No mention of Boston Dynamics? I am disappointed :/

[retchie]

Im a proud human, nothing should be sacred when it comes to advancements, technology and science!

Robots make a lot of useful products, and now they are growing to become a household product too.
*Future is great !*

2:26 that gecko robot is the one that fascinated me most. it can pull 2000x its weight

[duckyduck]

2:05 Looks like jackfilms finally got some competition.

[jeefberky]

I feel like "inspired by nature" kinda goes without saying when the robot is named after an animal or bug and looks almost exactly like them

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

You forgot about Phinedroids and Ferbots

[OutOfCuriosity]

Video is too short! On a more serious note, nice infos, thanks.

[vokayl]

[melanieh.]

I was super surprised with the robot bat the most

[miyabi]

See this is the beginning of the entire premise of Robogenesis and I don't know if I'm living for it or terrified of it.

[bashundersmarck]

Are there any studies that cover subjects like this?

[TheExoplanetsChannel]

I wish one day I can have my own robot, like in the movie ' *I, Robot* '

[dingo]

I want to see the programming done on that self walking robot...

[yourlocalguardsman]

This is starting to sound more like the technology in Big Hero 6

[jjenk]

Pretty cool. *ALL HAIL OUR ROBOT OVERLORDS!*

[Rawqei]

2:04 HIS FOREHEAD im sorry i had to say that

[crcoghill]

Microbots will play a role in the robot takeover.
