Because scientists are an unending source of wild and crazy ideas, researchers at Cornell University and the University of Florence have developed a starfish shaped robot that’s controlled by the electrical signals generated by its onboard king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). I’m not going to lie, I did mistake those

Because we’ll have failed as a species as far as 8-year old me is concerned if we don’t have Rosey the Robot maids by the end of my lifetime, Unitree Robotics has released a new video of the mass production model of its G1 humanoid robot, which should be available

Because why not risk getting massaged to death, the Aescape is an AI powered massage table with two industrial robotic arms to work out all your knots. It has a touchscreen control panel so you can select specific areas to work on, and adjust the pressure and time allotted to

This is a video highlighting the evolution of Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS humanoid robot over the past 40 years, including from before Boston Dynamics even existed and early legged robotic locomotion was being studied at MIT’s Leg Lab. It was actually pretty interesting to see the walking technology develop. Sometimes by

A step in the effort to allow machines to “emote and communicate in a more lifelike way,” a collaborative team of scientists from the University of Tokyo and Harvard University have covered a robotic face with living skin. “But I want to wear your face,” I imagine the robot telling

Because robots don’t like competition, this is a video of a robotic vacuum pushing a lil creamsicle cat named Indy (we named the cat Indiana) underneath a chair. That’s just like a robot to try sweeping a problem under the rug (in this case a chair) instead of addressing it

Created by the folks of Youtube channel Every Flavor Of Robot (even rum raisin and butter pecan?!), the Etch-A-Sketch Camera is a modified version of the toy that can turn taken photos (or ones pulled from the internet) into line drawings with the power of AI. That’s pretty impressive. Still,

To demonstrate the precision of its new Microsurgery Assistance Robot, Sony used the device to delicately stitch up a single kernel of corn. What that corn did to require stitches, I’m not sure, but I suspect it involved an accident with one of those spiked corn on the cob holders
