Robot gets bum deal by having to mimic how the human backside moves

Some stories are so silly we'd be mad not to include them. So it turns out some engineers based at Ford's HQ in Germany have been developing a robot that's able to mimic the natural movement of a human bum - a *cough* Robutt, if you will.

The engineers used pressure maps to establish a, “perch pattern,” the data enabling them to test the wear and tear of materials using the robotic bottom (which is capable of simulating ten years of driving in just three weeks). Some robots get all the glamorous jobs. Check the video below for more robotic ass related info.

Get a missile warning app for your phone. No, seriously

So, it turns out an app developer is working on a bit of software that would turn your smartphone into a mobile warning system for incoming missile attacks. So it's meant for use in Japan by Japanese citizens and foreigners living in that part of the world, and has been created in the face of growing fears of attacks from nearby North Korea.

Apparently the firm behind it, Meta Studios Creative Agency, is in talks with the Japanese government with the app designed to provide information such as escape routes and shelters, emergency evacuation zones, hospitals, plus many features, all crucial information to save lives in the case of an attack. It's currently on Kickstarter (in Japanese, mind) here.
