If they’re not faked up frauds, this is the most amazing human-type movement I’ve ever seen from any robot.
I was especially knocked out by the “getting up” routines.
that’s fukking awesome! I hope it’s not fake. There’s something almost too fluid about it.
Oh, I figured by the thread title that you’d found your thing again…
Keep looking bro.
neato
wow, cool
well, they are RC units, not technically “robots” but the articulation is really well done.
The fully automated, thinks for itself robot can’t be far away…can it?
pretty neato though
Dude, I hope not.. have you seen I,Robot..
:rolleyes:
well, no, I haven’t “seen” I Robot, but I did read teh book in junior high school way back in the disco days.
