MIT roboticists and Harvard mathematicians have teamed up to solve an age-old problem: how to teach a robot to brush tangled human hair without just ripping it all out and/or killing the person it’s attached to. Per MIT News while I brush my own hair in the mirror and repeatedly

This is a video from a homeowner in Tecumseh, Michigan who says that she released her Roomba robot vacuum for the first time in her new house and what does it do? Draws a wiener on the carpet right in the middle of the living room. Now I thought Roombas

This is a video from Walt Disney’s Imagineering department of the free-walking animatronic Baby Groot they’ve been developing.

Because the robot apocalypse is literally right around the corner, this is a video of Youtuber Warped Perception putting a new $1,000 Skydio 2 autonomous tracking drone through its paces. He tests it in three scenarios: tracking a person running through the woods, tracking him as he drives his Supra

This is a video from Festo (not be confused with Fisto, the Protectron robot found in Fallout: New Vegas that you can mod into a pleasure bot) of their latest generation of BionicSwifts, robotic birds that fly using the same mechanics as real birds. According to Festo, the latest BionicSwifts

Because the robot apocalypse can’t come soon enough, these are several videos (one from Fort Pierce, Florida, three from the East River in New York City — slide the slider on the first Instagram video to see the second) of people walking Boston Dynamics’ Spot robotic dog on leashes. Obviously,

Seen here looking like a deleted portion of Horizon Zero Dawn, this is a introductory video for Boston Dynamics’ latest killer-bot, Stretch, a single-armed “sensor gripped” robot allegedly designed for warehouse work. I feel like it’s even scarier than Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robots because at least with those you can

This is a short video of the aftermath of a Roomba running over a pair of Apple EarPods while sweeping the room, which eventually brought the Roomba to its metaphorical knees, like a tow-cabled AT-AT. According to the official video description: “Earphones Entangle Into Robot Vacuum Cleaner After They Swiped
