Everything was kung fu fighting!

The first ever teslabot demonstration was an actual human in a costume, pretending to be a robot...

time to learn Chinese.

I think most of this is choreographed. Autonomous killing machines are probably a few weeks away

only if you live in upper north america; western europe; or australia. lol

Yeah I treated all of the stated limitations of MIT robotics projects for the next 25 years as universal & wasn't aware of the progress in manufacturing + logistics until say 2019

Don't worry, you're much more likely to be instantly annihilated by a tiny suicide drone.

They probably won't splurge for the emp proof coating.

The robots staying stable and not falling over is still very impressive.

Sentdex made some videos about programming Unitree robots and it looked like absolute hell and makes this video all the more impressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1nhT8beTU

These are copying human movements i think

You're saying that like it's not impressive even if that were true. Human motion capture can't react fast enough to loss of balance with the speed of the moves they were doing (neither can a fully pre-programmed routine with no real time processing), especially for something smaller than the human operator for which you wouldn't have the intuition of how to right it, especially with conventional motion capture that doesn't give you feedback like moving your body does (unless they built a fully featured motion capture system that's both super low latency and gives the operator complete and accurate mechanical feedback on all degrees of freedom, in which case you'd think they'd feature that more than the robots themselves because that's way more impressive.) Even if they were all piloted by humans, they're still autonomously processing all those motion inputs to be compatible with its body.

But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.

Don't worry, we'll never have this problem in the West because humans over here like being police bastards too much to let some robots take their fun away.

But will they be properly taught to harass and murder people for not being white enough?

At 0:32 when the robots bend their knees they all do two little hops with one foot to keep balanced, but not all robots are doing the same hop. The middle robot does two large hops whereas the left rear robot does one small hop and then only lifts his "toes".

It could be a combination of pre-programmed movements with a balancing program on top

Did the humanoid shape gave it away? Or was it the Kung Fu?
