This Week in the Future, March 1-5, 2010
Baarbarian
This week, PopSci took a look at re-shaping the hot dog -- a notorious choker of children, apparently -- as well as an affordable new sort of toilet.
Japan unveiled a new robot, AGAIN. This one is modeled on the hummingbird, and can hover in place on its four tiny wings.
And we went to the gym, future-style.
