These are a couple videos of the flying Air Ray robot made by German industrial control and automation company Festo (not to be confused with Fisto, the Protectron robot I modded into a pleasure-bot in Fallout: New Vegas). It’s pretty majestic. At least until it’s spraying chemtrails in the sky

This is a video of Red Bull sponsored Swedish freeskier Jesper Tjäder setting a new world record for longest rail slide on skis, with an impressive 506-feet. Even millipedes are impressed! Because perseverance does occasionally pay off, it took Jesper 126 attempts to finally slide the whole rail, surpassing the

These are a couple videos from industrial machine manufacturer TEXTOR of two of their robotic slicing machines designed for cutting meat and cheese for pre-packaged sale. They cut so fast you can’t even see it happen — there’s just a block of meat or cheese on one side of the

These are two videos of a pair of robotic arms programmed by Swedish composer Frederik Gran to play stringed instruments — in this case, the cello and double base. One arm and hand does the fretting, while the other operates the bow. And while their performance didn’t really tug at

Presumably attempting to recreate Swan Lake, this is a video of a small army of lit drones gracefully dancing over the waters of a mountain lake, set to piano rendition of ‘O Holy Night’. As much as I do hate almost all robotic technology, I’ll admit this was very well

This is another size comparison visualization by MetaBallStudio (previously), this time comparing the sizes of various mechas from popular culture. What’s your favorite? Mine was the biggest one, because bigger is better. Take my penis for instance — best in the galaxy. “Did you even watch the video?” I don’t

Because I’m not really sure why, but there’s definitely no excuse for it, this is a video of ‘The Prayer’, a robotic mouth developed by conceptual scientist Diemut Strebe at MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology that endlessly sings AI-generated prayers. It was developed “to explore the possibilities of

This is a video of Tom Scott visiting robotics company Engineered Arts to meet his robotic doppelganger. The resemblance is uncanny decent. Honestly, Tom seems more impressed than I was, but he probably isn’t a jaded a$$hole. Plus he got to see it in person, and it was actually made
