This is a video of Cassie, a pair of robotic legs (and nothing else) developed by Agility Robotics, successfully running 5K in just over 53 minutes (running at around ~5.7km/h or 3.5MPH) and on a single battery charge. Not bad. For reference, the only way I’m finishing a 5K is

This is a video of Mark Rober discussing and demonstrating the five-years-in-the-making robot he and his team built that’s capable of setting up a record-breaking 100,000 dominos in 24 hours. For reference, it takes an experienced team of seven a full week to set up the same number of dominos,

MIT roboticists and Harvard mathematicians have teamed up to solve an age-old problem: how to teach a robot to brush tangled human hair without just ripping it all out and/or killing the person it’s attached to. Per MIT News while I brush my own hair in the mirror and repeatedly

This is a video from Walt Disney’s Imagineering department of the free-walking animatronic Baby Groot they’ve been developing. The first bit of the video is the progress they’ve made in recent years, but starting at 0:42 you can see it’s current state, which, admittedly, is pretty impressive (although he still

This is a video from Festo (not be confused with Fisto, the Protectron robot found in Fallout: New Vegas that you can mod into a pleasure bot) of their latest generation of BionicSwifts, robotic birds that fly using the same mechanics as real birds. According to Festo, the latest BionicSwifts

Seen here looking like a deleted portion of Horizon Zero Dawn, this is a introductory video for Boston Dynamics’ latest killer-bot, Stretch, a single-armed “sensor gripped” robot allegedly designed for warehouse work. I feel like it’s even scarier than Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robots because at least with those you can

This is a video of very smart engineer Shane Wighton of Youtube channel Stuff Made Here (previously: the robotic barber he made to cut his hair with actual scissors — okay maybe he’s not that smart) constructing a robotic pool cue system capable of making shots for you, all you

I’m not even sure robots are even going to get a chance to tear humanity apart before we do it ourselves, but this ‘Boston Dynamics: Rise Of The Dance Of The Machines’, a video from the Auralnauts of that Boston Dynamics robot dance video remixed into an admittedly catchy binary
