IT’S A VERY TOUGH AND RESILIENT ROBOT

Robotics has advanced tremendously. We already have highly efficient machines designed for specific tasks: autonomous vehicles that glide effortlessly, robotic arms with surgical precision, and quadrupeds that can traverse any terrain without losing balance. Yet, one type of robot continues to dominate headlines and absorb an enormous amount of resources—bipedal humanoids.

Why the relentless push to make them walk like us? More than a technical necessity, there's a psychological factor at play. A human-shaped robot is perceived as more socially integrated, more trustworthy, and it aligns with the image that pop culture has been feeding us for decades. It doesn’t matter if they still stumble, struggle with stairs, or collapse from a simple push. What matters is that they remind us of ourselves.

The reality is that most of these robots don’t have a specific function. They are not designed to optimize any particular task but rather serve as experimental prototypes showcasing how far engineering can go in replicating human locomotion. But is this really the best path forward? While we pour time and money into making them walk like us, we could be developing far more functional machines without such a pointless limitation.

Maybe one day, we’ll move past our humanoid obsession and start designing robots that don’t need to look like us to be truly useful.

A journalist reports on the humanoid G1 robot from Unitree Robotics: "It’s a very tough and resilient robot. Let’s put it to the test."

I SAW THAT GOING DIFFERENTLY IN MY MIND VOL94

In their head it was going perfectly, but reality had other ideas. We've all had that moment: visualizing something epic—an amazing jump, the perfect prank, or some movie-worthy move. But then life, with its twisted sense of humor, decides to bring you crashing down to earth.

It's that exact instant when you confidently dive in thinking you're about to crush it, only to end up crushed yourself—lying on the ground, slightly injured, your pride in tatters, and an improvised audience laughing uncontrollably. The intent was spot-on; the execution, not so much.

What's crucial is accepting the outcome with dignity (or whatever remains of it), getting up with your best poker face, and praying no one filmed the disaster. But let's be real—someone always films it.

I SAW THAT GOING DIFFERENTLY IN MY MIND VOL95

In their head, it was simple: jump the fence, dodge the obstacle, impress the crew. But life, always a big fan of chaos, had other plans—ones with stumbles, faceplants, secondhand embarrassment, and of course, someone filming it all.

That’s how the best stories are born: with good intentions, questionable choices, and endings no one saw coming... except you, because you already know these videos never end well.

THE GOLF CART INCIDENT

This is exactly how it should’ve ended. No collateral damage, no innocent bystanders harmed—just a drunk guy with fewer reflexes than drinks, ejected from the very golf cart he was driving, only to get run over by it moments later. Golf-course poetic justice at its finest. Perfect.

THE CLASSIC MOVE: HIDE AND HOPE THEY DRIVE PAST

A biker in the U.S. recorded his own GTA 5-style police chase using a 360-degree camera. It’s not clear what exactly he did, but he definitely stirred up some serious trouble—he’s being chased by local cops, State Troopers, and even a helicopter. Full-on wanted level vibes.

At first, it looks like he might actually get away with it, riding a high-powered bike like a pro... but you’ll have to see how it ends for yourself.
Everything was caught on a 360-degree camera, the kind that uses multiple wide-angle lenses to film in every direction and then stitches it all into one panoramic video.
