Robo Roundup: Big Dog’s Cuz
Boston Dynamics, creators of that odd four legged beast that might have wobbled but did not fall down, is back with a bi-ped creation. Pretty swell walk if you ask us.
I wish I could find a version of this in higher resolution… but for now, this is all we have to put in the bowl. Makes me want to make a contraption…

Robot Music: Live In New York
So you want that big sound of many people making music at the same time but just don’t have enough friends who bang drums? Just invite some robots over and start jamming.
If you need some tips from the robo-masters, Mike Hearst. (featured below) is going to be performing LIVE at Here (145 6th Ave. NY, NY (between Spring & Broome, enter on Dominick) in NYC next weekend. For Tickets & Information: www.here.org or call 212-352-3101
Songs about ice cream trucks and unusual animals being played on funny instruments (tuba, theramin, stylophone, claviola) and accompanied by a batallion of self-playing musical instruments, ie: musical robots. It’s a very happy experience.
For this event Michael Hearst will perform a selection of new compositions inspired by some of the lesser known animals that roam the planet. From the Australian Bilby, to the deep-sea Magnopinna Squid, the songs will be brought to life by Michael Hearst (One Ring Zero / Songs For Ice Cream Trucks) on theremin and claviola, Ron Caswell (Slavic Soul Party) on Tuba, Ben Holmes (One Ring Zero) trumpet and flugelhorn, and Allyssa Lamb (Las Rubias Del Norte) on keyboard, plus a gaggle of musical instrument robots provided by LEMUR.
This robo throws a net at robbers. The RoboCops are coming; don’t mess with them.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, remember how at the end of Iron Giant, the pieces started to put themselves together again? Well, we just got one step closer to that future too.
Macropinna has a see-through head and tubular eyes. It can also outsmart a robot.

Hope For A Different Sort Of Change
We love our President. And we have a lot of Hope. And we are all about change. But laughs are pretty important in our bowl. This earned some for sure, but got bonus stars for the robots.
