And scientists in Taipei have developed a smart tooth sensor that monitors your oral

hygiene including flossing habits and smoking and reports them to your dentist.

Vsauce! Kevin here. This is Mind Blow.

This is a living creature that looks like a rock. It's completely immobile and it eats

by sucking in water and filtering out microorganisms. It reproduces by throwing clouds of sperm

and eggs into the water to make more living rock babies.  So yeah.

SmileDrive is gameifying driving.  Volkswagen and Google have combined to create a social

app that awards stickers for unlocking achievements such as a 100 mile trip or passing someone

driving the same model car as you. It works with any car and even has a feature called

SmileCast that creates a travelogue of pictures and posts during your trip and collects them

on a single URL.

The Online Electric Vehicle or OLEV seeks to make public transportation cleaner for

the environment by using buses powered by a power line installed under the road. The

battery is only used in emergency situations with the high-efficiency onboard pickup device

using what they call segmentation control technology that only powers those segments

of the line the vehicle at that time needs to move.  They're still working it make it

more efficient so they can make it commercially available.

Høvding is an airbag for bicyclists.  Designed as a master thesis at the University of Lund

in Sweden - the idea was to create a protective device for adults who hate wearing helmets.

It's worn as a collar around your neck that can be stylishly hidden with a scarf but inflates

to protect the head in the event of an accident. Check out the website for more.

Created at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, the deployable air land exploration robot

or DALER is a robot designed to fly and walk on its wings. By using the wings on rough

terrain instead of legs the amount of mass is minimized and the lighter weight allows

for greater flight performance. It has the ability to move on different surfaces, climb

high obstacles, and navigate rough terrains. 

On Land Or On Sea. Amphibious RV. Sorry.

A remote medical care robot is being developed at Waseda University that will allow emergency

personnel to check for internal injuries before the patient gets to the hospital. The device

can be attached to the patient while on the way to the hospital and a doctor can control

it from a remote location. They're starting with remote pregnancy check up and are hoping

to have it used in practical applications within three years. 

The Crabster CR200 is a six-legged underwater robot developed by the Korean Institute of

Ocean Science and Technology. It was designed to reach places that current propelled designs

can't because of strong currents, giving it the ability to easily walk along the ocean

floor. It takes 4 people to operate and uses the front legs that are equipped with manipulators

to grasp things similar to a real crab and it can stay on the sea floor for days at a

time. 

Enevo has come up with a way to make collecting trash more efficient with a sensor that alerts

trash collectors when a dumpster is full - so they're not wasting time and energy picking

up half dumpsters. It's called One-collect and it uses real time fill level information

and advanced algorithms to calculate the best route so companies are only collecting the

full containers each day. And it's said to save 20-40% in costs.

TVILight are developing intelligent street lighting for up to 80% energy savings, 50%

maintenance cost reduction, lower carbon footprint and a reduction in light pollution.  Using

plug and play wireless sensors the lights dim to pre-defined levels during off-peak

hours unless a human is detected and individual lights can be remotely monitored and controlled.

They also adjust due to weather conditions and return to normal operating mode in the

event of a system failure.

Animal Jewelry project to show the fashion industry that fur is alive.

German researchers successfully froze light for a minute. Basically, they shot a laser

through a crystal which sent its atoms into two states and then switched off the first

laser with a second beam and trapped the second laser beam inside - stopping light. Got that?

And this is a huge step in building light-based quantum memory.

Scientists at Wake Forest University's Military Research Center are developing a method to

print skin cells onto burn wounds. By taking the healthy cells of a patient grown in an

incubator they're able to put them into an empty cartridge and print them directly onto

the skin. A camera and laser is used to scan the burn and create a 3D map of the wound

and the computer then tells the printer how many and what type of skin cells are needed

to fill each area of the wound, where they then become new skin cells.

University of Michigan engineers have created stretchable conductors using polyurethane

studded with gold nano particles. The material conducts electricity even while stretched

and could be used in the future in flexible electronics and gentler medical devices. 

Finally, Crystals is an audio visual collaboration using stop motion photography that captured

crystals growing under a microscope. And it was made by artist Bruno Levy and DJ Kate

Simko

I'm gonna leave you with a robot displaying animal like step reflexes. And as always - thanks

for watching.

Make sure that you follow me on Twitter at VsauceTwo. Where I share things that aren't

in videos like this frog holding a leaf umbrella.

And other mind blowing stuff. So go do it now.

Okay?

Go do it now.
