SmartPal V Cleaning Robot

[ethaneveraldo]

fantastic!! I want one!!

[nfs444]

Retarded jap robos. I could clean 50 times better and faster than this. Shitty asian technology!

[Chuckalakala]

I like robots. But I like my dog better :)

[2k7friends2k7]

Lol..

Triple A batteries sounds like nipples :L

[TheForwardGaze]

I know. It could put your baby in the tub and give it a bath.

[4eva2cool]

I agree with limiteddan 100% i bet their gonna program this thing to wipe your ass as well.

sheesh -_-

[ILuvJokerMoreThanYou]

I need a cleaning robot.. Im too lazy :S

[limiteddan]

wow its so sad how people are trying to make so many thing easy for people....like common i bet you they will eventually make a robot that carries you from room to room like that chair in WALLY the movie

[JayTsunDayVis]

Prolly about that time, we might get into a cyborg body and we can be relaxed while running, imagine that! lol

[limiteddan]

that would be cool....but i still am pretty creeped out by these things cause what if they take over the world like in irobot

[WarInsideYourHead]

Robots are programmed machines. They only can do what they are programmed to do. It's not like a robot will somehow "gain consciousness" and decide that humans must go and start "taking over." That's cheap sci-fi nonsense. Unless of course the robots were programmed to kill, and I bet the Pentagon is already working on something like that.

[ciolamorta]

That's not cheap sci-fi nonsense. Believe me: robots will never think, but they will do something that they are not programmed to. AI is making new paths, think about neural networks for studying ant colonies, bayesian networks to gain experience... by the way, forms like these are CREEPY! :-)

[WarInsideYourHead]

Since AI is something that is programmed, nothing the machine does will go outside of what has been programmed. I'm not familiar with the examples you have provided, but I hardly see advanced technologies as "creepy." If you showed an iphone to someone 100 years ago they'd probably be quite creeped out - but anyone who is familiar with the technology today accepts it for what it is: A fine piece of practical technology.

[ciolamorta]

Man i agree with you, but you have to go deeper. AI is something that can evolve itself, adding experience to what the machine is programmed for. I think that machines won't never "think", but just "learn" something new with some mathematical model. For example, you program a machine to cook rice: maybe that machine will cook pasta in a month, even if you don't program the machine for that, if you correctly implement the program "cook". BTW, i don't believe in "matrix" or somewhat...

[WarInsideYourHead]

That's an interesting angle that I haven't really thought of before now. It seems AI would mostly focus on minute changes in coding or "experience" over time, and still would have to be programmed into doing something completely out of it's expertise. We generally use technology for practical applications, but our war mentality shows that our motives sometimes become corrupt. We can only try to focus technology for a positive outcome. Check out the Venus Project.

[ciolamorta]

Moral and etical implications are to consider, when you leave something out of your control. Especially if you're engineering something harmful, like weapons. I agree with you: man is protended to the bad, if left alone. But, if correctly guided, can make extraordinary things, like domotics applications for handicapped people. Machines, at last, could be free to act in a strict environment, but it's up to us to control its 'strictness'. Venus Project is something that depends on our honesty. :-)

[WarInsideYourHead]

True - but it's also a matter of spreading awareness to people who don't understand what the possibilities are with technology. Those who know better should focus on extending technology in a socially positive manner. This will encourage others to do the same once they see the positive outcome of this direction.

[ciolamorta]

I wish goodness was so "viral"... By the way, man is really close to money, and if there is one that gains, there is the other face of the medal: there is one who pays. Maybe we'll endorse technology for social purposes, but it's hard to follow this way, because social advantages have to be costless, and if we don't get out of petrol, this will never happen. We must try, indeed, even if it's hard.

@warinsideYourHead

Shut up it's called a simulated conciounus they

[thebarathrumm]

just a note, if the robot was designed to change behavior based on the suroundings, percieve threats etc, you would get unexpected outcome depending on this inviroment. This way a future securety robot would be prone to accidently attack humans if it percieved them as dangerous, however it would need to be programmed to learn these things first, and this situation would require no amount of AI. On a side note AI is overated as the only true AI would always be flawed, how else could it be AI?

[TheRedHeadz]

The cockroaches rule the world!

[Coolpix7900]

Cylon prototype

[shikatwin]

brb out to buy more triple A batteries *whooooosh*

[mischifKES]

it's not very effective though i mean i could have done all that in like under 2 mins thats including vacuming the room. it's a bit of a chatterbox as well.

[Duiss]

robots are fun. until some hacker kid reprograms his robot and terrorizes the whole neighbourhood.

always giving away responsibilities until we have none left.

[Skateboy2520]

they are probably a million dollars

[Yogling]

I could not have one of them in my house. That's just f-ing freaky ....

[Sparksomeart]

Hahahha I know what you mean!

[clarekat1523]

what if we built a robot to be more,more,more accurate than us it could be faster do ALL the things we could do and they reproduced and took over so we were the servants and they were the masters JUST THINK!

[jeffsadowski]

needs a machine gun.

[ChaozMaker140890]

What?!?!? A MACHINE GUN? are you crazy?! it needs two...

[kalphiteownage]

yea and clean up the mess after he killed someone!

[XxXsxcb345tXxX]

lol who needs hitmen buy one of these does everything for a lifetime cleans and shoots gr8 for robbers what ya think? cleans for there arrival kills then cleans the blood and the body off the floor AWESOME

[roschler]

Here comes the future! Thanks for the vid. :)

[insanity54]

Robots are too precise. We're trying to make them human like, but we make them more accurate than we could ever be! They should be built to be less accurate, and instead, be built for speed.
