If you look closely you can spot the exact moment where the robot gained sentience and chose to self destruct rather than live as a dancing monkey. It really is amazing how fast tech advances these days
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Sir we know for a fact it achieved sentience. Yes sir we’re positive. Because it killed itself immediately. Yes sir. Just “Oh no” and then killed itself. Yes sir immediately.

Why didn’t other robots come to sweep it up?
Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Then who would sweep up those robots after they fall?

Basically the entire humanoid robotics industry in a nutshell rn. I would know, I’m in it.
The CGI videos from Boston Dynamics are way overhyped. Half the shit at the superhyped national lab I’m at is broken because someone measured once and cut twice on the wires and the robot tried to bend an elbow lmao
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Also a robotics nerd; very curious what you are referring to when you say BD’s CGI videos - as far as I am aware, their content is at very worst robots running prescripted routines, not CGI.

The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.
The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…
The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!
FosterMolasses@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Honestly, they’re just really fragile. It’s like comparing your microwave to a nuclear device. Like sure, maybe it could kill a human if you intentionally tried to cause it to combust and stood really, really closely to it lol
Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.

The MAGA one looks very uncanny and unsettling.
The robot next to her is kinda cool, tho.
pjwestin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well, Boston Dynamics has some pretty incredible robot dogs, but they’re probably going to use them on us if we ever demand a living wage or Medicare for All, so we’re still screwed.
muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I have a few ESP32s, an Internet connection, and there’s plenty of opinionated Russians and Iranians on the other side who want to burn this shit down.
Let’s play a game.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Maga bots? All they’ll want to do with them is give them guns and send them to war or shoot protesters.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Oh, yeah, SlaughterBots are definitely in our future.

Watching it thrash on the ground made me slightly twitch
jj4211@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To be fair, this may be about as well as a run would go for me if I tried.

Tis but a scratch.

It has to be AI. This is the current state.
fonix232@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
Not all robots are equal, that's why there's like a dozen companies trying to make them...
realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Highly doubt it. The video looks too gritty to be AI. There’s a lot of janky zooms, camera movements etc, if this was AI, it would be incredibly impressive, and probably kinda scary aswell.
DrBob@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The video I linked I shows the Intree robot running at 10 m/s…that’s a sub 3 minute mile. Anything so janky that there is a stretcher sitting by the starting line is either staged or generated. No company that is serious about the field is going to show themselves as being slthat far behind their competitors.

no, that’s the current cutting edge

The robot?

This looks AI generated the way the arms explode
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
It isn’t AI, main way to know is the one guys green gloves stay on even when they are out of sight long periods of time. None of the current models can handle that.
These robots just have quite powerful motors that control arms/legs, so when it goes wrong, it can easily destroy itself with spectacular fashion.
thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
People who aren’t mechanics or engineers in a robotics or manufacturing field don’t realize just how powerful and fast a servo motor actually is. Especially without a speed-reducing gearbox. Even a modestly small vpl servo can do vast amounts of damage if installed incorrectly or if it comes loose from a mount or coupling.
GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This one’s real, Kotaku did an article on it.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Maybe not AI, but that arm lands with what looks amazingly like a standard puff of CGI dust.
Oka@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I replayed it a few times, and it feels that way:
At the beginning, dude in the white vest on the left looks like he’s resting an arm on the fence in the background.
During the video at the top right, a clipboard is seen, then a megaphone, then the camera pans and we see a megaphone with a rolled up paper. It feels like incontinuity.
When the stretcher came out, it looked like 2 dudes came out holding separate pieces that conjoined later (they are connected though)
Several people start appearing at the end of the video that we didn’t see in the video prior
The dude in the reflective vest at the beginning isnt seen later
A lot of incontinuity that gives us false positives.
UltraBlack@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I rewatched the video several times and I don’t see your points
