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

Because the endtimes are upon us, this is a video from the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia of millions of male mosquitos swarming in a ‘tornado’ in an attempt to mate with females, and darkening the sky in the process. Some more info while I phantom itch just thinking about

Because the robot apocalypse is literally right around the corner, this is a video of Youtuber Warped Perception putting a new $1,000 Skydio 2 autonomous tracking drone through its paces. He tests it in three scenarios: tracking a person running through the woods, tracking him as he drives his Supra

Because the robot apocalypse can’t come soon enough, these are several videos (one from Fort Pierce, Florida, three from the East River in New York City — slide the slider on the first Instagram video to see the second) of people walking Boston Dynamics’ Spot robotic dog on leashes. Obviously,

This is a video demonstration of MIT’s ‘LaserFactory’, a laser cutter that’s been modified into an fabrication platform capable of producing functional devices. In this video, it cuts the pieces necessary to build a drone, then pours silver into the circuit traces, attaches its electronic components, solders the silver in
