Robots in our near future?

 

[MotF Bane]

That was awesome.

 

[Juddog]

Wow... amazing that robotics has come this far. I really like the layered concept approach to touch sensitivity.

 

[insect9]

Holy shit that was sweet.

 

[Jack Ryan]

Very cool!

Beyond awesome, I think we need a new word for it.

If we had a method to power them, we could build them now.

Seen the HAL?

Or the Asimo?

With a runaway military budget we could build one in no time. We just need the battery technology.

What about that Darpa Bigdog robot? Haven't seen any recent info on that. That thing was crazy.

This is what I am referring to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oMTKuzc__M

That was amazing. Especially where it tosses the cell phone into the air, and catches it perfectly as it rotates.

that was its russell crowe impression

I wonder if they could get a high speed camera and make the thing catch a bullet. I might need a change of pants if it could do that...

 

[darkxshade]

Sources confirm that the order for the first pair will be shipped to an anonymous MLB player as they are currently not on the list of banned substances.

No skynet plz.

For some reason, the rice grain part reminded me of WALL-E .

 

[Safeway]

I don't want that robot to kill me. At least all of that was programmed sequence, and not AI.

Well, it wasn't exactly scripted. Sure, they told it the basic action to make, but once the phone was in the air, it was AI that was making the catch (which is the impressive part).

It wouldn't be too difficult to put together a scenario in which it initiated those actions based on AI.

 

[Miramonti]

Fascinating.

Loved the ball dribbling and cell phone toss/catch!

Now if this technology could trace and respond to bullet trajectories...
