hi we're architects for society a us-based nonprofit design practice with a global outreach and vision with the recent increase in the number of international refugees we knew that addressing their dire need for decent shelter would be a high priority for us in many refugee camps residents encounter a broad range of problems inadequate security leaky and flood prone structures a lack of adequate living space for families a shortage of natural light and health and sanitation issues associated with shared public toilets the refugee crisis has moved us to develop a simple cost-effective solution that not only addresses these issues and problems but that can also be easily assembled by the end users with very simple tools and no construction experience the heads house is a dignified home that can easily serve as both a transitional and permanent shelter all the components are designed to be packed and shipped flat hence it can be rapidly deployed the hexagonal form it is a more rigid than a square form eliminating the need for added structure it has a toilet a shower a kitchen two bedrooms and a living space the structural insulated panels or sips that are used for the walls floors and roof provides security and protection from the harsh weather conditions the 47 square meters are approximately 500 square foot units are adaptable scalable and can accommodate larger families units can be disassembled relocated and reused elsewhere assembly is simple concrete pier foundations are dug and poured adjustable steel legs are set on top of the piers floor beams are fastened to the steel legs and structural insulated panel floors are attached to the floor beams structural insulated panel exterior and interior walls are then fastened to floor panels interior and exterior finishes can be easily customized roof panels are anchored directly to the exterior walls with no need for additional structure and a simple steel and tuber porch is attached insulated windows skylights and doors are installed finally an aluminum gutter is attached to the roof panels individual units are combined into clusters of five to create share and exterior spaces and amenities we've teamed up with prominent engineering firms in Frankfort and Minneapolis to engineer the hex house systems and begin construction on a prototype in the spring of 2017 the hex house is simple but sophisticated design makes it a smart and sustainable solution for more than refugee shelters there's an increased demand for small efficient and affordable homes and we plan to cater to this market with customizable hex house kits that can be delivered right to customers doors by allowing people to build their own homes substantial cost savings can be realized by homeowners ever since we introduced the hex house in design publications the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive every day we receive inquiries about where to buy the hex nuts the world is a rapidly changing place and with that our needs are changing also with your support we'll be able to develop the hex house prototype and make available to society a rapidly deployable scalable affordable housing solution that is much needed in today's world when my grandfather not founded the Tiffin company his philosophy was simple find out what the customer wants and give it to them two years ago we asked our engineers at steadicam headquarters in Burbank to create the best electronic handheld stabilizer with no limitations we took our study camp technology that's been used in Hollywood for the last 40 years and coupled it with Steve Wagner's genius software design and by partnering with aerial drone manufacturer unique it allowed us to create this Steadicam vault the best electronic handheld stabilizer with no limitations the study can volt like all its predecessors is a expanded system with the center of gravity right at a gimbal it accepts any phone any case that allows you to walk around precisely frame the things that you want to see and move the camera in the way that we're used to seeing on a feature film it's an electronically gyro augmented study cam for smartphones that weighs 1 pound with the inertia and the feel of a big 40-pound rig three axis gimbal they're not terrific at following action one two three one two three a little lag there the study Campbell gives you stability and agility and that's the key the Volt effectively puts study cam technology in the palm of your hand our mission has always been to help people create the world's greatest images so back us today we can't wait to see what you guys are going to create you drone ball go is a revolutionary invention that represents a marked enhancement over rigid in cage protected drones where drone ball go sets itself apart is with its fully flexible ball shaped outer cage and its patent-pending stabilization system these innovations allow Jerome ball go to remain stable on its multi axis running ring track making it crash happy yes it's a literally impossible to crash the cage didn't rigid protected drones currently on the market are adversely affected by collisions since they are not decoupled from their protective cages and usually cannot recover before hitting the ground drone ball go is a high-speed high-powered brushless technology drone that's miles ahead in terms of innovation and fun other cutting-edge professional-grade components include 1080p camera GPS brushless motors hobby-grade advanced flight controller thanks to its intelligently designed rotating frame drone ball go bounces in rolls effortlessly this special design allows for a small 34 centimeter diameter outer cage enabling drone ball go to access tight spaces that other drones can't also thrown ball goes running track is fixed in position and the cage bars in front of the camera are minimized ensuring a clear camera view dropout goes remarkable stability allows it to drive fly scale walls in zoom across the ceiling in full six axis of direction drone ball go has a 400 meter fpv operational range and a 400 meter 2.4 gigahertz range you can even conduct building inspections beyond line of sight thanks to real-time lag free video streaming direct to the LCD screen supporting all of this technology is drone ball goes quick-release easy to change low-cost rechargeable lipo 3s battery which allows for 10 minutes of flight time and minimizes downtime drone BALCO can be deployed indoors or outdoors incorporate auto takeoff landing in altitude home and its protective cage makes it safer people and animals with your help trimble go will usher in a new era of drone technology one that can be enjoyed by everyone this is control the robot it has the same DNA as sophisticated hundred thousand dollar industrial robot arms elegantly reduced down to desktop size and made as affordable as a coffee machine now anyone can own their own robot just plug in a laptop and take control with a full range of articulation through six axis controls uses O's unlimited as your imagination from teaching your children to code through play to clever applications for small business to science and education uses control the robot provides endless opportunities it works right out of the box and the completely open source interface means you can control it with your favorite programming language or simple conversation or text commands or use physical manipulation to teach it repeatable tasks you can also connect multiple arms to work together end of arm tools are easy to change and will be available for endless uses including grips laser engravers suction pads spray nozzles 3d printing and more with a camera control can also find and recognize all users will be able to write their own applications and share the code globally creating your database of control the robot programs from creating a miniature factory for your business to raising the next generation of genius inventors control the robots means anyone can now control a robot
