…replacing the previously hydraulic version.
Insert obligatory welcome statement here.
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!
Or just running down the street looking for an electric outlet to plug into
How do I subscribe when the robot took my job?
if you look at how many people will need to try to find new jobs after AGI and mass human robotics, its devastating. i’ve seen estimates in the tens or hundreds of millions.
just self driving cars alone could cause a global depression.
Taxis / Uber, food delivery, truckers, towing, garbage collection, construction hauling, couriers, bus drivers, etc, etc. I agree this will be devastating at first. But it really doesn’t have to be in the long run. As a society we need to stop equating someone’s value to their labor.
Did you know there is an industry-standard mounting system for strap-on dildos? Just saying.
You really trust this thing’s fearsome actuators with your delicate starfish? Bold indeed.
Is it using XLR?
You were thinking exactly what I was thinking!
cool, so they can do the grueling work for us so we can enjoy life right?
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

They will be so efficient, they can do both for us.
You don’t need humanoid robots for that, just an economic system that is not based on trading labor for income. That is what has been holding us back for a long time.
labor is necessary for many things regardless of the economic system.
i guess the problem with having these in the current labor for income system is that whenever they can replace us, we dont get income anymore, instead of enjoying workless utopia built by robots.
labor is necessary for many things regardless of the economic system.
I wasn’t talking about getting rid of all labor, but we can with the vast majority of it.
Smooooooth
A robot could never excede my performance in being depressed and autistic so Im safe.
Just wait until we have robots with 10 times a normal human IQ, that have to work as greeters at the local supermarket.
We’ve got LLMs now that can do that. Sorry, you’ve been replaced. Please gather your things into this box and cheer up.
…in bed
I am not seeing any robot kicking footage, not convinced.
These “” posts / articles are click bait and nonsense discussions bait
So glad they selected this super not creepy intro.
That broke my brain for a second
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 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.
https://newatlas.com/robotics/anymal-swiss-mile-quadruped-wheeled-standing-robot/
I’d argue that the wheel was invented not because “walking” was inefficient, but because flesh is weak and gets tired.
A robot doesn’t have that weakness. It thinks nothing of running five hours at high speed if necessary. It has no need of wheels if it can just Gump it cross country with cargo on his back a la Death Stranding.
but because flesh is weak and gets tired.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me
I craved the strength and certianty of steel I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine
A robot doesn’t have that weakness.
Robots have battery capacity limitations, they get “tired” in a different way. Your claim is true if you invent a battery that never runs out of power.
But does walking necessarily use more energy than rolling?
Good point well made. I hadn’t considered that.
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
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).

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

Need to find out how to fight it, and kill it.
Only got one question for ya here fellas, can it fuck?
I just spent way too long looking for that Movie 43 clip of “don’t fuck it” but it seems wiped from the internet.

Not stock, but with the platinum fukyfuky package 👌
The orifice is working on that module
Stretch has reach, Atlas had flexibility.
I never knew I needed Boston Dynamics to build a skinwalker, but they knew
“What should we include when we build our humanoid robot?”
“It should stand up in the most unnerving way possible.”
Jesus Christ, it’s like they made a new RoboCop out of the girl from The Ring
Admit it…if your legs could do that, you’d stand up like that every single time. Just because you could. Just like every time General Grievous climbs into a shuttle and does that flip.
Which is exactly why Jonathan Frakes sits down like that!
I use drill motors for a fucking reason. Without AGI it’s a fancy NC machine.
I hope it can operate guns and sprint
Oh you know that’s where the engineering effort is going
No it doesn’t.
Well for a short time maybe
Zero time.
Maybe just a little bit?
As a treat.
Idk my limbs don’t rotate 360° degrees, At least not multiple times. Unless yours do he has us beat on something.
That’s not exceeding human performance. That’s stepping around it.
And it’s not just a person in a body suit.
Well, the “robot” you’re referring to couldn’t exceed human performance by definition.
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.
