In bad news, this is a video of Engineering Arts’ humanoid robot Ameca (previously) attempting to grab the arm of an actual person who boops its nose. Granted,you shouldn’t just go around booping noses all willy-nilly, but you also shouldn’t teach robots to aggressively respond to human interaction. This will
This is a sizzle reel (think fajitas at Chili’s) for Hyundai Motor Group’s new Mobile Eccentric Droid (MobED), a flat robotic platform on wheels that uses smart suspension and “eccentric wheel drive” powered by three motors in each wheel to keep its payload stabilized no matter the terrain.

Seen here being powered by what appears to be a Bose brand arc reactor, this is a video of Engineered Arts’ Ameca humanoid robot demonstrating its eerie ability to make realistic human facial expressions.

Ingenuity, the first flying craft deployed by humans on another planet, flew approximately 700-feet at an altitude of 26-feet before landing. The footage, albeit relatively unimpressive to watch if you pretend this is
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Tattoo You’ album, this is a video of four of Boston Dynamics’ Spot quadruped robots recreating the music video for ‘Start Me Up’. I’m sure baby boomer moms are fainting everywhere. Admittedly, the robots really do a fantastic
Because the internet, just like a vinyl record, never stops turning despite the fact you passed out on the sofa hours ago, this is a video animation of Squid Games’ red light/green light game, but played by WALL-E, a Terminator T800, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot, and Pac-Man. Who wins?
This is a compilation video of Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robots failing while training to perform in this previously posted parkour video. So if you thought these robots were perfect, think again. Or — OR — maybe they tripped and fell on purpose to give us a false sense of
