Robot learns to flip pancakes

[MaikBey]

i could watch it all day

[SaturnasG]

If he can learn to flip pancakes, he can learn to throw a pan at you too!!! SKYNET is already here people!

[fun1k]

Lol, it's cute

[alexsaldaa]

mmm veo que lleva un algoritmo de inteligencia artificial, ¿Cual es?

[Lindhe94]

That's one loud fan all right.

[Dragosha007]

Wooooow Cool!!! O_o

[vattenskoterchaffor]

0:38 LOL i am doing just like that when i get home from the pub trying to get something to eat :)

[Daaru23]

Robot: FUCKING PANCAKES

[Littleblockyman]

Whenever Atlas from Portal 2 tries to do this, he totally fails

[charizardguy4086jph]

stupid this is why there will never be a robot uprising

[SupahCola]

Sometimes, when my acute paranoia kicks in and I begin to worry about the eventual robot uprising, I watch the first half of this video to ease my worries.

[bunniedemon]

@SupahCola That should worry you even more. THEY CAN LEARN.

[TanziaLana]

Lol. Atlas was based off of this (part of him was)

[morsmanal]

Ahh, technology these day eh

[seeanson]

finally we have an actual use for technology

[yooshiman]

What are you doing? Stop it! I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i— We-e-e-e are pleased that you made it through the final challenge where we pretended we were going to murder you with pancake mix.

[filmmaker91361]

Yeah robot!

[SiebenDX]

Today, it learns to flip pencakes... Tomorrow, it travels back in time and tries to kill Sarah Connor!

[PoliticalIncorrectly]

After this, asking "will it blend" seems like a stupid question on a whole new level.

[livingsoul12066]

This is hilarious. I love how terrible it is at flipping the pancakes. It might also be a good lesson for kids, on the whole 'don't give up learning something' thing. It took a ROBOT 50 tries to flip a pancake!

[kylodiousthesecond]

I think I'll just flip my own pancakes, thanks though.....We're done here.

[EbonyObsessive]

Strangely adorable.

[thegirlfrommexico]

ATLAS!!! <3

[11ateneo11]

Portal 2

[XerxesBreak292]

Now, we fire the guys who made these robots and build better ones!

[CthulhuianBunny]

I hope future robots won't be this derpy. And wouldn't it be easier to make two arms and have one programed for flipping the pancakes with a spatula? 'Cause a robot won't need to show off with a trick like flipping a pancake they'll be programmed for efficiency.

[MaRiAtheHeDg3hOg]

I seriously just laughed my entire face off. I don't know why. Now that I watch it a second time, I think I may have been overreacting a bit...

[markuz1988]

It reminds me myself sometimes...

[NoPrivacyRights]

First step pancake flipping next step global nuclear holocaust. Skynet here we come.

[jeminni19]

lets strap on some guns to that baby and we will got something here!

[CthulhuianBunny]

@jeminni19 Now you're sounding like a scientist!

[sbeer6er]

lol

[TheHaloN00b117]

Reminds me of the malfuctioning panel arms in Portal 2

[DragonOfWar90]

now the guy that creatid him dont need to wast time to make pancakes

[TheFreakyDeaky101]

This robot probably costed well over $50,000. AND IT ONLY FLIPS PANCAKES WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[yoblackops7]

COO

[brandonasdf]

i started laughing



[DasAntiNaziBroetchen]

Thats a fucking robot hell...

Making pancakes all day long. But never being allowed to taste one....

[nikovan]

The pancake is a lie.

[hellomotto08]

...Im not eating that pancake!!!

[AdventuresOfRory]

/watch?v=8KyIHsixads&feature=c­hannel_video_title Similar to this guy haha

[TheJeankarlitos]

Ese robot no sirve tipo vota eso... kee tall sii las personas tubieran un robot d esos less ubieran botado todas las pancake al zuelo y stubieran komiendo la mugre del piso....

[TheJeankarlitos]

@TheJeankarlitos jajajajaja

[darkwizard2661]

stupid root arm:D

[MrBipeds]

thats.... the worst... robot.... ever.... and also the most useless...

[clearcutter74]

When life gives you pancake mix, don't make pancakes. Make life take the pancake mix back! GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN PANCAKES, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE PANCAKES! I'M GONNA GET MY ENGINEERS TO INVENT A COMBUSTIBLE PANCAKE THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?!

[tzookil]

its seems that the boundery of technology is just in our mind.

robots will learn how to act like real people eventually

[TheSketchK]

0:55 KIDS, DINNER'S READY!!!

[djpliku1]

@TheSketchK

hahaha

[douro20]

I didn't think these robots were powerful enough to do this. How much servo horsepower?

[DevinShaelyc]

Amazing that many of people came here just because of ATLAS hitting himself in the face with a frying pan.......

[luckyleprachaun7]

You did it! You saved breakfast!

[OddWeasel]

Fire the guy who made that robot, and make new robots.

[togruta4]

See? Robots give us six extra seconds of pancakes.

[Gyarretto7]

@togruta4 *thumbs up* good job, robots!

[yuzu833]

pancakes?....did u just say....panCAKES?!!

PAANNNNCAAAAAKES !!! PAAAAAAANNNCAAAAAAKESSSS!!!!!!­!

[shuksnet]

Although it's working with this paperboard pancake, it'll never work with real pancakes with this technique.

[xXLloydMagnusXx]

Looks like robots won't be taking my dead end fast food jerb anytime soon.

[CupcakeExplosion11]

Good job robots.

[tyrzi]

am i only one who thinks this is cute?

[Tigger0jk]

Fingering a woman: Demonstration of the task via kinesthetic teaching. Bringing a woman to orgasm: Successfully learned skill after 50 trials.

[lucio95246]

pancakes flips yea!

[lexichronicle2]

"Even if the same person never fights the robot twice, it may create a super style of fighting."

The goal of robotics should be to make the world a better place, not a gigantic war zone.

Hopefully this futuristic wobot will be so good at learning, it realises that attrition is not the most effective means of gain; a concept humans struggle with.

[lexichronicle2]

0:57 ha ha!

1:03 awwww yeah! we're cookin' now!

[spartan2600]

David Plotz sent me here.

[mm132956]

saw this in my engineering class today. friend laughed so hard he cried

[BobyB64NG]

I understand that this is for science and serious business and all that, but this was hilarious.

[DDofCourage]

Fire the guys who made those robots, and build BETTER robots!

[LemiSt25]

9 people don't know how to bake pancakes.

[2ndLiutenentSgtMajor]

While a learning robot may be cool and possibly useful in the future, it could be the way that some theories say the robots will take over. An example of this is is that if one or more people fight a learning robot, initially the robot may loose, but after a while it will learn the strategies of the people fighting it and use the knowledge of those strategies to win. Even if the same person never fights the robot twice, it may create a super style of fighting. Even so this is a cool arm.

[yelocab01]

@2ndLiutenentSgtMajor Can't you just unplug the robot?

[Corgblam]

why are the top comments exactly the same?

[TheHeadcrabFarmer]

So that arm needed 50 trials to flip a pancake? It learns faster than me!

[carlsm95]

Fail after fail after fail... lol the robot must feel bad

[netcyber]

a robot programmed and designed to flip pancakes...that can't be good for it's self esteem....

[AdAnc1nKiTT3H]

I wonder how much they spent making something designed to flip pancakes...

[SNiPeRAT0R741]

COME ON ROBOT ARM IM HUNGRY FOR PANCAKES!!  D:<

[sayWHAATgabby]

I laughed this whole video.

[activechaos128]

Massive amounts of respect to the men who made this machine. This is remarkable technology * * * * *

[FoolyCoolyMabase]

now teach him doing crepe suzettes

[RuleBreakerDemon]

I was expecting it to start hitting itself with the pan.

[cocojumbo555]

There is something really hilarious about this..the first 50 tries the only thing I could think of is Stupid machine! and also I imagined the pancake falling on the professor that created it's head..

[DecepticonDevastator]

ATLAS's Prototype arm.

[LupusFang]

I was expecting Atlas

[ricksaburai]

If I was cooking a rock-hard pancake, I would also throw it away.

[medicaldoctor369]

@NeonJ82 hahaha! Me too! "Then fire the guy who made those robots."

[LuigisNo1]

I dont have time to wait for 50 tries I need my pancakes now! D:<

[MisterVercetti]

Bam! Robots gave us six extra seconds of cooperation!

Good job, robots.

Cave Johnson, we're done here.

[chefgarno18]

I am so glad your hard earned tax's are going to good use.

[carlsm95]

@chefgarno18 The video might look stupid but these are just baby steps, they're trying to develop a robot that can learn skills rather than having them programmed into it, which could really benefit in the future.

[NeonJ82]

I keep thinking the side of the robot arm base says "Aperture Science"

[xIDUALFREEZEIx]

omfg i laugh soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard at this :D

[cheesycoke]

Fire the guys who made those robots, and build better robots!

[eXAKR]

At least the robot arm didn't smack itself with the pan until it fell from the table...

[ShadowImperials]

TAKE THAT ATLAS

[ozcheezy]

Fire the guys that made that robot, and build better robots. Then run those robots through a regimen of trust exercises, creating a foundation of mutual respect reinforced by the simulated bonds of artificial friendship. Inspiring stuff.

[sismancocuk]

I don't care about the number of trials, they do eventually learn, that's what counts. thanks for the vid. I'm just concerned about the "learning" process. is it just the software itself, or is there any human interference (like some manual tuning required) ? "we desperately need hackers to protect humankind in the future" don't you think? :)

[Velodynamic]

Sounds like a pretty tough pancake to eat *lol*

[russianpeanut]

damn that must be one dirty pancake. i wonder if they used just one for all this research? or they had a slew of many pancakes?

how many pancakes were harmed

[GranaT1337]

@russianpeanut this wasnt a pancake, keep calm and smaruj dżemorem

[Rablazone]

I love how this is suddenly more popular because of Portal 2

[Estragogon]

Poor little fella ;_;

[MrForsakenBacon]

I think we should fire the guys that built these robots, and buld BETTER ONES

[Urmean15]

My god.

They can learn.

[RandomBubbleses]

how is this related to special flips?

[tomfarmery17]

i have a much quicker method, you could spend ages building and perfecting a robot and then teach it to flip pancakes OR flip pancakes yourself...hmmmm

[DoubleX31]

@tomfarmery17 Or use the built technology for other applications...

[MrPaulolefou]

Want this in Portal2

[maccamaster]

why is this so funny?

[bonk2k]

Flipping pancakes is a critical skill needed in building Bot Trust.

[MrStorm1337]

SKYNET SKYNET SKYNET

[MrTydelik]

The problem with machine learning is that before a robot can learn anything, a scientist need to know that skill. Scientist aren't exactly known for the mad motor skillz.

[mattjpalmer]

why is this so funny?

[BeeblesTV]

They will kill us all.

[HumorisLogical]

*Insert Portal 2 Promo Video Reference Here*

[rodrigojager]

@HumorisLogical Indeed

[airbendingavatar1]

The oancakes are a lie!

[swordzzzzz]

FIRE THE GUYS WHO MADE THOSE ROBOTS, and build better robots

[EnzoValenzetti]

seriously, fire the guys who made these robots

[vracerua]

Good thing it finally learned to do it, or else, as Cave Johnson said..

".. and fire the guys who made those robots."

[manel0319]

oh my god...

THEY ARE LEARNING!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

[0BucketMask0]

.........the damn robot learned to flip pancakes faster than I did...

[cuppajoesugar]

So this is the video that Valve was referencing

[flameomega1]

It was so bad. That it needed motion capture.

[wisquatuk]

@flameomega1 Pretty sure they were motion capturing it from the first trial, they just didn't show us until later. They used the motion-tracking fake pancake for all the tests, anyway.

How else is the robot supposed to learn what worked and what didn't? Or refine its strategy via anything other than just randomly trying different things until someone tells it "that worked"?

[ONKC123]

Haha Portal 2 refrenced this, I think

[edfreak9001]

FIRE THESE GUYs... AND BUILD BETTER ROBOTS

[duffthebeerslayer]

see this robot arm can do it but the robots from portol 2 cant do shit

[EddieZaic]

@duffthebeerslayer Robots from Portal 2 can be better than humans... they give 6 extra seconds of cooperation.

[duffthebeerslayer]

@EddieZaic i know right but then again its only 6 seconds

[AEternalDream]

I like how this got a spam of comments because of Portal 2.

I two am one of them.

FIRE THE GUY WHO MADE THOSE ROBOTS

THEN MAKE BETTER ONES

[TonyTheHypnotist]

Quote from Portal 2 video for youtube karma.

[flameomega1]

@TonyTheHypnotist Karma whore in the making :3

SON I AM PROUD-APPOINT.

[AngilasGuy]

SCIENCE!

[airbendingavatar1]

Who else was brought here by Portal 2?

[wisdumcube]

derp

[rvdm88]

Fire the guys who made those robots... then make BETTER ROBOTS!!!

[nxt2345]

Robots can be trusted 6 sec longer than humans.

[elgroxo]

Fire the guys that made those robots.

[PropulsionGel]

Humans cannot be trusted. The solution? Robots!

[mspacapan]

Now you're thinking with pancakes :D

[grendelee]

Bam, there you go. Gives us 6 extra seconds of trust.

[Riox7PepzI]

wnb aperture robot does that better than me xD

[ForestNUT92]

DEMOPAN

[Semen512]

Leaked beta of Portal 2 co-op

[airbendingavatar1]

Aperture Science beats that robot by a long shot. GO APERTURE!

[CCMrJones]

then fire the guys and build better robots

[Takerfan57]

Cave Johnson here...

[WickedMediaz]

How many trials would an average human need?

[pr0kris]

Fire the guys who built those robots and built better robots!

[AjarJunkman]

aperture science pancake robots are better...

[Bighomer5]

I`m here because of the new Portal 2 trailer

thumbs up if you are too ;P

[88976hi]

@Bighomer5 explain please 

[MeCanFlyVeryHigh]

Portal 2 is cool

[lamborghari]

hahaha....make me fart laughing!!!! Fart...Fart...Fart!!!!!

[RckLbstr]

PeeWee Herman's breakfast machine my ass. He should have had one of these!

[REALDualDesertEagle]

When I saw 0:57 - 1:00 the first time i had to LMMFAO

[theexternaldisk]

i would love to have one of those in my kitchen... as long as there's an other one to clean the mess. only have to get used to the taste of plastic pancakes.

[wlorenz65]

I can see no pancake here. Just a piece of plasctic with 4 tracking markers. Nothing in this video justifies the term "learning by imitating". Please stop fooling your audience with just another Richard-Sutton show :(

Well, at least it can improve its skills by practising. But to be honest you should add decent vision which doen't need markers and one-shot goal acquisition by watching a human flipping real pancakes.

[davidstonephoto]

Autobots... FLIP PANCAKES!

[Steamboat12002]

SHUT IT OFF SHUT IT OFF! It's only a matter of time before IT STARTS KILLING

[HylianSpirit]

@DerImperator100 It was learning, not just copying.

[dlucas90]

I knew their was an Atheist somewhere building a robotic wife in his basement! This is just the proof I needed.

[jack1701e]

A robots nightmare, it can make delicious pancakes but cant eat them.

[marquizzo]

@jack1701e Wow, you're very good at making comments. Here, let me try: "A robot's purgatory; being able to make delicious pancakes but not being able to taste them."
