Monkey Controls Advanced Robot With Its Mind

[jjclassjj]

i enjoyed this vid

[lsdgarfield]

Fucking idiots! I am willing to say that i hate animal cruelty more than anybody in the comments, but they DONT NEED TO CUT HIS SCULL OPEN; thats just nops glued to the monkeys head that measure brain waves... hose brain waves are translated into movements of the robot simple as fuck

[audiosport2]

vanquish boss ending

[iamabgarcia]

NO WAY?!

[ThePlatypusAgent]

There goes the human race.

[azraelsgrave]

Wife : So John why did you get fired?

Husband : A monkey replaced me.

Wife : You'd think a machine would have replaced you. Not a monkey.

Husband : It did

Wife : I thought you said a monkey replaced you?

Husband : The monkey was controlling the robot, that replaced me.

Wife : ...

[BrickMan5054]

Great for factorys.

[mattfavell]

Dr Swartz probably should have watched up til the end of both the terminator and planet of the apes before he created this innevitable disaster...just saying

[micidragan]

Will that monkey be put down after the experiments or will they seal his scalp and let it live for a while?

How are these primates handling such invasive operations?

[inphrased]

awesome

[ragtagsoccer]

A monkey controlling an advanced robot? What could possibly go wrong?...

[6yka66RUS]

@ragtagsoccer

haha

[EvilGamerJ]

That's cool, but get ready to fight Chipinators.

[America2470]

No, no.. Nothing is wrong with a fucking MONKEY! Controlling a machine with it's mind...

[momandsyd]

:O he actually did it on my birthday??!!?!?!?

[alienhddna]

i saw this arm on a diffrent robot it has fast human like move ment

[dankyogurt]

anyone seen lawnmower man?

[branzilla]

Creepy

[mmikkone]

Sadistic

[MultiDalson]

does the monkey has an facebook? i'd chat with him.

[lsybrandt]

I'm confused. Should I be welcoming my new monkey overlords or my new robot overlords?

[Ikryn]

@lsybrandt Your new Monkey Cyborg overlords.  I'm going to go ahead and start running now.

[MrgnUTube]

scandalous

[Andreas2800]

Meanwhile at home, He's friends had hard time figuring out how to crack a nut with a stone.....

[antyouto]

hey i saw this scene in the movie surrogates

[adamman9908]

this is probably the most awesome thing ever moneys and robots thats so cool

[Ramzez88]

I just see monkey and robot , I see no evidence that it is a monkey controlled the robot-arm.

[kyletrueman17]

i'll be waiting for the day when a monkey in a military-grade robot suit escapes and causes all sorts of havoc

[744268]

OH NO! WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!?!

[TheRGamer]

They said that monkeys ruling the world is just a joke. They said that Planet of Apes is just a movie, but not for long o_o!!

[MoskowFreak1111]

i want that!

[TikiShootah]

I can see it now exosuit monkeys they will rule the world..and we helped em..

[052145]

The future of cheap labour right here, the chinese must be worried

[GRIM2594]

@052145 ROFL

[Nickael7]

Now that's very interesting technology.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

Monkey see and monkey do, sweet treat reward: Looks like some of my past co-workers, they would even hoard the supermarket (it is theirs, they saw it first).

[Karmathejedi1701]

NO, REALLY! A Monkey with a robot arm!!! #WTF

[pip9999]

rock on, monkeys!!!! :)

[SteableDvD]

robotchicken will kick robotmonkey's ass

[carloslucar]

Y el mono???????????

[Highlandezzy]

I think it's a fake. I think the monkey is the robots lunch meal.

[BigSean1992]

why don't they just do this with people again?

[roidroid]

@BigSean1992 because it causes brain damage.

The neural link doesn't last long before the neurons involved actually die, effectively "breaking" the mechanism. AFAIK it's still a rather "brute force" technique - the neurons are damaged by the process and don't last long.

But don't worry, there's always a variety of research projects underway to bypass these problems.

[BigSean1992]

@roidroid then perform it on prison inmates at least they have no value and deserve to be treated like animals

[roidroid]

@BigSean1992 Did you know that USA has 1% of it's population in jail?

And they are basically de-facto slaves - working for no money, if they refuse they get solitary confinement.

Their products are sold, and this whole slave system injects a lot of money into USA's economy - a slave economy in the 21st century.

watch?v=8E7wgFcCefE

Did you know about this happening in the land of the Free?

So please don't be so harsh on prisoners BigSean1992.

[BigSean1992]

@roidroid

So please don't be so harsh on prisoners

are you serious why should i feel bad for someone who murdered,stole,raped, tortured,kidnapped someone they deserve far worse maybe if prison wasn't 3 hots and a cot,workout time,schooling all for free, people would commit less crimes in the USA

[roidroid]

@BigSean1992 murdered,stole,raped, tortured,kidnapped ?

Hardly.

Most of America's prison population is there for simple drug possession, and other non-violent petty crimes.

[abram730]

@roidroid by making neurons into photo receptors the problem of sending information is avoided... getting neurons to produce light will take longer as that will take genetic modification. No immune reaction to the wires that way though.

[roidroid]

@abram730 that is uncanny. About an hour ago I was laying in bed pondering (of all things) computer/neuron interfaces - quite likely at the exact same time that you sent me this message!

[abram730]

@roidroid The term is Synchronicity.

I had many, many instances like that and investigated how such things could occur after coincidence ran out.

I found my answers in the rules governing wave particle duality and their behavior in the double slit experimental. One sees choices made in the present effecting events in the past in the Delayed choice quantum eraser.

Information can defy spacial separation when identical.

Objective reality isn't all of reality, nor is time what we think.

[RalucadnelpS]

@abram730 kids, this is what we call psuedoscience. look carefully at the references to complicated theories and almost unintelligible jargon. especially noteworthy is the subjects belief in the nonsense amalgam of scientific postulation. this is also where the common delusion of miraculous or otherworldly events comes from, as well as a healthy dose of confirmation bias.

[abram730]

@RalucadnelpS Fitting complex subjects into 500 chars, doesn't work well... I don't like jargon, but it's unavoidable in this context. You find theories too complex? Your short comings are not my fault.

[kienokuandosoy]

ke pinche epoka para vivir :D

[HowlinArcticWolf]

Leave that monkey alone, you can make those experiments with humans!

Thoughtless idiots...

[fueraconch]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, that's a good point!!! XD hahahahahahahhaha

[BigSean1992]

@HowlinArcticWolf i second this

[6yka66RUS]

@HowlinArcticWolf

ye, give them ur head to put wires in it, not a big deal

[TheMGOkilla]

@HowlinArcticWolf of course, but the human might get cancer... :)

[k1dicarus]

The video above shows the experiment. Note the monkey on the right side of the screen. It uses its right arm to tap a button. (Its left arm is gently restrained inside a tube.) This triggers the robotic manipulator labeled DENSO [left side of the screen] to position a black knob at an arbitrary point in space. The monkey then controls its articulated robotic arm to grasp the knob.

After gently touching the knob, the monkey places its mouth on a straw: it then gets a drink reward.

[k1dicarus]

After that, both robotic arms reset. Again, the monkey taps the button, waits for the knob's new position, and readily and precisely moves its robotic arm to get a drink.

In this experiment, the monkey received two brain implants: one in the hand area and another in the arm area of its motor cortex. The implants monitor the firing of motor neurons and send this data to a computer, which translates the patterns into commands for the robotic arm.

[krzysiekru]

show me the monkey

[Helldiver450]

Let's be happy that we don't have nazi monkeys piloting giant robots ok people?

[fishyentertainment]

@Helldiver450  yet :P

[Impulse116]

@Helldiver450

but maybe u would be some nazi officer then :P

[Impulse116]

Where is your god now?

[U1traL0rd]

@Impulse116 I really don't see how this proves or disproves the existence of God?

It is a monkey that has been trained to do something, and it does it.. 

[Impulse116]

@U1traL0rd

lols i just trollin XD

[U1traL0rd]

@Impulse116 ah :D Well my bad for feedin da troll

[dan650472]

will it fling robot poop!?!

[thunderboyAAC]

The monkey will eventually make it feed em bananas

[Cropduster777]

It's so easy a monkey can do it! (TM)

[ganegreen]

ITS A GUNDAM!!!!!!!!!11!!!!1111!!!!1­!!!1!!!

[jmmyjimmy106]

Why are we HELPING monkeys enslave everyone? That would be like black people being in the KKK.

[ndjarnag]

where's the monkey?

[monkeynomonkey]

ahhh...so THIS is the turning point of the end of the world. meet your new rulers, kids!

[OhayouGozaimasuNihon]

@monkeynomonkey

:[] i wouldnt mind monkeys as my ruler....hmm usless they were robots >:[] that would be scary jsut like those puppets....But THIS IS COOL!

[raazstone]

that monkey will get mad pussy when he gets back to his pack.

[dethkatt]

@raazstone fuken awsome XDXDXDXD tottaly agree!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zeddy98]

That monkeys buddies will never believe him when he tells them what he's been up to for the past weeks :o

[axellinmex]

the Monkey It's in the right inferior side of the screen .

[skyblue2567]

wow they have mind controlled robots now? I DIDNT know that lol

[SuperNatural007]

@skyblue2567 Dr. Lee has created gaming technology that allows for humans to move objects with their minds in a gaming environment. You can find that video at TED. I'm sure they are using the same advancements for this robot. Did you know that computers can now read your mind? They interpret the clicking sounds in your mind in a similar way that we do for S.O.S.. They know what you are thinking... Check it out! - Supernatural007

[VolDasKS]

Why do I feel we will end up like Planets of the Apes?

[martinbirch22]

where's the monkey?

[Quidgo]

nothing to see here, this video is years old

[SJRNWT]

@Quidgo You're an idiot. Just because it's old, that doesn't take away from the fact that it's informative to those who haven't watched it.

[roidroid]

@Quidgo >years old

nah you're thinking of another video.

[HerrEmil]

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

[MOldar]

@HerrEmil and so what?

[Wrath0fKhan]

@HerrEmil

Is that good or bad...

[Peaceinlifenowar]

@HerrEmil shut up -.- 

[4uTa4oK]

@HerrEmil moron

[DigitalGangsterz]

lame...............where is the monkey?

[zroth79]

@DigitalGangsterz Look at the right side of the screen. You can see the monkey moving its head and waving its arm.

[DigitalGangsterz]

@zroth79 lol thanks for the respond man, i think i need to get some eye checkup :)

[eeirertomb]

Awesome! , in the next 15 years i can get a new Can open'er.

[ColdNCursed]

Great, next they can start driving our cars for us too! And then they can hold guns, and start pwning people who do not abide to them.

[spiralflame88]

Cocky little freak!

[draudn]

@spiralflame88

That was my exact though as well. You are my hero <3

[quitecromulent]

this technology must not be allowed to fall into the hands of dr. otto octavius

[mrzero1982]

skynet, with the help of monkeys are the key to judgement day. i am hiding in my bunker typing this now.

[funnymax4u]

i could have done that easy

[Gasbandit]

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE

[purpleprinc3]

Where's the Munkay!? I want my 42 seconds back, and the 30 seconds it took to write this comment, and the 20 seconds to think of this comm....

[NickRoeder]

@purpleprinc3 The bottom right.

[purpleprinc3]

@NickRoeder ~ Oh yeahhh! Shady monkey! Thanks lol

[ytpro27]

@nusgo...this monkey, drunk, would make a better president than Obama.

Don't insult the monkey, somejackball.

[JigenD]

@ytpro27 but what if Obama had a robotic arm?

[kikerockrap]

jajajajajajaj que loco

lo que hce la tecnologia

[vaz999mel]

Esclavitud.

[tomasito120]

esto tiene que ser una coña

[MarmEntertainment]

hahaha we are gone be ruled over by robot monkeys...

[Mrxb0x]

next thing ya know they'll have trained monkeys running around in terminator robots in iraq

[SJPatrik]

@Mrxb0x lol

[mailboxqwert]

@Mrxb0x its already happening.

[Mrxb0x]

@mailboxqwert HA lol you mean the UAVs? lol I see what u did there

[CallMeBionic]

@Mrxb0x haha omg xD

[DTevr89]

JUST GIVE ME THE *&CKING BANANA ALREADY!

[keyedyourcar55]

can it make me a sandwitch?

[DizLiKhmerKid]

its gonna use the robot to break free and take over humanity.

[cz27227348]

I bet that monkey is tweaking out

[peruface]

the title is hilarious i can stop laughing

[somejackball]

how did they get Obama to agree to do this?

[StormyWeather21]

@somejackball JEW!

[nusgo]

@somejackball you are retarded, while he is the president of the most powerful country in the world

[poodle2426]

point?

[CookieMonzta1995]

Rather cool should come in handy for people with many disabilities.

[theslimeylimey]

Is that a USB or Firewire monkey?

[airtoons]

i like how they keep the top of his head out of frame so people cant see the wires poking out of his brain and whatnot.

[djsuperstar717]

Holy shit;

This is AMAZINGG!!!!!

Pretty soon we will have Iron Man type suits

[northernvoxmedia]

@djsuperstar717 Maybe then we'll finally win the war agains Afghanistan haha

[jerrui1]

This little guy is a genius :)

[tehverybestcomment]

I hope the monkey is alright after this experiment, otherwise let's use Dr. Andrew Schwartz next time.

[cooketnet]

This little guy looks way better operating a robot than the dudes hired by BP to fix the underwater leak.

[TaylorRV79]

@cooketnet haha! outclassed by a shit-throwing primape.

[griffithd05]

@cooketnet BOOSH! hahaha nice pop culture reference. hahahahahahaha

[Drebin898]

Soon we will see monkeys in factory's

[jackrc11]

@Drebin898 the economy will improve, prices on bananas will skyrocket

[heshameb]

@jackrc11 but it wasn't rewarded with banana :-) in the article it's written "...it then gets a drink reward", addictive drink ? ;-)

[theslimeylimey]

@Drebin898 Nah, the cost of peanuts and bananas will still be higher than what an Asian worker is forced to live on.

[AdamBadadem]

Please explain

[helohsn]

hopefully they get robots that open doors for me soon!!

[helohsn]

interesting...
