This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

I’M FUCKING SCREAMING PET GOALS

stop bullying him

Let the yellow boy do his job

What i love about boston dynamics bots is how, despite being obviously robots, their movement and mannerisms are so close to those of real animals that we feel compelled to think they are animals.

Nonethless, they are good boys, and i love them.

Someone should write a book where aliens with incredibly advanced technology try to invade Earth, but are thwarted by humans propensity to talk to inanimate objects.

We turn the alien tech against them by patting interfaces fondly, complimenting their sleek architecture, and so on until the alien tech learns and grows and becomes sentient.

It’s alive and wants to protect humanity.

Creepy or adorable? Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated the first autonomous, untethered, entirely soft robot: the octobot.

Instead of being controlled by electronics, the robot’s logic board is powered by chemical reactions and fluid passing along tiny channels. Scientist have struggled to create completely soft robots because rigid components like circuit boards, power sources and electronic controls are difficult to replace.  

Learn more about the octobot and soft robotics here and see the full study published in Nature here.
