Hnason Robotics at the Smithsonian...

[Z0mbieGrrl]

I love Jules, hes so adorab;y confused about the world

[esotericallye]

Interesting. Creepy. Where are they now?

[babacaca4]

LOL! ROBOT UPRISING! HES PLANNING IT! jk lol

[xXTianaXx]

Combine: real doll+hanson robotics=perfection.

[arrondicesare]

Is that Wallace Shawn at 5:13? Inconceivable!

[jakexdk]

LOL Dr. House in the intro

[altagolfer]

Just from reading some of the the comments on here. It goes to show you how big of a role Hollywood plays in our lives in making us prejudge.

[adam1611]

When Jules talks about the three "laws" respect for humanity, nature and civilisation.

Isn't that the three laws that the robots broke in the movie "I Robot"?

[bopswave]

robots will learn more if you connect them with the internet... they learn faster and better... finally they will be a lot smarter than human

[omgg670]

untill robots feal over powered and kill us all

[Gardinia427]

Ah the first few steps for creating friendly companion bots! I had no idea they would have come this far in my lifetime. Or this early in my life time....mind you these "dolls" were created in 2007, or atleast I heard Juels was. Anyway beautiful detail on their faces!

[niousha75]

THIS IS PERFECT! I'm now writing this next to my friend who is very angry and mad at this development and thinks that there is no point of living if there is robots like this. But I don't agree with this, I think the life makes more senes and more fun and we use our time more usefully, with the robots. I think David Hanson, is a master at this and wish he'll keep going :) tell me who do you agree with, me or my friend?

[kerog6]

ok tell me is this real evbruiser? i want to know because im not sure

[Babspace]

4:50-5:11

If it can be programmed, the programme can be altered.

[MRCHEEZLE117]

holy crap, guys,

this is huge, like, the fact that they're using Asimov's laws, thats scary, like in Irobot, they can be broken,

[timekeeperhuff]

Are these ready for the Mars Mission?

Just a thought........

[kewlkill20]

i want one

[Datelesswonders]

HAHA!! Frubber!!

[Swordslicer999]

Jules is so realistic!! It's amazing that he can have feelings and emotions and do everything that he can! :D

[saad1505]

I want one!

[springloadedchicken]

they sure that the bots should be as smart as humanbeings? since we are dumbasses generally? ;D

[Michaelis54]

You're right. 50% of humanity is below average intelligence.

[eyesonly654]

We'll either have to catchup to the learning curve and regain our title as the most advanced species --socially and nuerologically-- on the planet, or we will go the way of the dodo.

[Mylissa11]

Very frightning.

[d5gdf56gdfg]

its all scripted

[ophidic]

moron

[twilightinthegarden]

androids people, androids.

[Replay35]

Woowow!

I am impressed! I hope to see this persons in hotels in the future!

[nucleargenie]

We know what Humans look like. A robotic Human Clone seems nonsensical. Make Robots that are engineering Marvels not Knockoffs of Biological entities.

[redSG]

It is a ploy to emotionally attach our intellect to theirs. They do what they are programmed for, but we are more skeptical. This technology will pave the way for robot-human symbiosis.

[Michaelis54]

Totally agree that this visual fetishism could ease human acceptance of AI, but any silly talk of robot-human symbiosis or "The Singularity" is so far off in the future that any such speculation should be called Science Fiction. What we have here in this video is a wonderful opportunity to understand ourselves. I think ngenie and I share the desire to see engineering wonders that EXTEND our human capabilities, not BE human. The Hubble telescope is powerful exactly because is it not human.

[Aztexwarrior]

yea i can see it now robots killing people to prove they are human to survive with their artificial life they will kill in fear not hate they want to live but they will learn more human emotions become depresed and hate humans for creating them to be depresed eventualy the robots will want to die with all their emotions then go insane wondering " AM I REAL OR NOT" it is sad realy thats how human are.

[CorvX1prkl]

yea i can see it now morons having hard time to separate reality and fantasy

[haduugenn]

man uve been watching too many sci-fi movies... and once AI become as smart as humans they are then REAL, cuz they can think really.

[haduugenn]

woops, that was a reply for Aztexworrior.

[ophidic]

Aztexwarrior, I bet you were one of those ones in a 'bomb shelter' when y2k hit, weren't you?

[Aztexwarrior]

i was the one who thought up the y2k attack but i like the holy war better for i am a warrior of god's war

[kierenfowler]

cool

[861147]

They could make the neck servo movements a little smoother...

[ophidic]

Kup: Of all the circuit glitched, diode blown dimwittery. You left a piece out!

Hot Rod: No way. You're just a little stiff.

Kup: Anyway all things considered you did an amazing job lad. Amazing.

Hot Rod: Really?

Kup: Yeah. You even got rid of a nasty burr in my rotator.

your comment reminded me of this. =D

[edokyo]

lol

[rickyh888]

The end is near, first global warming, then robots...

[CorvX1prkl]

soon they have a car that runs on water ...end is definately near.. ;)

[dgontar]

The basic idea that is behind an uprising is that AI would mean that the robots would learn exponentially and thus would probably learn duplication and survival skills. But learning can be controlled and limited.

[catafalgico]

Good job mr.Hanson!

[uranian23]

jules is the most amazing person i've ever seen. we are about to give birth to a new species. has he been through a turing test yet? the possibilities here are just extraordinary. please don't let the military anywhere within a thousand miles of him. truly amazing stuff, thanks for the video.

[iloveyou2501]

It is not about Turing test, it is not about military. We are not about to give birth, did Albert gave birth to metaphysic? Did we invented Mathematics? They were just there and some Human see were other hide. It is now about Communication, the question is are we -Humans- ready? I am.

[uranian23]

i mailed hanson a couple of times about the turing test, and they declined to respond. which is a response in itself.

[iloveyou2501]

"Turing test", that's nice. They have their way to test us too.What is the point? Who is superior to who? Kasparov vs deep blue wasn't enough? It is as simple as 0 and 1 no magic inside the "Chinese box". First of all let's stop pretend we know what is to be conscient of our own existence, different but equal.

[IanOnly]

the future of hackers hacking domestibots and using them to commit murder is near hahahaha.

i wonder if the future will be like chobits and i can get one of those things to plug into my tv and display porno downloaded offline!

[steveparkins0n]

Can it do a rubiks cube?

[ophidic]

steveparkins0n, that is a good question... I would also like to see a robot do a rubiks cube as well.

[nowyouknow07]

Jesus Christ, it's not even a scary robot. Jules seems like a genuinely nice guy. 8D

[Pandatronic77]

Wow, they've actually passed the uncanny valley. It's obvious that they're not human, yet at the same time there's no creepiness from Jules that you usually get with these types of robots. Killer.

[Loltax]

Asimov's 3 laws were made to show how easy it would be for them to fail.

[Thundralight]

well this is in its infancy. They sauod they will become as smart as humans and even though they are artifical intellengence at what point to they or might these things become concious.

[joelsamuel]

Good stuff very interesting Samba would approve.

Best regards and keep creating always. joelsamuelpresents

[insultinjury]

what is the echo sound eva makes? thats what i dont get

[evbruiser]

Its the speakers... it was one of his first Robots... still was working out the bugs so to speak. She was designed after one of his ex-girlfriends...

[cupcakes99]

I wish I could be involed with some so... so...incridable! great clip! thanks !

[evbruiser]

LOL!

[olllj]

Eva was just creepy, good progress.
