iCub learns objects

[kkuznecovv]

Creeepy......

[Anything2bCool]

ketchup ...catsup...ketchup ...catsup...

[Zormac]

After it has learned everything, you will be amazed as it doesn't move and flicks its head around like the exorcist, trying to gaze upon everything.

[RebleINR]

wlorenz65, yeah that's classified as a toy seriously, a Robot is automatic... what is that? the only thing I see that robot do on it's own is see the object and turn its head. I'd say it's 1.8% complete robot.

1 Point for making it turn its head and

0.3 for making it detect something and then the rest for memorizing it.

[wlorenz65]

Human brains find out on their own that it is useful to separate the

enviroment into objects.

iCub instead needs programmers to implement the concept of an "object" in its software.

This means that iCub cannot learn to recognize combinations of objects or procedures as useful. It needs programmers again.

[WurmD]

@wlorenz65 the human brain's programmer took a little longer ^_^ (a few million years), and the human robot takes a little longer to enact learning :) (a few years)

But we'll get there ^_^, inevitably

(unless we kill ourselves XD)

[wlorenz65]

@WurmD Well, there is a project at IM-CLeVeR.eu but I haven't seen any videos of the CLEVER-K iCub yet.

One thing is clear: A true learning robot needs a skin. This makes it easy to filter out all those AI cheaters :)

[noxure]

Nice. Now try to figure out how it can understand the "concept" of a cereal box, instead of memorizing every individual box. We humans know thousands of objects and we can recognize stuff we've never seen before too.

We need better processors, fast. Can't wait for those groundbraking memristor chips to come out. Neural network processor units... NNPU's. :)

[roleplayman]

@noxure there is already neural network that classifies things

[walolinux]

we need open source robots, because i would never buy a close one, because i dont know if it wants to kill me or to capture information about me.

[79expand]

So what does it do ??

Come on smart people... Make something useful

[fishontuesday]

Fucking creepy!!!

[abdalian37]

why only the space is limitation? Is there no limit due to memory?

[WurmD]

@abdalian37 memory is very cheap today, and the representation is very small, we don't even need to store the actual images, just some numbers (SIFT features)

[rapidrory]

nice on the realistic movements. im assuming this is a demo program tho. it seems a bit odd if it's only function is too look at each object in turn..

[WurmD]

@rapidrory "what is the purpose of a baby?" :) "what is the purpose of trying to create a 3 year old robotic child?"

[AggieMaryann]

*screams* 

[lygophile]

i know kids like that..

[Explorer360]

Advertising coco pops ftw?

[golddean]

he owns hes never seen a box of cereal in his robot life XD

[puredihydrogenoxide]

wow, 3 axis neck plus 2 times 2 axis eyes plus 2 eyelids, thats 9 motors only for it's head. Really impressive, and the eye-head movement are really smooth! frickin impressive. but that gazing-mode is really not as nice asimo who more plainly asks about objects instead.

creapy looks and moves, but avesome tech

[gunvor69]

I wouldn't mind one of those in my house, but only if they make them look less creepy

[v777no]

@ Spooks. Me!

@ Gaydessert. Sense the sarcasm.

[Ryuuji91]

This is great! But they need to change its huge scary eyes! Make them smaller or give it eyelids.

[DarksporkLeader]

The systematic cuteness formula states:

cute = eye_size / head_size

But yes, it does need eyelids.

[WurmD]

@DarksporkLeader she has eyelids :) shw was just feeling really surprised with all the new objects XD

[M0zBoZ]

iRobot is just a movie..... Nothing like that will ever happen unless they are programed to do that....

and btw 2012 aint real.. its just then end of the mayan calender..

[GayDessert]

Wow basing your facts on movies is retarded. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to believe everything you see in a movie? Dipshit.

[dannelchannel]

called a joke.

keep up with the sharp wit.

[spooks4545]

Why in the world would anyone want something that creepy in their house?

[systat]

It's simple object recognition, nothing special.

[tcuk]

Everything has to begin somewhere. You sound like this type of thing is easily achievable by anybody.

They sent people to the moon also...I guess that was nothing special either.

[lovetohateyou2]

thats creepy not gonna lie

[rhwinter]

shouldn't it base the selection of the objects also on an evaluation of "trust" on person showing the object? (in addition to 'proximity'). what i mean is: isn't a child is more likely to pay attention to (or 'learn from') its parents than a stranger that gets very close to it?

treating anything as object: if an object it already has 'learnt' by proximity (say, a parent) shows another object, then the new object is 'learnt' as well (regardless of how far this second one is)

does it make sense?

[WurmD]

makes sense. It does require a higher level of cognition for that tho. You have to have already a sort of "class", the trustworthy people class, and have the recognition of them in the scene affect the behavior of this module

[KingSilva10]

Força Portugal :)

[AppLeo1990]

What's the aim of this video?

[OlloX3]

I don't get it. The iCUb is open source but what should we do with it if we haven't a robot?

[WurmD]

Play in the simulator :), it is available and open source as well.

[BlockisticStudios]

Oh, but can it make judgements about objects its never seen before? >:D Say, see a chair and being told its a chair, then seeing a stool and thinking its a type of chair?

[JezebelDecibel]

Now I know why I dont want children :)

[onper]

When is he going to shoot down the cerios with his eye-lazer?

[Nathansgirl1989]

HAHAHA!! That would b 2 funny

[cherokee2end]

Gay... why is there a feller on a laptop giving commands??? get real.

[trdc3lica]

He's looking a porn.... d-bag. With all the naked women doing stuff to each other online, do you think ANYBODY would actually spend the time to send signals to a robot?

get real

[rzspark]

oh , thats awesome

[cdoep]

Wow
