Somewhere in the future it is possible to see flying robots flown by fruit flies! It seems there is some use for them, after all...Enjoy!

I was stunned to see how lifelike they are. Apparently these are real, and you can potentially buy them in the US also for around 60$. The jellyfish also changes color according to its "mood". The company that imports them is called RoboToys, although they seem to be out of stock for the moment.

Here are some pretty awesome animatronics, which have been used in movies or commercials. These guy do this stuff for a living, and you can sure tell they're good at their work. Enjoy!

The coolest robots presented in this video are by far the snakes. Being able to swim in water, rotate on ground, and even raise their front half of the body, they definitely have a bright future ahead. Very cool!

The new hi-tech robot from Japan is Plen. If Asimo could walk, lift up object, and walk up stairs, this little robot takes it to the next robot. He can skate and skateboard, better than me

Trabant was a popular East German car, during the Cold War period. It was spread in all communist countries in Europe. Today cars are built by robots, and have aluminum/composite bodies. The Trabant was made out of pressed cardboard (not joking) and was literally hammered into submission. They just don't build them today like they used to Enjoy!

Another robot demonstration, but with added music this time, making this video one of the coolest robot demonstrations I've seen since the beer launching fridge, even though that doesn't actually qualify as a proper robot.

You can probably remember a Japanese project that we featured similar to this one. If not, here is the link. Anyway this one is more advanced, and probably still largely classified in the way it functions. But yes, it opens the way to some of the greatest Sci-Fi robots you've seen on TV and dreamed about. It's now possible even to make the famous exoskeleton loader we've seen in "Alien".

I've got to say, that those little guys pack in some moves. They probably aren't autonomous, but the moves they pull, and the fact that they get up extremely easy, compensates for it. Really cool, and impressive moves!

Small robots that walk on water like insects? The kitchen table, the walls of a room or the arms of an armchair that are self-cleaning? Two phenomena that Xiao Cheng Zeng, a professor of chemistry at University of Nebraska in Lincoln (USA), considers possible in the near future, and based on the same characteristic: super hidrofobia. Thanks to the computational performance of the super computer of the Riken Institute in Japan, the researcher is able to reproduce the conditions that give the area the property is to "roll" away the drops of water. In nature this phenomenon is observed on the bristles of caterpillars or on lotus flowers, and allows insects that often are seen on ponds slip skate on water. As the authors of the study reported the caterpillars or insects skaters get the super hydrophobia surface through a "two-tier" surface which means a waxy base on which there are microscopic structures like hair, often covered in turn by smaller "hair". These gradients decrease the surface area in contact with the drop of water. The result is that the drop rolls instead of sliding, as it would be a hydrophobic surface.
