Video Friday: Dexterous Humanoid, Self-Driving Car Naps, and Passenger Drones

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 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. If you thought the "vision" video is a bit much, the capabilities video is less singing and more interesting: Sebastian Thrun's self-flying car company Cora has a passenger drone that may be somewhat less terrible than most other passenger drones: I like Cora primarily because it has wings that can generate lift even if the electrical systems or software systems fail. I'm still not sold on the idea of you not needing a pilot's license to be in one, but this design does seem significantly more survivable than most.
