New real life giant mech robot!
.
Well, it looks like the Japanese have beaten us again in the field of robotics. This time they have created a 13-foot Mech robot that actually moves! The video that unveiled this robot was uploaded on July 30th, so this is a completely new robot. In the video, it shows the robot moving its waist and arms. It also shows a visual on how the robot sees it's environment. At least it sees in multiple colors instead of the creepy red terminator vision. The robot itself can be controlled by a pilot or by a smart phone (Yay, just what we need. Anybody with a smart phone can control a deadly and hostile robot!). The robot has four wheels for mobility, a 30 joint exoskeleton, claws to pick things up, and it can even shoot fireworks! Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see this bot in action!

Nao: evolution of dance
.
If you remembered YouTube user, TheAmazel, then you already know about his amazing Nao videos. The most popular video he has made was uploaded just a few weeks ago and it already has over 300,000 views. The reason it's popular is because it's a collection of dance moves performed by Nao himself. If you like the original evolution of dance, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this video too!

Review of the sphero robotic ball
.
Today, I was lucky enough to get a Sphero robotic ball at Brookstone. Once I got home, I ripped open the box and put the bot to the test. Just like in the video ad by Orbotix, this robotic ball really rolls smoothly and it's capabilities with an iPod are truly amazing. I have yet to encounter a problem with this little robot. My favorite features are that I can change it's color and the robot charges using wireless induction technology. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see my review and use of the Sphero robotic ball.

CNN video: Robots vs. terrorists
.
A new robotics video was uploaded today by the official CNN YouTube channel. The video features a SWAT team using a small robot scout to help them capture a criminal. They talk about how the little robot can help them during certain operations. The robot itself has two all terrain wheels, a camera, microphone, and even IR sensors. All these high tech features help law enforcement officers capture the criminals and save the day. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see the bot in action!
