A display of robots that mimic the bio-mechanics of animals for locomotion. Mimicking animal forms of locomotion may be more appropriate for traversing rough terrain, and interacting in human environments. Animal movements covered in this video include Robotic Snake, Robotic Dog, Robotic Dragonfly, Robotic Kangaroo, Robotic Cheetah, and Robotic Bird.

Let's face it, Boston Dynamics is the SpaceX of Robotics, and if you're a fan of robotics like I am, you can't wait to see what they come up with next. While we wait, let's check out some robots developed in Japan capable of doing amazing things. First is the HRP-5P Developed by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science or AIST and Technology. There is legitimate concern over robots taking away jobs in the future, Japan, however, wants this to happen. This is because the country will have a workforce shortage in the future due to declining birth rates and strict immigration laws.

We are living in the midst of a profound technological restructuring of human society. The machines that once only frolicked in science fiction have begun to infiltrate our lives. Self-driving cars promise to transform our roads, and the first truly sophisticated robots have begun laboring in hospitals and construction sites and even Walmart. But behind the autonomous revolution is a mountain of problems. Well, challenges, if you want to be more optimistic.

Chinese restaurant Two Panda Deli in Pasadena, California, recruited a pair of Japanese robot waiters, Tanbo R-1 and Tanbo R-2 (for $20,000 each), to deliver Chow mein to customers and bust out disco moves. Police radio interference compelled them to splatter orange chicken and whirl furiously around in circles. Complex customer requests were also often met with the terse reply: "That's not my problem." In The Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a cyborg killing machine from the future programmed to go back in time, find, and kill Sarah Conner in 1984 Los Angeles.
