Kenyan inventors David Gathu and Moses Kinyua had to drop out of university due to lack of means to pay tuition fees. This did not seem to be a hindrance for these robotics enthusiasts.
They created a robotic arm made of several materials, including recycled wood, and controlled by brain signals. These signals are converted into electrical current by a bio-potential headset « NeuroNode ». This electrical current allows the arm to move vertically and horizontally.

« It is a biorobotic upper limb arm prosthesis that uses brain signals for the hand to move it according to your wishes. This biorobotic hand uses these brain signals, amplifies them, filters them and converts them into electrical current, which is further pushed to the robot’s circuitry, which means it can convert users’ thoughts into movement. »

David Gathu

The next step for the two young inventors is to find the necessary funds for larger scale production of their invention.

With more than 21 million cars sold, the Volkswagen Beetle has undoubtedly been one of the most popular cars since the beginning of its production in 1938. Numerous artists and mechanical enthusiasts have reinterpreted its design, adding their personal touch and recreating it.

By adapting the wings of an old beetle with an engine and chassis he built, Brent Walter created two adorable little motorcycles that he called Volkspod. People could discover his invention on instagram where he regularly communicates on the progress of his project.

“The original (green) has a 79cc motor and is more for looks than it is practical. The second (blue) one has more ground clearance and a 212cc motor. It is more practical to ride around on the road,” said Brent to Bored Panda
