They didn't look all that advanced...
what are you talking about? that robot exploded better than any human could
lol a stretcher?
I mean, it probably is the easiest way for them to carry it. But the sense of urgency with which they were running towards it was hilarious.
I should not have laughed so hard at that. I’m a horrible person.
Why, because you laughed at an organized pile of plastics and metal got broken?
I'm sorry but that's a pretty useless achievement. Its like saying that an ebike is way faster in tour de France. What am I supposed to use it for. Pizza delivery? Maybe someone can enlightenment me.
Rapid advancement in walking and balancing, but not always advancement in useful things.
There's a golf cart following the bot with a guy using a remote control to drive the bot. So these robots are just like remote control cars. One even ran into the side railing.
These kinds of demonstrations are fun, but that doesn't mean they can function autonomously in construction sites, factories or households.
Are they more efficient? It's like saying a jet is faster than a tortoise otherwise.
This is impressive technology which has the potential to benefit humans by having things like robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.
But who am I kidding? Tech companies will just it to cut jobs in order to enrich themselves and make everyone else poorer.
robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.
I feels like robot will fries their chip and melt the wiring when they enter a building. It's like when people imagine they can use robot to go into heavily irradiated area to survey and do repair, but turn out the radiation will just fry the chip. There's still a lot more it can do though.
It can be insulated to some extent, but yeah.
We have chips that are radiation resistant, they're just not general purpose. They're used for things like voyager missions.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
