holiday robots

Chiron Beta Prime sounds like a great place to live if you love robots. Thanks JoCo

Controllably Morphable

Ugh. What's worse than robots? Cleaning up robot goo once you finish off one of these Controllably Morphable buggers.

Big dog

How could I forget Boston Dynamics Big Dog? It sounds like a swarm of bees, warms the earth with the cool sounds of combustion, doesn't care if you kick it in the ribs and could easily kill you if someone got hold of a laser and screwdriver. Should be a favorite Christmas toy amongst evil dictators. But then again, evil dictators probably don't celebrate Christmas

robot videos

Before I get bogged down in new robotic horrors, I wanted to post some of the classic robot fear videos.

First is Daft Punk's Technologic video

Next, space has a terrible secret: "humans must be pushed." down the stairs. by robots

In case you are creeped out by the previous videos (and if you aren't, you are probably a robot), here's a lighthearted video on the death of all humans by robots.

Mister Squiggles unsafe

I think it is safe to say that staying away from anyone or anything named Mr. Squiggles is generally good advice, but the advice is particularly apt if Mr. Squiggles is a robotic hamster that is encouraged to be placed in close proximity to children. Oh, and additionally, Mr. Squiggles may contain unsafe limits of antimony.

Obama on Robots

Glad to see I'm not the only one concerned about robots. I'm not sure about this "Educate to Innovate" campaign if it supports robot work. Obama's quote on robots "I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything" is about 1:20 into the video below.
