This is a video demonstration of Ebisu the cat mimicking the actions of her owner and dog trainer Fumi Higaki, who used the ‘Do As I Do’ dog training paradigm to teach Ebisu to repeat the movements she makes. Impressive! For reference, the only human movements my cat mimics are

This is a video of aerospace engineer Adam Woodworth building and demonstrating the toy hover pod he built that actually flies with the help of parts salvaged from a tiny quadrocopter toy. Pretty cool. Granted in this video The Child flies the thing like they’ve been serving unders at the
