Since its first funding opportunity announcement in April 2009, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy) has received scores of promising ideas for the next generation of energy technologies. However, ARPA-E can only fund a fraction of these promising ideas at the levels required.

The idea that a researcher should program computer systems interactively was anathema to them.

This is especially true for home robots, which need to be low cost(ish) as well as robust enough to be effective in whatever home they find themselves in.

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home.
