Industrial Robot Performs Tattoo
Knowing what robotics are capable of, it is only a matter of time before you can get a tattoo performed by a robot. This guy in France has one now. But it was more of a test than anything. The scary thing about this robot tattoo is that they did a 3D scan of the […]
Samsung SR2AK9350U Turbo Powerbot Vacuum
Robotic vacuums have been around for quite a while. The best known of the bunch tends to be the iRobot Roomba line of vacuums. I have been avoiding the Roomba’s ever since I have gotten ahold of my iLife A4 Smart Robotic Vacuum. You can read more about that here. I digress. Samsung is placing a […]

Adidas Using Robots To Bring Shoe Production Back To Germany
It seems that most gadgets, apparel, and anything plastic is being made in developing nations. No surprise, right? Companies are always trying to save money and will go where labor is cheaper. This isn’t always a good thing. It looks like the next wave of manufacturing is going to be done by robots. This means […]

The End Is Near: Tiny Robot Tank With Laser Guided Gun
Clearly, this is where the future is headed. Scary stuff. Dogo, from General Robotics, is a tiny 26-pound remote controlled robotic tank that has an onboard 9mm Glock pistol. IT even has two-way audio, presumably so you can do your best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression before pulling the virtual trigger. “It trundles along at 2.5 miles […]
ILIFE A4 Smart Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
I used to be a fan of the Roomba robotic vacuums but I haven’t had much luck with the last two I have purchased. Roomba prices have remained high while quality has slipped. Another Roomba frustration is the fact that I have replaced the battery 3 times in a matter of a year. Goodbye Roomba, […]
Giant Robot Fighting Is One Step Closer To Reality
BattleBots is a TV show where people build relatively small robots that are remote controlled. These BattleBots then fight to the death in a caged arena. It is amazing to watch because some of the robot designs are very unconventional and make for unpredictable fights. Now imagine a much larger scale of the same thing. […]

3D Printed Houses
The houses in this video were printed with a giant 3D printer that uses construction waste and cement as the medium. The houses in the video were printed in Shanghai. They managed to print ten houses in 24 hours. The roofs, however, were built using traditional building materials. The inventor behind this 3D house printer is Ma […]
