When I was young… A 3,000kg humanoid robot trailed by 700m of cabling could take 3 steps before lighting itself on fire. And we were freaking out.
Breakdancing
America doesn’t stand a chance against China… In terms of break dancing robits
Takeaway: if you’re chased by a killer robot pull out a banana peel
Ngl the first save was impressive.
Can’t wait to laugh at a tripping killbot before it rights itself and wastes me with a patent pending 12 hour painful death injectable
It’s pretty impressive anyway. I wonder what another year of development will do?
I also prefer dancing robot to RoboCop and the firemen’s robot dogs.
they do have more successful dance shows too.
It’s funny now, just wait till it’s Fortnite dancing while chasing you with a machine gun and a flaming sword.
Great, so not only do we have to fight robots for access to water, they can now emote over our broken bodies
How long until Elon teaches his to teabag?
He needs to actually build a robot first, instead of a puppet controlled by an intern.
That was one of the first things it learned.
One of my favorite parts of vr fps like contractors is physically teabagging people. They are already being trained.
How amazing is that recovery after the first stumble?
Somewhere between more amazing than falling over and less amazing than being able to climb stairs.
Funny, but somehow that’s the most fair take that I think I’ve heard on this video and these robots.
I imagine it wasn’t trained for these lighting conditions and a monotone grey floor. But funny nonetheless.
I think it’s because it’s a pre programmed routine and the only autonomous thing it does is self balance it’s not even looking at the environment. These Unitree robots are nothing more than advanced RC toys. If you look at other videos with these robots you often see someone with a remote controller in their hands behind their back. If you buy one and want it to move autonomously and take into account the environment with computer vision you have to program that into the robot yourself.
Nailed the ending.
“BIG FINISH!!”
They made a Frank Spencer robot.
To be fair, I don’t remember MJ being anywhere near stairs, at least not with crazy dance steps.
I’m imagining most robots like this will be goose-stepping instead of dancing, so the inability to dance is probably not a big deal.
I think the dancing would probably be pretty bad for insurgency morale actually.
Apparently we stop the impending robot army by just putting up some steps at the border.
If it was me falling over the steps in a dance performance, I’d stay down after the second time too.
Sometimes you just have to let gravity win
Gravity indeed.
Comedian Fred Berry, the guy who played Rerun from “What’s Happening”, came with headliner Pauly Shore at a stand-up show in my hometown back in like 2000. Famous for his high voice, high energy, and red beret - he accidentally walked right off the frontend of the stage mid-set. He was portly, so it wasn’t graceful. He continues the rest of his set in the pit until he introduces Pauly on stage – to which Pauly books it top speed and jumps in after him.
MC: Would you 2 fools get outta there!
Pauly: No. We like down here!
Rerun: We’ve accepted our fate. It’s closer to hell down here.
Pauly: Trust me, I’d be easier if you just bring everyone into the pit.
I know i dont know shit about robotics but really the absolute first thing they need to do is have a robot that can stand up after falling down. It’s how humans learn to walk and it’s really a prequisite to walking in general. You just shouldn’t walk if you can’t get up, that’s why babies crawl until they learn to stand up from the floor.
Almost assuredly it can, I think it broke or went into a failsafe or something.
Sure but it didn’t so assuredly it can’t. Once the video of it getting up after falling up stairs then it will be assuredly it can! So we wait for the evidence, and then we can be assuredly satisfied with your assertion:)
