Love the Juice up concept by Francois Rybarczyk, a simple yet functional design that rescues you from situations where your Smartphone battery is dying on you and you have no easy access to a power point. Juice up, is a work around for power sharing; the frame features a cable which can transfer battery life from one phone to another.
Juice up is still at a concept stage and needs some electrical engineering, to be viable.

While it isn’t quite as bad-ass as Alex Murphy, South Korea’s robot prison guard promises to uphold its prime directives: watch over prisoners and snitch to their human colleagues if needed.
As you can see the prototype looks far more serious than the smiley-faced concept, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t care about its ward. Supposedly it can gauge the prisoners’ emotional state and record their normal habits so that it can watch out for errant behavior such as suicidal tendencies. Hopefully it won’t reprimand folks for being too happy.
The robot is also equipped with a camera and a two-way audio system so the human guards can taunt be bribed by talk to prisoners remotely. The robot can also be controlled via an app, which is both a user-friendly feature and a horrible security risk.
I wonder if they’re going to install weapons or defense mechanisms to the final version.
