ASIMO avoids moving obstacles

[SD181818]

god i would be pissed if that guy kept moving that blue blot, fer f*** sake i wanna land on it stupid idiot stop annoying me, and leave it alone, still very cool though asimo gonna grow up and beat that guy for that incident of dot moving in the future

[Grimrepper720]

every time he moves the dot and blocks her path i keep thinking that shes gonna slap him across the face and say STOP IT!!! XD but than i remember it cant think for its self. XD

[TheJediCharles]

It has a backpack to hold it's poop. As you can tell by it's walk, it always needs to go.

[stevestorey7]

I still reckon R2D2 would do him in, hes got a lazer!

[shanetzen]

If Asimo were really intelligent, he'd be PISSED OFF that the dude keeps moving the dot.

[PetChickenz]

@shanetzen lol

[ilovegracieboo]

he is soooo cute!! this is the only robot im not scared of !! lol

[ohthenoises1]

This statement is false!

New mission: do not accept this mission

Does a list of everything contain itself?

...damn... the paradoxes aren't working!

[Agindacake]

What happens if you merge obstacle and target, can he cope with that?

[A7XRaydog247]

Hey Asimo, what happens if you divide by 0? - Humans still win

[davidakb]

Den ville jeg ha her hjemme B-)

[mikemurko]

Question: It seems Asimo can only navigate in "problem solving" scenarios where it knows all the information at any given time. I arrive at this because it appears the top-down view shown in the video is actually what the robot is using to plan its movements. Is this correct? I wonder how far Asimo is from being able to solely use vision detection and cope with limited knowledge of surroundings.

[plasticpals1]

@mikemurko Yep. But like RoboCup soccer, it is a good first step towards solving these kind of problems. Robots are able to build similar maps using just their stereoscopic vision.

[chrissomerry]

@mikemurko Seems to be the same as how people are - terrible at doing stuff unless we know how ;) Clearly Asimo's not there yet, but from what I can see, he seems to be at a primitive level of human-inspired intelligence, possibly at the level of a baby maybe?

[PetChickenz]

@chrissomerry i certainly give asimo the benefit of the doubt, it's incredibly advanced, this was sci-fi 20 years ago

[chrissomerry]

@mikemurko Ah, now I see what you are talking about after watching (silly me!). It seems like what they are demoing is a "planner" module to instruct asimo how to make plans - so it doesn't seem to be 100% implemented, but can be compared to me having half my brain hanging out of my head connected by a cord I guess haha.

[Veloxization]

Put that blue circle in the middle of large, pink square... How is that solved? :)

[pusshair]

@Veloxization

Unfortunately it can't say F U to the giver of an unsolvable problem :) (or can it?)

[nolangley]

Dear Santa....

[saceboy]

Eric Cartman!!!!!!

[elvismen]

Push him, let me see if can do what Boston Dynamic Petman can!

[nyehnyi]

why do he walking just like holding a shit in the ass

[shebotnov]

@nyehnyi coz he is a fraking robot. But dont worry, in 30+ years robots will literally kick your ass. Hard

[nyehnyi]

@shebotnov cant wait that.lol

[ElizaaOzx]

OOOOO A BLUEEE DOT!!! (chases it) hey, why you moving it!!!!??? oh well, ill catch it agai.. OMFG YOU DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!

[Shadokin123]

If you can give a machine senses and a brain to think about those sense of what it saw, heard, etc. then you can possibly make a "soul", it can possibly become into living life. This is just a guess but there is alot to learn i am just informing you we might need robot's rights i don't really know but possibly you can make living life just as we have been created,

[eddyhist]

someday be developed into the most effective killing machines without feelings and emotions, extraordinary GREAT!!

[ShY1CAS]

now wutt

[gordon5cc]

Teach it to jump.

[dudukakapopo1]

hes lucky enough that asimo has no emotion, or he wouldve got his ass whooped

[PaoloLegnetti]

This robot could make a great tool in war making, well done.

[PanzarMetal]

I say robots should learn everything by them selfs or teach them and NOT spend years programming it into them.

Everything is easy if you divide it into smaller problems.

[robocu4]

Obviously all you idiots don't know about Asimo's artificial intelligence. :3

[azn0018]

I can do that.

[TheTyTyXD]

i'm pretty sure my ipod can do this

[CraggleMcHamer]

every time he steps on on a pink phape - he feels pain :(

[tonynation2]

@ligator23 no stupid, do yuh kno WTF asimo iss?!

[Pinkergloop]

Easy. Just program it to avoid certain colors!

[FuzzyTwiguh]

Eric Cartman is hiding in the robot, don't be fooled.

[joshpick18]

@FuzzyTwiguh After I saw this, I was convinced that this is where they got the "Awesom-O" idea from. lol.

[FuzzyTwiguh]

@joshpick18 Hehe, agreed! I laugh every time they say his name. XD

[freidenki]

unbelievable and freightening, ...end of mankind as we know it?

[Akiba182]

Just waiting for the robot to get pissed "Stop fucking moving that" then kill the guy

[Kujamon]

he dodges those rotating objects better than your average person in a heroic deadmines c:

[ShaunDreclin]

@Kujamon pfffhahah I love you

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

The first ASIMO was 1986. The robot in this clip is the result of over 25 years work; its best achievement is stepping over pieces of paper on the ground. At this rate, a robot that can perform day to day human tasks is many generations away.

[ixcaliber]

If we keep making these intelligent robots, we are kind of fucked for jobs. Everyone will be unemployed except the owners of the company who will be making trillions

[SolidSnake032486]

@ixcaliber Or maybe just less janitors and more "custodian robot technicians."

[alexgrinkov]

now give him guns

[crapfig]

Asimo walks like he is robo trippin

[lowrider5215]

wow hahaha asimo is like stop moving the fucking pieces

[marcelschoen]

He got through the 3 blades like Indiana Jones.. or maybe not...

[HaniiPuppy]

@marcelschoen Indiana jones when he's high on pot.

[bfyobrian]

dont piss off the robot were giving artificial intelligence. moving that blue circle make's him mad. hell release skynet and coffe makers and blenders will start to wreak havoc on the dipwads who pissed off every robot . like if u ever told ur GPS,

man: "screw u, im goin this direction"

GPS"(bing) recalculating

man:"YEAH U BETTER RECALCULATE!!"

So if u dont want Asimo coming after u at 3 mph, trying to kick a soccerball at u, or spill all that hot coffee on u, dont screw with ASIMO!!!

[Alodybawb]

Skynet is pleased

[rough1neck2chicken3]

when we walks it looks like he has to pee

[ashleyguffey81]

Damn i would get mad if i was that robot

[AZURA888]

3:38 just throw a punch to that bastard Asimo!!!, you got it near. Eliminate the obstacle!!!.

However, over 2040 sure will be the robots who will move us the blue circle.

[AZURA888]

Is to avoid asimo put a foot over dog shit.

[freefrageris]

awesome robots appear!!! oh shit humans disapier....

[kjordon1]

The Japanese need to teach Asimo and other robots like him how to fly helicopters to fetch water for the nuclear reactors. Robots would be great since no human would have to get close to the reactors and suffer lethal doses of radiation.

[vincentweb]

@kjordon1 someday japanese will make it.

[H1u1Go]

@kjordon1 I like the idea, but you won't need a complicated robot such as azimo to control helicopters

Hitler had invented unmaned miniplanes (flying bombs, which could fly a distance for over the 150 kilometers, all thanks to the gyroscope. all we need now is a GPS, Gyroscope and two destinations (reactor and water supply), then it could already do it's job.

[tarikay93]

This is great technology.

[BryceSheedy]

500th like

[ihatepat66]

excellent video

[opaa1]

that robot isn't very smart.. he could just have walked around all that shit.

ps. notice I said "he", not "it" or "she". thumbs up if it didn't bother you ;)

[johnnyfarnham]

@opaa1 It didn't bother me....It is a robot lol

[alexgrinkov]

@opaa1

the could just say "screw you guys, i'm going home"

not very smart indeed.

[blazerx900]

@opaa1 it doesn't think for itself D: hes programmed to avoid them and he doesn't kno how to walk around

[Bbionicjive]

@opaa1 thumbwhore GTFO

[ZMaxelZ]

@opaa1 its smarter than u, why walk a longer path?????? moron

[TehJokerable]

@opaa1 The robot wasn't looking for the easy way, its incredibly smart. Its goal was to get through the obstacles while wasting the least amount of energy and time, making it smarter than most humans o_o"

[legofan725]

@eyesonfire713 like the robots from irobot

[MrLemonyFresh]

best robot ever

[RecAlpam]

Thats one f**d up intro.

Nice robot though

[00ShowYouHow00]

i wonder what asimo will do if his blue stuff is behind a 10 meter long and 10 meter wide red strip. in the vid , he had always a solution

[horsey983]

AT END: SEXY DANCE PARTY!!!!!

[MatthewFalcon73]

hahaha he looks like hes wearing a jetpack

[NARCOLEPTICpediphile]

waR ROBOTS!!

[god0fgod]

What happens if the blue thing is on the red paper?

[buckod]

with all this great research they still can't perfect the art of normalizing their video before they upload it.

[naveedtaji]

Amazing robot intelligence... What the hell Honda has invented... Wonderful... ASIMO is great invention... Love it...

[BrandNewSongz]

Why not send this robot on Mars or on The Moon?... better use that stuff to explore Universe and find new sources of Energy...I already see their evil plans coming =/...The worst part is somewhere we all know that Humans will fall to the machine, it's predictable, i just have to see the daily news to realise how Human Loves making WAR...pshhh, st00pid Humans !

[SomeoneNamedTom]

how much is asimo going to cost when he comes out?

[Casawatchful]

Wow,technology is amazing.I hear alotmof people thinking that robots will take over the world but there is a way to avoid it.Being nice to them!Like u dont tell them "YOU CLEAN THE FUCKING FLOOR NOW!"You say "Hey ASIMO can you please clen the floor for me?" or "Can you please make me some tea/coffee?"Then they will think that we arent absing them and wont rebel.Easy as that.

[MW2Stevo]

awesome-o-2000

lol

cartman

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

1:11 If robots turn agianst us, it will be for 2 causes A) we keep moving their darn blue circle, or B) hollywood makes yet another terminator-esque movie stereotyping them as soulless automotons.

[APR1125]

How long does the battery last? And what will it do if it is getting low on a charge?

[myusernameisluc]

@APR1125

If it is getting low on carge, it will self-destruct by detonating it's nuclear power cell.

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@APR1125 It can probably plug itself in.

[TheDegree777]

next they will invent the terminator robot then will all be in big trouble?

[lonewolf14747]

this is gonna end up like the movie termnator were we fight for our lives. -_-

[MultiBrados]

Wipeout pure intro 2:12 xD

[myusernameisluc]

@MultiBrados

Adequate...

[CustomCloneDB]

0:20-FROGGER!!!

[darkzerosuit]

i like that!!

[DougDingeldein]

Awesome!

[CPTNTProductions]

Becareful, That might be cartmen ;o

[stabilini]

well we have inverted millons for a robot who can play Frogger

[john1966elliott]

What about real walls and round doors, slidling doors, maze ?

[R3dBleeder]

...and that is why the robots eventually rose up and overthrew their diabolical fleshy overlords, because the douchebags just wouldn't stop fucking with them.

[AlnCdnr509]

Asimo is a fucking ninja!

[nameofthepen]

And the ultimate anti-civilian use will be...?

[tooleh]

But could he avoid a SHARK?

[Lewiswillcox1995]

Awesome-O.

[youbaboon]

reminds me of packman algorithm build in 80s :)

[nihilist809]

lies there is just a little kid in there.

[AmFilms123]

One day Asimo will jus get pissed off & punch the guy for movin his circle. Lolz.

[Skyeripper]

I love how he picks up one foot first before he starts walking.  Almost as if he says "alright, lets get this shit going!"

[madcowga]

oh I get it the robot is Obama and the guy moving the blue dot is John Boehner

[derekstech]

Lets send that dude to mars?

[fjl2x2]

Humans, the only species actively working to make themselves obsolete.

[MyDominic22]

I hope someday they put that technology into a car , theres allot of people who need it !

[Sikiric123]

he kepps on fukin moving the square!! just let him hav it!

[ArmyGuy543]

The intelligence and size of ASIMO, as I see it, will be continually updated until he can become a household assistant and do simple and annoying tasks.

If they begin to rebel, the global governments will probably have a fail-safe to shut them all down. If not, it'll still be possible to manually turn them off.

The chance of them taking over the world is little-to-completely nonexistent.

[mypetridish]

@ArmyGuy543 bro, tell that to will smith. he'll disagree

[Juefawn]

Its spatially aware.

[luo7an]

ASIMO is so cute!! he resembles a little kid.

[105Rupert]

@luo7an Yay, someone agrees with me!!!!



[luo7an]

@105Rupert high five!

[M1105X]

Is it a bad thing that I want to give Asimo a hug?

[AgileCheetah]

future: this asimo is flying around with laser gun and killing shit when his smart brother plans and hacks to military forces and makes tanks move... FUCK WERE SCREWED

[DONTdoSMACK]

@AgileCheetah Won't happen because the people creating it know it's possible. So that will never happen.

[thecarpy]

Come on, teach Asimo how defend himself, let him throw a punch a that bastard who keeps moving the blue circle.

[vincentweb]

@thecarpy thts hilarious

[guitarussia]

@thecarpy no ... no please don't. It's also a bad idea to have it ejaculate little processors on a motherboard and give it reproductive capabilities.... especially if it can fight

[cgregerson]

3:31 asimo looked like he was about to do a flying jump kick!

[ParodicRelief]

He must be very pissed deep inside his heart. Oh wait....

[ptdnet]

They cut the video right before Asimo blows the guy away with his twin 50 cal's.

[DVDV28]

Surround him in pink!

[shmackahippie]

I thought Asimo was about to punch that guy in the junk at the last scene. Serves him right.

[TheWindowsHack]

the next tomb raider

[LiaLoveMelody7]

"move that circle one more time and I'l kill you"

[spugintrntl]

...what's with the Wipeout Pure music?

[mnkstrxx]

i bet they install GPS.. like we hang out at someplace then ask Asimo, where is mcdolnd he will find where is..... like point west then we walking for it!

[TheMrRickyman]

AL robot le va a dar la caga y le va a pegar una pata en el hocico al pobre wn!!! xD

[LaiC92]

Damn. I was expecting ASIMO to be jumping over poles, rolling underneath lasers, ducking from falling objects.

But, I must say that this is still friggencool.

[B4dConn3ction]

we feel sorry for him therfore we preseave him as another living organism, now give him the god damn blue dot! xD

[poopskinTheLiar]

I seriously can't wait until technology from ASIMO gets worked into consumer robots. I may miss practical space travel, but i'll be damned if we don't have Artificial Intelligence before i turn 60.

[sdeevooo]

@poopskinTheLiar

AI already exists......

[poopskinTheLiar]

@sdeevooo To a extent -- what i meant was A.I. with intelligence on par with that of a human.

[ryanjamie97]

i wish asimo was already in stores i would buy one and let hem get drink when i want :)

[Luffy2062]

2:51 ASIMO: nope, can't go that way, paper just flew in my way. F#^$ing paper

[KonVeger]

If robots were given thought, they would repel against us, so we are good as we are.

[JustCommonMan]

I love you asimo. You are almost as intelligent as me.

[intelsilver]

@JustCommonMan that's....low

[draggon2100]

poor asimo

[KeeraJordan]

I wonder what would have happened if they enclosed him in a circle with all the obstacles.

Anyway, brilliant! :-)

[WhiteDragon103]

AWESOME-O

[Peatodadisal]

That honda robot is going to be pissed as hell at the guy moving his blue waffle all the time ha

[rennises06]

@Peatodadisal thats exactly what i was thinking to

[featheredmusic]

Future space travelers

[cutiecookie23]

when i read avoid..i thoght the robot would just flip the guy off and walk away......hahaha =D

[Tompson957]

Would have been great if someone programed it that day to say: "Hey fucker! Quit being a pest! Stop moving that shit!" without that dude's knowledge.

[LovelyYTRocks]

A robot could probably walk through quick spinning metal blades than a human can.

[mylvl200wizardpwnsjk]

sweet, now i can play hot lava monsters with this thing

[hvguy]

very cool, and very smart... wonder what the stats are for the robot's on board computer...

[imbarisaxy]

how the fuck do you build something like this

[rajithaify]

@imbarisaxy Crazy japs

[wilosaur]

Will he explode if you trap him?

[michael25xx]

Asimo will be released in 2020 and will cost $ 50,000

[chunkybongo]

these things will be 100 times more skilled than we are at moving around in just a few years - scary. They'll be able to skip and hop around multiple moving objects, with different changing velocities, in the blink of an eye. OMG, I just know it

[shutitupproductions]

@EmanBloe that wat I was Gunna say lol or cross a hallway with swinging blades

[killiansheehan]

isnt this the guy who fell down a stairs?

[Zeldakitteh]

@killiansheehan You have probably fallen down stairs at least once yourself too.

[EmanBloe]

I'd like to see Asimo crossing a highway. xD

[MoviPro]

@EmanBloe id like to see any PERSON cross a highway! :P

[no1kiyoko]

I heard it from a staff of defense ministry that Japan is going to found a robot corps 20 years later.

[pwnafire]

@no1kiyoko They need a robot army, seeing as they have a small and shrinking population.

[frederiksd]

its increadible we can create not living not self thinking beings that can move around obstacels even if they are moving an while its doing that get you a cup of coffe

[MrAmerica99997]

technology.......

[EmperorOfMars]

colored squares now, skulls of dead humans later...

[tobias7777777]

@EmperorOfMars that will never happen. You watched too many bad films...

[Heinuudel]

@EmperorOfMars lol it's not a terminator !

[mapflu]

Wow. Much more interactive. A very great achievement. Lacks much agility though.

[MikkelBrun]

A* :(
