The Robot Vacuum Is Part Desktop Accessory, Part Functional Appliance

This past Monday was Clean Off Your Desk Day, and while I cleaned my desk in its honor, I know it won't be long until it's time for another cleaning. (Where does all this dust come from, seriously?)

It's no Roomba; you have to Read more

This is a great idea for bachelors who want to give their homes a more mature look, but aren't ready to part with their toys. Or, you're working on finding a successful cohabitation design balance, you can compromise by letting him keep his Star Wars memorabilia collection under a glass cloche alongside Read more

Perfect Woman Robot

She walks, talks, has an oily T-zone, and her name is Lisa. She's a robot who's been programmed to be the "Perfect Woman" — that is, she does the dishes and sweeps the floor without complaint.

The Boston Dynamics Big Dog

While we're running around chasing UFOs, have we spared a moment to drop our gaze and notice the robotic freaks that are slowly infesting our home planet? Blame the mad scientists. They're responsible for creatures like "Big Dog" here. It walks uphill, stomps through snow, jumps, practically ice skates, gallops like a horse, buzzes like a bee, could go rock climbing if it wanted to, and if you Read more

Where Not To Host Your Kid's B-Day Party

Showbiz Pizza provides animatronic entertainment for kids in the form of The Rock-afire Explosion. When I was a kid, this robot band sang horrendous songs while looking slightly possessed and bobbing their heads unrhythmically. But the times, they are a changing... Read more

Do The Robot...Down The Stairs

Seems as though this robot wasn't quite ready for the stair-stepping challenge.

Find something hilarious online and want to share it with us? Go giggle it! To start Giggling, just add this link to your Read more
