Because some people actual welcome the robot apocalypse with open, soon to be severed arms, some aspiring war criminal went and strapped a Russian PP-19 Vityaz submachine gun to the top of a radio controlled robot dog they bought off AliExpress for $3,000. As far as good ideas go, this

These are a couple videos of the flying Air Ray robot made by German industrial control and automation company Festo (not to be confused with Fisto, the Protectron robot I modded into a pleasure-bot in Fallout: New Vegas). It’s pretty majestic. At least until it’s spraying chemtrails in the sky

These are a couple videos from industrial machine manufacturer TEXTOR of two of their robotic slicing machines designed for cutting meat and cheese for pre-packaged sale. They cut so fast you can’t even see it happen — there’s just a block of meat or cheese on one side of the

These are two videos of a pair of robotic arms programmed by Swedish composer Frederik Gran to play stringed instruments — in this case, the cello and double base. One arm and hand does the fretting, while the other operates the bow. And while their performance didn’t really tug at

Presumably attempting to recreate Swan Lake, this is a video of a small army of lit drones gracefully dancing over the waters of a mountain lake, set to piano rendition of ‘O Holy Night’. As much as I do hate almost all robotic technology, I’ll admit this was very well

This is another size comparison visualization by MetaBallStudio (previously), this time comparing the sizes of various mechas from popular culture. What’s your favorite? Mine was the biggest one, because bigger is better. Take my penis for instance — best in the galaxy. “Did you even watch the video?” I don’t

Because the future looks bleak, this is a video of a Xiaomi Cyberdog with a loudspeaker mounted on (read: taped to) its back patrolling the streets of Shanghai and broadcasting a COVID lockdown announcement. The Cyberdog, not to be confused with Boston Dynamics’ Spot, is able to navigate the city

Using AI learning, scientists at the University of Tokyo’s ISI Laboratory have successfully taught a pair of robotic arms to peel a banana without tearing your penis off with one hand and vaporizing it with the laser blaster in its other. Congratulations? Handling soft fruit is tricky for robots, but
