Since It’s Friday - Crazy Robotic Horse

This robotic horse is crazy. It looks like someone found loads of stuff at the car graveyard and put it together in the shape of a horse. The horse blows fire through his nose and seems to be better at scaring kids than at entertaining them. Have a good weekend!

Hod Lipson - Self Aware Robots

Hod Lipson demonstrates a few of his unusual robots, which have the ability to learn, understand themselves and even self-replicate. At the root of this demo is an inquiry into the nature of how humans and living beings learn and evolve, and how we might harness these processes to make things that learn and evolve.
