Toyota Sees Robots as Core Business in the Future

Toyota Motor Corp. is producing new prototypes for robots in hopes that they will become part of core business in the future. In terms of aiding robot technology, the government has funded millions of dollars towards numerous robot related projects.

Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe stated that his dream car would not only be more environmentally friendly but also have artifical intelligence that would be able to sense a crash and avoid it, among other safety and health innovations. To that end, Toyato has been putting research into the fusion of industrial technology and neroscience.

Nanowire battery can hold 10 times the charge of existing lithium-ion battery

Photos taken by a scanning electron microscope of silicon nanowires (above) before (left) and after (right) absorbing lithium. Both photos were taken at the same magnification. The work is described in “High-performance lithium battery anodes using silicon nanowires,” published online Dec. 16 in Nature Nanotechnology.

Stanford researchers in California have found a way to use silicon nanowires to reinvent the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power laptops, iPods, video cameras, cell phones, and countless other devices.

The new technology, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion, known as Li-ion, batteries. A laptop that now runs on battery for two hours could operate for 20 hours, a boon to ocean-hopping business travelers.

The greatly expanded storage capacity could make Li-ion batteries attractive to electric car manufacturers. They could also be used in homes or offices to store electricity generated by rooftop solar panels.
