Previously seen folding laundry, this is a video of a humanoid robot demonstrating its dexterity by autonomously loading a dishwasher. That’s cool, but I don’t really mind loading and unloading the dishwasher. The dishwasher really does all the heavy lifting as far as washing dishes is concerned. What I really

This is a video of a Boston Dynamics Atlas humanoid robot performing warehouse work while repeatedly being harassed by a human coworker with a hockey stick, and the robot’s voice-over supplied by Youtube user dhant122. I assume Boston Dynamics released the original video in an attempt to convince humans we

Because watching robots battle is a real glimpse of the future (battling us, unfortunately), this is a video of Unitree’s little G1 humanoid robots kickboxing each other in the ring. In these fights, the robots are being remotely operated by humans standing ringside, but in the future they’ll be fighting

This is a video from Shanghai, China where 432 crawler robots were used to move an entire city block of historic buildings while underground construction was performed, then moved back after completion. The robotic feet were able to move the 7,500-metric ton block about 10 meters (33-feet) per day over

Chinese robotics manufacturer UBTECH Robotics has developed the Walker S2, the first humanoid robot capable of replacing its own battery when it senses its low or overheating, allowing for continuous 24-hour operation. I assume the Walker S1 didn’t have that capability. Obviously, we should start hoping and praying now that
