Terrifying
They really did go for the “horror movie about to go very wrong” aesthetic when they made those videos, didn’t they.
Yeah, what’s up with the music?
they could have gone so many different directions. nutcracker. river dance. yackety sax…
Seriously?
“Hey, this thing looks kinda creepy, what’s with the creepy music?”
This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.
Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not!
Now we can have people twitching while hanging from the ceiling without having to hunt them in back alleys! Progress!
Think of the savings in cleaning supplies!
I see they are prepping for the live action QWOP movie.
A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot’s “heart,” pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.
As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle. 😕
EDIT: And I’m not against the technology. I’m all for prosthetics and humanoid robots for menial work.
Just imagine the possibilities if full human-pike prosthetics are developed. Think of people who have lost their arms or legs, suddenly being able to walk again.
(And of course, applied robotics for sex bots 😉)
human-pike prosthetics
Now you’re talking!
What good is a housekeeping robot if it can’t break a cavalry charge?
Bravo scientists for realizing how creepy this is and saying, let’s lean into it.
“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus”
not creepy at all… hey what’s that flash disk lying on the table
Can’t wait to find out it was just a guy in a suit.
lol fml
Now have it stand on the ground without supports.
Leave it to humans to build a robot for the purpose of lynching it.
We don’t deserve Earth.
Great, soon I won’t even know if someone is human in real life as well. Youre all bots.
Nonsense, fellow human! I am sure you—l mean we—have nothing to fear!
