A collection of clips from about 2010 to the present showing the progress of one company's robots ability to get around around on their own.

Trigger warning:
There are scenes of robots being the victims of mild physical abuse.
A scene of what appears to be robot courtship: two robots in a committed relationship taking a stroll around the block.

Oh please, lets not start that 'trigger warning' crap here. Its like NPR getting so bad about that I've about quit listening it irritates me so much.

I did not want anyone one here getting upset by the sight of innocent little robots falling off buildings, going into claustrophobic spaces, being kicked or poked with hockey sticks or shelving heavy stuff without OSHA oversight.

You can't play it too safe: at a college not too far from here, one of the dining hall meals turned out not as good as home cooking, and some of the students suffered terrible awful bad mental trauma, and got really annoyed, and said large words and wrote strong letters to the editor.

I think I detect a wag speaking with tongue planted firmly in cheek. At least, I certainly hope so.

[whulsey]

I would think so.

How about a trigger warning for that horrible music?

Seriously though, the galloping speed, hurling cinder blocks, and the PETMAN in the chem-suit? There is a little bit of nightmare fuel . . .

Thanks Mechanic, I'd just glanced at the 1st part of the video. Your comments made me decide to go back and watch it all. By the way horrible music, that sounds like a lot of stuff I listen to.

Here this should really cause you nightmare's: Survival Research Laboratories this isn't the Phoenix show that was the best thing I've been to in this place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5JhQCJBYdQ
