The fully automated microwave-like gadget prepares genetically engineered and prepackaged meat and fish dishes. It does it by heating muscle cells via radio frequency identification (RFID) signals. Accordingly, it further suggests a cooking time. Though it claims to provide a solution to the food crises, it still leads consumers to non-vegetarianism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  Le Petit Prince<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\tConcept Designer:<\/strong> Martin Miklica<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\tDesign School:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vutbr.cz\/?set_lang=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brno University of Technology<\/a>, Czech Republic<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"contentImage\" title=\"\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4tfkHRMia0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1]<\/p>\n<div class=\"imgContent\"><b><\/b><span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The robotic greenhouse prepares humans for the life on Mars.

Carrying a plant inside a glass case, the device keeps on searching for suitable territory where it can find nutrition. Whether the four-legged pod utilize any form of renewable energy to wirelessly communicate with the other pods roaming on the Martian surface or will it be a self-charged one, we don\u2019t have the least cue of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\tNaturewash<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\tConcept Designer:<\/strong> Zhenpeng Li<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\tDesign School:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zju.edu.cn\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zhejiang University<\/a>, China<\/p>\n<div class=\"contentImage\" title=\"\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MDPOzMmiYEA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1]<\/p>\n<div class=\"imgContent\"><b><\/b><span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The futuristic laundry system is a waterless washer that makes use of negative ions to dispel dirt and make your clothes.
