Video Friday: MIT Origami Robots, Sphero Mini, and Headless Robotic Cat

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. Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) had developed a new shape-shifting robot that's something of a superhero: It can transform itself with different "outfits" that allow it to perform different tasks. Dubbed "Primer," the cube-shaped robot can be controlled via magnets to make it walk, roll, sail, and glide.
