Robot drones can now weave together wires
Robots are getting quite smarter as the years go by, so smart to the point where they can create a web of threads quite neatly without a hitch. Researchers at ETH Zurich are the folks behind this new robotic implementation, and it...
Skynet here we come: US army tests robot tanks that move and shoot on their own [Video]
Remember that article we wrote earlier this month about the US army testing robot tanks with mounted machines guns that move and shoot on their own? Yeah, well, this video is a demonstration of said tanks.
Robot walks and breathes, has artificial heart, blood, kidney, and limbs
While the military is working hard on robots for the battlefield, others are working on a robot that mimics human behavior. The particular robot that is the highlight of this article has its own organs and limbs similar to that of...
