This laptop was specially designed for teenagers in order to help them to study better. This futuristic laptop is easy accessible, very durable and it adapts to the individuality of the user. The Gelfrog has a “smart skin” shell which which is nothing we’ve ever seen before.

The gelfrog converges style and function. The final product is rugged, yet flexible enough to be used in the classroom, in the urban jungle, or on the nature trail.

Although the BigDog may be more durable, It won’t be able to walk the distances as Cornell’s ‘Ranger’. Just because it’s not the most beautiful bot out there, doesn’t mean it should sit the bench. The Ranger walked 45 laps nonstop around Cornell’s track which is 5.6 miles. The Ranger eventually tipped over likely due to a dieing battery.

Developed by a team of students working with Andy Ruina, Cornell professor of theoretical and applied mechanics, the robot walked (and walked) until it finally stopped and fell backward, perhaps because its battery ran down. “We need to do some careful analysis to find out for sure,” said Greg Stiesberg, a graduate student on the team.
