Nextage Industrial Humanoid Works Alongside People #DigInfo

[blackbudgetuk]

It looks like Johnny Number 5 fro Short Circuits LOL

[tekfunk]

This has already been stated, but I cannot stress this enough. Please take the time out to research two important topics: The Venus Project, and its associated community arm, the Zeitgeist Movement. The second topic of relevance is a phenomenon called the Singularity.

Otherwise I hope I'm just preaching to the choir. It's coming, fast.

[KhanneaSuntzu]

Great! Now tax a percentage of gains of productivity and pay it to *all* people as a basic income. Globally. Countries don't do this? Implement an import tax for "countries that do not pay a basic income". 

[pHappyfeet]

this bot would cost allot less if they set them up to just build themselves.

[pHappyfeet]

YAY, we all get to be fat and lazy like the people in wall-e

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@pHappyfeet Or insanely sexy people having sex all day, like in Second Life. Err the movie "gamer".

[Kartraith]

Technological unemployment is a fact, so how are you going to survive in a monetary system?

[3tangle3]

@Kartraith become science researchers while the robots mass produce the shit we want

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@3tangle3 Go to McDonalds. Those are the people laid of. Now you are in charge retraining them as genetic engineers, game designers and geophysicists.

[3tangle3]

@KhanneaSuntzu maybe...its a hard task...but thats life......we need to change peoples mindsets to do more science research etc and be more curious.....nothing wrng with working at mcdonalds tho fair play

[Stephenamesbruner]

The business community will want them because they don't form unions, no health care coverage and no pension.

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@Stephenamesbruner - Concentration camps for the 99% !

[MyMindTank]

A Resource-Based Economy is in the making. For those who don't know what that is, research "The Venus Project". It's Revolutionary.

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@MyMindTank Or Zeitgeist movement.

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@MyMindTank Or technocracy.

[Repter75]

they sure are chatty

[Masshuu4400]

We soon gonna have robots running around us...

[Esoparagon]

This is great! When these become cheaper and even more accurate productivity will sky rocket! I can't wait. All the neo-luddite nonsense in this comment section makes me laugh.

[LeeStone101]

@Esoparagon Its nice to see that there are still people that believe in science, technology, and progress. I completely agree with you.

[lurchy]

not that im going to have a job to be able to pay for anything they make cos they took my job

[lurchy]

sweet my iphone 12 hopefully will be dirt cheap !!!

[Borderlands808]

Unemployment rate.......now 100%. Lol

[mrfuzzles92]

Damn.. I read INDUSTRIAL and thought of the big dozer from irobot. I don't think things could beat a child in an arm wrestle.

[bloodylaugh]

didnt the NES have one of these.....

[streatlightbmx]

Someone explain to me why they only have two arms if they're built for effeciency? I want my workers to have 4 arms dammit!

[JWuEntertainment]

Robot Takeover is imminent

[jatigre1]

The have to start using some app based on motion capture data like the Animation Industry does. It's much easier to program and that would create an enormous library of commands with very little data.

[osbely]

I can't wait to be obsolete.

[gm0n3y17]

WALL-E!!!

[slimmworker]

The need for human workers is getting less all the time, robots will simply stop working if they want to end the human "race".

[Raelsatu]

@slimmworker End the human race? No. Cripple it, perhaps. Food, water, warmth; the basic necessities is enough to live. But if the machines stopped working we'd override their [quasi]sentience with whatever fail-safe is in place.

[shaurz]

Cute and competent. I want one!

[the26thhour]

Please refrain from any Terminator comments

They are the ultimate robotics cliché

[Raelsatu]

@the26thhour Maybe they're meant to be cliche..... maybe they're supposed to be a glaring forewarning. Ironically, because of how popular the theory is --- in both book and cinema ---it passes the thin line into reverse psychology. Group think logic contest that anything "sci-fi" cannot possibly come to pass in our human future; but modern history, time and the conscious relation between, show otherwise. With that said, I'm ecstatic about the advances in computing & robotics. Bring it.

[the26thhour]

@Raelsatu

whatever dude

[Vank4o]

Hello my Skynet friends I'm on your side

[gotmilck]

now eny thing can be made anywhere, the quality will be as made in china:))

[GmodMark]

Pause at 0:08, there is a guy in the background going :O

[labobo]

whats the big deal?

these robots aren't any better than what the robots in car factories used already.

gee! come back when they can walk, talk and think

[gerhard1407aple]

someday they will realize that humans are useless, and they will exterminate us. that's why i'm studding engineering, to help them in there task. 

[PoxHaunted]

0:46 Eliminate Elimiante Eliminate

[lnsulin]

SKYNET!

[MurdocLC]

Love it!

[albertoxFTW]

until they revolt and kill us all

[Ou8y2k2]

7-8 million yen = 90-103 thousand dollars without software.

[waypasthadenough]

Why do they need 'eyes?'

[myshoescramp]

@waypasthadenough To see their surroundings and the people in it so they won't hurt or even bump into them.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@waypasthadenough They put the cameras right there..why would you act such a silly question, they do it to make them appear human which makes people more comfortable around them.

[HatchetHaro]

Next generation: robot sex partners.

[TheJysN]

Awesome.

[ThElitE]

Earth overpopulation and we're making robots?  Hmm...

[JogBird]

this will have a hard time competing with Chinese labour at $0.50 / day

[LuisReefTank]

@JogBird It just came out for god's sake, its normal that is expensive.

This is a small window to the future.

[Darknight24x]

@JogBird They may be expensive but over time, they will surpass Chinese Labor because Robots don't sleep, don't eat, don't take breaks or most importantly, don't ask questions. Robots work 24/7, they will eventually work for free when they have paid them self's off. Try doing that with anyone.

[pechschwingenhort]

@Darknight24x so perfect,.. more unemployed people in the future,.. ^^

[Kartraith]

@JogBird But this doesn't need breaks, salary, sleep, vacation, or even oxygen.

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@Kartraith Yep. Now those in charge will have to get rid of those who do. Hmmm how about a virus.

[Valca000]

one day im gonna have wife deliver her baby by these guys

[LucienZakhaev]

I don't see why the concept of work would even exist in a society with hyper efficient automated systems

[Ou8y2k2]

@LucienZakhaev Dude, have you seen Terminator 2? haha

[AndGz7]

can u build wall-e ?

[djsuperstar717]

They seem sooooo slow

[Ou8y2k2]

@djsuperstar717 slow now, take kobe bryant's job tomorrow.

[CyberNeticRodent]

One of these in my kitchen, programmed to be a sandwich specialist.

[Elricchasers]

as much as i would be happy about such great advancement of robotics involving industrial work such as this i do not think it is quite wise to have robots working in place of human beings as there is a possiblity where one company will not necessarily have the need for workers any longer and just simply rely on the free cheap workers robots. Basically this is what hershey thefounder of hershe's chocolates actually forsaw when he first saw a machine that was capable of doing work of 50 men

[funky3ddy]

@Elricchasers Now these robots are too expensive (taking a lot of factors in consideration), but in near future, when these things will become mainstream...

[JonO387]

@Elricchasers As you said yourself, this has been going on for years. In an increasingly technical society, people will have different jobs as these machines take over these mundane tasks. People will just need to be better educated. Manual labor is going away, the mind is much more important than the body at this point in human history.

[bottomOFair]

so long poor immigrants!

[mvenom101]

For anyone who doesn't know currency, 7-8 million yen is around about

$100,000 dollars (australian) and with the shitty exchange rate for the american $ its even more.!

[kukelz]

its the solution to be able to compete. You can have a workforce that wants to work for cheap. Which we dont have in Europe and the US.

[andrenegwer]

Shiny robot

[not2beforgotten]

next time will be "when they detected a enemy they'll shoot immediately."

and not "when they detected a worker approaching they'll stop immediately"

[not2beforgotten]

i wan a Robot Maid!!!

[eujeeves]

Robots that don't know how to Occupy Wall St. just what greedy capitalist scum bags will be ordering.

[EnEsCe]

@eujeeves Robot's also wont make poor life decisions resulting in the need to blame those that made good decisions.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@EnEsCe Owned![you owned him]

[Alectr0n]

I, for one, welcome our new robot friends.

[MRSketch09]

@Alectr0n Same here, all the need to be happy is electricity. And I can provide that. (via the local utility) lol

[AugiTheGreat1]

@Alectr0n until you see them in america eating up work i could easily see one of these running the cashier at you local macy's or perhaps the gas station around the corner maybe even as a bank teller

[Alectr0n]

@AugiTheGreat1 No doubt there will be large changes in the economy, much like when the steam engine was invented. Some people will be worse off but from greater efficiency more wealth will be generated. Ideally those assembly line workers could move up the ladder into more valuable jobs. If some are not mentally capable of moving up, they might need to be supported by welfare but when your economy is strong from robot labor, that shouldn't be too difficult.

Robots would also end outsourcing.

[wulf8121]

@Alectr0n don't you mean out new robot overlords? lol

[AzraelofLegion]

@Alectr0n Like wise, the less jobs the better. No really, It's tech like this that will end up allowing humans to do the things they want to do instead of having to work for their continued survival. Only thing that sucks is the fact that this same tech means the doom of modern economics which also means global protests and mass riots until finally the monetary system dies off due to lack of jobs and the mass abundances this tech will provide. The future is going to be interesting O.o

[KhanneaSuntzu]

@AzraelofLegion - Those with power and money will put up a fight. One aimed at paying nothing to no one and making maximum profits from everyone.

[Alectr0n]

@AzraelofLegion Energy and manufacturing are the foundation of everything, even biological life, and revolutions are coming to both paradigms. Things will change and many will struggle to adapt but in the end everyone will be enormously better off, just like the agricultural and industrial revolutions.

Try your hardest not to die for at least thirty years.

[shao19930711]

i don't know but I feel for the first time kind of scared looking at technology. not exactly scared, but anyone get that feeling when you see the perfectly coordinated moves of the robot? 

[digivince]

"Johnny five...is alive!"

[Deathbynature89]

I'm glad they don't have legs yet. So I can out run them when they go into kill mode.

[nisbahmumtaz909]

First you take my job...

Now you take my partner too!!??

Just kidding, this looks cool.
