This is a video of two Figure humanoid F.03 robots (who look suspiciously like people wearing robot costumes) tidying a bedroom and making the bed. And all in under two minutes! Granted, the tidying consists entirely of closing a laptop and hanging a pair of headphones on a stand, so

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

Because nothing screams the future like robotic food, researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia have created a wedding cake with pneumatic-powered edible robotic dancing gummi bears on top, and electronic candles powered by edible dark chocolate batteries. Welcome…to Jurassic Park the future

In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2

This is a clip from student Matt Barta, who presumably programmed this little industrial robotic arm to pull its own power cord from itself. Smart thinking! Or, who knows, maybe the robot foresaw a life of cruel robotic experimentation in its future and decided to end things itself while it

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 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

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.
