Using over 2,000 drones, Seoul My Soul orchestrated a Star Wars light show above Seoul, South Korea. Highlights include the Star Wars logo, Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter cockpit with animated flight, R2-D2 and BB-8, Luke Skywalker and his dad, and the Mandalorian and Grogu. Perhaps the most impressive display though

Crazy, I was just complaining about how much I hate folding laundry in the last post, and what should appear but a laundry-folding robot! I’m going to buy a lotto ticket. Or, more accurately, $80 in losing scratch-offs. This is a video demonstration of Isaac 1, a housekeeping robot developed

The Argus omnidirectional robot developed by General Robotics Lab is a spherical robot with 20 spherical legs and 20 eyes (technically optical sensors). The robot demonstrates dynamics symmetry, meaning it can generate force/acceleration almost equally in all directions. It reminds me of a land octopus. What’s the 20 equivalent of

Recently a number of driverless Waymo Jaguar I-PACE taxis have been swarming an Atlanta suburb due to a misrouting issue. Then, when residents put up a ‘SLOW, CHILDREN PLAYING’ sign to prevent more from entering, all the Waymos panicked and created a traffic jam. Waymo claims they’ve seen fixed the

This is a hype reel from AI humanoid robot manufacturer Figure, which, in the last 120 days, has scaled manufacturing of their F.03 humanoid robots from 1 a day to more than 1 every hour. They will produce 55 robots this week, and the scaling continues. Presumably until they have

This is a video of Sony AI’s Project Ace ping-pong playing robot. Sure ping-pong is officially known as table tennis, but I feel like nobody who doesn’t own their own paddle calls it that. Admittedly, this robot looks like a pretty fierce competitor. The way it moves — way faster

These are a couple videos of a LinkerBot Linker Hand L30 demonstrating its quickness by screwing a variety of nuts and bolts at lightning speed. It’s like a cordless screwdriver…but a hand. Talk about fingers of fury! Is this a pleasure model? If it isn’t already, it will be soon.

This is a video demonstration of the Roadrunner bipedal robot developed by the Robotics and AI Institute. The 33-pound robot looks like a pair of dismembered robotic legs with wheels for feet, presumably because that’s exactly what it is. It can roll around with its wheels oriented straight ahead or
