Last week I spent a morning at SINDEX 2014, which is apparently Switzerland's largest technology exhibition. Its main focus is on industrial electronics and automation: not exactly fields I know a lot about, but ones that I do find to be extremely interesting. There were 400 or so exhibitors, many focused on providing sensors and electrical equipment, others providing complete automation solutions. There was a serious focus on robotics, for instance, something in which regular readers will know I have a strong interest. This post contains a few examples of the robots that were on show. This robot, from Stäubli,…

As those of you following me on Twitter may know, I spent Monday morning at Milan Design Week. I had a couple of reasons for being in Milan at this time. Firstly, my grandmother now lives there, so I spent Sunday evening (the evening of her birthday) with her and my Milan-resident family. The second reason was Milan Design Week. In recent weeks I've been in touch with a Swedish designer, Staffan Holm, who I knew would be exhibiting at SaloneSatellite during this year's Milan Design Week. SaloneSatellite is the general-admission (i.e. it's free to get in) section of the…
