While the Robot iPhone Case certainly isn’t the most practical way to protect your iPhone, it’s perfect for the device with a mean streak. The iPhone and robots have several things in common, not the least being that they both have their eyes set on world domination. If they joined forces, who knows what the world might look like in ...

What happens when you put an iron-fisted nun, a hungry shark and a heartless robot together in one room? Violence and mayhem. While we’ve seen our share of epic battles in the past, this is our first three-way battle. The robot seems to be sort of waiting it out in the back, waiting for his other two opponents to weaken. ...

Sort of like peeing in the snow after being exposed to a strong dose of radiation, these lined “lightdrawings” really glow. But unlike urine, these drawings don’t smell like last night’s asparagus. At least, we assume they don’t. The Lightdrawing Robot by German designer Nils Voelker creates lit photo designs by moving colored LED lights as a camera shoots a ...

If you don’t think your neighbors would think too kindly of your having a live-in robot posing a wine rack, no worries. This Robot Wine Rack ships with an incognito mustache. Guests will wonder who your new debonair house guest is. Just tell them its your little secret. Of course, the mustache is purely optional, but why not? Lacking a ...

When we claimed that Michael Jackson might just be a cyborg, we weren’t that far off. Apparently, MJ was planning to create his very own robotic doppelganger, even going as far as creating blueprints for the mechanical beast. Detailed 3D scans were made of Jackson’s body before he died with the intention of creating an “eerily-lifelike robotic duplicate.” The late ...

I’m not driving with you anymore. No way. I’ve had enough bruises to last me a lifetime, thank you very much. Nope, I’d like you to meet AIDA, short for Affective Intelligent Driving Assistant. Basically this little guy will take my place, and hopefully take my place as your punching bag. I’m tired of dressing as a robot anyway. AIDA ...

Here is one bot that won’t be forced to sing “If I Only Had a Brain…” to any absent-minded wizard. The bo’ts head is composed of a fully-functioning iPhone 3GS, its body composed of a Kondo KHR-2HV bot. The iPhone connects to the body via a special dock. Dubbed Robochan, the iPhone serves as the bot’s face and brain, simulating ...

Not having much luck with the “ladies-with-actual-organs” circuit quite yet? She might not be a Lucy Liu bot, but she’s about as close as we’re going to get for now. This HRP-4C unit got the royal treatment, dressing up in a Yumi Katsura wedding dress and strutting her synthetic stuff all over the runway. If you’re attracted to open-mouthed soulless ...

A lucky three-year-old geek is fortunate enough to have a mother who succumbs to his geeky urges. These butter frosting robot cupcakes look absolutely delicious. Any leftovers? I’d hate to have to hold that kid ransom for some damned baked goods. Don’t worry, robot readers. If you’re a good little bot maybe your programmer will install a taste simulation program. ...

Since we happen to be the number one parkour resource on the interwebz, we couldn’t not (double negative, you like that shit?) post this Carl Erik Rinsch-directed video of an animated CGI robot performing some crazy street jumping, inspired by a NIKE commercial. Parkour is so badass, even robots are getting into the action. Link
