  • smoking a bong @ 0:28 pretty good

  • first step on robots taking over the world you people are gonna regret inventing robots someday!!

  • 00:34

    And so the human/robotic alliance was settled and the war was over, for now....

  • can it shuffle?

  • T5 Terminator endoskeleton.

  • I always wondered why they never tried harder to create a robot that uses human anatomy... How do muscles work, and how can we create robotic versions of them?

  • so it shall take an arrow to the knee.

  • sex robots in 10 years !

  • But will it blend?

  • I wouldn't use motors for something like this. I'd try to replicate the muscles whereby air is pumped into a tube like muscle (shaped) structure. As the tube feels with air so it will contract, this should create a smoother movement ...I think ;o\

  • Ok, but now i want a Robot with boner.

  • I don't want a robot that 'moves like me' I want one that moves like MJ!

  • Terminator Version 0.1

  • Comment removed

  • @anubis801 Fifty years to go 1.0, I think....

  • @sammasana no way at the rate were working already itll take much less than fifty years...unless the comp lobbyists starts butting in and demand gasoline motors to be put on all future designs >_<

  • @MasterOfFlash92 Well, sufficient brains needed for that. These will come up only little earlier.

  • he needs to get off that fucking diet! 

  • Built like me? THAT THINGS A FREAKIN CYCLOPS!

  • The dude?/alien?/god? Who did the human, did good job except Jagger.

  • this is a bad idea didn't y'all watch terminator.

  • @Burtification only if they make it out of stuff that doesn't burn, currently it is mostly made of plastic for structures, so any fir will melt it.

  • @Burtification

    This is closer to the truth than you might be thinking of. All the sci-fi films provides insight into the future. Not exactly but to get an good idea of what is reachable.

  • He has not pennis

  • Great video keep up the good work.

  • whats the point ?,

    if you make robots just as fragile as humans,

    they wont make very good workers...

    Humans are kind of all purpose machines that lets us do almost anything

    but we don't really excel at anything particular.

    Shouldn't we build specialized robots that can perform a specific job extremely well.

    (like a trekker for pulling or a race-car for high-speed)

  • @unamaxify

    if you train a particular thing for years you WILL excel in this

    and we already have specialized robots (the robot arms that assemble cars for example)

    so this is just trying to recreate a human

  • @ThePoorShogun

    no matter how long i train i won't be as good as a machine specifically designed

    to do that.-> i have been swimming and diving for about 18 years now, my lungs are about 3 times as capable as "normal" people lungs of my size(6ft4), yet a cheap compressor from the local hardware store blows up an inflatable boat 10x as fast as me.

    -> so i don't really excel

    The same goes for robots:

    universal robots will be nothing more than a toy ground for AI in university labs

  • @unamaxify Thomas Watson, former CEO of IBM, once said "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." I have a feeling that in a hundred years, your last sentence will be looked at with the same ridicule.

  • @imak179

    Yeah maybe you are right,

    Still there are more examples of inventions that never became successful against the odds than those that did.

    -

    I just imagined a use for robots that are build like real humans

    -> sex-bots, i bet those would be real popular in Japan, since they already have a flourishing market for highend puppets.

    I'm an engineer & in my mind only things that perform measurable work are useful

    maybe I have too narrow of a view

    Like you say the future will tell.

  • @unamaxify I can easily see a day where people have robots working for them in their houses. Doing dishes, cleaning, moving heavy things. Obviously it would begin with the wealthiest families, but eventually, the technology will become cheaper and robots will become mainstream. I can see robots taking over the construction industry. Who wants human workers that get tired and need food, vacation time, health insurance? Robot soldiers, robot assembly line workers and robot waiters/servers.

  • @unamaxify and thats just the beginning. As AI gets better, they'll be able to perform more complex tasks. They'll take over most desk jobs, become nurses, teacher aids. Eventually, when they become as smart or smart than humans, they'll become the doctors, the engineers, the scientists. Personally, I think (and hope) that we'll somehow merge with machines, so that humans don't become completely obselete

  • @imak179

    i bet you really liked the movie iRobot, your vision sounds just like it.

    Humans merging with machines has already begun (artificial limb, pacemaker, hearing aid,...)

    But for robots to become as independent & versatile as humans , we humans would need to be able to understand our own brain, & recreate it in a portable package.

    -> Maybe in a thousand years, by then nobody will need a household aid anymore

    because we'll have replicators & teleporters ;-)

  • @unamaxify you're exactly right, we would need a perfect understanding of how the brain works. I don't think it'll take a thousand years though.. maybe 300-400 years, or maybe i'm just being optimistic. Either way, it'll happen eventually. and yes I did love iRobot :P. It was great to see my thoughts visualized. One big thing I had thought about before seeing the movie was driverless cars. I think that's something we'll see in our lifetimes; just google "smart highways"

  • @imak179

    yeah 300-400 years until we have a simulated brain running in a supercomputer

    but until its as small and efficient as an actual human brain, it might take allot longer.

    -

    Oh i know all about driver-less cars, i'm burning with anticipation.

    i' would be an early adopter, because i'm a really bad & slow driver.

    I'm stressed out if i drive on roads that i don't know, and i piss off all the other people. You see i'm really good at designing machines, but not good at piloting em.

  • @unamaxify I would love nothing more than to live long enough to see all these technologies change the world. That's why once I reach age 80, I'm freezing myself. It might take 2 or 3 hundred years before they can revive me. It might take a thousand. It might never happen. But it's worth the risk since I'd be about to die anyway.

  • @imak179

    well good plan,

    but until somebody actually finds a way to prevent the crystallization

    that destroys all the cells (killing you for good) during the freezing process it's not worth spending much money on.

    Today they essentially just sell false hope.

    If that problem can be solved, it might be worth it,

    but that leaves you with another problem.

    what incentive do the future people have to resurrect you ?

    or do you have a genius mind, that would be worth the effort for them.

  • @unamaxify People being frozen today have their blood drained and replaced with a solution that significantly reduces crystallization. Once nanotechnology is mature, they'll be able to send hundreds of thousands of tiny robots that will be able to fix you, cell by cell. and that's just what we can foresee based on today's research. Who knows what technological wonders the future will hold that we can't even comprehend right now. Imagine explaining skype to someone living on a farm 100 years ago.

  • @unamaxify Either way, I'd have nothing to lose. I'm gonna die anyway, so I'd take a shot at it. If it works, great. If not, then im no worse off than I was before.

    btw, in response to an earlier statement you made, I've heard multiple times that if Moore's law holds, then by 2040, there will be a computer as powerful as the human brain, and that by 2050, a $1,000 computer would be more powerful than the entire human species. Moore's law has actually proved to be a little conservative to date.

  • @imak179

    crystallization solved, that leave the motivation for future people to defrost you.

    (why revive an out-dated-useless person) What about giving the freezing-money to your children instead?

    -

    Raw processing power does not make a brain, it also would need a software that matches human intelligences. This requires that we have an understanding of our brain

    (can a brain understand itself ?) maybe we would need a way to digitize a persons mind first to fully understand how it works.

  • @unamaxify There's a company by the name of Alcor that will freeze you for $200,000. That amount includes yearly payments for maintenence, etc. So unfreezing me would simply be fulfilling a contractual obligation. Also, future anthropologists would probably want to talk to people from the past. Either way, I can't really lose. It either works (the chances are probably low), and I get to see the future and possibly live forever as a machine. If it doesn't I die, which will happen anyway.

  • @unamaxify and yes I agree. Computers might be powerful enough by 2040, but the actual AI would take longer to program; I hadn't thought of that. I think that a brain can understand itself. I think that the brain is essentially a mechanical thing. Each neuron has tens of thousands of connections. All the connections together make up our memories, thoughts, etc. It might take time, but we will eventually be able to understand it, simulate it, recreate it, and maybe even reprogram it.

  • but does it blend?

  • handjob robot

  • awsome!!

  • ABBBBOMMIIINNAAAATTIIOONNN PEOPLE!!

    ROBOTS AREN'T EVOLVED HUMANS THERE GHOST IN A SHELL

  • @aaronsamuel84 Are you spazzing out as a joke, or seriously raging?

  • i was just kidding dude

  • @aaronsamuel84 Oh sorry then. I wasn't even aware that my comment went through. YT gave me that crappy 'sorry-please-thanks' error message.

  • This is awesome. With electro-active polymer muscles and Boston Dynamics petman reflexes it could work. Bye bye manual labor he he :D

  • But does he have moves like Jagger?

  • @XargenTelNada ..ahhaha he can move like Michael Jackson. i think

  • Does it wank?

  • @KellieSmunt Only if it moves like we do.

  • And what about GLaDOS???

  • humans are natures robots

  • @lceman11 Not really, we weren't created... especially not for a purpose.

  • 0:31 Pass the bong robot bro :P

  • Were being replaced.

  • Why are they using this idea in humanoid robotics before prosthesis?

  • @Xdoggydog297x it is being used in prosthesis. But keep in mind that prosthesis also need to be custom made to attach to the remaining nerves of the patient. It's easier to do because its pure robotics and not partly medical.

  • Oh god, the decepticons can copy our physical features...

  • And they named it Cronus? I'm assuming they were going for the sense of primordial prototype but they may want to read more on what the name means...

  • @Lyinginbedmon haha, oh yeah. Nice one.

  • the next evolution will be carbon nanotube bones

  • Programming every one move is not the best way to create a robot's behavior.

    I think future is about bio robotics. You can see it in this video /watch?v=1QPiF4-iu6g

  • Yes its possible that one day when we've totally farked planet earth they'll be more robots than humans.

  • I've seriously invented much better technology and robotics back in the day...

    This blows.

  • @AndyHarglesis Go away.

  • @AndyHarglesis get off fagget no one likes you

  • @mattydog097 Like you know me. lol.

  • @AndyHarglesis you say you have invented better robotics and shit but you don't even know how they make that one... back in your day? yur fuckin 14 kid GTFO

  • @mattydog097 I'm 13, actually... and by "back in the day" I meant last Tuesday. :P

  • @AndyHarglesis 13? well then stop talking to me then you fucking emo little kid...

  • @mattydog097 Learn who I am, then judge! :P

  • @AndyHarglesis I can't help but laugh at you.

  • @mymiuchiz Thanks! I wasn't joking though, my friend! :D

  • Now this is stuff I like to see.

  • they said they would be back and now they are. run for your lives terminators are coming

  • Controlling that much degrees of freedom cannot be programmed – it must be learned. But learning requires a skin for feedback. Although I like the idea of copying the human body with artificial bomes and muscles instead of motors, I have to say that I don't think that this project will ever work. It's just another show.

  • 0:33: lady speaks about joints while robot holds bong.

  • I hate her voiiiiiiice!!!! But I love the videooooooos!

  • what's wrong with it's face?

  • Now give him real AI and we're fucked

  • It's the way to go - although it's going to take some time i think

  • 0:31

    ohh....

    you like pepsi?

  • Hook this thing up to an actor and you can change their look easily. An interesting tool to use in Holywood... or at least for Vegas impersonators! Imagine if they used carbon nano-muscles instead of stepper motors/servos!

  • Comment removed

  • @2JAMMY  no need to bullshit us we already know your a virgin =p

  • Robots are going to take over the world...

  • I for one WELCOME our new robotic OVERLORDs !!!

  • it moves way more fluid than me.

  • she sounds like a robot

  • that's what I like to call fucking stupid.

  • Intresting stuff, keep us updated.

  • why wouldnt they just try to copy the human body if they want them to do what we do

  • so you can paralize it by giving a good whack in the back?

  • Hey Skynet called....

  • dammit.....terminator is closer than i thought...im not ready yet !!!!!!!!!

  • This thing is creepy!! >O<

  • what is the main rule in dune?

    never create machines that mimics what man can do.

    will we ever learn from sci-fi?

  • ask Japan for help

  • ok if they're going to make robots they should make em weak like this one, that way we can break his ass if he tries anything funny.

  • @jorgetvilla The problem is that our intention is usually to make things that do our work better so it will most likely be built stronger...otherwise there's no point in building something that does your job worse! lol

  • aahaha... nice pepsi ad placement 

  • KILL IT WHIT FIRE!!!!!!

  • Creepy

  • why is it artificial intelligence. We make their intelligence out of computer chips and processors. ours is made out of electricity through synaposis. maybe they have a very low level of thinking. i mean were programmed to work a certain way and when we do we feel emotion. How can we recreate that.

  • i think this is disgusting and the people who amde this monstrocity and the funding people should be executed.

  • @MrAcardell Well luckily close minded individuals like yourself aren't in charge of such things. If they were there would be a lot more death, apparently.

  • @MrAcardell I really hope you will someday use some kind of artificial limb made with this technology. Would be so ironic.

  • @MrAcardell Now arent you the downspout of humanity lol :p

  • @MrAcardell You've watch Terminator too many times. It's not real btw.

  • Get to the CHOPPER!

  • Robot. Apocalypse.

  • It's a cyclops that's weird.

  • Helllllo Skynet

  • @jpmorgan187 Bwahahahaha!!!!

    

  • @jpmorgan187 like the animaniacs part in your comment :D

  • He moves like a drunk:D

  • it looks like Zombor from chrono trigger.

    CHRONUS TRIGGER*gets slapped*

  • who is the narrater, the voice is anoying!

  • untill i see a robot just like the ones off the movie I robot then i just think its just another peace of plastic machano/ lego/ childs toy. im not interested in how its constructed i just want to see true artificial intelligence if that is ever possible. dont think im stupid i do understand just how much of a complicated task that it is not to mention the amount of people who will moan!!! saying shit like oh!! no were playing god!!! who cares man its interesting. why should we stop learning?

  • All this talk about souls on a science video is out of place. If you want to talk about souls, gods, unicorns, elves, giant flying spaghetti monsters or anything else fictional do it somewhere else please.

  • I just hope they give it an Austrian accent!!

  • 0:35

    I just imagined Chronos malfunctioning and crushing the fuck out of the guy's hand.

    That would definitely be one for the bloopers reel.

  • @ChaotixMachine

    Haha! Yeah, I am already looking forward to the youtube videos of malfunctioning robots in the future! xD

  • Meh, it couldn't even do that dude... The thing uses fucking bungee cords and string coupled with weak motors to move. Couldn't do a damn thing to a person... We're 10x stronger than it currently is...

  • This robot looks creepy.

  • look like some kind of offworld-humanoids. creepy ..

  • .....yeah this is very interesting but i think that we're crossing the line between science and playing god.

  • animals have souls

  • @Kimakuru unlike ginger people

  • Nop, since souls do not exist.

  • "and with some artificial intelligence Chronos may behave more like us too"

    This ridiculous comment tagged on the end of the video, and the single sentence reference to AI in the article, just shows the gap between science journalism and research. Why did the author even bother, when it just makes them sounds like an idiot?

  • sweet bong!

  • really cool!!

  • Why are people using motors for stuff like this?

    I heard of a fabric that shrinks when you pass electric current through it can't that simulate a muscle better than a motor?

    Dunno just a though.

  • Doesnt sound like a bad idea,

    (if the material regenerate as it should).

    Thou good concept .

    Do u remember what the fabric is called ?

  • I think it's called polypower

  • Ithere is a company that is making something similar to that, using pneumatic muscles. They function with compressed air to contract the muscle. There are videos of robotic fish and other machines that use them on youtube.

  • One thing robots will never have that we do, is a soul. Sure, they could have hearts, they could have a functioning brain, but only man will have the gift of soul and real emotion.

  • but how do we know we actually have souls and also know that our emotions cannot genuinely be reproduced. not trying to argue but wondering. As far as I can see our emotions are based on our biology. Science has recreated basic cells virtually. So I do see why i can't be possible if given enough time.

  • To answer your question, let me recall to when I was still young. Back then, my mother told me that things like emotions and soul cannot be made through cells or scientific theory. She called both souls and emotions "anti-matter" because they aren't made of ANY kind of matter, therefore being impossible to truly create. That's why I call these two: gifts. :D

  • tThere is no soul. Have you evidence to back up your assertion that there is a soul? no? ok thought not.

  • if there is no soul ask yourself seriously: do you consider yourself a robot? a pet, an animal?

    or there is something more about being human?

    how do u give value to yourself on what basis?

    RU programmed ? or there is that soul that long to God and freedom inside U?

    IF not U can choose to commit suicide maybe it is freedom

  • How do we not know that what you refer to as a soul is merely just a matter of thought.. And if that is the case, then perhaps a "soul" can be programmed into the machine. Maybe even giving it a bigger soul than standard human issue, by incorporating it into a multi processor super computer running in three dimensional mode.

  • look like an alien >.>

  • i knew the best way to make a humanoid robot would be to copy our bones and anatamy but it be hard cuz we dont have artaficial muscles

  • HOLY CRAP IS THAT SHAPE-LOCK?!?

  • OH MY GOD!

    ITS CRUSHING MAH HAND!

    (it has begun)

  • people will probably be required to carry liability insurance for these guys it they take them out into public. And will probably have special laws that regulate their use.

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaah first prototype of THE TERMINATOR!! human race is doomed

  • Well it was gonna be said at some time wasnt it.

  • hehah..

  • LOL XD

  • O.o that robot look soooo complicated to build...

  • when they can create an entire human body like that I will donate my brain so the robot can use actual brain signals to "live" then I will kill you all you parasitic human germs!!!! no just kidding, but I really would donate my brain to be a living robot... ahhh a life without pain!

  • without sex as well, you wouldn´t be able to kiss, or to feel a warm hug, :P

  • hugs are over rated lol, now the sex thing hmmm you got me there, better get my groove on before the big transformation hahahahaha!!!

  • next step: recreate artificial muscles

  • It's pretty cool, but I wanna punch it.

  • Well, it's fast. Much faster than a lot of the other robots that use the traditional electric motors.

    It's about time there was some actual progress in mechanics to go along with the progress in computers.

    Fascinating stuff.

  • ROBOCOP!

  • Yeah, give the robot a yard of beer!

  • IS A LIKE THAT THE EVA 00

  • Freaky

  • Where is John Connor when you need him.

  • I think the robot needs breaking force system.

    when robot arm holds, it should not be vibrated.

  • there gonna program robots to take bong hits?

  • well, I for one welcome our new "robots with bones" overlords

  • Quite impressive. Though why would this benefit us?

  • Somebody should give Connor Jr. a call...it's about time...!

  • lets face it education is programming ,nested if's and cases ,if ( ??)case(? ) else if case (?) or end if

  • terminator
