Researchers at Case Western University in Ohio, US, are using robots equipped with a cross between wheels and legs — called “whegs” — to test a new material that mimics the gravity-defying feet of geckos and insects.
This video shows a flying robot with whegs as well as retractable wings.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (Krishna Shenoy, Stanford University)
Krishna Shenoy is creating “brain-computer interfaces” that will enable paralyzed patients to control prosthetic arms and computer cursors. In this short talk, Shenoy describes how his team of Stanford researchers has built a system that achieves typing at 15 words-per-minute, just by “thinking about it”.

Discover Binghamton- The Premier Public University
Binghamton University, the best public university in the northeast. Period.In a little over 60 years, Binghamton University has built a reputation as a world-class institution that combines a broadly interdisciplinary, international education with one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation. Binghamton is proud to be a “premier public university,” which means we challenge our students academically, not financially. The result is a unique, best-of-both-worlds college experience. Our academic culture rivals a first-rate private university – rigorous, collaborative and boldly innovative — while our campus culture exemplifies the best kind of public university experience: richly diverse students, active social life and deep engagement with the community. Our students, both undergraduate and graduate, work one-on-one with an exceptional faculty that includes Pulitzer Prize winners and groundbreaking scholars. They take advantage of special academic opportunities like combined degrees, foreign language study groups and an unparalleled international education program.
“Discover Binghamton The Premier Public University,” was shown to and praised by the new State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.
The video showcases Binghamtons achievements as a world-class institution that combines a broadly interdisciplinary, international education with one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation. This video enabled us with the ability to tell Binghamtons story in a very compelling and visual way while capturing the spirit of achievement at Binghamton, said Interim University ociate VP for Communications and Marketing Greg Delviscio. We were also fortunate to find students, faculty and staff who were able to ist with the production from start to finish.
An online video title competition was launched where participants could submit and vote for title ideas. During filming, the campus community seemed intrigued as well as curious to see the final outcome so we decided to make them part of the process by giving them a say in what the video title should be, said Ryan Yarosh, istant Director of Media Relations and Video Project Director. The video, which was filmed and edited over the course of several weeks, includes aerial footage of campus as well as interviews with students, faculty and staff.
