soon things like this will be everywhere in our lives, on subscription, and can turn into police or military at any time like an agent smith. sleep tight!
I mean, the planet’s dying, but ok. At least we’ve got robots that “excced human performance” in making their overlords profits. Imagine if these scientists were putting their efforts to real use.
I was already thinking this reminded me of The Talos Principle but your “the planet is dying” comment makes it even more close of a match. Those games are awesome.
I think they specifically chose that to display that it has no “forward” axis, robots don’t need to be 100% anthropomorphic and follow our biological limitations, this is a very significant evolution in design that will allow for better mobility
I’d go further to argue that it’s very necessary for robots to have even more mobility such as wheels to take advantage of momentum and increase efficiency. There’s a reason the wheel was invented, things like bicycles, wheelbarrows, etc.
The ANYmal wheeled legged robot is an example of that.
I wonder if someday in the future we might use reinforcement learning to iterate over different mechanical designs to explore even more exotic combinations of wheels, springs, hydraulic pistons, steel wires, legs and joints (optimizing for metrics like mobility etc). I even wonder if flexible joints made out of hard rubber could offer any advantages on bipedal motion
This is probably the best way to get up if your joints can fully rotate. If you look closely, the legs are exactly below the center of mass when they touch the ground, making it easy to push upwards without falling over.
Humans just have to make complicated contortions or jump up because our joints are inferior (there are no slip rings for blood vessels).
It looks like an improvement 😔. I mean fuck! I can’t even limbo that low much less get up from 0 to upright folding my legs around like that. But my face lamp is pretty bright! Just upgraded to LEDs and now I’m like a walking sun. I think they just copied me like that. And I got two ears not just one lowly antenna. So that’s not an upgrade.
Now they just need a silicone dildo, some silicone glue and a famous pornstar actress. That would sell a lot of droids this Christmas. Lots of Jewish, Jehovahs, Catholic, Christian, Protestant, Muslim men would be very interested…and women too. Specially if they come preprogrammed or programmable for special work like that.
I’m confused. Shouldn’t any robot exceed human performance? Even just in the ability to do repetitive tasks precisely without tiring. How is this news?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And it’s not just a person in a body suit.
After watching the creepy as fuck way it got up off the floor I think it’s safe to say there’s not a human in it.
I’m honestly not sure which one is more creepy.
Well, the “robot” you’re referring to couldn’t exceed human performance by definition.
When they take over? They look super fun!
Only got one question for ya here fellas, can it fuck?
Stretch has reach, Atlas had flexibility.
Not stock, but with the platinum fukyfuky package 👌

Or just running down the street looking for an electric outlet to plug into
Your mother makes robots in hell.
Were the others not fully electric!?!?! Like obviously they were but the title makes it sound like they built steampunk robots.

Lemmings reading you right now:
At least they aren’t only working on preventing hair loss and prolonging erections
Is there a difference?

Is it, though?

Cancer rope-a-doping us with robots and AI.
Nightmare fuel…. “I Robot” kind of scary
So glad they selected this super not creepy intro.

I can probably do that too if I dislocate my hip bones

Yes, very good point!
I wonder if someday in the future we might use reinforcement learning to iterate over different mechanical designs to explore even more exotic combinations of wheels, springs, hydraulic pistons, steel wires, legs and joints (optimizing for metrics like mobility etc). I even wonder if flexible joints made out of hard rubber could offer any advantages on bipedal motion
They might be able to ride bikes at some point.
I think the benefits to making them humanoid are underrated in this comment section.

I hope it can operate guns and sprint

cool, so they can do the grueling work for us so we can enjoy life… right?

They will be so efficient, they can do both for us.
No you’ll work but the robot will be your supervisor and can beat you
this is already the case if you do app work like uber and such
I am not seeing any robot kicking footage, not convinced.
