Video Friday: Robots Building Robots, EggBot Op Art, and The Beginning of T-1000

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your shapeshifting Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few 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. HEBI Robotics, who we like because they make snake robots that also work as legs for non-snake robots, have just released a new modular robot actuator that's geared towards general-purpose robotics and looks pretty awesome: This series of powerful robot module allow engineers, researchers, and industrial integrators to quickly and easily create world-class custom robots of any configuration. These actuators are packed with sensors that enable controllable position, velocity, and sensitive torque control as well as three axis inertial measurement.
