Happy St. Patrick's Day! Over Spring Break I managed to come across some pretty cool articles and videos of innovative tech I hadn't seen before. I decided they would be pretty cool to share! First is [MorpHex](http://www.robotee.com/index.php/robot-projects/morphex-project-morphing-hexapod-by-kare-halvorsen-part-2/)! It's a spherical robot that can roll itself around and stand on all... six legs? Here's a video of it in action: [embed]http://youtu.be/HuC6q9kbryw[/embed] The second one I found is a ["Haptic Sensory Feedback" tablet](http://www.fujitsu.com/global/news/pr/archives/month/2014/20140224-01.html) prototype by Fujitsu. That is to say, it uses ultrasonic vibrations to simulate friction on a flat touch screen. That simulated friction can be used to recreate the feel of pulling on a harp string or touching an alligator's hide. ![Fujitsu Haptic Sensory Feeback Tablet](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/20140224-01a.jpg?width=500&height=340&name=20140224-01a.jpg) It's some cool stuff! Pretty soon we'll probably be seeing scratch and sniff tablets as well! - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&title=Sweet%20New%20Tech&picture=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3455363/Imported_Blog_Media/20140224-01a.jpg&description=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&text=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&title=Sweet%20New%20Tech&summary=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](mailto:?subject=Sweet%20New%20Tech&body=Sweet%20New%20Tech%20https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech) ### Don't forget to share this post! - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&title=Sweet%20New%20Tech&picture=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3455363/Imported_Blog_Media/20140224-01a.jpg&description=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&text=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech&title=Sweet%20New%20Tech&summary=Sweet%20New%20Tech) - [** ](mailto:?subject=Sweet%20New%20Tech&body=Sweet%20New%20Tech%20https://blog.uat.edu/geeky-stuff/sweet-new-tech) ### Comment ## Related Articles [Robotics and Embedded Systems](https://blog.uat.edu/tag/robotics-and-embedded-systems) [VEX U Robotics Tournamen](https://blog.uat.edu/tag/vex-u-robotics-tournamen) ### [Meet the UAT Robotics Team](https://blog.uat.edu/meet-the-uat-robotics-team) At University of Advancing Technology (UAT), innovation isn’t just taught—it’s lived.
