Man!!…just like real life..just when you start to get somewhere in life, “The Man” grabs you and pulls you back down!!
Check out Ted Talks …
Check out Ted Talks online, learn about how this is just the first few steps in LIVING FOREVER. Just type in Ray Kuzweil watch and be blown away.
First things first.
First things first.
Very interesting. …
Very interesting. Shame it doesn’t have a feature built in to right itself. Also, the feet seem very impractical? Small and pointed = more pressure per cm = easier to fall over.
When you train it …
When you train it long enough it learns how to walk on walls and water, too.
not in the same …
not in the same league as that robot Honda built, now thats a robot, walks downstairs/upstairs, runs like a human.
its like a baby …
its like a baby learning to walk. nice
Aww, wickle wunbot.
Aww, wickle wunbot.
Awesome!
Awesome!
Creepy, but in a …
Creepy, but in a good way! 🙂
Brilliant …
Brilliant observation! 🙂
anyone interested …
anyone interested in this: read the book “Being There” from Andy Clark. very interesting book about AI, cognitive processes, body-mind-world, etc.
amazing. can it …
amazing. can it climb vertically and how itwalks downhill?
Haven’t these …
Haven’t these people read Mary Shelley?! Or seen the movie I, Robot? We’re all doomed! lol Nah this is cool. Bring on the SexBots!
Cool, but not that …
Cool, but not that cool. It does,after all, have a bloody great rigid umbilical attached to it, and that, surely, is even better than a third leg !
its great. …
its great. wonderful work. but its creepy too 😐
I for one welcome …
I for one welcome our new adaptive bipedal overlords – as soon as they get a backbone that is.
umm if that wire …
umm if that wire attached to it can pick the robot up and move it back to point “A” I can only conclude that you have the ability to prevent it from falling backwards!
Jajajjajaaj…
Jajajjajaaj…
We will witness …
We will witness them being armed and send into wars like the one in Irak instead of having to send human beings and loosing lifes. We will also witness organized crime using robots to hold up banks and execute asinations. The future of robotics wont all be fun and games.
Really interesting …
Really interesting stuff – I’m interested to know if it was tested on a variety of gradients, including negatives (downhill).
Today, on the …
Today, on the ministry of Silly Walks… first thing that came to mind.
Nice Work. This is …
Nice Work. This is exactly what I was trying to demonstrate with my project at university. I feel that this is the only way robots will become truly successful in random environment in which we live. Robots will have to learn from mistakes just like we do. You can read my report on my website (rmcybernetics dot com) under projects, diy devices, robot (MIRC).
