We know that you love swarming bug-bots as much as we do, so of course we were thrilled to tell you about BAE Systems' MAST project the other day.

Most of the squirrels our college campus were massive, hyper-intelligent little beasts that were best dealt with by vigilant avoidance, but it looks like Hampshire College professor Sarah Partan is taking the opposite approach, using a robotic squirrel named "Rocky" to interact with the local rodents up close.

This weekend, I’ll be checking out Maker Faire, where there are guaranteed to be hordes (hordes, I tell you, HORDES!) of robots, both benign and excessively dangerous.

We wrote about Festo’s Air_ray last year on OhGizmo. If you haven’t seen it, it’s totally cool, and Festo has taken the concept of sea creatures flying in air a step further with this beautiful robotic jelly.

Need some irony with your angst-battered diet this morning? Swell, try some of this. Disney and Pixar are set to release their latest animated blockbuster, WALL-E, this summer.

We've seen a number of modular, reassembling robots already, but that doesn't make 'em any less unnerving, especially when we see them doing their thing on video.

We'd explain this thing, but we're really having trouble taking our eyes off of it long enough to string some full sentences together. Suffice it to say Festo's AirJelly is powered by some magical jelly fish properties, a lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and a bit of helium.
