Thumbs up Mobile Robot does CNC

This is pretty neat! They've designed a robot to do cnc work.

This video is sped up so turn down your sound.

Hexapods rule.

The iC Hexapod (from the same people, I think) is about the coolest thing I've ever seen.

hehe, very cool. I still find the Boston Dynamics robotic mule to be coolest thing I've seen in robotics to date though.

True that the BD "Mule" is awesome, but if it breaks down the hexapod could be programmed to repair it. This is a great step forward for autonomous repair robot's!

I'm just waiting for them to get wireless networking so that they can communicate. Then iC can take pictures of people and the other one can sculpt them.

I guess after that the machine uprising is only a matter of time...
