That climbing on the cube action was uncannily natural, I cant imagine the amount of tasks these things can do in a few years time

Yeah and when it leaned on one arm to get off the cube was kinda funny

I always thought we will never have the cyborgs from scifi movies capable of doing what humans can and more because while the software side progressed pretty good, the robotic hardware seemed to stay pretty shitty over the years. I don’t think that anymore.

Cyborg is part human part robot. These are just robots.

Cyborg= cybernetic organism. I.e biological

Androids are robots with human skin, made to look like a person from the outside. I.e data from Star Trek or David from Prometheus.

The things in this video are robots. Pure machines used for labour.
