NAO Robot Demonstration After The Earthquake

[Makidavid]

In hte year 2011 people love robots.

I don't know ANYTHING about robots, but I can imagine the work done to make the movements because of the balance needed for them not to fall all the time.

I love to see the videos and I am enjoying to follow the evolution. Nice work!!! Job well done to everyone!!!!!

I think the full body tracking is cool as it shows that NAO has COM based Inverse kineamatics. The walking step length should be increased though. Would be great if they made it walk towards the red ball with visual servoing, bonus points if they make it walk on a sloped floor. Would be hard on a onboard pc though. Perhaps it would help if they implemented some of the computationally intensive tasks on a FPGA.

@ElysiumLabs They use a 1.6GHz atom processor, I don't think an FPGA would be well suited as most of the operations would be unique but perhaps with a lot of analysis you could find a few but then why not store and recall them?

Pfft. The Nao is practically old news. So what if it could learn a new language and a new dance? It's movement is still as slow and limited as ever, and it looks no less creepy than its english-speaking bastard brothers. Give us a bot that can actually run faster than a Robo-One fighter, give us a robot that can make soup, or give us something that at the very least LOOKS different, not the same shit OVER-AND-OVER.

@AgaiLazen what bot would you recommend?

[AgaiLazen]

@roidroid The HRP series, except for HRP-4C, that thing is just UGLY. The other HRP robots are pretty cool, though. Not only do they have smooth and fast motion, but they have an aesthetic that aims for a cool-looking Gundam/Brave-ish appearance, both of which are completely beyond what the Nao or its developers are capable of.

[roidroid]

@AgaiLazen but they are full human sized robots. Can't they make them smaller?

[AgaiLazen]

@roidroid Oh, hell yeah. In fact the smaller ones, due to reduced size and therefore weight, perform much better than the full-sized equivalents. They could break a Nao's limbs in a Robo-One fight. If you don't believe me, there's a video of it on tempusmaster's channel, which includes an explanation on the high-performance.

[roidroid]

@AgaiLazen i can't find the video sorry. We are talking about a small robot yes?

Can you give me a /watch? link to the video?

[mentalmetal1]

@AgaiLazen typical american dick. you belittle and criticise to give yourself the impression that you know something. you have no clue the complexity of design required for those movements. keep to your robosapien moron.

[AgaiLazen]

@mentalmetal1 I'm sensing an unnecessarily-angry troll comment. It did not come from me, and I will say no more.
