We all dream of (and fear) a future ran by machines that can manage our dirty chores, construct buildings, and fight our wars. Truth is we're probably a few centuries away from living the futuristic realm of Deep Space Nine, or better yet, The Jetsons. But recent breakthroughs in the robotics field over the past couple decades have shown us that we’re not that far off from sparing with lifelike Rock’em Sock'em robots like Hugh Jackman in his new film: Real Steel. Call it wishful thinking, but after seeing what some of today's most visionary scientists, NASA engineers, and even a DJ have constructed, we're starting to rethink our vision of the future. So pull your circuitry together and take a good look at the 10 Coolest Real-Life Robots.
