The Argus omnidirectional robot developed by General Robotics Lab is a spherical robot with 20 spherical legs and 20 eyes (technically optical sensors). The robot demonstrates dynamics symmetry, meaning it can generate force/acceleration almost equally in all directions. It reminds me of a land octopus. What’s the 20 equivalent of
This is a hype reel from AI humanoid robot manufacturer Figure, which, in the last 120 days, has scaled manufacturing of their F.03 humanoid robots from 1 a day to more than 1 every hour. They will produce 55 robots this week, and the scaling continues. Presumably until they have
Because the robot apocalypse can’t come soon enough, this is a video of a T800 (yes, seriously) humanoid robot built by Chinese robotics company Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics Technology Co. (EngineAI for short) kicking the company’s CEO to the ground to prove previously posted videos of the robot weren’t CGI. How
Folding laundry: hands down my least favorite chore. I don’t even know why, I regularly dodge angry wasps doing yard work and do the dishes and vacuum and a million other things, but for whatever reason when it’s time to fold laundry it just sits in the dryer until I
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
This is a vintage safety style video created by Youtuber Hoog highlighting ways you can protect yourself from the eventual armies of killer robotic dogs that will be prowling the streets. Granted, there wasn’t anything presented that I didn’t already know, but I don’t subscribe to Robot Apocalypse Digest just
The robot apocalypse: it can’t come soon enough for some people. And to prove it, here’s a video of Boston Dynamics’ latest iteration of its Atlas humanoid that’s capable of running, crawling, doing cartwheels, and breakdancing. So, if you were wondering if robots were now able to easily circumvent any
Because the end can’t come soon enough, this is a video of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robot performing some kung-fu on the sidewalk (previously: the G1 doing some jumping around like House Of Pain). You can buy your own G1 for around $16,000, although no word from Unitree if they’ll offer
