ECCEROBOT - Embodied Cognition in a Compliantly Engineered Robot

[mrh112]

"WHY DO I EXIST!"

[JASONANDTRACI]

O LOOK ITS the TERMINATOR To KILL OFF MANKIND FOR THE ELITE, WHO DON'T NEED US USELESS EATERS NO MORE. Wake up people research Eugenics and Trans-humanism, the elite want a world population reduction of over 90%, no joke!

[voron27]

that robot looks weird!..

[TheOriginalEntz]

No this is not at all copying how humans work inside. We are a living organism made up of trillions of living cell,s bacteria, virii, etc.

Humans are constantly breaking down and fixing themselves. This is the nature of a human ... not "bones and ligaments" .. those are the natures of a CORPSE of ANY animal.

[11matt555]

@TheOriginalEntz Calm down. They just meant they are copying how the muscles pull bones and how the joints move in a human.

[SoftwareTheft]

@TheOriginalEntz Nobody is saying it's a copy of human being, outside of the poorly worded description of the video. It's using anthropomimetic design principles, and is obviously a baby step along the road to a true robot.

[RobertVollrath]

Very well done. Wonderful design.

[HermannRattenhuber]

@RobertVollrath

They should at least have added a second eye, in order to let it look more human-like.

[alltidelva]

@HermannRattenhuber I think what you are proposing is sound but there is a second up-side to adding a second eye ie the ability to distinguish depth and space rather than just two-dimensional sight.

[flashkillerffff]

but that's giving up the advantages of a machine while keeping the disadvantages

[ronnocish]

there you are..

i just arrived from my journy through time to this primitiv and underdeveloped century with all this slobbering human beeings which think they know shit but doesnt even know what a WASD-XYZ 950 is, HERE i am coming for you robot !! the point where everything begun.

[Wittmann73]

as long as I can kick his ass, I dont respect the robot

[amando96]

"can easily grasp, and handle objects" so lets give him a shisha!

[aritark]

reminds me of geth in mass effect, cool

[bune88]

creepy... is like some kind skinless dude.

[2006ZAHIR]

@bune88 Ha...just what I was thinking.

[dillxdough]

ive had this idea for so long -_-

[leethax0r]

early generation cylons?! ZOMG

[frendoon12]

doy lo que se necesite economicamente a quien tenga ideas u planos de un persocon buscen en la serie chobits

es anime

[3e45622]

It is wonderful to make the bone of the robot.

[gukonni]

The jerky movements are a result of a deficiency in the control mechanism. The video mentions this. The muscles all have to fire at a particular time and they must follow a particular energy curve for smooth movement. Duplicating the physical characteristics of the body is not enough. You must also duplicate the mind in some way or this artificial body will not meet our standards for movement and behaviour.

[Baxxter101]

well said. Although it seems to us that computational power is already far beyond that of the human brain, it is not... Software and hardware have a loooong way to come before machines will be able to mimic our graceful biological movements.

[VIRUSMOCA2]

wtf? terminator became real

[Ovidius777]

The T-800 is made purely out of metal on the inside

This is even better lol

[quietthomas]

I like the approach - but sell me on the approach, as "because it will look like us" is just not good enough... how about we say we're following a known evolution, rather than re-inventing the wheel.

[Baxxter101]

uhhh, this would be following a known evolution... all mammals, and virtually every other non-plant-like creature uses these systems. This approach MIMICS what has worked in nature for millions of years rather than being arrogant and assuming human beings have invented something superior to what nature has given us.

[Strassenflirt]

@Baxxter101 Nature has no plan and has not "given" us anything. Nature is no entity. Many evolutionary designs are very suboptimal, because they are not designed. The human eye is a very good example for this.

Well planned and designed things will some day be better than what evolution managed to create in millions of years and gazillions of small steps without any planning.

[Baxxter101]

@Strassenflirt True, however I would argue that truly well designed systems also evolve through small steps and rely heavily trial an error. The only difference is humans can observe what works well and what doesn't when creating a system and apply that to future versions. So you're right in a way. But our approach and ability to design efficient systems still has a looooong way to go before it is 'better' than the 'suboptimal' results of evolution.

[Baxxter101]

@Strassenflirt my point was intended to be that we still have a lot to learn from the world around us. Did not mean to imply nature has some sort of "plan" or is an entity or that everything in nature is well designed... But there are still many lessons and applications that can be derived from observing how natural systems function. We've come this far technologically by observing how natural laws work and then applying them in new ways. My point is that it is wise to look even deeper.

[krisercolano]

put this money to good use

[jakeinoblivion666]

haha its like terminator but really primitive....i lol'd wen he had a t-shirt on. this could actually turn into what we see on the television

[ldeguzman]

this is scary.

[piecewise66]

SO its a robot made out of screwdriver motors, plastic and string? It still seems just as jerky and unreal as everything else. Besides, why are we even still laboring under this whole "anthropomorphic" machine idea? Why make machines look and act human? The human body as thousands of flaws, why not fix them?

[ncxncxncx]

you can much faster replicate artificial devices and make them affordable for everybody.

[killer2611]

are u kidding me? the human body is very very complex and profected by millions of years of evoltion through trial and error

why do u think its so god damn hard to make something look or act like a human even with our modern tech.

so there isn't any possible way that we will make something more complex or better then a human.

even just the human eye is hundreds of times more complex then anything we are able to make today.

[goldragon988]

Billions.

[cuteshadowKIA]

evolution of trail and error. I also Think so :)

Trail: Third Leg -> falls over his own feet, Error -> Two Legs :D

[piecewise66]

Perfected? Hardly.

The thing here is that you seem to think that more complex means better, when it doesn't. A human arm, for example, is a massively complex combination of cells all working together to do something, like lift a weight.

However, a machine can do the same thing with a handful of parts, plus it can do it faster, lift more and be more precise about how it does everything.

[killer2611]

ya, a whole machine build for ONE task... well ovb it would be better then one human arm.

but no machine can do everything that we can, only single tasks when we can do pretty much anything.

[Ovidius777]

What you see in this video is the result of only very few years od research in robotics. We are merely assisting to the birth of robotics so obviously we cannot achieve human like performance. But remember that science evolves at incredible speeds so it's only a question of a few decades before we create robots indistinguishable from our selves.

R. Daneel Olivaw will become real one day, count on it

[goldragon988]

Does anyone here even have any evidence that a self-aware computer is possible?

[egetunks]

assholes, they only do stuff they're programmed for, they can't do something they do not know, programmers know that very good.

[Apjooz]

What is a brain, if not an advanced processor? Humans have free will of some sort, but only within the boundaries of what they are "programmed" for.

[TimCommerford]

@Apjooz A very, very advanced processor :).

[jotke]

SKYNET!!!!! it`gonna happen..

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

This reminds me of an immovable "robot" I built out of dental flossers for my 3D design class.

[christiangaron]

Definitely awesome!

[alexanderjurjens]

As long it is not a hyperalloy endoskeleton combatchassis controlled by a microprocessor, I

'm not really scared :P

[DiVlJaKzzzz]

xD ahahahahaa

[Azoicum]

no cock and what the fuck is wrong with stereoscopic 3D eyes

[delpiro95]

No legs wat thehell

[goldragon988]

It's impossible to create a self-aware computer.

[KeedX]

Dude Nothings impossible.

[megakurre]

the robots are coming! we are so screwed

[hakeemhaqq]

until the day when synthetic organic mimicked kinetic muscle fibers and tendons and randomized cognitive quadratic algorithmic Nero wires connected to a circuit and processor with the same capabilities are an invention of the past, then Ill start to dream of a day when robots rule the world, but until then I'm just another spectator.

[debergarac]

That's a lot of big words for a guy who never bothered to learn punctuation.

[hakeemhaqq]

I think its best said, when in quantum theory land everything has a place and purpose. Except for the opposition of a simple answer

[JohnMuise]

Ever watch iRobot? haha

[evrendaglarli]

which have cognitive activities been tested?

Cognitive aspects of the robot can not be identified in this video.

[ncxncxncx]

the future belongs to the machines

[myjanuary151987]

Yeah! God created man. Man created robot. Robot is gonna kill stupid man, cos man just fuck around

[st1wPNV]

it only happents and will happen in movies....

TV made man stupid

[myjanuary151987]

So I am stupid? Ha-ha, go ahead, keep fucking around.

Now I tell you, that 2 equal species can't exist together in the same natural habitat. One must annihilate another. So, if cyborgs were stronger than human beings, you would thank Cameron for 1984 and 1991.

[st1wPNV]

robots will never be even close to humans

they will be used to help us, not kill us

they wont have feelings, cuz human tehnology will never reach that

if humans are to be annihilated, they will do it among themselves, robots will be only used as "weapons" for that selfdestruction

[myjanuary151987]

Go ahead and fuck around. Time will show that.

[st1wPNV]

i cant w8 to see it

[myjanuary151987]

Me too. Probably 2020 or something

[muryllomv]

incrivel!!!

[Rising90zg]

That's just what they present to public. In secret the probably got much further...

[ezc3]

Well.. its the T1... hehehe

[MrBlakeLee]

robotics is still way behind

[wilsaljo]

behind what?

[plmqas]

I heard that the main problem are muscle :/ search : AIR MUSCLE air "NANOTYBE" muscle. I hope that eccerobot know that we want to see more of their videos ;p

[timslife]

whoa, was that a bong he picked-up?

[stevejberry]

amuzment park cup

[drealm]

Awesome.

[itcouldb]

i don't mind robots but it will be weird if they try to make them look like humans...

[doubleatheman]

I know who ever said the darn things have to look and act like us, just make them usefull for house cleaning :P thats all I need.

[Vire70]

It'll be awesome.

[Delus1on77]

imagin - they could rebuild u! they have the technology

[synchromesh]

Wow... and the voice-over sounds *exactly* like the narrator on "The Animatrix - The Second Renaissance", describing how the robots came to take over the world.

But I think the technology looks very cool; both the anthropomorphic aspects and just the "string, bungee cord & thermoplastic" nature of it. Cool!

[choc113]

I new the vid reminded me of that DVD for some reason! Makes it even more creepy.

[choc113]

Why do I keep expecting it to be holding a huge great lazer gun and mowing down humans by the dozen:(

[DNATS]

We R DOOMED!

[chkdg8]

Hell yeah we are.

[vtheviking]

technology is way more advanced then tht

[briansuxxx]

robots that smoke blue bongs??

[chkdg8]

I know right?

[shadowace421]

that thing looks extremely hard to move. The tools of natural movement are their, but not the brainpower like ours

[choc113]

I hope one day they can put a human brain in a body like this. Like someone who is paralysed or something .

[shadowace421]

connecting the two is also hard

[jonmcsingee]

one word.. Cylon

[Nogard229]

hahaha

[nx2overide]

one word.. Terminator

[Baxxter101]

that is awesome!

[DrQxx]

Yes it all human like but can i get a ROBOT HJ ?

[mrwindex3]

Very nice!

Is that an ICD2 emulator ?.....Yep!

Go MICROCHIP.. Go!

[rahuldeo2047]

soon NS-5 (I, Robot) will be seen walking and interacting ppl on the road in real.
