Here's a video of a small robot Humvee that transforms into a biped. I've seen a couple of these types of robots before, but this one's auto and robot modes are quite convincing.

Oh.. and it's got some sick dance moves.

This is a cool interactive hexapod robot made by Matt Denton. Using facial recognition, it's able to track you around and take a photo of your face if you hold it's gaze for too long. In all, its responses are pretty lifelike and worth checking out.

Motor-sports at it's finest. On an episode of Top Gear, team Volkswagen challenges Toyota to a game of football.

This is probably the best movie pilot ever made, perfecting all the great themes that you've come to expect from the classic dino-archeology, drift racing, interdimensional physics genre.

I was pretty impressed with Kanye West's new music video which retells the anime classic, Akira, to the audio backdrop of Daft Punk's "Stronger." Kanye plays the part of Tetsuo, the emotionally unstable youth who is struggling to manage an increasing power that is out of his control.

The mashup works extremely well, though I would have loved to see Tetsuo's signature uncontrolled mutations instead of popular music's obligatory uncontrolled hot dancing woman.

80s music video plus campy robot costumes. Could you ask for more?

This dude can rock two guitars at the same time! There are a few more, but I'm a big fan of his interpretation of the Simpsons theme.

I was really moved by this video. So were 1.5 million other people.

If you liked the Tetra Vaal video ( http://www.meshly.com/post/robot... ), you'll also want to watch Alive in Joberg.

Also directed by Neill Blomkamp, it takes the similar documentary fiction style. Aliens have landed in South Africa, fomenting inter-species classism, discrimination, fear and violence.

As you might have guessed from the title, this is totally irresponsible, offensive, inhumane, and I never should have posted it.

But I did anyway. Sorry.

Mr. Woo makes incredible walking robots from recycled junk parts. Incredibly, he's doing this in rural China, with no formal education or training.

This is the second trailer I've seen for the Transformers movie that's coming out July 4th. I so hope they release a new toy series that backs up the badassness of the robots in the film.

Here's a really interesting live-action film produced by Jim Henson prior to his focus on the Muppets. From the Google video description:

This philosophical teleplay covers many themes such as, the nature of reality, individual versus scientific perception, self-reference, man's relation to others and society, insanity, social projections, and race relations. It originally aired on NBC's weekly anthology television show NBC Experiment in Television February 23, 1969. The production was produced and directed by Jim Henson, and was one of several experiments with the live-action film medium which he conducted in the 1960s, before focusing entirely on the Muppets and other puppet works. The screenplay was co-written by long-time Muppet writer Jerry Juhl (who also appears in a cameo).

If you are interested, here is a yahoo group devoted to this film: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JI...

A really cool (but odd) music video I happened across on the internet archive.

It consists of a bunch of retro video footage of fake and real robots -- think worlds fair -- to which a chorus of "robot love, I love you" is sung by a pitch-tweaked child.
