DailyDirt: Cool Robot Videos
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
More and more robots are learning new tricks every day. In the not-too-distant future, everyone could be playing and working with robots all the time. Here are some interesting videos of robots demonstrating cool motor skills.- This throwable robot that magnetically sticks to walls is designed as a recon scout to fight pirates at sea. But if a ship's hull isn't magnetic, this little remote-controlled bot just drowns in the ocean... [url]
- If you want to make really small paper airplanes, there's a bot for that. FYI, these remote-controlled robot hands can also do things besides origami -- like heart surgery. [url]
- A robot made from Lego can sort different colored Lego bricks at a rate of about 48 per minute. This looks like an early version of a Lego digestive tract -- which may eventually be part of a Lego artificial life form.... [url]

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
