This is a video from a robotic R/C car that a guy outfitted to run errands for him, in this case speeding into the pet store with a note explaining he needs GloFish shark food, and having the money to pay for it. That’s cool, at least until somebody is
This is a video of mad engineer Shane of Youtube channel Stuff Made Here (previously) attaching a chainsaw to an industrial robotic arm and programming it to carve a dog sculpture out of a block of foam. Its first effort is an absolute disaster, but the second dog it produces
Back with another song (and the addition of a robotic singing head), the One Hacker Band (previously seen performing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, still with Kirby trapped in the bass drum) makes its intentions known with a rendition of Tears for Fears’ ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’.

Because nothing quite screams robot apocalypse like a flying robotic spider, researchers at the University of Tokyo’s robotics department have developed just that, in the form of SPIDAR. What does SPIDAR stand for? Why ‘SPherIcally vectorable and Distributed rotors assisted Air-ground amphibious quadruped Robot’ of course! Jeez, use your brain.
This is a video of two useless machines having an intense switching battle. For those of you unfamiliar, a useless machine is a machine designed to unflip a switch when it’s flipped, and nothing else. In this case, two 8-switch useless machines connected to each other’s switches via rods constantly
This is a video highlighting all the real OSHA violations spotted in Boston Dynamics’ latest video of its ATLAS humanoid robot doing some construction work. Unsurprisingly, the robot does NOT follow proper safety guidelines. Like, at all. I wish I could say I’m surprised. I also wish I could say
Seen here looking like it’s fleeing the scene of a bank robbery, this is a video of Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS humanoid robot demonstrating its latest capabilities in order to deliver a toolbag to a human coworker. In the clip, it picks up a board and makes a bridge for itself
