Robot video – evolving technology of robotics on display

This gyroscopic robot will probably put your balancing to shame.
Standing on a ball with a large brick on top, it manages to keep positioned on the ball even when pushed around.
The robot could help a human out when moving around a large object, and it can be combined with several robots carrying the same object.
What we are missing in the video is to have the guy standing on top of it

This is a video of a musically-inclined Partner Robot that can play violin. Behind is Toyota the auto giant.
17 joints in its arms controlled by computer and very agile fingers allow the robot to both hold the violin and correctly psuh down the strings against the fingerboard, while gently drawing the bow across the strings. In this clip you will see it at a Toyota showroom in Tokyo. The robot is the 152-centimeter (5-ft) tall and it entertained with “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Toyota has an ensemble of musical androids like this, which can also play trumpet, tuba, trombone, French horn and percussion.

This is just for entertaining, and the robots aren’t the most sophisticated. Actually they are toy robots. But in this video the cute robots dancing are just adorable. Even if though they’re wearing hawaiian shirts

Have a look at this amazing video from iRobot which is yet another glimpse into the future of robots.

It shows how a robot consisting of purely soft tissue can change its appearance and actually move around on a surface.

If nothing else, the future of the adult industry looks bright…

This amusing little robot is able to play the popular iPhone application Rock Band. Using light sensor and advanced robot fingers, it is able to play the game at the highest level of difficulty. 

Some guy named Joe Bowers took the challenge up and built one for him self.
