The Wired Masterminds YouTube series kicks off with a video interview with Jonna Mendez, the former chief of disguises with the CIA. The video gives an interesting insight into some of the older techniques used by the CIA to disguise its operatives.
The Mediated Matter Group at MIT have created Fiberbots, robots that use a mix of fiber and resin to build towers underneath themselves. The bots use sensors and algorithms to colaborate with eachother while adjusting the length and curvature of the towers they build. (H/T to Mikael for sharing this).
Last week we had jumping robots, this week we have dancing robots! Boston Dynamics released another robot video, this time of its SpotMini quadruped robot dancing to Bruno Mars.
Hen Ogledd have released their latest track Sky Burial and accompanying music video. Check out their upcoming tour dates for information on when you can see them live!
The Harvard Undergraduate Drummers (THUD) have produced this very good rendition of Journey's Don't Stop Believing. Yes, I know the song has been done to death, but this is an enjoyable cover :-)
Hen Ogledd, a new supergroup formed by Dawn Bothwell, Rhodri Davies, Richard Dawson and Sally Pilkington have released their debut single Problem Child along with this amazing video. My words won't do the video justice, I suggest you watch it instead! :-)
