Air date: Jun 08, 2015

Honda's smart house is an innovative eco-friendly, energy efficient lab, that is able to generate its own power as a solution to living off the grid. TechKnow contributors Cara Santa Maria and Phil Torres spent a night at the zero-net energy house full of modern furniture, all of which are made from sustainable materials. In this episode of TechKnow, we also look at another invention - Baxter, a robot designed to do simple industrial jobs, such as loading, unloading and handling materials on an assembly line.
