iRobot's Soft Morphing Blob 'Bot Takes Its First Steps

[WideAngleDan]

IT MUST BE DESTROYED!!

[tom31839]

This is silly putty in the future

[Duodecillian]

Just noticed that it's 8x sped up

[Phuild]

Sooo if I every see that slimy son of a bitch I'm going to take a lighter and a can of WD40 to it

[MrMonkeyLogic]

.....i hate to ask the internet questions..... but does anyone else get strangly turned on by this?

[sheepgangordie]

why does it have to be iRobot. why can't it be mRobot or say..... um... idaknow kRobot. NO! WRobot yes!!

[Jakecoolio123]

Rocklord!

[MERMAIDSHAVETOBEREAL]

Kill it with fire!!!!!!!

[DaffyDaffyDaffy33322]

EEEEW, KILL IT

[hippykiller1]

This video is two years old. Where are you at now?

[michaelr0x0rs]

Nope

[divineagent]

Are you also teaching it to learn how to learn? Seems everyone's doing that these days.

[seaz69]

YEAH MR WHITE,

YEAH SCIENCE

[Bannermankyle]

kill that shit with fire

[imost111]

Science: it works, bitches

[jliu512]

Japanese tentacle rape will be a reality soon !

[bladerunner12]

It looks like something that would grab onto your face and fill you with alien eggs.

[DUHFUNKIEPURPLEHIPPO]

it reminds me of that thing in the matrix they put on your belly button!

[kgbstalin]

Icosahedrons FTW! 

[gryzimil]

It has no mouth and it must scream.

[WestNinja]

your mic needs  pop filter

[Zeath163]

THE BLOB!!!!

[patricroberts]

Hi my name is Patric Roberts. I am a junior at Hartford High School in Vermont. I have seen your videos and photos of your various models of robots. I am enrolled in a class called digital history. The students work together on websites that go live on the internet, my partners and I were interested in using your video giving you proper credit and leaving a link to this video and leaving all proper rights to your youtube account. Thank for your time

[Shiboneko]

Ugly as hell, looks like an rolling kidney or an eggsack from some creepy alien.

[rafar96]

But will it blend?

[HellownElijah]

So.. They've created the Blob... GG

[valatubeable]

Gives me creeps, looks like an egg of alien of some sort

[heinkelg]

Nice video! Very informative, intelligent, and interesting!

[themanwithaplan13]

0:57 happens to me everytime i'm with a girl :p

[tastytunes]

could this possibley be used in the place of "Mussles" in humanioid robots? (insted of motors)

[ElementInfinity]

@tastytunes

Check Festo's Extraordinary Robots That Mimic Biology II

Look also for the SmartBird

[TGDproductions]

this could take over... the lawn

[4nalyd]

it looks like a D20! Very good for fixing rolls in D&D

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

I feel like the future is now

[kimosabesun]

amazing

[danielwhitman]

But will it blend!?!?

[Skorge111]

terminator 2 anyone

[soopahChink]

zerg egg rush?

[teejaynumber13]

Oops. This video was top-secret!

[awesomelyshiny]

If I saw that thing crawling after me out of nowhere, I would shit myself.

[ZasterDisatster]

can u program it to give u Head?

[tassiodealmeida]

it's just a hightec baloon.

[MrAnimeScott]

But Will it Blend? That is the question.

[imsixcolors]

This is simultaneously incredibly cool and incredibly creepy. I want to edit in a voice over that whispers, "Kill me" at the end.

[MrFivefivefivesix]

This would be fantastic if you could figure out a way to put a camera on it so it can find earthquake victims.

[sickleandsuckle]

Imagine that rapidly expanding in the anus of an insurgent.

[BabyPilly]

@sickleandsuckle Cracked.

[sickleandsuckle]

lol i know

[apocq]

thank you for uploading this! i found this pretty interesting! thx

[RedUnbannable]

JESUS CHRIST

JESUS

GET THE WATA NIGGUH

[marinemom70]

this is the best video ever

[KoutetsuTenshin]

I have the weirdest boner right now

[leauxbert]

The T-1000's great-grandfather.

[dusparr]

My d20 can roll itself now, cool!

[jimmy134496]

looks like something that would say, killlll meeeee.....

[PotatoMasher1234]

One final question. Will it Blend?

[fanjapanischermusik]

@PotatoMasher1234

lets find out...

[JamesMichaelNewton]

The explanation at the start is interesting and informative. The video of the "blob" rolling is... horrific! Well worth checking out, if only for the fear factor.

[strawberrybell52]

Well that was mildly fucking horrifying

[Pretzels722]

looks like my balls

[StormRisingOriginal]

wow, pencil drawn? Could not afford 3d animation? was this developed in mexico?

[bg4tification]

@StormRisingOriginal

@spectrummag

very well pencil drawn i might add

[moatwog]

This is the technology we need for android genitals. WIN!

[Kolosos007]

IT LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!!­!!!

[SKATERuprising]

i find this video pleasing to masturbate to.

[MrMistery101]

I love the music. set it on mute and it looks ridiculous, but with the music...Badass

[kimgar95]

THIS IS FUCKING SMART! I want one

[Bubbiea]

aww its sort of cute

[yourcathatesme]

but will it blend?

[100thwindowful]

i got hope for augmentaion to improve muscles and nerve tissues possibly leading to stronger bodies possibly for millitary use or for patients experiencing extreme aptrophy like elderly people or injured people.

[MarcusM1995]

But will it blend?

[blutfrosch]

But will it make entertaining noises when squeezed?

[linux750]

wow. this is impressive. when civilians get a hold of this technology it'll be used in lots of things such as, self inflatable sports equipment, the construction of artificial limbs, amazing prosthetics, new and "flexible" sex toys, or augments to our own bodies.

[markusb2]

will it blend? :/

[crimsloch]

the question is will it blend?

[mogramjo]

Hmmm...maybe if smaller could be useful medically.

[omg2manyusers]

Did anyone else think to themselves "IT LIVES"?

[nothingtoyouatall]

yes yes ,but can can you fuck it?

[BillDalek]

Yes!!! 

[IODanyael]

I don't know whether to be amazed or terrified by this. Either way, it's pretty awesome.

[kasmene74]

Amazing!!, Seems the pod from the movie eXistenZ by David Cronenberg

[JakFan13]

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! IT'S THE BLOB!!!!

[kylesalyer45]

Thumbs up if you were linked here from a video on Cracked.

[Gileum]

This is how the Yellow Devil from MegaMan will work.

[Hightechrider]

Take a look at "Dark Star - Sgt. Pinback and the alien" on YouTube - they had these back in 1974 :)

[starduck2]

Wow! A robot that walks!!! The world will never be the same!

[vanalla1594]

Fuck Arnold Schwarzeneggar, We already have the T-1000 :|

[CuervoBlack06]

Inflate-a-Breasts. Implants that go from an A cup to a D in seconds. It would be like inflating/deflating your tires but without the costly multiple surgeries. I can't be the only one that thought of this while watching this clip.

[theidiotcure]

The new wave in fleshlights! COMING SOON!!!

[oxiredo]

can u make it like a dick shape: _|_ ? :)

[Buddhabright]

Isn't that the technology behind the bad-guy toys in the old Stretch Armstrong line?

[cirds1]

if they make these for army purposes it will be scary its gona be like a assasin that slids in ur nose when ur sleeping then inflats and sufacates you xD

[dmgirl3000]

@cirds1

Well, it would more easily enter through the mouth and lodge itself in the trachea.

[wantomek]

@cirds1 it won't be used for those purposes, because the counterweapon is cheap, and easy to find. A needle is all it takes to disable these robots. :P

[everyonetookmynick]

ZERGS ARE COMING

[TalkBack01]

Its ALIVE!

ALIVE I tell yah!

[booboo481]

Awsome

[BitingToKill]

Yay blobs! =O Woot!

[manmanchan00]

i hate that music

[Jaspian]

This thing moves totally creepily. :/

[hagpa2]

thats like a useless testecal..

[josdewitte]

Inagen if that think need to replace your hart...

It's like

Yeay now i want a triangle hart or make it look like ....(any shape)

Wouldn't that be fucking weird

[chickenpun]

why do i get the feeling that this would have been better if presented by demetri martin?

[ZaneBarrow]

Imagine this thing crawling into your throat... and expanding...

Also, cracked.com sent me here.

[LamentOfInnocence1]

That's real... erm... neato and all...

But um...

Just what is it supposed to do? Roll around?

[Adhoc57]

The ancestor of Shoggoths?

[petrino]

so...this ios model 1... so the t1000 is...10 years away?

[Tellthatruth]

And how is this useful?

[igorbog88]

But can you have sex with it?

[Vidman185]

@igorbog88 why would you want to have sex with it??!!! u really desperate dude???!!!!

[1Nekit1]

@igorbog88 it will chase you in bed, it will have sex with you, NOT wise-verse

[notaseasyasitlooks]

CRACKED brought me here.

[suihkubad]

@notaseasyasitlooks me too but nobody gives a fuck so you wont get in to the highest rated box

[notaseasyasitlooks]

@suihkubad u mad?

[suihkubad]

@notaseasyasitlooks yes I am because when the highest rated comment box appeared, youtube has been full of idiots reusing the jokes that got into the box in other videos

[notaseasyasitlooks]

@suihkubad Looks like someone takes the Internet too seriously.

[st333v]

damn Dark Star was way ahead of its time: youtube com /  watch?v=dSgmYWaQbR8

[KyleFromAbove117]

Rule #34. No exceptions.

[drkraid]

they see me rollin'

[MomoGasumi]

I don't know a lot about robotics or anything of that nature, so I'm sure this is actually an impressive piece of technology, but that being said, I just feel like I watched a sentient pimple dance around a bunch of desks.

[LaraLove23]

This looks entirely unimpressive.

[goldenaxel321]

cracked! :D

[LeftyHangsLower]

This thing reminds me of a Tool music video.

[angelgril1984]

hmzsexI girl looking for a sexi Guy Or girl hihi

[roidroid]

it basically uses the technology in beanbag chairs.

[007k5]

here people gona make a horror movie about

[1schwererziehbar1]

yeah, man! japanese porn is going to get even weirder.

[PaladinHludwig]

This could be used to make artificial muscles and hearts also. These people are brilliant, what an amazing invention! Imagine other types of robots using this technology for artificial muscles instead of heavy bulky servos or hydraulics to move.

[adriannadannyfan]

 WHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECKWHAT THE HECK

That's awesome.

[RedRessonance]

it's cool technology, but the video is too Hollywood.

[wormwoodacoustic]

This thing should be in the next Tool video.

[crashoveride17]

this technology could very well be applied to artificial muscles.if you built a skeleton and designed the shape of this robot around the skeleton you could enable movement through the compression and contraction of this robot. and since you said it does this by sucking air in and blowing air out in your little drawing then there could be a design for a pump to do this that would act as the "heart" of the robot

[jkamelo]

@crashoveride17 .... oh shit thats smart haha

[MyMediaGames]

From 2:00 onwards this video scared the crap out of me. That is the beginning of the end for the human race. 

[mrfuzzles92]

WWWWTTTTTTFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[Doublehp]

Please, indicate how many times the video is accelerated.

[FaceInTheBooty]

all we need to do is shoot some needles to kill these balloon bots...

[NeKoShinn666]

GROWS looks sexi it turns me on o.0

[Icalasari]

O Y HALO THAR PROTOTYPE TERMINATOR!

[ShuHibiki]

For those of you saying this is useless, the wheel had to be invented before the rest of the car was. (Obvious metaphor, but completely relative.)

[ShuHibiki]

@ElWiiTard How is a shortage of organ donors worse than lacking the ability to transplant at all?

[Supergirlxo12]

Ew. Looks nasty.

[PATISHAH]

crazy shit!

[Mzgajaleti]

wow... this would serve as a great vibrator...

[gimmeadollr]

Dear god that was terrifying.

[slaryt6]

if u made the triangle pasterns smaller u could do more designs

[soundslave]

@ElWiiTard Cancer existed looong before X-rays, and there's no evidence to suggest that average exposure to x-rays in a human lifetime raises the risk of cancer.

[santaclauz2000]

hahaha sry that doesnt look so great yet

[kei1010101010]

That's nice technology and----- Cute blob.

I wonder why people making bad rumors about it? XD

[WickeddArtist]

the world doesn't have to revolve around you, you know.

[Amaxander]

@penrox1 now you wont have to use those stubby legs of yours to go to the fridge or change the channel. now your lazy ass can just sit at home and when your welfare check comes to the door you can have your robot get it for you.

you DO know that science and expanding our knowledge of it has MORE to do with the growth of knowledge than your insignificant short little life right?

[z3Carlos]

FLUBBER XD

[FelixCulpa81]

what a great concept - brilliant

[ratchetkill4]

lol that thing looks gross

[FATxDAN]

pritty scary shit

[Boleniana]

Good LORD that thing is terrifying, I'll never look at a d20 the same way again.

[Romashk]

it's alive! )

When I first heard of chembots, I kinda imagined it like this... still a bit freaky, one of these things crawling out of you kitchen sink wouldn't be pleasant.

[Stephenalverez]

That thing scared me when it went on a rampage across the table! I thought it was going to go slow, then, WAM!

[adric137]

brillant

[KarpKomet]

darpa is the shiznit

[chatboss000]

This robot is gr8 tech--they should sell them--something like"get a real live blob pet" or something

[hondica]

Next big thing will be blow-job robot :)

[slaryt6]

@hondica i want one then lol

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@hondica

I'm pretty sure those already exist...

[Huffdev]

@hondica make one then

[elijahlucian]

@hondica YESSSSS

[valken666]

@hondica already here, google venus 2000

[WarezSoft]

A terrible thing! Horror! :-)

[artman40]

We reached the Uncanny Valley quite a few years ago.

Guess now we're also discovering the Eldritch Funnel.

[IceC80]

Ok, I think this is a really cool robot, but, honestly, isn't it a high tech balloon? What's the benefit of such technology, or, more precisely, what's the benefit of the expanded form? Why not just make a smaller robot to begin with?

[purplepandaco]

It's just a base for future technology.

[AppA]

It's the roboblob :O

th
