interesting + amazing + creepy + fascinating + ‘it’s coming to get me’ new footage of boston dynamic’s big dog pack mule robot traversing through the woods and snow. while it looks like two actors in leotards performing an elaborate mummenschanz show, it’s not. it’s a robot, built to walk & deliver supplies, and it can’t fall down. in fact, i can hear it approaching right now … yikes … gotta go!
very cool time-lapsed video clip of what is called an automatic graffiti robot. the art is created using a spray can attached to cables running on a X / Y axis. the cables control or press the nozzle on the spray can at precise moments. the cable are moved & controlled by a computer program. it reminds me of a giant plotter printer. very cool idea! the clip is from 2006 but i haven’t been able to find any other info on this artist other that the video. anyway, enjoy!

from the beautifully twisted wonder-showzen (and i suspect the same smart & twisted minds that animated the extra special he-bro) comes a new sheriff in town. half wino + half machine = 100% winobot.
amazing story of claudia mitchell, the woman who was fitted with the first bionic arm, and how she has now regained her sense of touch with the bionic arm. “I just think about moving my hand and elbow, and they move. I think, ‘I want my hand open’ and it happens.” incredible! as with previous posts on all things bionic, we must dedicate this moment to sci-fi becoming reality (or what you can imagine becoming real) by again posting the opening and closing theme music to the Six Million Dollar Man.
