You can now use your old Android phone as the brain of a bipedal humanoid robot.
UCLA researchers built PhoneBot a 48 cm robot with 13 motorized joints. The phone handles vision and walking control.
It can walk track people and stand back up.
Hardware costs around $400, excluding the phone.

Someone actually built a real-life Doctor Octopus setup!
Mingxuan independently developed these four flexible robotic arms, mounted on a wearable frame.
Watching the arms bend and curl around the person next to the Spider-Man movie scene is pretty cool.
Reality vs. fiction.
