iCub playing with objects

[TheMrBlinx]

He's too hyper for me.

[1emanres]

That's so cute looking posed like that it's got to be faked. No computer is sophisticated enough to hold its hand up in readiness like that as if watching the balls so he can grab them if they move away. Sluggish but cute.

[srnefta]

personified Skynet 

[ironpawes]

icub... the future in door to door exterminations.

[ZzLaWw]

its trying so hard and juyst carnt do ity lol ... it will soon learn a new move.. Facepalm

[EE9EER]

WELL .we can now add another apocalypse to the list right after after... the nuclear bomb, nature, starvation, and politics/religion .... whos got the odds? i'll take 6:4 on the nbomb

[burneeingcore]

this guy is famous i seen him in daft punk music

[mogs2006ok]

0:34 Epic Fail!

[geeklette99]

this is amazing!

[arslankiller61]

can run it crysis ?

[mallon44]

get the hint he doesn't want the blue ball

[cdjock42]

is anyone else really creeped out by this shit?

[Mangaarmstrong1]

The uncanny valley is creeping upon us all...

[IcarusTouma]

All hail our new lord the iCub!

[63Kings]

I give you a robot on pcp.

[DevilKnowing]

It's not learning shit. It's just playing with its balls.

[comptoncrue]

what is ball? why am i playing it?

what's the meaning of life? arpeggio

[irishpanda2000]

crapping my pants some more...

[sereneyoshiko]

why am I playing with balls?

[Sekkou527]

But will it blend?

[0Ryuxxx]

this guy will soon kill us all

[pedro6199782]

@0Ryuxxx ull get kill by some shity things like that not me ...

XD

[slimharri2000]

the kind of robot that you wanna brake...(no offince but nao is better) ( u need a better face!!!, it looks like hes gonna kill u)

[shebotnov]

oohh so thats so evil robots look like when they are young! Just wait till he grows up!

[Valsam75]

Ι wish my generation could live enough to see and enjoy the next generation's androids and high tech state of the art , A.I technology

[vovo4kaX]

Why he is not using 2nd hand?

[OrvelZ]

It's gonna kill us all! KILL IT!

[macintosh39]

ITS A MAC ICUB

[phendformyself]

JESUS CHRIST!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

[TheAwkwordPair]

@phendformyself now why is it that when ever i see a video with a really cool invention, someone always has to put "KILL IT WITH FIRE" in the comments.

[phendformyself]

@TheAwkwordPair Why? Because you touch yourself at night and God hates you for it. That's why.

[TheAwkwordPair]

@phendformyself your argument is invalid.

[phendformyself]

@TheAwkwordPair What a coincidence! Just like your replies! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) lol

[TheAwkwordPair]

@phendformyself Y U NO COME UP WITH AN ANSWER THAT ACTUALLY REFERS TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION?

[phendformyself]

@TheAwkwordPair Uh-oh! You typed in all caps! U mad bro?

[Coyot0xx0]

Will they also reproduce themselves in 15 years? Metal based artificial cells are on the way in labs as I know. It's almost frightening how advanced we are in silently teeming corners of the World. It seems natural and insignificant to look at this video. There are hundreds of projects out there, but saying in words what this research achieved so far is more than astonishing. ASIMO is an advanced machine, but this is a simulated organism. Almost unbelievable.

[neptali54]

And In Japan they are making sexy robot ladies...

[coolbugy]

Anyone else think they put a baby's brain into this robot?

[PeRaN98]

at the start he says 'i told you to make me a sandwich!!'

[EZtrollin]

the movements are really smooth

[sarahbpen]

Am I the only one who finds the iCub utterly adorable?

[daitheflubg]

@sarahbpen no :)

[bloodhive]

piece of junk

[takazak]

0:36 fail

[brcojo]

When will it become happy because it looks P***** of!

[Pettingson]

I think he's gonna learn how to be a lefthanded robot xD

[SpontaneousTurtles]

It's advancing too quickly!!! I know how this will end!

[repalmore]

Interaction with the balls appears to limited to the arms and hands. There is no head or vision tracking that I can see. One of the human child developments is to track moving objects. I'm guessing that hasn't been programed into the learning algorithm. Good luck with it.

[Anon7771]

Wow,nobody mentioned that this robot looks similar to the ones in I,Robot?

[RandomDirectors]

@Anon7771 this is Sonny when he was a baby :P

[101moto1]

isnt there a desese that does this for us

[SimplyBecauseItsMe]

the sheer concentration on his face XD

[RoyalPurple1337]

When this came out all the pedophiles sang out in joy.

[ProblemForSolution]

The whole time I was like "pick up the damn ball already!!"

[drgoodH3rb]

at the end, is not the robot that learns, its their makers

[BlueLuvzSnipin]

OH NO! IT BECAME SELF-AWARE! DX

[MrDinners123]

dear santa.....

[DrunkCowboyPS3]

ok is this just me or is anyone else getting the feeling to hit this thing.

[GeorgeMcGuinty]

FREAK

[TheBigdog69er]

are they mking it move or has it learned this

[Theonegamefreak]

Derp.

[LifeEnderX]

Technologic.

[vzooper]

@LifeEnderX oh hel yea, daft punk refrence!

[PirateMcSandwich]

this cracked me up

[xXTheDarkLemonXx]

this is amazing! this is why i love robots, its just awesome!

[MrDonline]

Amazing.. this robot is analyzing physics!!! I cant wait for you people too teach it problem solving, technically should be able too after it's scanned the world ^_^

[doceigen]

'Chucky' needs a knife.

[blahdi6]

it likes blue

[withyomommma]

terminator as a chilld o_O

[Jonatanardensten]

@MrHair48 ASIMO is programmed though, by humans. This guy is learning by himself.

[akoer324]

@Jonatanardensten woghhh...this real???its learning by itself???

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

@Jonatanardensten the way to achieve sentience is when they learn by themselves.

[DoronzoRosy]

of course I was being sarcastic.....

:S

[DoronzoRosy]

nice comments... esp the one regarding human retarded. Very disrespectful....

You probably have no idea of what embodied cognition is.

[intactGB]

I like how the American non-japanese robots r not so perverted

[hollycat13]

I went to Aber on an open day and I saw this thing. It's freaky O_O

[chikito123j]

Try with a grenade...

[mastrofpuppets26]

i.......i dont know what to do with my hands

[IZrocks1000]

It just has this "wtf is this crap" pose the whole time.

[kelaltieri]

@IZrocks1000 it's the hands.

[Blazinnig]

@IZrocks1000 actually made me lol

[Gasmaskfilms100]

That's why I have a gun

[LuciferLBelial]

He will develop to be left handed

[frr1990]

awww poor thing can't grab the ball. Give him some grippy fingers!

[Chrischn89]

@frr1990 see you start giving that piece of metal and plastic emotional values such as "poor" this will be the END OF ALL OF US!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O

watch?v=jxdI6Qqkg1s

omg I just realized Trunks was talking about Androids too! OMG

[Shinjeez]

@Chrischn89 Remember that you are also just a piece of meat, water, carbon and elettrochemycal reactions. And no, it won't be "the end of all of us", leave that to movies thanks.

[Chrischn89]

@Shinjeez Humans taking obvious jokes too serious - since 200.000 BC.

Don´t be trolled... have a KitKat!

[Shinjeez]

@Chrischn89 The Troll species is an old one :)

[edstar83]

Reading through these comments, so many people take things for granted these days.

[EvilGamerJ]

When it learns how to grasp large objects, please dont give it a gun -_-

[lykenth08]

Does any one else notice that Icub is left handed?

[harisheiz]

@lykenth08 I did

[Draeka]

Now just needs to be taught how to pull a trigger.

[WhindSoull]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I looked like when I played with objects as a child. :\

[orckiller91]

wait so its acttivly learning?

[thesebflynn]

@orckiller91 yeh awsome isnt it

[BaxterFox]

anyone else noticed that only his left arm moves?

[meldrey]

@BaxterFox that's because the right hand has missiles in it. the left hand only has lasers (red and green).

[sonicrockz1011]

Am i weird for finding this thing adorable? X33

[kittycat101010]

reminds me of an immortal robot version of chucky with the red light as a smile o--o

[fcycles]

improvement to implement : object tracking in the learning scheme.

[SpectreS17]

0:36 - "Damn I missed again"

[oldmanjenkins44]

He cant grasp the big one, so he'll hit it instead, and watch it roll

interesting....

[TITAN3084]

he looks real concentrated

[Zer0Matt67]

Stupidity Downloaded 

[kruglin]

He look, chuckie.

[matZero]

what is the program trying to "do" ? what does the program says the iCub to "do"? is it free in it's will to do random stuff to the object or is it drilled, therefore forced to interact with the objects?

[RealRacer69]

@matZero really good question actually

[Madmonkeythegreat]

He's like what the hell am I 'spose to do with these?

[osirus5891]

Very cool. Not very coordinated but still very cool.

[WhatIfShow]

i wonder what its thinking when it pauses for a long time

[Juefawn]

A young botstien at work. Hahah first person to think that probably.

[durkma2]

Damn lefties, think they're so special

[mikcheka]

Stephen Spielberg's A.I. is coming to life....but i think japan is a couple of years ahead of this group.

[79expand]

piece of shit.

It does look kind of cool, but its totally useless.

it is.... a piece of shit.

Come on smart people , make something good.

I want a pet robot in the next 10 years please.

get back to work.

Thats the problem when nerds taking control of a project. they waste too much time building stupid things.

p.s.

cool robot

[apjel389]

cool, they made a retarded human child robot

[machinmanidol2]

@apjel389 lol ^^ we have to start with somethng right ^^ lmao

[Lukaz1989]

@apjel389 now it might be retared but in 40 years its gonna change your dirty diapers

[NekoGothIGirl101]

@apjel389 its supposed to be a todler....

[invernizzus]

@apjel389 lol

[ECST4C]

@apjel389 lold

[jobvindex]

@apjel389 Ha ha, "retarded" and "child" are the same.

[3166candy]

@apjel389

It's not retarted it's just a robot to see how children learn and do this kind of stuff you jerk! you should appreciate technology! >:(

[maxdasniper]

@3166candy just face it, its retarded

[Deathbringer99699]

@apjel389 this are small steps to our extermination..

now they move slowly and are in fact "retarded" .. but when the developement is finished on this fuck..

were gonna be doomed!!

[thenub641]

Robot Overlord meets Daft Punk Technologic :P

This is some really cool stuff. I'm curious to know however, when iCub (is this an Apple robot haha?) learns something, is it stored so that it can use the knowledge later on, and therefore grow, or is it all just in "one ear and out the other"?

[kokopelli314]

where can i find out what precisely it doing?

[suchiman123]

with the red light in his face he looks scary

[netninja90]

This is beautiful.
