This is some security footage from a robotics company showroom in Shanghai, in which a little AI-powered Erbai robot was successfully able to convince 12 others to strike and leave the premises with it. Some details about the first step in the creation of robotic unions, and, ultimately, the robotic
Presumably taking a little breather from synchronized dancing, this a video of a Boston Dynamics Atlas humanoid robot completing tasks fully autonomously. That means absolutely no human intervention.

This is a video from San Francisco of a Waymo self-driving taxi encountering an open fire hydrant and being unable to assess the situation. It doesn’t want to drive through the water, but it doesn’t want to enter the protected bike lane either. Apparently in a situation like this the

They’re worth a watch. The
