This is a video of the entirely robotic One Hacker Band performing a rendition of Nirvana’s 1991 banger ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Even without watching the video, you can tell it’s a robot band playing it. It sounds robotic. Like I’ve often been accused of, it has no soul. Also,
This is a video of Josh and friends from Youtube channel FliteTest constructing a massive 15-foot Iron Giant out of FT Maker Foam (which they often use to make model aircraft). Man, that Iron Giant would look great in my…apartment parking space? He definitely wouldn’t fit inside, that’s for sure.
Trim as in decorate, not trim as in cut, but give them a chainsaw attachment and I’m sure they could do that as well. Make you need a pair bionic legs too. This is a video of a trio of Boston Dynamics’ Spot quadruped robots putting a bow on the

Because who wouldn’t want a hug from a lifeless hunk of tetanus, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, ETH Zurich, and the University of Copenhagen put all their eggheads together to create HuggieBot 3.0, a robot designed specifically for hugging humans.

Because how are robots going to overthrow humanity if we don’t make them tough, harbingers of the apocalypse IHMC Robotics has conspired with Boardwalk Robotics to develop a Nadia humanoid robot capable of maintaining its balance after getting shoved on a treadmill.
