This video is frightfully impressive. This is all the work of a hobbyist and V-Sido software, which, if you want, you can get here. As you watch this video think about the robot’s balance. It simply isn’t falling over despite leaning quite some distances in some of the Kinect-powered poses. It’s impressive stuff. This particular […]
PLEO rb (aka Pleo Reborn) on video
The Pleo isn’t dead. Phew. Although the original company weren’t able to weather the economic climate the cute robotic dinosaur was picked up and saved by Innvo. The next generation of Pleo has just been revealed at the Hony Kong Electronic Show. The new Pleo – known as the Pleo rb – is blue rather […]
Summer time lapse of a life-sized Gundam
Anime heroes tend to come and go. Sure, the likes of Bleach, Dragonball Z or even Pokemon have been around for years – but compare that to Batman or Superman. Compare those to the likes of the Phantom or the Shadow. I’m no expert but my gut feeling is that Gundam is one of the […]
C.R.A.B. Police Robot is scary awesome
This video from Jamie Martin is well worth a watch. It’s also worth checking out his C.R.A.B. Dalton/Stanley micro-site. You can even follow Jamie on Twitter at @jamiemartinart. Right now he has 70 followers. I bet that number is going to soar! The results of their historical collaboration has been to produce the most advanced […]
Sci-fi Air Bender, oh, and Fire Bender, Water Bender and Earth Bender
Imagine a war torn future. It has man eating aliens. Weapons that can destroy planets. Can you imagine what the Air Bender from that world would be like? Can you imagine what that sci-fi Fire Bender would be like? Well! Imagine no more. Using very clever algorithmic analysis, combined with probability curves and projection theory – we […]
I like big bots t-shirt
I rarely urge Geek Native readers to go buy a specific t-shirt. Rarely; but not never. Once and a while there comes a t-shirt that’s so ace I dream of seeing everyone in the shopping centre wearing it at the same time (while someone important visits; like the Queen). Snorgtees needs a special thank you […]
Ninjas and Robots: In Soviet Russia, dolls nest you!
Sometimes Think Geek just has the most awesome stuff. You know those Russian dolls that stack inside themselves – imagine having a robot set. No! Imagine being able to unstack ninja; each one smaller than the last! One hundred percent awesome! As Think Geek say; “In Soviet Russia, dolls nest you!”
Winking space hedgehog, I Am Not a Robot and Stella Artois
I’m posting this ad for three reasons; 1) I really like Marina and the Diamonds – and their single I Am Not a Robot 2) I like space hedgehogs (I wonder if they know Boo the Space Hamster) 3) I like Stella Artois and I’m not ashamed to say so! The problem is this ad […]
A dancing robot, maNga and Eurovision
Eurovision has just finished here in Europe. If you’re unaware of the event, then let’s just say it’s a cross between the World Cup and some music talent show. What’s this got to do with Geek Native? Well…. to my surprise, the entry from Turkey is from a band called Manga. The band is called […]
Stunning: Robot artist creates Halo helmet
This video of a Japanese machining robot is pretty. Well; to the right geeky sort of mind set anyway. I love the way it carves so easily through the metal. It looks like someone carving into light plastic or foam. The choice of sculpture is enough to make this video a must watch for any […]
