Mechanical Tiger Shiva: Take Over the Art World

I’ve put a lot of thought into what would be cooler than a liger – we’re talking hours of wasted sketching and planning. The answer was obvious. A miger, or mechanical tiger, is a fusion of form and technology that even Napoleon Dynamite fans can appreciate. Shiva is a miger by artist Kezanti, and apparently…

Cuddly Killer Robot

Owning a killer killer robot is so clich . Instead, we recommend you invest in a plush killer robot by PlushBot. While most mad scientists prefer harsh materials like steel and electrophoresed kitten blood, you can be original by making novel use of more classic materials like felt and string. Caution: while he looks cute,…

China Makes a Sexy, Slutty Robot

We were wondering when the first sexy robot was actually going to be sexy. What with the Karaoke android, the robot monkey, the Chinese beauty robot, and Korea’s Ever-1 android all looking a might less than sexy, our hopes for a Human-Robot mating ritual were at an all time low. No longer! https://gizmodo.com/android-does-karaoke-gets-bored-208515 This “Dion”…

Bullet-proof Dolphin Kicks Flipper in the Nads

As much as we hate to admit it, we grew up watching Flipper reruns on the old tube, so our jaw dropped to the floor when we came upon this. The bionic dolphin is part speed boat, part submarine. It seats two people and is powered by a 425-horsepower Corvette engine. It can stand upright…

Transformer Chair Puts Megatron to Shame

We’ve seen some weird robots before, but this one hits an 8 on the freak factor scale. Created by Raffaello D’Andrea and Max Dean, the Transformer chair looks like your grandmother’s ordinary kitchen chair, but say the magic words and it collapses itself and then transforms itself back into a chair. Don’t believe us? Check…

Robotic Hand Plays Beethoven

How would you like a robotic hand that mime-plays Beethoven’s 5th, Joplin’s Entertainer, or Chopin’s Minute Waltz while playing back the actual song? What? You wouldn’t? Yeah, us neither. Especially because all it does is mimic piano movements, and not, you know…other stuff. Nevertheless, this weird-looking hand works on 2AA batteries and starts when you…

This Robot Defies Jesus, Walks on Walls

Hold on to the edge of your seat, boys and girls, because this here robot is poised to Blow. You. Away. Not only is it made of metal and rubber, in and of itself completely mind-boggling and on more than one occasion made me question my own hollow existence, but it can also walk up…

JR Robotics Gymnastics Robot: Golden

Biped robot? Check. Slick blue paintjob? Check. Lasers? No go. High bar routine? Check. Even though the JR RB-2000 robot is not actually grasping at the bar, this video is still pretty impressive. Hit it at about 40 seconds to watch the Paul Hamm routine begin. Now if they can just make a figure skating…

Excuse Box: No Reason to Tell the Truth

The Excuse Box is a keychain that ends annoying phone conversations with tact. How many times have we all been in this situation: “Hello?” “Hi hon, you missed Sara’s ballet concert, where were you?” “Oh…late night at the factory.” “But you don’t work at the factory…you don’t even have a job.” With the $13 Excuse…

Android Does Karaoke, Gets Bored

It’s been awhile since Korea wowed us with one of their robots, but we gotta say, their follow up to the Ever-1 Android is reminding us too much of our girlfriend (y’know, the one we’ve yet to find). Not only does she love karaoke, but her claim to fame is her ability to show boredom.…

Suicidal, Coca-Cola-Drinking Robot Makes Social Justice Statement, Nobody Cares

One of those America-hating, hippie organizations going by the name of SWAMP (Studies of Work Atmosphere and Mass Production) created a robot called Coke Is It that is programmed to kill itself. Good message to send to the kids out there, SWAMP. The robot is programmed to find puddles of Coca-Cola (you know, the big,…

RuBot II Solves The Rubik’s Cube, Eats Children

We have to say we can’t decide which is scarier, this Rubik’s Cube robot or the metal Cylons on Battlestar Galactica. We’d probably have to go with this one because it’s REAL. The cameras in its eyes scans the cube for a few seconds before using the kitten-crushing arms to solve the puzzle. Maximum solve…

The high-tech killer, which uses GPS for navigation, stands a little over 2-feet tall and…

This AIC-AICookingrobot can make Chinese dishes from various areas of China—Sichua, Huai Yang, and Shandong—all while NOT smoking and cursing. The robot took four years of research and $253,000 to develop, which is more money than you’d have to pay an actual Chinese person to come cook for you every day for four years. This…
