if the Co-op Bots could die permanently?"

Lost In The Woods by PluffyFX: Another story-driven animation with a great setting and graphics. The Co-Op Bots are wandering around outside and stumble upon a locked box, with an unexpected ending. Also there's a very mild scare at the end.

Wrong Floor, Assembly Cut, Abandoned by Zachariah Scott: The original, scrapped version of the Wrong Floor series. Basically an alternate interpretation of Chassis!Wheatley finding the Co-Operative Testing Initiative, then ATLAS and P-body escape and come up with a plan to take him down. There's a few errors and it ends on a cliffhanger, but otherwise you'd have no idea it was unfinished.

Through The Wormhole by MustPlay Mike: A cartoonish, silly animation about P-body...trying to open a hole in the time-space continuum? The dialogue, albeit hilarious, is a bit hard to understand. There's a scene with the Bots staring into the camera with flashing lights in the background so if that unnerves you just skip 0:36-1:01.

キルミーベイベーED　ふたりのきもちのほんとのひみつ by IzzyWulf ALT: Literally the Kill Me Baby! Ending but with the Co-op Bots in place of the main characters, and BOY there's a lot of attention to detail. I have no idea how it works but it just DOES. I'm losing it over the mental image of P-body being an assassin.

Enough by Salty Phish: Another scrapped film, this time about the concept of the Co-op Bots meeting Chell. It explores the possibility of there being other human test subjects besides Chell as well. The Co-op Bots' reactions to both are very interesting.
