That's still pretty impressive, especially the first recovery.
That was my thought. Like actually very close to making it through the recovery
And then went full Ashley Simpson.
(I'm pretty sure I've seen you write a rather fascinating tirade about how Ashley was the victim in all this, and I'm frankly trying to trigger you so that I can read it again.)
So many people are talking and so focused on AI that everyone's been missing the robotics.
My husband has been showing me videos every week of robots from Japan, China, etc. Robotics has advanced insanely fast last few years.
Can’t annihilate the human race without Cylons.
Yeah that's insanely impressive.
Sure it doesn't exactly know where its feet are, but... like how many people do you know that could do 5 or 10 seconds of that?
Also the leg flailing was extremely rapid and thus comical.
8/10.
Yeah, much more impressive than these choreographed performances.
Which makes the poor thing dying at the end very unsettling.
You need to understand... regaining stability on a PERFECTLY FLAT AND PREDICTABLE surface is not new nor novel for robotics.
Oh gosh, you're absolutely right. That was in no way impressive at all, and I should never have brought it up. Can you ever forgive me?
Your sarcasm only proves how absolutely pathetic you and everyone else's understanding of robotics is.
Sounds like something a robot would say 🤔
Considering I'm shitting on the robots, that only further proves my point that ya'll are brainless morons merely voting down that which you do not understand. Sad.
Holy fuck guys we found him. It's the guy that's been going around shitting on people's robots
My dude, your username is literally "LurkingLuddite" and you're doing exactly what a luddite that is lurking would do. You might as well be a bot* at that point lol
Your inability to grasp reality is both pathetic and hilarious
Say again?
Given the complexity of the performance, and a clear miscalculation, which it was initially able to recover from, would say you're not giving it enough credit.
No. It only recovered when it stumbled back into a flat area. That OBVIOUSLY demonstrates that it's too stupid to deal with dynamic terrain.
Ok, you disrespect it now, but if you put a couple of M-249 saws on its arms, would you respect it then?
No
So that's a "no" on forgiveness?
On two legs? After stumbling? That was impressive few years back on four legs (the robodogs).
To be fair, Spot (which I assume is the kind of robodog you were talking about) is already a decade old
