Real Robots

Here are some videos of real robots! These are all research projects (done by robot doctors, I guess): This one is from a robot dog that some people in Boston are working on. This robot can carry more than 100 pounds on its back and its strong! My favorite part of this is when the guy pushed the dog on the ice and it doesn't fall.
Here's a video of a snake on wheels:
Here's a video of a robot fish:
These robots work together to make something bigger that can walk. They can also find each other:
Here's another video of a lot of robots making a bigger one:
This one from the same people show its robots climbing:
This is a video showing a robot salamander swimming and walking. It also shows a snake both moving and swimming. I think the snake has wheels, but it can swim too:
These robots can talk to each other and can follow around a moving object (probably for robot soccer):
Here are a bunch of robots talking to each other to figure out how to spell something:
Geckobot is a amall robot that can climb smooth surfaces straight up:
Robots connecting into bigger robots:
This one is a bunch of smaller robots working together, but its not all real yet:
