Robots, Droids, and Cyborgs Take Over Today’s Fast Forward To Five

Today we want to highlight how far we've come in robotics. We've been warned by hundreds of movies not to keep advancing the technology, but it's just too cool to resist. The idea of robotics is super interesting to us. Watch these videos for a while and fast forward your day a little.

First, we'll give you a glimpse of the tiny droid that kids (of all ages) will be screaming about for years. The world is still in love with R2-D2, so we expect BB-8 will stick around for a long time too.

Sometimes machines blend well with people. The term cyborg is reserved for people who have robotic enhancements to their physical attributes. Here are some real life cyborgs.

Japan accepted America's challenge. I personally can't wait for this fight to go down.
