Delivery robots run red lights, crash into a bike, and get applauded for standing up

A Los Angeles compilation caught sidewalk delivery bots running a red light in front of a fire truck, crashing into a bicycle, tipping over, and getting clapped for like a toddler learning to walk. One was seen 'screaming' at a car in a crosswalk. The future of food delivery is adorable and chaotic.

SkyFall's StarGate Drone Evacuated Two Wounded Soldiers From the Front Line

Robots · October 2026 Kudos level: Legend

Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it used the purpose-built StarGate drone to evacuate two seriously wounded soldiers in the space of a week, flying one casualty nearly 20 miles to reach him and about the same distance back. Ground vehicles could not reach the men because of water obstacles and attack-drone threats, and the covered, medical-grade stretcher module kept each casualty protected in flight. The regiment now plans a dedicated aerial medical evacuation unit, turning one-off rescues into a repeatable capability.
