Want to hear about a creepy tech? A robotic company, called Clone (or Clone Robotics), has revealed an incredible android that uses artificial muscles just like humans rely on muscle for movements. Meet the Torso, a bimanual android upper body with artificial muscles that are remarkably close to the real […]
I am beginning to think the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has an obsession with biomimicry—in particular, how it lands. First, they created an ornithopter bot-bird that perches, and now the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne has developed an unmanned aerial vehicle that is literally a tree-hugger.
If Buzz Lightyear’s “serious” stint in Lightyear didn’t exactly launch your imagination to infinity and beyond, don’t worry—Disney and Pixar—in collaboration with Robosen—have brought Buzz back to basics with the first-ever “living” Buzz Lightyear robot. Yes, the real Buzz is here, and he’s packing more technology than a spaceship headed […]
When you hear “robot dog,” you might immediately picture Boston Dynamics’ Spot, patrolling some post-apocalyptic wasteland or, worse, wielding a submachine gun like it’s gearing up for Judgment Day. Luckily, Weilan has something much more wholesome in mind with their new BabyAlpha A2 Intelligent Petbot. The BabyAlpha A2 isn’t about […]

Folks. It looks like the age of I, Robot is happening sooner than anticipated. We talking about having your own Sonny as your high-tech domestic helper, doing things like doing the laundry and then folding the laundry, cleaning stuff, and whatnot. I know. It sounds a little out of this […]
The existence of automated pool cleaners did not eliminate pool boys/men. Possibly because, most of the pool robots clean the walls and sides of the pool, not the surface of the water. Not that pool skimmers aren’t available; there are but probably not intelligent enough to coax pool owners to […]
Here’s another human creation that would benefit our future machine overlord. I am not even kidding. What you see here is a giant robot bee from the German automation company Festo. When it comes to biomimicry, Festo is never a stranger. The company has developed countless robots inspired by nature, […]
AI is becoming more sophisticated as the day goes by. Bipedal robots walk faster and are almost able to move like humans. Do you know what are the missing pieces for the machine to take over? There should be quite a few (things) – hopefully, and of them would be […]
