A partnership between biotech startup Lab-Grown Leather, genomic engineering firm The Organoid Company and creative agency VML, T-Rex Leather is lab-grown leather created using the reconstructed collagen sequences of a t-rex. Some more details while I speculate how long until Texas Roadhouse is grilling dino steaks. To engineer leather from

The Argus omnidirectional robot developed by General Robotics Lab is a spherical robot with 20 spherical legs and 20 eyes (technically optical sensors). The robot demonstrates dynamics symmetry, meaning it can generate force/acceleration almost equally in all directions. It reminds me of a land octopus. What’s the 20 equivalent of

This is a video of Unitree’s $650,000 GD01, a giant 1/2 ton humanoid mecha a person can ride inside. It can either walk upright bipedal human style, or transform and walk on all fours like a terrifying robotic animal. The sound of it clanking down the street — that was

This is a video of Youtuber Strange Inventions building a clock that tells time with vials of colored water (I would have gone with an even darker color). Every minute the vials rotate and dump their contents, and the vials required to tell the next minute’s time are refilled via

This is a video of two Figure humanoid F.03 robots (who look suspiciously like people wearing robot costumes) tidying a bedroom and making the bed. And all in under two minutes! Granted, the tidying consists entirely of closing a laptop and hanging a pair of headphones on a stand, so

This is a video of Sony AI’s Project Ace ping-pong playing robot. Sure ping-pong is officially known as table tennis, but I feel like nobody who doesn’t own their own paddle calls it that. Admittedly, this robot looks like a pretty fierce competitor. The way it moves — way faster

This is a video of an AgiBot Expedition A3 humanoid robot packing itself in its travel case. Does it look like a pleasure model while it’s folding itself up? Of course it does, this thing had pleasure-bot written all over it even before it was grabbing its buttcheeks with its

Because some people are still out there having fun (crazy to think about), this is a video of Youtuber Handy Geng making a giant sword (inspired by Ichigo’s Soul-Cutter sword from manga Bleach), then attaching it to the business end of an excavator. Well, provided the business end is the
