This is a video of Norm Nakamura of Youtuber channel Tokyo Lens riding and discussing Eno, a tiny standing taxi that can briskly roll up to three passengers to their destination. The lil autonomous taxi is powered by AI and features LiDAR sensors to monitor people, cars, and other obstacles
In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2
This is the worthwhile (read: I would take the time to watch it) music video for OK Go’s ‘Love’, which was filmed as one continuous shot and uses a bunch of industrial robotic arms holding mirrors to create different imagery in fun and innovative ways. Would I have stood in
Because what good will future robots be if we can’t ride them into battle against other robots, Kawasaki has released a video of its conceptual hydrogen-electric CORLEO. CORLEO is a large quadruped robot that could be ridden by one or two people like a giant dire wolf. It looks like
This is a vintage safety style video created by Youtuber Hoog highlighting ways you can protect yourself from the eventual armies of killer robotic dogs that will be prowling the streets. Granted, there wasn’t anything presented that I didn’t already know, but I don’t subscribe to Robot Apocalypse Digest just
The robot apocalypse: it can’t come soon enough for some people. And to prove it, here’s a video of Boston Dynamics’ latest iteration of its Atlas humanoid that’s capable of running, crawling, doing cartwheels, and breakdancing. So, if you were wondering if robots were now able to easily circumvent any
Because soon robots will be having all of our fun for us, this is a video of the Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) developed by researchers as at the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI, making this RAI’s UMV for those of you who love acronyming). It’s a little e-bike that can
This is a video of a robotic spy squirrel built by John Downer Productions (previously: some of their other spy animals) capturing the behavior of real squirrels as they attempt to steal each other’s nuts. Did you know that every autumn the average squirrel hides 10,000 nuts, and has such
