Prioritizing Pedestrians If you step on the curb on this street of the future, a pedestrian crossing will automatically appear in front of you when it’s safe to cross. If a crowd wants to cross simultaneously, the crossing widens; if you’re staring at a smartphone and veers into traffic, warning lights illuminate around you. Over time, the system learns the shortcuts people take across the street, and reshapes the crossing to fit those natural paths. The idea was inspired by ants. Honest. Source: FastCompany

RoboBees

What is four centimeters wide and weighs 15 grams? A robotic bee. These tiny drones, covered in horsehair and coated in a special sticky gel, are designed to help pollinate crops when bees are scarce. While they may not be economically feasible on a large scale, they’re still cool. Source: New Scientist You can see them in action at BusinessCentralMagazine.com
