[nihonam]

reminds me of Bruce Sterling's 'Taklamakan'

[OGoregen]

That is really amazing!

[suteerth12]

My name is Bond Robo Bond

[humanhades]

well, you should create more faster and smaller robots, to serve ME, and find my keys.

[noixioninox]

Dragonball! :D

[invrunner]

I could do all that in a matter of seconds and look cool while doing it... YOU FAIL SWARMANOID!

[Picouzi91]

Dragon Ball !§§

[jvcharles]

je suis impressionné

I am impressed

[Esodmgs3]

Chapeau bas !

Bravo !

[JeReMiZ]

Imagine the day it brings you a beer from the fridge.

[TatsuyaSN]

@JeReMiZ We won't need women anymore!!!

[x1NeMeSiS1x]

my god, they've taken another step towards skynet!

[baileybrighton]

A swarmanoid christmas tree of death plz?

[enbdavies]

this is some kewl via @ThirdVariable

[Boomrick]

Add in a docking station for charging their batteries, and I would let these guys clean up my house when I'm on vacation..

[MassFlame]

DragonBall ftw :>

[smgrulit]

Teacher: where is your homework?

Me: it stolen by Swarmanoid!

[efstratos96]

ibot have a magnet in the top ?

[Soban33]

Most people obviously have no idea how mutch time and effort it takes to program and build robots like these. I would love to see them make something better themselves

[kah13176]

@Soban33 Truth. I don't know if you're familiar with the VEX robotics competitions, but my bot from last year took several hundred lines of code to do simple tasks that pale in comparison to what Swarminoid does. And don't even get me started on the debugging and fine-tuning process.

[AperturezerO]

@kah13176 You can bet that for every successful take that makes it online line this, there are a couple of dozen that failed. At least these bots have an unlimited timescale in which to complete their tasks. Our vex robotics, sleek as they may seem, aren't exactly performance machines. I couldn't help but feel like I was making them do things beyond their capabilities more often than not. Ah well.

[Dom21guns]

Step 1. Pause video Step 2. Open Mission Impossible theme in a new tab Step 3. ???? Step 4. Profit

[MrSantamelon]

This is so cool!

[Thetrutv]

Makes no sense! Dude you are going no ware with this thing. 

[richepworth]

@adhdkoen sarcasm obviously doesn't travel well in the written word! anyway, how many books are radioactive or explode?

[jackmanlol]

while climBing

[ahoog69]

This is one of the most amazing things I have recently seen!

[Urbanoboys]

3:39 DRAGON BALL

[goname31]

Scary..



[Maverickx89]

@goname31

I had to think about skynet :D



[ross817]

Boy would I ever like to see their code.

[Mills88]

Can it swap my 360 discs?

[grimjack28]

I sure hope we won't have to shoot these things out of the sky some day.

[omma911]

Exchange book with Taliban = epic win

[mikemacmm]

3:06 shooting the grapple at the ceiling is awesome!

[Bhunt9394]

It's... beautiful.

[fighter424x]

First Books..

Then Launch Codes...

They must never learn to breed.

[agutinoff]

Teach a dog could be easier.

[destructovision]

[raysolomon]

Its going to be a loooong time before we worry about Skynet.

....and I mean a long long time.

[hectormdma]

@raysolomon

really? Should I remind you that merely four generations ago machines were powered by steam?

[lonesoldier33]

It could certainly be made faster with more multitasking

[richepworth]

@alphadexxa tongue firmly in cheek...

[myco578]

supreme commander anyone?



[MekishikojinH]

did anyone see the book Dragonball ^_^

[dch3nier]

Today Swarmanoid,

tomorrow Skynet!!!

[Darrengb]

Can this help my cat catch a fly

[michelmartinet]

inteligencia artificial intelligence artificielle

[manolis1994]

AWESOME!

[Otterrat]

now, insect bots, Tomorrow, VOLTRON!

[xGP7]

Think about the powers of robots doing teamwork when it are superrobots, indeed

[KingIsulgard]

I don't think the people over here understand what this movie is about. It's not about how good the robots are, like speed or having a grabber on the flybot or anything, it's about the robots communicating with each other to perform a task they couldn't have done alone.

Think about the powers of robots doing teamwork when it are superrobots....

[rea1high]

@KingIsulgard i get it and i thik it's pretty awesome (in the true sense of the word), but you've got to wonder why they didn't just make a hand/foot bot with a detachable flying head ;) or something like Bomber X from Star Fleet (not star trek's starfleet) ;)

[KingIsulgard]

@rea1high Then there would be no need to communicate with each other to perform tasks... And that's what this entire experiment is about.

It's NOT about the task man, it's about how they can solve it.

Think about it, if millions of nanobots could work together and morph into any shape needed to solve a certain problem. That's what they are working too. It's not about getting the stupid book.

[rea1high]

@KingIsulgard yeah, i know, i was feeling facetious

[timbro23]

The music is from Robot Hell

[Qrawzseg]

MAN THE BATTLE STATIONS!!!! THE GETH APPROACH!!!!

[lordofpowies]

is this real? like, are the robots actually making the decisions themselves, or were they just preprogrammed to make the movements seen in this video? Or, worse, are they being remote-controled by someone off-camera? If anyone knows, please tell me.

[thebob01]

Precursor to Terminator's SkyNet?

[Blargaldalien]

I wonder, how autonomous they are? Are they given a task, and "decide" which units are needed, or, is this merely a video showing the mechanical abilities of the indivdual units?

[cyberbrain666666]

LOL Dragonball-even here

[subhumanprimate]

communication and co-ordination in a real 3D environment - its very cool, the aim / goal /task of getting the book is irrelinat.

[cer3alkill3r]

Get the book urslef lazy man :D

[Shadooow1]

i think Technology like this its far for human because the Coast is too much Expensive and not perfect 100% and tae time

its like the Robot from Honda Asimo its very Expensive and its just one part and he can do more then too many Robot

if you know what this robots coast and calculate with what can they do just carry a 1 Book ????

i think this Technology will be available in 100 years for Home

[Stuchetz]

That's the future...

[ionescusemail]

Robotics at large... great video.

[djole777]

yes... but where is the HAND-job-BOT??

[Digadogup]

that is kinda scary

[Ezeg0ku]

Dragon Ball!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!

[DanAir]

Swarmanoid can't read.



[Brastius]

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

[Sozz90]

hmm so if i lost track of an item in my home i could just leave for work n come back home to see its been found. but meh. thats in another 30 years i assume

[bastahair]

такой движ из-за книжки устроили=))))))))))))) 

[deathemptiness]

GETHS!!!

[jeligula]

Now I want the Swarmanoid to read the damned book to me.

[allexcosta]

This is dumb...

30 robots to retrieve a book? Damn it...

Can't you guys just put wheels and hands on the flying one?

[hex4393]

@allexcosta then it would be far too cumbersome and big for a indoor enviroment

[DaDoctorJ]

@allexcosta

Could put the wheels on the bok instead. If that was the point sure.

[BIackMoonCGI]

I could have fetched it quicker than that.

[shaurz]

That's the most elaborate way to retrieve a book ever.

[root32exe]

таких можно посылать грабить банк.

[Puz1r]

ачуметь

[WaltTFB]

Relax everyone, 5 minutes later the batteries ran out...

[NLDAR]

До чего же прогресс дошел!

[Slothfire]

But can they work together to wipe your ass?

[richepworth]

I could have got the book quicker myself

[alphadexxa]

@richepworth that's not the point

[lonesoldier33]

@richepworth Too lazy

[loxibannij]

@richepworth

listen to what they say at the end

[adhdkoen]

@richepworth

Would you have fetched the book if it was radioactive? Or about to explode?

The robot would.

[Mrkirill578]

9 librarians have seed this video

[poppinyou5]

8 people hate life.

[Rithicus]

Now, imagine each one smaller than a mosquito....

[iente1984]

Fools! Didn't you see Terminator. Skynet is near!

Ontopic: Epic stuff. Finally my tax euros are spend right.

[scapelife]

And so... It begins.

[fallingwater]

Why are the footbots so incredibly slow? Processing power limitations of the system, or do they just have slow drivetrains?

[blazerider6]

The book is a Dragonball book...

[mcklain]

I for one welcome our new manga stealing overlords.

[jerelmani]

Umm. you wouldn't want the swarmanoid to make you and fetch a cup of tea. I think it would be ice cold by the time they deliver it!

[vizier87]

.....they should release a community working on it rather than limiting it to a team then. Hobbyists usually will come up with better ideas.

[dpennebacker]

Is that... dragonball?



[frostek]

Perhaps an assembler swarmanoid could be on the cards at some point. Building a series of different swarmanoids from bins of parts as required, or taking older ones out of circulation if their function is no longer required.

Or you could have a more generic swarmanoid body which can go to an assembler and be customised with chassis modifications as required?

[chinchillas1000]

First, its taking a book. Then the WORLD!!!

[pxjudpom]

Amazing job!

[CalvinoMovies]

Amazing !

[frostek]

@Dirtfire - What? You want them to replace women?!

(That was a joke, ladies!)

[Legalaze]

Spawn more overlords!

[JackThomson120]

Why can't the flying one just have a grabber on it?

[araincs]

Now all thats missing is a brain bot and the uprising is ready.

[MrStevePhi]

So clever!

[MsCruiseguy]

This is pretty cool!

[MrTr0llol]

More like Skynet .00001 LOL

[HpFanGuy]

Dragon Ball, a manga any nerd would create a robot army to retrieve.

[TheSuperCann]

and if there's no ceiling....

[Voranger02]

ah ça c'est cool !

[nanotech2080]

Oh for fucks sake ur taking too long... I'll just go get it myself.

[khantatat]

E' la cosa più vicina all'IA che abbia mai visto, anche se alcuni passaggi sono un po' orientati allo show visivo più che ad applicazioni general-purpose. spettacolo cmq.

[blawhh]

Woow, the robots are taking over! :O

[DanKaz92]

*halfway through phase 3* oh fuck it i'll get the fucking book myself

[kirmityou]

Honestly? I'm a little scared right now...

[akithered]

I would build them a smaller and faster and call them MEGATRON.

[uzipower]

Now they have a Batman grapnel !! We're done ! You can run but you can't hide !

[uzipower]

Now they have a Batman grapnel ! We're done ! You can run but you can't hide !

[Kanashto]

Dragonball :D

[akithered]

This is amazing at least O_O THIS IS INFUCKINGCREDIBLE!! :D Congratulations to anyone involved in the project.

[swedishnitro]

How long will it be before they drop the 'S' in title? WARMANOID v.1 is already being funded.

[mmmasterluke]

"...might be able to replace human workers in hazardous environments..."

such as libraries

[frostek]

@mmmasterluke - We should never underestimate the injuries caused by nasty paper-cuts each year.

[timemuzik]

This is going to kill us in 30 years, SHIT

[xanosdarkpaw1]

Thats pretty damn awasome. Anyone that dont think so is a asshat.

[neoaikon]

i must say, i was VERY impressed by the suction cup for grabby, I also like how they used several IR sensors spaced out and then rotated them to take a 360 degree scan much faster than one could alone.

[jawayetti]

AUTOBOTS! ROLL OUT!

[Zildjian71]

Continuation from comment: The head of IBM once said that he didn't think there would ever be a need for more than 10 of their Main Frame computers in the entire world! As you play games on your mobile device aren't you glad for all the "wasted experiments" that followed?

[Zildjian71]

The idea of parallel distributed computing has been a theory and desireable goal for years. All experimentation takes the path of uslessness to get to usable. The robots on Mars have a much longer evolution than the infant system in this video. This is bleeding edge experimentation and application. Your PC started out with gears, pulleys and hand cranks and nobody thought it would ever get anywhere.

[TexasScout]

Quite possably the most boring thing I have ever watched on Utube.

[frostek]

@TexasScout - Regrettable comment. You will be among the first scheduled for termination by a swarmanoid squad.

[zerosix1786]

@frostek how death by clamps? lol

[banyan007]

5:25 on how a robot gets a book......

you could have made a 5 sec video by just walking to the fucken book and taken it

[stetdawg]

@banyan007 Supposed to show our advances in technology asshole.

[anderson411]

2nd BOOK came out and the good danmm robot doesnt get it yet! :/ takes for ever!

[hakarumonoka]

One day when robots take over, we'll look back on this and say that this was the day it all started.

[OusaKhun]

cool but probably expensive as hell. I can send my 5year old for free to get the book.

[karl21021]

and they spend millions to find and take books:P

[clamchowder138]

Absolutely mindblowing.

[laurierchick11]

Wall-E is still my favorite little robot worker! :)

[earthmagekl7]

Did you hear that?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ *Click click click*

[PositronRobo]

The flying Eye-Bot reminds me so much of the sentry robots from Bioshock.

[BobBX542]

I, for one, welcome, and embrace our new robotic overlords...But for realsies, I thought this was awesome. I've always loved robotics and how they operate. But for all of you people worrying about the robotic uprising, we should be good as long as we don't teach them how to build eachother.

[LegendaryAdrenaline]

Hm. I can just see a swarm of those flying things attacking. And in that future I can see that bats once again become a weapon of choice.

[quaek]

question is how much the robots have been preconfigured for with this specific environment.

[Duodecillian]

@quaek The eye bots do all the scouting, but the biggest difference is that this ceiling is magnetic so that the eye bots are able to stay on the ceiling.

[JayProspero]

@quaek you can also see the shelves and book spine are colour coded for them.

[Pre114]

I love the creepy background music!!

[MisterTreesong]

WIN

[italbello6t9]

And these are just the robots that they are allowed to show the public, imagine what's behind closed doors.

[WarzSchoolchild]

The three 'Dislikes' thought the thumbs-down logo meant "Download' and the thumbs-up logo "Upload'.

[Can0spam]

Fantastic!

[0Escaflowne0]

these things are gonna be in all the new japanese porn vids
