Dodge ZEO Concept Car Unveiled

The Dodge ZEO is a 2+2 sports car concept powered by an all-electric drivetrain. The powertrain consists of a 64 kilowatt-hour, lithium-ion battery pack driving a 200 kilowatt (268 horsepower) electric motor turning the rear wheels. This setup gives the Dodge ZEO a 0-60 mph time of just 5.7 seconds, while also allowing for a 250 mile range.

The exterior design of the ZEO was Inspired in part by the architecture of a Möbius strip. The rakish A-pillars curve into extended roof rails that twist and converge as they move rearward. The windshield glass continues in an unbroken, curving plane nearly to the rear of the car, giving both front and rear passengers an unimpeded, all-around view while simultaneously showcasing the ZEO’s stylish interior.

Access to the Dodge ZEO is via scissor doors both front and rear. Inside Dodge have designed the interior to appeal to younger, gadget-aware buyers. “The Dodge ZEO concept is an example of designing for people who are used to a dynamic lifestyle and who are surrounded with information and virtual friends at all times,” says Lou Gasevski, principal interior designer of the Dodge ZEO concept.

Mr. Clock Radio Robot

Here is the world’s first robot radio! This robot radio is a great gift for anyone who loves gadgets. The Mr. Clock Radio alarm clock robot can wake anyone up in over 30 different ways, from a gentle voice to a shouting drill sergeant.

The Mr. Clock Radio Robot can speak the time aloud, react to light or motion, tell fortunes, wink and blink, also playing music via FM, AM or iPod/MP3.
However, Mr. Clock Radio may scold you, if you hit the snooze button too many times like I did yesterday.

Toyota and Sony Collaborate for a New Vehicle

We have seen Toyota collaborating with several auto makers before — just like the collaboration with Isuzu Motors to build small engines and release them in 2009. Toyota is still looking for more collaborations to push through with its planned building of more than 10 million vehicles in the next few years.

And now Toyota is doing another exciting collaboration with a famous gadget maker. You know which company I am referring to right? It’s Sony. The future partnership of Toyota and Sony will bring out a new vehicle in the market. And it’s not just any other vehicle but a single ride car. Exciting? You bet.

In 2005, Toyota revealed a concept version of the i-swing, an armchair wheels. But Toyota seems determined to turn the concept into reality — enlisting the partnership with Sony to pursue the production of the single-ride vehicle. Toyota sees Sony engineers as the most capable of doing this new type of vehicle.

Sony is renowned makers of major patent robotics and Toyota is (as everybody already know) makes the best selling vehicle models at present. Now seven engineers of Sony are working with Toyota to build the next generation project. No such thing as a Saab radiator fan on this ride, but the collaboration between the two huge Japanese companies will assure you that the car parts are made up of the best materials out there.

Toyota has developed the TPR-Robina, the newest robot on its company. The new robot is used to guide the visitors of the company around the head quarters. The new robot also has the ability to converse with the visitors and also performs several skills. However, Sony is now focusing on developing more updated technology on its electronics other than venturing to robotics.
