Humanoid robots crush Bolt’s 100m record in Beijing
At Beijing’s World Humanoid Robot Games, Chinese humanoid sprinters Tiangong Ultra and Lightning just outran Usain Bolt’s legendary 100m record.
Hey Sirius – fetch the bone! Sirius, the AI-powered robotic dog, is designed to blend cutting-edge robotics with emotional intelligence and high customizability.
It’s finally here! Sirius is an advanced AI-powered robotic dog developed by Hengbot Innovation Ltd., designed to blend cutting-edge robotics with emotional intelligence and high customizability. Unveiled at CES 2025, Sirius became a star for its lifelike agility, expressive movements, and multimodal interaction capabilities, setting a new benchmark for consumer robotics.
The next step in the evolution of artificial intelligence? Let AI experience the physical world.
Most ML models are built in virtual worlds, such as video games. They can train on massive datasets, but for physical applications, they are missing vital information.
Meet the new Atlas robot and see how well it reacts to bullying
Atlas is a humanoid robot made by Boston Dynamics (the makers of the ever-popular BigDog military robot). Atlas can walk on two legs and use its “arms” to lift, carry, and climb (and maybe one day, fight back against robot bullies). Atlas is even sophisticated enough to adjust and navigate through tight, cluttered places.
Join the movement – stop the abuse of robot dogs!
Regular visitors to Geek Slop’s Mad Scientist Lab know Geek Slop loves robots. In fact, he’s pretty much fanatical about Boston Robotics’ four-legged dog robots (fanatical enough that some of us are beginning to worry). Check out the public service announcement call-to-action to stop the abuse of robot dogs.
No, no “Eugene” did NOT pass the Turing test
I hate to steal anyone’s thunder but I’m afraid Eugene did not pass the “Turing test”, the test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior. Media outlets are reporting that “Eugene”, an AI created by a team based in Russia, has passed a Turing test organized by the University of Reading, by duping one…
Forget throwing stuff at it while you flee in terror – this robot can catch anything you toss at it
When the robot invasion starts (when robots take over the world and enslave the human race), proper robot self-defense is going to be difficult – especially now that we find out we can’t throw rocks, furniture, or small children at them while we flee. You see, this amazing robot can catch anything you throw at…
Robotics, Robots, and how they’ll take over the world
In simple terms, a robot is a mechanical device that is intended to do the work a human would normally do. Robots can be as simple as a mechanical arm that helps assemble cars in a car assembly plant, or as complicated as a two-legged mechanical robot that looks very much like a real person.…
Two-ton Mantis hexapod robot machine powered by 2.2L diesel engine
Meet the Mantis, a two-ton all-terrain hexapod built by Matt Denton of Micromagic Systems. Looking like something out of a Sci-Fi horror movie, the robotic machine is powered by a Perkins 2.2L Turbo Diesel engine and can be operated with onboard controls or via a remote Wi-Fi controller. It’s onboard controller is a Linux-based PC…
