7 New Species of Robot That Jump, Dance – and Walk on Water | Dennis Hong | TED

More than a decade ago, roboticist Dennis Hong debuted a new generation of cutting-edge robots on the TEDx stage. Now he's back to reveal how his lab at UCLA has eclipsed its own achievements with a fleet of wildly advanced and delightful humanoid robots. Part demo, part time capsule, part glimpse of the future, Hong brings you into the excitement and potential of the next evolution in robotics engineering.
