They still have the hockey stick around as a reminder to Atlas.
They missed demoing it working with hockey stick guy harassing it.
I think the skills are pretty cool though.
Now that’s a harassment i’d like seeing.
That guy didn’t even work there, he just wandered in.
He was a time traveler trying to stop this
Cool tech, but what’s the intended use case for the end product? Or is there no use case until it’s as good as a human?
Stuff like this is probably mostly tech demo, but there are instances where it could make jobs safer (hot work in locations with corrosive or explosive gases nearby, such as at a chemical plant, underwater welding site, responding to gas leaks, etc.
Watch the USCSB channel on YouTube for good examples of dangerous jobs, such as putting out uncontrolled chemical fires, or performing hot work during the most dangerous times at chemical plants, when stuff is shut down for maintenance and might still be leaking catalysts. Robots could save lives.
Yeah, in the far future I can see some uses when it’s really matured, but I still think more specialised robots will be designed instead.
Hazardous environments, dark factories, engine rooms in ships when the temperature is 60 degrees C and 180 decibels.
Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.
Yeah, but like, you can have robots on rails. Factories are often designed with automation in mind, rather than slapping it on afterwards.
Organizing engine covers obv.
They’re trying to improve them to a point where they can do stuff good. At this point I doubt its much good for anything other than demos and the most basic of tasks
Yeah, but I just don’t see a use case for a humanoid robot, a standard robot arm could do the job in the video. Robots are better when designed for specific jobs.
Current robots are better when designed for a specific job, but that means only corps with enough scale can afford robots
What about much smaller companies that can’t afford to design and build a robot for a specific task? There are thousands of these companies, doing things at smaller scale so not able to automate. However a robot with similar capabilities to a human, that could be trained like a human, and doesn’t cost like an industrial robot, can fill in for a human at all of these companies
I mean in the far distant future… yeah I agree.
But back to preset times, when robots like these are cheap enough for a small company to buy over hiring someone, then it will be cheap enough to buy custom robots too.
Cool. And just like the dog robots, I’m sure this isn’t going to be militarized either…
This is why I say please and thank you when I use ChatGPT…
You should add “love you” after this.
I do it because I know the NSA is listening. Hopefully a little politeness will keep me off the watch list.
It won’t, Sam.
Same! I probably will be replaced just as all the other “meat sacks”, but I hope to at least be given a degree of dignity upon my inevitable demise.
Wow…that thing is straight is nightmare fuel as it turns to walk back to get another whatever it’s moving.
You will love this. https://youtu.be/29ECwExc-_M
So much uncanny valley creepy vibes when it does that. Like you’re anthropomorphizing and suddenly it snaps you out of it haha.
Take my job!!!
