Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said that in the future, humans will be the pets of robots. Which, given the following, is still an optimistic scenario. And when we imagine the apocalypse, it doesn't usually start with an innocent game of ping pong, but the following footage of an Omron robot playing ping pong with humans and working to easily subdue not only its ping pong opponent but all of humanity suggests that we should also consider such a scenario.

When we like robots that help us with many daily tasks and take on more and more tasks - which is otherwise great, because they make our work easier and save time - we fail to recognize that there is an "evil" plan behind this benevolence. So don't be surprised if one day you wake up and find a robot at your workplace. Check the probability that your job will be taken over by a robot in the future.
Artificial intelligence is something fascinating and something scary at the same time when we think about what it is capable of. It comes in all kinds of forms, found in smartphones and other devices like robots. One such is the Musio robot from AKA, which puts a friendly face on artificial intelligence. It is a personal robot that wants to be your friend, that learns and helps with daily household chores, answering e-mails, etc.
Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google, has introduced a four-legged robot called Spot. It is the latest marvel of robotic technology, with the most sophisticated autonomous walking to date. Thanks go mainly to advanced sensors, excellent software and artificial intelligence, which is reflected in the incredible adaptability of the Spot, for which neither stairs, nor icy floors, nor slopes strewn with stones are a problem. But he also takes the kick stoically.
Do you shop at Amazon? If you've ever dreamed of being Iron Man and having a robot suit like Robert Downey Jr., your dream may come true. Today, it is true that there are already quite a few robot suits that perform various functions, but all of them are almost unattainable for ordinary mortals. Kuratas offered his robot suit right on the Japanese Amazon, albeit for a million dollars.
We are used to seeing robots helping people with everyday tasks in various sci-fi movies. But reality is catching up with you more and more diligently. RoboDynamics has just started fundraising on Kickstarter for the first human-sized personal robot, Luna.
The grumpy cat will rightly not be impressed this time. An invention that has more than nine lives comes from Japan. Well, when it seems that it can't get any more bizarre, the Japanese outdo themselves once again. And next on the list of "it's not true but it is" is an eerily realistic robot cat named Yumo Neko Dream Cat Celeb, which a real cat will probably be more than jealous of.
The Savioke company is pleased to announce their new discovery – a welcoming assistant, the SaviOne robot. Starting August 20, anyone who wants to can see the robot in person at the Aloft Hotel in Cupertino, California.
Basement Jaxx duo's new music video continues a string of oddities in their repertoire, as it follows the scientific process of creating a robot that, in the final stage, closely imitates twerking, the sexually seductive dance that Miley Cyrus launched into the stratosphere. Hmmm, maybe it's time for the British duo to spin their own "Where's your head at?"
We are slowly entering the era when robots will perform everyday tasks for us and entertain us at every step in our home.
It is clear that the ten-year-old mastered the virtual world better than his grandfather. But for a five-year-old to know how to program? Also clear!
From October 10 to 12, the symposium of the international festival of art, technology and science Speculum Artium will be held in Trbovlje, where every year projects representing the intersection between art and science are presented.
