  • The Future Soldiers Will Be Robots And They Will Train Like They Fight

    This video was shared with me like 200 times, so I figured I better get off my ass and post it: I think the main reason it was spread around is because not even one person whose instagram page I saw put up a short clip of the video credited Corridor Digital, and they cropped…

  • Creepy Police Robots Rolled Out In Dubai

There’s a short article at IEEE Spectrum…

  • Robotic EOD Bomb Squad

    Warning, if you don’t have 8 minutes to spare you probably won’t learn anything from this documentary you don’t already know: Pretty interesting job being an EOD guy, especially with robots now.  That job was basically suicide before, from an outsiders perspective anyway. Gotta love the video game controllers they use.  Why not though right?  They…
