This video review is about a video robot that has been released in retail stores. This robot competes in the robotic competition known as 'First Wars', and is designed to provide a first-hand account of the events at each heat and grand final. Heat D, however, is not included in the game. It also features behind-the-scenes segments, as well as highlights of the 1995 UK Open Competition. In addition, the video includes a 'Constructor's Guide' that outlines various tips for building a competitor robot.
Corridor Digital parodies robotics videos
If you're a fan of science fiction movies, you may have enjoyed Corridor Digital's recent parody video on robotics. The video features a robot that shoots a target with pinpoint accuracy and runs after a pushed soldier. It can even withstand gunshots during a standoff and is capable of running after an enemy. But before you laugh at this video, consider its implications.
This video comes from the Los Angeles-based production studio Corridor Digital. It's a funny take on the robotics industry and is a tribute to the company that creates such futuristic robots. The video shows a tester attempting to beat the robot with a hockey stick, whip, and a ball. Ultimately, the robot fights back to win. But despite the hilarious and thought-provoking message of the video, viewers will probably not want to watch this video again.
Boston Dynamics
The Boston Dynamics video robot has been gaining a lot of attention for its impressive agility. In the video, scientists push the robots with hockey sticks while stress-testing their balance. It's also become a viral sensation after a scientist managed to fool the Internet by making it look like an actual human holding the robot at gunpoint. While the video is a bit distasteful for many, it is a fascinating piece of work and it proves that the future of robotics is not as far off as some may think.
The Boston Dynamics videorobot isn't the only product from the company. The company has worked with other companies such as Google, Hyundai, and Softbank to create more advanced robotic systems. The video robots are now ready to go commercial and are undergoing testing in real-world environments. CNBC recently visited the company's offices and caught a glimpse of two of its robots in action. While the videos are interesting, it may not be practical for real-world use.
Rolling Bot
LG's Rolling Bot is a mobile camera that acts as a security system and a companion for your pet. It connects to your Wi-Fi for full connectivity and streams live video to your smartphone. This robot is also a cheerleader, named Muruta, the world's first robot cheerleader. It balances on three metal balls, dances synchronized to music, and uses gyroscopic and inverted-pendulum control to stay upright. It also uses ultrasonic microphones and infrared sensors to determine its relative positions to objects.
The rolling robot can be positioned to play with cats and dogs, but is not a vacuum cleaner. It's half the size of a bowling ball and can be assembled to create an interactive experience. It's capable of controlling televisions, appliances, and more, and it even has an 8-megapixel camera to keep an eye on the home. Another bonus: it can be controlled remotely using its companion app on your smartphone. This app lets you see its real-time position and video from anywhere in the world.
SpotMini
While many people have speculated about whether or not the SpotMini will be commercialized, there is actually very little information available about this robot. While it looks like a typical consumer product, the mechanical quadruped that Boston Dynamics has developed is incredibly advanced. The SpotMini video robot is capable of carrying a heavy load. In addition to its ability to carry heavy loads, the robot is also clean and quiet. In the teaser video, the SpotMini is shown climbing stairs, ducking under tables, and cleaning dishes.
While the SpotMini is quiet, Boston Dynamics says that the Spotpowers make an unnerving mechanical marching sound that can attract significant attention. SpotMini is currently under development, but the company promises that it will be available soon. This video robot may be the first of its kind, but there are already similar robots on the market that are gaining considerable attention. If it's anything like the Business Spot, the robot could be a real game changer in many ways.
