Looks like the folks over at Drexel University’s Autonomous Systems Lab made a new leg for HUBO 2. It should give the bot more strength obviously. Wonder what they’re up to. Maybe they have some sports planned for HUBO or a nice jog. Maybe they just want him to kick other bots in the butt.
If you think that you’re safe because Honda’s Asimo walks so slow and is on the small side. Think again. Some of these humanoids are getting downright coordinated. This video of the Korean Institute of Advanced Science and Technology’s recent advances on its HUBO project is a cautionary tale. Why? Because we get to see HUBO walking around quite able, flexing steel fingers as if in preparation to crack some necks and even handling a sword.
In other words run! Hide! Because when HUBO puts a beating on you a few years from now, you’ll wonder why you didn’t pay more attention to this video and heed our words.

 Robots are a fact of life. Soon they will kill us. We’d like to document the coming apocalypse. |
