The Nightmare in Silicon Valley: 8 horror technologies that should scare you to death
Every night is fright night with what can happen once these scary technologies take hold in ways that you may not have imagined.
A new Science Museum exhibition has brought together the biggest collection of humanoid robots ever assembled.
First built in 2015, Baxter was the world's first two-armed robot designed to work alongside people. There are two different versions of Baxter: one designed for manufacturing tasks in factories and a second for use in assisting laboratory research.
In both cases, people can train Baxter by guiding its arms and grippers into the required positions and teaching it the required actions. Baxter is capable of directing its gaze towards the action it is attempting to perform, and even has pre-programmed facial expressions to show its state of operation. Over 3,000 units have been sold so far.
