Robotic Revolutions

Welcome to Casual Fridays at Robotic Revolutions. You could say it’s happy hour, because today features a pair of robots with a penchant for beer. This first robot is the work of a hobbyist that converted a micro fridge. We can tell his robot is a killer-app because David Letterman invited him to appear on the Late Show.

This next robot has been around for about a year, but now it is actually available for sale! To be honest, I would much rather pay $799 for a beer bot than $2,000 for a Sony Aibo. The Asahi Beerbot was created as part of contest, but just knowing it exists, we’re all winners.

It’s the end of military week at Robotic Revolutions, which means it’s time for Casual Fridays and the usual lighter fare. This week, we’re presenting more YouTube goodness, the Land Walker! (more…)

Welcome to Casual Fridays here at Robotic Revolutions, where we take our weekly theme and have a little fun with it. This week, say hello to Asimo!

The funny thing about the robot named Asimo is that Honda maintains that his name has nothing to do with Isaac Asimov (yeah right). According to Honda, Asimo is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility.” As you can see below, this little fella is pretty mobile.

Hell, that robot can dance better than I can! I know a lot of you are worried about robotic overlords overtaking humanity, but for now, we should be safe, as long as we run up the stairs.
