Robotic Fish Feeder Saves Lives

Filed under: Design, Robots, Science

The most common demise of fish is due to negligence. If you go through life with a “can’t someone else do it” attitude, like myself, then pets really aren’t your bailiwick. Fish of all pets are the easiest to maintain and yet, some people can’t keep a goldfish alive longer than a week.

With Fifer, the fish feeding robot, fish finally get the attention they deserve.  Fifer calculates the density of fish in the water. It’ll send out sound waves to attract the fish then dispense the right amount of food.  This will train the fish into approaching the robot have them associate the sound waves with feeding time. There is also a plant on top which grows to represent the health of your fish. Fish need lovin’ too you know.

InchWorm Shoes Grow As Fast As Children

Your kid isn’t getting any smaller. Which means there is no going back to their old shoes, it’s always about a new pair, and then a new one, and yet another new one. You  get your kid a pair of new sneakers and the next week they go through a growing spurt which leaves their heels unable to fit into the snug shoe.

InchWorms show accommodate the constantly growing kid by growing along with your child’s foot. The only thing you have to worry about it keeping them interested in the same old design, and making sure they don’t tear a hole in the sole. — Andrew Dobrow
