12 cool tech inventions that are hard to believe exist (13 photos)

It would seem that everything possible has been invented to improve people's lives and comfort. However, scientists keep coming up with new developments that seem like science fiction.





Meet this humanoid robot named Ai-Da. Isn't she cute?



Ai-Da isn't just a mechanical device whose appearance is realistically modeled on a brunette woman. Like a real person, she is a trained artist. What's most interesting is that this android is self-learning. The robot is capable of constantly improving its own skills and abilities. Ai-Da creates sculptures, sketches, and paintings. She is also capable of holding conversations about art and expressing her opinion on any work. Incredible!

A valuable invention for motorists and cyclists, called a "smart tire."





This invention will make any motorist or cyclist happy. After all, everyone dreams of forgetting what it's like to have a flat tire! The American company The SMART Tire has created tires that are puncture-resistant. With a memory of their original shape, they easily absorb shock and self-heal perfectly. If they hit a bump, the smart tire will return to its original shape.

A ring instead of a bank card is not only convenient, but also beautiful.



This payment method allows contactless payment in stores. Made of ceramic, the ring also looks like a fashionable accessory.

The presence of a companion robot will brighten up loneliness



Another useful brainchild of inventors is the ElliQ robot, which is specially designed for lonely elderly people who need someone to talk to. This development by Israeli specialists helps elderly people brighten up their old age and fill their leisure time with interesting activities. This robot is also useful because it can remind them to take their medication or make a phone call. ElliQ can also amuse you by telling a joke or reading a note, and even carry on a conversation on a given topic. It would be nice if they gave it a human face.

A valuable learning prosthesis for the disabled



Another clever development by scientists is the Esper Bionics bionic prosthesis. It was created to make life easier for people with disabilities who have lost a limb. A valuable feature of this development is its ability to self-learn. The prosthesis reads and memorizes human brain impulses, eventually beginning to function independently, without waiting for commands. The Esper Bionics bionic arm significantly improves the quality and comfort of life for people with disabilities.

The emotionality of the anthropomorphic robot named Ameka is astonishing!



This cute robot is a development by Engineered Arts. The goal was to achieve the maximum possible range of facial expressions for Ameka. Looking at the robot's photo, you can see that the inventors have succeeded. Ameka can't walk and has poor speech recognition, but this wasn't the developers' intention. To make the robot's facial expressions emotional and expressive, the scientists used 27 mini-motors embedded in the facial area. Using Ameka, the scientists plan to explore human-robot interaction.

A sensitive sensor that monitors the body's water balance



This useful development is called the Nix Hydration Biosensor. Its main purpose is to monitor the water-salt balance in the human body. It is especially valuable for athletes who lose a lot of water during training. The biosensor can be easily attached to, for example, the wrist. It will monitor water balance and send a notification to a smartphone if it deteriorates.

Little Robot self-cleaning cat litter



This robot, which doubles as a smart cat litter box, will be a wonderful helper for pet owners. Its main advantage is its self-cleaning ability. It cleans up after cats, making life much easier for owners. They only need to clean the sealed litter box every few days. In addition to its primary function, Little Robot measures the cat's weight and notifies the owner of any weight gain or loss.

A wonderful saltwater-powered flashlight



WaterLight's amazing innovation is a flashlight that requires no batteries or rechargeable batteries! It runs on salt water. A small amount of seawater—just half a liter—is all it takes. The flashlight will run continuously for forty-five days! It can also be used as a mini generator to charge your phone.

Underwater drone with artificial intelligence



The Advanced Navigation Hydrus invention is an autonomous underwater drone. It's an invaluable development for deep-ocean research. Equipped with artificial intelligence, the drone easily navigates obstacles and records video, all while adjusting lighting settings.

Even inexperienced surfers can comfortably ride this electric board.



Surfing enthusiasts will love this invention – the Fliteboard 2.2 electric board. Thanks to its built-in electric motor, it can be ridden even in calm weather. It can reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. A single battery charge lasts for a full hour.
