Video Friday: Giant Robot Bug, SpaceX Rocket Landing, and Flamethrower Drone

IEEE Spectrum Robotics 

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next two months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. It moves just a little too quickly for my general level of comfort around robots that look like giant bugs. I don't think it's recognized widely enough that SpaceX is building giant rockety robots with a whole bunch of very sophisticated autonomy going on: At some point, someone in a meeting said, "The best way to solve this problem is by putting a flamethrower on a drone."
