Have you guys seen the newest robots?

We won't need a draft for the next world war, since we'll have these:

Of course, if the military has it, the police won't be far behind.

Meanwhile another Tesla went rogue, off a NJ freeway.

Only to be stolen by the Hamburgler ;-)

Well, Old Bug Eyes, Rudy Giuliani, says hamburgling isn't a crime.

He was dressed as Little Wendy at the time ;-)

Scientists have created a robot prehistoric lizard to study how the ancestors of dinosaurs actually walked.

The OroBOT â€" based on the fossil of an extinct lizard known as ‘Orobates pabsti' â€" is helping experts determined to crack the evolution of walking fill in the gaps.

Evolutionary biologist Dr. John Nyakatura, 39, from Humboldt University in Berlin, and his colleagues first attempted to analyse walking patterns using a computer simulation but soon realised they needed a physical replica of the skeleton.

Dr Nyakatura, who  published the study this month, said: "This is a key fossil for the understanding of vertebrate evolution.

Not as good as Jurassic Park though ...

A basketball-playing robot called CUE, developed by Toyota engineers, was unveiled during the half-time show of Alvark Tokyo's basketball match in Japan on March 28. CUE, which is six-foot-three-inches tall, demonstrated how AI is helping him perfect free-throws, as it beat one of Alvark Tokyo's players in a shooting competition by a score of 10-8.

Maybe we'll see a robot Globtrotters team soon!

News ... backhoe stronger than John Henry ;-)

Named for the Ancient Greek god of the Underworld, the Hadal Zone is the pitch-black part of our oceans below 6,000 meters. Now, imagine a fleet of robots able to roam freely in the parts of the ocean that have been almost impossible for humans to reach, and bring back what they see: such as lifeforms that can survive with zero sunlight, very little nutrition, under pressure that could crush a car. OceanX's research vessel #Alucia took engineers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to test a brand-new prototype that will one day explore these remote, unforgiving parts of our planet, and eventually, oceans throughout our solar system.

This is the kind of robot we need more of! I wonder what we might find down there in the deepest deep?

I wonder what we might find down there in the deepest deep?

Fingers crossed.

Well, you can cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath! :-D

In the future, we may have remote-controlled insects to reach places humans cannot. At least that's what Dr. Hirotaka Sato, an aerospace engineer from Singapore, is hoping.

Motherboard went to Dr. Sato's lab in Singapore to take one of his cyborg beetles for a test flight.
