More Human-like Robot Walking (Video)
It seems like suddenly we have a competition going on to see who can produce the most life-like humanoid robot walking routines.
Here's the latest entry into the fray from Ikaziso using the V-Sido system:
It is pretty realistic, though it does tend to resemble a fashion model strutting her stuff down the runway at times. In any case, I totally appreciate and applaud their efforts and their willingness to share the results with us via YouTube. Hopefully they will share more of the underlying secrets as well.
Biped Robot Walks Just Like A Human Being (Video)
Dr. Guero, famous for his bicycling robot, has fine-tuned/hacked a Kondo KHR-3HV humanoid robot to walk with a gait that is so close to an actual human being that it's spooky.
Knowledgeable robot developers will immediately notice some of Dr. Guero's changes, including the surprisingly small footprint. It appears that he has been able to achieve smooth walking, even on a smooth slippery floor, using feet that are essentially small aluminium brackets rather than the larger stock feet supplied by Kondo.
So far the only data available is included in the description field of the video he uploaded to YouTube a few hours ago. Hopefully he'll share more details on his website, or in a future RoboCon magazine issue.

Is Developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethical? | Idea Channel | PBS (Video)
Here's a robot video that I found interesting:If you're even the slightest bit familiar with pop culture from the past 50 years, you know that we've been anxiously awaiting robots to become a part of our daily lives. From R2-D2 to the Jetsons, our future robot companions promise to be helpful and handy! But many people have their concerns: will the development of artificial intelligence end up REPLACING humans in the work force, pushing already high unemployment through the roof?!?! These new laborers will likely do not just undesirable jobs (janitorial, coal mining, etc), but also the high paying premium jobs, like surgeons and lawyers. But can, or SHOULD, we stop progress?

Hands-On with the Arduino Robot at Maker Faire 2013 (Video)
Here's a robot video that I found interesting:Arduino debuted a new programmable robotics platform at this year's Maker Faire, designed to be enhanced with sensors and easily programmable with sample code. We chat with Arduino co-founder David Cuartielles about how the Arduino robot is a good entry to robotics and why it's unlike the Arduino microcontrollers you may be familiar with.
