Here’s a neat video from GE Focus Forward about how scientists are making robots seem a bit more human without actually having to make them look more human. Amazingly, having a robot cheat at a simple game is enough to make a person see that robot as more human-like.
Boston Dynamics’ Petman, the human version of their Big Dog robot, is seen here walking, squatting, and donning some camouflage outfit. Cool. I want a robot friend.
I don’t understand this life. How are these people always doing stuff like this?

Washington State University uploaded this video made by Dan Petrovic that takes a look at how humans have evolved over time from primates. The slow morph effect is a bit haunting.
