The end is near! At least the end of wheeled robots. Learn about these crazy technological advancements with the US Army's Petman project that can walk upright for suit protection testing, and a morphing mobile robot able to change shape to fit into small spaces. Thanks to these new breakthroughs, no matter where you run or hide, you can't escape today's featured robots.

Scientists today are turning to science fiction when it comes to robotic development. Check out Japan's Power-loader exoskeleton suit inspired by 'Aliens', a robotic arm gas pump, and the RIBA teddy bear nurse.

Little known fact: not all robots are out to destroy humanity. Some of them like to be nice and help us out. Check out these life-saving robots, like Japan's Rescue Bot designed to save disaster victims, chef bots who can cook up a nice meal, and more.

Those damn robots keep getting smarter and smarter, all thanks to us! We take a look at a pair of robotic arms that can throw a perfect pitch, a robot with a memory, and an update on the beloved ASIMO. Look for these same robots on the battlefield when the war with the machines finally erupts.

This edition of Robot News won't make you feel good (or very smart) with a substitute robot teacher in Japan, a machine that can read, and an emo humanoid. Humans are about to be replaced.

We catch up with Stephen Kozak, Safety Chief Engineer of Body Engineering from Ford, who treats us to some curb jumping, side rockets, and car simulations -- all in the name of safety!

Not every robot is designed to look human. Take, for example, these innovative little piles of nuts and bolts, which emulate penguins, beetles, and geckos. The robot revolution is changing species, and we kinda like it. Check out all the news there is in the world of robots, right here.

The world has a lot to offer itself in the way of robots, but Japan takes the cake with their latest; a runway-ready femmebot fashion model. Yeah, wait 'til you see her (it?). You might find yourself feeling a little funny about being hot for a robot, but we're all friends here, so you just enjoy yourself.

Want a bionic hamster? Interested in playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with a robot? Maybe you're looking for a virtual reality floor that moves in reverse to compensate for your movement through an environment. It's all in Robot News.

So, check your source for all things robot, and prepare thyself for the oncoming robot onslaught by checking out the news.

The world of robots is evolving at quite a clip, and today we're here to tell you about a Pong playing bot that will destroy you, a 3-story ping-pong ball launching bot, and an automaton built to look just like you.

We're not sure why you would want to have something that always beats you at videogames, something that launches ping-pong balls at your face, and something that looks and acts just like you, but then again, we're not sure about a lot of things.
