Some real crazy robotics.


Bionic penguins that travel underwater independently. Bionic flying penguins. Robotic arms made of fiberglass rods with free will. Molecubes that assemble into infinite-growing robots. All for real, as this video shows. I'm leaving the planet.

Gary,
Yes they have come a long way. Years ago I done a electro/pneumatics course with SMC. I bet they have robots also? :)
I also worked on various servo driven robots, that was interesting.
Thanks for the Vids
