A Russian electronics store released footage of its robot assistant allegedly striking a customer with kicks and punches after the man pushed it, but whether the incident was real or a publicity stunt remains an open question. The video, which went viral on social media, shows a male customer walking into Volga Electronics in Saratov, Russia, and extending his hand toward the store's robot assistant for a handshake. The robot ignored him. The customer then pushed the robot, and the machine responded with a flurry of kicks and punches directed squarely at the man. Two store employees rushed in to intervene, physically trying to hold the robot back. No injuries have been reported, and the store itself released the footage publicly, a…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Weightlifting robot topples onto judges' table at China's cyborg Olympics, gets hauled off on a stretcher
A humanoid robot competing in the weightlifting final at China's World Humanoid Robot Games collapsed head first onto a judges' table after failing to lift a weight, a moment that undercut Beijing's ambitious push to dominate the global robotics race.

A humanoid robot competing in the weightlifting final at China's World Humanoid Robot Games collapsed head first onto a judges' table after failing to lift a weight, a moment that undercut Beijing's ambitious push to dominate the global robotics race. The black and white robot gripped the weight, quivered, and managed to hoist it above its head before the shaking worsened. It dropped the weight, malfunctioned, stumbled toward the judges' table, and collapsed directly onto it. Officials immediately halted the competition and declared the attempt over. Staff in red vests placed the robot on a stretcher and escorted it off the floor, the Daily Mail reported . No cause of the malfunction was given. No injuries to judges or staff were…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - China's 'Superman' robot claims to outrun Usain Bolt — but nobody has verified it
A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people. Hangzhou-based Unitree posted video to X showing a bipedal machine it calls "Superman" sprinting along a track […] The post China's 'Superman' robot claims to outrun Usain Bolt — but nobody has verified it appeared first on American Almanac .
A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people. Hangzhou-based Unitree posted video to X showing a bipedal machine it calls "Superman" sprinting along a track at what the company says was 12.66 metres per second. If accurate, that figure edges past the 12.42 m/s mark Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championship, a record no human has touched since. The robot also jumped roughly two metres straight up from a standing position, clearing the 1.7-metre standing vertical record held by American Christopher Spell since 2021. Unitree packaged the demonstration as a…Open
YOUTUBE (NewsNation) - Philosopher who predicted AI’s rise warns humans aren’t in control | Unreported
Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan asks whether we've been asking the wrong question about simulation theory and whether AI itself is quietly taking control of the conversation, joined by Nick Bostrom, philosopher and author of the New York Times bestseller “Superintelligence,” who has spent decades studying how artificial intelligence could reshape humanity. They discuss whether AI could uplift bioterrorism and help design new pathogens, what happens to jobs and the global economy once AI and robotics take over human labor, if "digital…
