I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords
Robots Dreams has some amazing videos of what robots are up to these days (much of it coverage of the Robo-One 9 Competition.)
Warning: here be multimedia, mostly Flash, not safe for environments in which computer audio will embarrass you, or for dial-up connections.
- Jumping from supine to standing
- Transforming from quadrupedal spider to biped that can swap what’s an arm and what’s a leg. And do splits.
- Jumping rope
- Climbing stairs
- And, best of all — transforming from a car to a robot and back!
Any resemblance between the robots depicted and Japanese TV is purely uncoincidental.
fairly impressive robot
hope it's relevant
