Robotic Roommates Shopping for and Preparing Bavarian Breakfast

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[UDKoder]

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

[brooklyninja]

@UDKoder hahah

[chabi3000]

Hahahaha through our intelligence and creativity we men won´t need women no more . We will have cookbots for making our meals , a cleanbot for cleaning our rooms and even a fembot for sexual pleasure :D hahhahaha . Women fucking women .

[goodgoodgoodful]

If Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" is to be remixed, these robots really fit in the music video :-)

[captainferr]

Was the robot able to recognize that it dropped a sausage?

[foxyd3]

It is nice to see they are using Ubuntu Linux.

[AFLoneWolf]

So we'll have YOU GUYS to blame when the robots take over the world.

Eh. Worth it.

[humaner]

I want to be a robot.. perfect calculations..means perfect happiness

[danagamer]

this is what you get when you invest tax money into education instead of military

[rivlean8]

slow or not, in 10 years these robots gona cook dinner for rich ppl

and in 20-30 gona be everywhere for every1

[TheSlackerboy]

@rivlean8 I strongly suspect they will be cooking fast food long before they are cooking for the rich, they seem to be perfectly suited to small simple menus.

I fear fast food jobs will become mostly robotic within 10 years.

[rivlean8]

@TheSlackerboy and in 20 years we humans gona have no more job

probably in 40 years they gona have robots to fuck our womens for hours instead of us doing it lol

[gregorstuhlbein]

@rivlean8

Did it ever occur to people that not having a job might be a good thing, at least

when most work is done by robots for them?

[rivlean8]

@gregorstuhlbein now did it ever occur to you ever learning that you dont get paid for sitting your ass at home doing nothing?

[jadayMisha]

о ! давно пора

[kiko19972]

how much was the video in original size? 20 Minutes? *NO OFFENCE SKYNET*

[karolis685]

I wonder when will robots be capable of producing more complex dishes and also be available for mass production :)

[robertomasymas]

why are they wasting their time with robots that shop for you? people do that for fun. make me a robot that cleans my bathroom for me, and does my laundry. now that would be a useful technology!

[RandomRaptor679]

that's one Fkiin' very expensive toaster!

"679"

[Exalion27]

PR2 didn't even throw any bowls onto the ground! Brilliant work!

[neonguru]

Catchy music too

[Hackzoid]

so skynet can cook now , brilliant

[albertusj]

It is interesting to see robots cooperate like this. Very clever, and fixing breakfast can be such a pain anyway...

[vwaxman]

Pee-wee Herman had that shit ages ago.

[itsGazaIan]

several years ago, there were mocks of this in cartoons and all... now, it's real. robots are taking over the world. We need the navy.

Robot Masters here we come!! Sausage Man and Kitchen Woman, away!

[daleykid]

Is it wise to try to teach a robot to cook like a human? Simply buttering two slices of bread is quite a sophisticated operation. My approach would be to design a series of automated gadgets for the robot to interface with, so it doesn't have to go through all the separate stages of buttering bread but simply drops the slices into a gadget that automates this process, the robot simply collects when ready.

[TheGeorgevt]

@daleykid I think it is wise, it is proving how robots can do complex tasks and aren't just for automation of actions, because automation of foods has/could have been done since the 1950s, and theoretically isn't that complicated. Teaching the nuances and tiny little details to a robot however to create toast is like teaching a robot to make it's own art, a truly transcendental creation. If a robot can interface with a gadget, then so can humans, and the robot is useless.

[Thimmet]

Ive been wondering over a year what I would like to study when I'll head to a university next year. I have been sure it has to be something technology-related because technology has always intrigued me. Watching robotics videos and learning about it I'm quite sure now, finally, that it will indeed be robotics. Thank you.

[iasTUMUNICH]

@rhynobots: there is only one reason for the robot to be "slow" - because we wanted it to be so. We needed a time to explain to the audience how does the demo work. There is absolutely no impediments to make the robots work at the faster pace.

[sspencer0383]

@iasTUMUNICH: There's obviously a limit to how fast the robots could perform such a task. How fast do you think these robots could complete this task (ignoring cooking time)? What what would be the limiting factors? I know that the arms used in Rosie have good dynamic properties (high bandwidth), but I tend to think of the PR2 (James) as very clumsy (stiff and slow). However, I'm guessing that the dynamics of the robots are not one of the limiting factors yet.

[rhynobots]

I hope it is not just me, this video is running at 5x or more, right? If so, why is the robot so slow in its motions, even after being autonomous!

Btw, awesome work... I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords :)

[itsGazaIan]

@rhynobots actually 15x... it says it right there in the video in the bottom right corner... are you blind or something? visually impaired? it's a serious question, I really don't see how you could miss that.

[rhynobots]

@itsGazaIan that's not the point of my question, you idiot...

[itsGazaIan]

@rhynobots I wasn't answering your question, idiot.

[deanmunford]

Fantastic, brilliant work guys!!! Cant wait to see them roaming around the supermarket!

[Rage1Quit]

Har Har, soon they will learn the art of sandwiches and Women will become redundant ;) JKS JKS JKS

[jonnyrich007]

@Rage1Quit -- Your lame joke doesn't even make sense. So you are so dumb that you can't even make sandwiches? That's what you are really saying right?

[Rage1Quit]

@jonnyrich007 What part of it doesn't make sense? Is your sense of humor and imagination so primitive you cannot understand a joke which mocks the stereotypical nature of the female gender? Can you not grasp this simple idea? Or is it you merely choose to criticize those that offer a witty comment?

[iasTUMUNICH]

Hi ereignisfelder,

above video displays only the highlights from an obviously much longer demonstration of skills of our robots. The demo was thus two-fold, one part featured the robots preparing a breakfast and the second part featured PR2 robot simulating the shopping task (milk+cereal) and inferring and putting the objects where they belong to in our testbed kitchen.

See also the longer version of the latter part in a video titled TUM James Goes Shopping.

whats with the cereal and the milk?
