At first glance at this video, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it as a clip from Wall-E. But the robot depicted in the footage isn't science fiction - it's very much real. In a video posted by Walt Disney Imagineering, a newly designed bipedal robot walks, struts, dances, and emotes in an impressive display of engineering prowess. The bot also shows off its human interaction skills as it reacts to those around it and even walks behind two children pulling it on a lead. With its expressive head and wiggly antenna, the unnamed robot has been designed to bring the creative designs of animators into the real world using machine learning.

And what a great Tuesday it is. So SAG-AFTRA, the union for actors, claims that their profession is about as dead as a critic of Hillary Clinton. It all has to do with AI replacing real, live actors, which seems redundant of course, replacing Hollywood actors with artificial intelligence is like replacing Vin Diesel with Vin Diesel. But remember, they've done worse. They once replaced humans with "Real Housewives."

Ever wondered what Disney Princesses would look like in real life according to artificial intelligence (AI)? Well, wonder no more, as a recent TikTok video has gone viral for using AI on some of the most popular animated Disney Princesses to imagine their live-action counterparts. The TikTok video, which you can see below, was uploaded by Tony Aubé, a Silicon Valley designer who previously worked at Google AI. The 20-second clip shows images of Frozen's Elsa, Aladdin's Jasmine, The Little Mermaid's Ariel, and the titular Moana against their respective digitally reimagined AI designs, which Aubé was able to make with the help of video reenactment technology. Though not a Disney character, the video also featured an AI reimagining of Princess Fiona from the DreamWorks franchise, Shrek.

Ballet Des Moines' artist in residence, Amenda Tate Corso, creates paintings based on the dancers' motion and movement, find out how in this video. While rehearsing Delcid wears a cell phone transmitting a Bluetooth signal to a movement controlled robot creating art based on his motion. Gliding across a small stage, the dancer's arm flourished with the ornamentation of the music and punctuated each pass of the platform with a staccato embellishment. But this particular dancer was distinctly different from the men and women relevéing and jeté-ing nearby. Manibus, as this flapjack-sized dancing robot is called, is the creation of local engineer-turned-artist Amenda Tate Corso, Ballet Des Moines' newest artist-in-residence. The Manibus project, which captures a dancer's movements via a motion-sensor app and translates them into a painting, marks Ballet Des Moines' first foray into the emerging national trend of marrying computational technology with dance.
