  • Why did you leave me here? I wanted to be on the Earth to party!

  • I am very happy to see the This video of NASA JSC's "Project M" depicts a Robonaut-based, tele-operated mission to the Moon from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

  • I Love The Video of NASA JSC's "Project M" depicts a Robonaut-based, tele-operated mission to the Moon It Can Increase My Knowledge

  • Nice Video This video of NASA JSC's "Project M" depicts a Robonaut-based, tele-operated mission to the Moon one that JSC claims could be accomplished That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

  • I Really Like The Video This video of NASA JSC's "Project M" depicts a Robonaut-based, tele-operated mission to the Moon From Your

  • SEND A HUMAN NOT A ROBOT!!!!!!!

  • that ain't falco

  • yea but whats the idea in sending it there?

  • he's a bad ass Robonaut :))

  • First they should make a hundred or so of these guys & sic them on the unimaginative SOBs in DC who hold the purse-strings.

  • Too bad NASA gone thx to the big cheese.

  • The only problem I can see with this technology on the moon, once androids are a reality, which will not be long, I assure you, is the moon itself, or more specifically, moon dust. That stuff is -nasty-, it's powdered Silicon, and exposing any sort of advanced machinery too it is always a gamble

    Lunar rovers are alright because their internal workings are heavily shielded, but that robot's hydraulics in it's legs are totally exposed, a true lunar walker would most likely be very blocky.

  • $tart the countdown,. in our lifetime,..-=0-0=-

  • amazing!!!!

  • The project is great!

    If he brings his guitar, I have a very special tune that we can both play on the Moon.

  • "One small step for me, a giant leap toward Terminator!" :D:D:D

    But seriously, that's great :) Finally the moon exploration (open to public that is) will finally continue :)

  • we got this but we cant cure blindness

  • Ohh man, I cant wait to see how technology evolved in 2050. Science for ever :D!

  • they all to use the seg motor to power that robot he could stay on for a life with out haveing to be turn off look up seg motor it will blow your mind

  • at 1:32 he should "flip the bird" to the earth......thinking "I'm on the moon you stupid humans"

  • I am back ...

  • 1:26

    "I will have my revenge!"

  • @ItalianoAmericano What would make more sense: sending men to the moon at 200 times the cost? What makes the most sense would be to use this project as a trial run for sending robots to Mars, to do serious prep work for eventual manned missions (ie, building shelters, greenhouses, etc.).

    What is nonsensical is the humanoid design of this machine, down to the 5 fingers. NASA should be focusing on function, not style for the sake of PR.

  • @TroyOi You are right in that a machine of humanoid design may not be the most appropriate for some types of mission, but I think they are working towards a machine that works alongside humans doing some of the prep work , a modern day slave!..anyway we have evolved a shape that is the ultimate all purpose machine so why change it..?

  • @Esurname What you're saying could certainly trigger a long discussion. I don't agree that a humanoid is the best functional machine for the environment of the moon, but as far as "all-purpose", as well as something that real humans would be comfortable with... well, maybe. But I'd be very surprised if the PR factor wasn't the main driver in what these guys are producing.

  • @Esurname As you mention humans having evolved to be the "ultimate all purpose machine" (which I'm not sure I'd go along with), you may be interested in this recent article: wwwDOTnytimesDOTcom/2010/11/02­/science/02angier.html?_r=1&re­f=science. In it, some scientists argue that nature has evolved some biological systems to their near-absolute optimal physical limits. (Eg, the sensitivity of a human eye is such that it can discern individual photons, which is about as far as you take it.)

  • Just what we need a robot that flips out on some planet and starts a galactic war should it run into some form of intelligent life. Holy Christ is this where we are going in the space program? Get fuckin real!

  • Ok now he is ticked...He looked up at earth and thought...Why did they leave me here all alone...beep beep...they must not like me...beep beep...me not like earth...beep beep...me go back and crush earth one day...beep beep...me go throw another rock in the meantime...beep beep

  • And 6 minutes later he ran out of battery life. Adios!

  • It made something get in my eyes. Some kind of watery stuff. I liked the video a lot. It made me more hopeful about the future. Now if we can just get beyond the dirty mind poisons of Glenn Lee Beck and his gang.

  • Maybe in 100 years, not a 1,000 days. This video was uploaded before BHO destroyed NASA. We shan't see anything like it again in the next four or five generations.

  • @upajos

    Hey 1 hundred years ago we were riding horses.

  • operated from earth?

    would need on board AI to walk, couldn't operate in real time because of the lag in the radio signal

  • @junkymagi Three seconds (round trip) isn't much. But yeah, I'm sure it has some degree of AI. FWIW, I remember when one of the Apollo landers blasted off from the moon, it was captured by a camera left on the ground that was remotely operated to pivot up and follow the module's ascent. The Houston-based operator did a perfect job of compensating for the delay so that the craft stayed in view until it was out of sight.

  • I hope when humans return to the Moon in 2024 this R4 driod will go out before human arrived a few months later...If it does not two legs maybe it will have tank wheels instead..

  • MUCH like humans first day on earth.

  • Don't tell him 12 humans beat him there half a century ago, or he'll be pissed!

  • @ ItalianoAmericano ¤¤¤¤ you

  • @ItalianoAmericano More nonsense? No work that NASA does is nonsense. NASA is a large group of extremely intelligent people, who are able to think on the spot, or long term. Their open minds geared for exploration helps keep the human race alive. Thanks to them, we'll be able to one day be living on other planets and their satellites, and perhaps man-made objects that orbit those celestial bodies. NEVER say that NASA's work is nonsense. Discovery and knowledge is what keeps our race alive.

  • in 1000 days :D

  • C-3PO on your service...

  • ya sallam

  • this looks more real than wehn the apollo stooges went to Nevada

  • Buzz the lying retarded old fart

    This scumbag refused to swear on the evil bible that he walked on the moon

    Someone needs to knock this old nazi fart out

  • This is what Philip J. Corso told in his book the day after Roswell man can not travel space. Question NASA Col. Corso

    Peace to you

  • So when does NASA plan to send humans there?

    In 1000 years maybe?

    Check out Moonfaker Buzz Aldrin's latest interview for Vanity Fair magazine.. It's a hoot!

    "Sending a couple of guys to the Moon and bringing them back safely? That's a stunt! That's not historic."

    LOL

  • @straydog02

    Nice to see ya agin youn' man. Enjoy your comments and videos. The LRO photos look fake and there is no other newer alleged proof Nasi can ever come up with.

    Another fake moonhoax may be in order. The biggest obstacles are the VAB's, micrometeorites, a Lander that is workable and a whole lot of Gods honest truth.

    Gotta go now; need to check out Buzz Vanity Fair interview. Thanks EG

  • @EGMAG .. Hope you enjoyed Buzz The Clown's Vanity Fair interview ... I'm thinkin it's time for NASA to reel in that loose cannon, Manchurian astronot before he remembers that he never really walked on the Moon.

    As for this silly video, if NASA had a robot that could do what they claim, they would show the real thing and not just some ridiculous looking science fiction animation.

  • @straydog02

    hI AGAIN FRIEND. yOU KNOW, i SEARCHED THE NET AND CAN'T FIND IT. iF YOU HAVE A LINK I WOULD APPRECIATE IT THANKS, REGARDS eg

    SORRY BOUT THE CAPS OOPS

  • @EGMAG

    'Buzz Aldrin is Not All That Impressed With Walking on the Moon'

    vanityfair*com/online/oscars/2­­010/06/buzz-aldrin-is-not-all­-­that-impressed-with-walking-­on­-the-moon*html#ixzz0rz4mBWu­e

  • Are these people daft? This is man's exploration now.... a f* robot? All it needs is a red light going back and forth on it's face.

  • The music does add drama to the entire mission, hu? Very cool if you ask me.

  • Yeah, US and Japan could have a space war with robots and fight over the moon.

  • Comment removed

  • i hope they realize deploying R2D2 in 1000 days is impossible : )

  • And this is better than sending a man to the Moon...WHY?

    If this is the best we can do, after sending multiple manned missions to the Moon all the way back in the 70's.....well it almost makes ya belive the conspiracy theorists that say we never went in the first place!

  • @frankensteinmoneymac It's much, much cheaper.

  • @Mesterse I'd agree if the robot here was a bit more practical. Sending a wheeled rover style...even if it had very complicated robot 'arms' would be MUCH more practical AND cost effective. A bipedal Robot that solves problems of its own accord (no real-time control due to distance) doing practical work in an exotic local, in exotic gravity? LOTS of $ to get something like that to work.

  • Comment removed

  • @dinmagic 3 sec is more than enough for a bipedal robot to trip & fall on its mech. butt! & considering this is exotic, rocky territory...with plenty of dangerous 'who-knows-whats' 2 fall into, without constant supervision, it would have to solve locomotion problems, in real time by itself!! Check out "Big Dog" watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww This guy has 4 legs...now Imagine the research necessary to make a 2 legged version, walk in exotic gravity, local...& tell me that wont cost a fortune to produce!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @dinmagic I never said that I knew MORE than the experts. I am simply a guy, who doesn't just automatically accept that the 'experts' are so smart as to be flawless, and therefore immune to criticism. When the 'experts' present Ideas which seem unwise, it is the right & responsibility of the rest of us to question them. When 'experts' run amok with no one to question their logic, U get things like the current financial crisis. BTW my concearns and ?'s all have good & logical foundations.

  • Comment removed

  • @dinmagic Sorry it took me a while to respond...I did not notice your last reply. Actually U make a very good point. I will leave my final judgement on this matter for when they have a bit more accomplished. I am just a tad bit skeptical of the direction they seem to be wanting to take this is all ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @frankensteinmoneymac This is better because men require food, water and shelter. Robots do not. If we do send men to the moon again, then it'll only be after robots like these have built a habitat for men before men get there.

  • @sexyloser Well food & water are not HUGE problems, seeing as how the longest moon visit was only 75 hrs. Of course Shelter from Radiation & temperature extremes, & also breathable atmosphere are enormous undertakings...Still our level of autonomous robots are simply not up to the task of building such Shelters...@ least not yet. Of course this leaves a paradox...Y even use humans @ all?...if the robots become this sophisticated and autonomous, then they'd be able 2 do anything a person could!

  • @frankensteinmoneymac

    Nasa is already packing up the 300-pound Robonaut 2 for a trip to the International Space Station later this year. It is the closest thing we can get for a humanoid robot on the moon or another planet. I've just seen BD's bipedal robot and I was very impress by it, and that was just a prototype! Imagine one of these exploring the surface of Mars or beyond! Makes me wonder how space exploration will in the next 100 years.

  • @dinmagic its quite poss. that in 100 yrs all of that & much more than we can even imagine will be common-place. I too have seen some extremely impressive bipedal robots...however you should keep in mind that we R still very far from creating practical self stabalizing bipedal All Terrain Bots. We're only recently developing all terain 4 legged robots (look up Big Dog -ive got a link in another comment) I could C 'em using a hybrid 4 legged Centaur looking 'bot perhaps..just not a 2 legged 1.

  • @frankensteinmoneymac A human's experience is more valuable to mankind than a machine's.

  • @sexyloser Agreed! At least for the time being....when the day comes that a robot can outthink a human in practicle common sense matters....well then, I'd imagine that we will be in trouble! LOL!

  • me emocioné...

  • good ¡¡ job ¡¡ :D

  • all you need is one of those motion capture cameras, to capture the movements of a human controller and send them to moon in real time to control the robot. Use stereoscopic cameras on the robot to relay 3D images to the controller to create augmented reality and it would feel like if your on the moon.

    Doesn't beat actually going in person to the moon, but would make it so much cheaper.

    Don't know how you would simulate the low gravity on the moon, could make it complicated to control.

  • @huxley7x The timelag would be a problem. I'm working on this project for my senior design class in conjunction with JSC. R2 (that's what they're calling the robot, short for Robonaut 2) is supposed to be mostly autonomous.

  • @locutus2011 time-lag for the moon is only about 3 seconds, so that wouldn't be a problem --whereas on Mars it's something like 20 minutes to get a signal there, and then the return trip is another wait.

  • @huxley7x you wouldn't be going to the moon in person anyway, so why should it matter to you if a remote-control robot (which would actually make it an avatar, not a robot) went?

  • Shit! Awsome!!

  • fantastico..:)

  • yes!! after 2012 ... we don't need that... i hope.

  • This video is a hundred times more badass with The Terminator music playing in the background.

  • E poi i robot hanno il vantaggio ,oltre che non necessitato supporto vitale,di non uscirsene con frasi tipo Houston ce un babbo natale!!E sopratutto non rilasciano interviste.!!

  • It is not feasible. Joints in vacuum jammed. Heat transfer in a vacuum is possible only in the form of radiation. This robot will overheat.

  • @RumlinV Ok robo boy....

  • I just realized 1000 days is like almost 4 years! I was almost going to count down till the end of this year. What a long time!

  • @WeiSugarD you are youtube's finest mind.

  • @WeiSugarD ehm 1000 days are a bit less then 3 years not four

  • Have they got the required technology for lower body?

  • Asimo?

  • Can anyone be so kind and tell me what's the name of the song in this video ??

    Please :)

  • Hey, Isn't that it's upper half really looks like Robonaut 2? (although I bet they're gonna use something BigDog-like as the lower portion)

  • The Saturn's moon Titan has hydrocarbon reserves than all the oil and natural gas known on earth ... who knows if it's better that robot is there.

  • samo napred toa mu e potrebno na covestvoto!!!!

  • Chingados, cual es el pedo con este wey?

  • Hopefully, 1000 days will be enough.... GREAT PROJECT!! :)

  • The singularity IS coming.

  • We had robots on the moon since forever. Of course they don't act all stupid and throw rocks around but still... Is NASA thinking everyone in the world is a fool?

  • good gawd, nasa needs to hire better animators.

    and there are some pretty damn advanced androids, you just don't know about them because x company that makes them doesn't want reporters in their R&D department.

  • we have no robots that can move and walk like that, Robonaut is far far from being able to do this.

  • @meloveanna You are a fucktard and clearly you are ignorant re: robotics

  • WFT are you talking about? How am i ignorant? We are many years off from having this type of technology. Way beyond 3 years.

  • meloveanna

    robots can talk, walk, run, dance, do tai chi, throw and catch objects, lift, push, pull, recog. faces, and so on and so on.

    I despise you fucktards that make sweeping comments when you know fuck all

  • We have shitty robots that can only do each of what you listed, maybe a few if we're lucky. There is nothing close to that robot on earth. If so, please give an example

  • @meloveanna Well, Japan has that Asimo robot. But I know what you're saying. I think the most advanced robot in the US is that metallic dog that can bark and sit. But even that is made in China.

  • there are hundreds are robotics site on the web and you expect me to spoon feed you?

    Oh! I don't know, you could, um, like,  type "robots" into Google. Just a thought.

    LOL!!!

  • That's because NASA's planning to use telepresence rather than pure AI

  • doesn't make sense..

    they just waisting their money...

    let me ask a question..

    how many days that robot survive in the moon without recharging it self?

  • The landing rocket is a recharge station, duhhhhhh :P

  • nice comment

    but as usual this robots uses the solar energy

  • ....... I dont even know if your question should even be answered all I know is its people like this who are keeping us from doing anything important

  • Well, you're just a a genius, aren't you? I'm certain you're the first person to think of this, because you're so smart.

  • @xarlz159 That's one of the design considerations for the lander that will carry it to the moon. The lander will likely be solar powered (the specifics aren't set in stone yet) and have some sort of charging station.

  • at 1:02 I thought he was going to eat the dirt and analyze it.

  • @PenultimateRun who the hell are you to "lose faith in the human race"? you are nothing, i mean what exactly have you accomplished in life ?

    nothing i bet and you never will.

  • C3PO! :D

  • Damn i guess this robot has an internal name called C-3PO

    :D

  • It looks up at the Earth and thinks, "MUST KILL"

  • Fucking hurry up then NASA, get to work on that antigravity shit

  • you guys are all fucking idiots. seriously. this is why the human race is going to die. fuck you all.

  • Very nice, the "I see you" gesture at the end makes it just a little bit more perfect. Good PR.

  • Why is this piece of shyt so obsessed with it's hands??? Look ma, I have fingers! It reminds me of Luke Skywalker after his pappy cut his hand off. Plus, who spends a billion to send a robot to a rock to pick up and throw rocks. The fat kid across the street can do that for free!!

  • That will confuse the Aliens there for sure

  • @angelmassb It'll probably creep them out. Wait, this is exactly what they have been doing to us this whole time! Oh damn, time to get some payback.

  • Oh No its a real life Cylon in Caprica.

  • interesting, maybe have a "open" day where the public can control the unit?

  • good

  • good

  • Bad idea.

  • good

  • I see no reason at all why the robot needs to be humanoid, it would only cause problems.

  • good

  • pathetic

  • OMG - How sad!

    All by itself?

    On the moon -- Forever?

    You cruel Bastards!

    You better send me along to look after it!

  • It's Jack Williamson's Humanoids! "Service Sir?"

  • Yea, looks cool, but wheeled solar vehicle more practical. How many could you send at one time? Check out the lava tubes.

  • human power bitches!

  • Why not a spider robot with wheels?

  • Mannequin on the Moon? - Meh. Who cares?

    If you're going to all that effort to send a human sized and shaped robot to the moon, why not send an actual human. Unless you're a coward...

  • Should be a lot cheaper. You don't have to feed them, or bring them back. Let the robots do the heavy lifting, then send in the humans for the occupation.

  • What a joke. Does anyone think that sending a human looking robot to the moons makes up for not sending actual humans there?

    Pointless, talk about flags and footprints! At least Apollo was REAL footprints, not this android silliness.

    The only reason this would make sense would be as an addition to manned missions, but that is a moot point now thanks to Obama.

  • You think the government has money now, or the economy is decent? (Thanks to the unfortunate previous eight years, and another false promise.) And, nobody cares about space exploration (or the Moon) anymore, Kennedy used it as competition. Few watched the later Apollo missions after 11.

  • The economy tanked because of the mortgage crisis caused by DEMOCRATS who refused to reign in Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac. That is the dirty secret the media will not talk about.

    As for money, NASA represents 0.7% of the federal budget. If we can afford the TWO TRILLION DOLLARS of ADDITIONAL debt created by OBAMA SO FAR we can certainly afford the comparable pittance that NASA represents.

    If Obama wants to save money he should cut waste, NASA actually creates high paying, hi-tech JOBS.

  • Also, with NASA now not going to be using large numbers of RS-68 engines the cost of those engines to the military is going up. The military is also now going to have to find a way, and money, to keep large solid rocket motor production lines open. So much of the "savings" from canceling these programs will not be saved at all but just be transferred to the DOD budget. Not to mention the TENS OF THOUSANDS of unemployed direct and indirect NASA employees. In the end we might save $2-3 billion.

  • LOL. Republicans on the internet. So hilarious.

  • Brilliant fact filled response!

    (that's sarcasm by the way)

  • We all know NASA is the governments attempt to take over space. I'm glad its slashed! It creates jobs? Creates government butter jobs. Only thing that kenyan ever did right was to break the govt monopoly on space. Its practically welfare in space--as if there wasn't enough down here.

  • Much cooler than people.

  • Before sending humans to the surface of Mars, ( to bridge the gap of robotic and manned space exploration). Astronauts inside an outpost on Phobos could explore the Martian surface by controlling robonauts in real time. High-risk robotic missions under tight human control.

  • Wow... you people still exist?
