This is a video highlighting the latest interation of the Tesla Bot, a 5’8″, 125-pound humanoid robot developed by the electric car giant. The robots are powered by the same AI as the driver assistance programming found in Tesla vehicles. Currently, the bots are capable of roaming untethered to explore
The BRUU Moving Beerpong Robot is a small, wheeled robot designed to hold six 16-oz Solo cups on top and randomly move around the table while you play beerpong, adding an increased level of difficulty to the game. Thankfully, it’s outfitted with sensors so it doesn’t fall off the table
Because robots and AI are all the rage as we ramp up preparations for a self-imposed robot apocalypse, this is a video of a robot developed by researchers at Chicago’s DePaul University that mimics a seal’s flopping locomotion to move forward. The researchers, led by mechatronic engineer Dimuthu Kodippili Arachchige,
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’. Robots, it’s
Because some people don’t actually like pumping gas (what’s wrong with them? The smell alone is worth it, not to mention the extra half gallon I can squeeze in the tank by pulling the nozzle almost all the way out), there’s an Autofuel robotic gas pump in operation at a
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.
