21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)...

This incredibly lifelike animatronic Abraham Lincoln is the work of Garner Holt Productions, which has been making robots for theme parks, museums, and other attractions for 40 years. We get up close to this robot and chat with its creator, Garner Holt, about the state of animatronics you see in places like Disneyland and what's to come.

We haven’t seen much of ATLAS since Google sold Boston Dynamics to Softbank, aside from a few bloopers that gave humanity a false sense of superiority. But this brief one-minute video shows the robot jumping on and off platforms, spinning in the air, and performing a perfect backflip.

A BACKFLIP! That’s the kind of thing you only see robots doing in the movies, but it’s apparently now our sobering reality.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a shape-shifting robot that’s something of a superhero: It can transform itself with different “outfits” that allow it to perform different tasks.

One of the traditions of the Olympics is the torch relay, in which people carry the flame from Olympia, Greece to the location of the Games. In 2018, the Olympic Games will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the torch relay is currently underway. Earlier this week, the HUBO, the humanoid robot, carried the flame for part of its journey.

HUBO only covered 150 meters (about 500 feet) with the torch, but its presence was largely symbolic. As part of its torch duties, HUBO performed an example of a disaster rescue operation in which it cut a hole in a brick wall (while still holding the torch). It was intended as a "display of innovation and creativity," according to PyeongChang 2018 Organizing Committee President LEE Hee-beom.

A robot cop isn't the future — it's now.

Dubai police added a robotic officer to its force, and plans to add more over the next few years. (Don’t worry, it doesn’t have a gun.) 

 It even knows how to salute.
