Baseball robots

[solidkingcobra]

humans vs robots NOW!

[solidkingcobra]

in baseball!

[p0630076]

robots cant replace us,this is an amazing achievement..it can be used to for so many uses like multiple robot coordination,an extension for disable ppl,prosthetics...e possibilities are boundless so wtf is wrong with u whiners???

[Darthvicious4759]

are we ever gonna use baseball robots... NO so why do scientist never fugure out something useful like the cure for cancer?

[looni3]

Why don't you figure it out?

[hazyeight]

@Darthvicious4759, you're being shortsighted. This is just an exercise for "scientists" to create robots with better object recognitions and coordination. This is so one day you can ask a robot to pick you up an orange and it will be able to recognize the orange, and accurately manipulate the orange.

[SpacePigeon5]

because people arent worthy of a cure for cancer! :D

[daflamer]

awesome!

[thenjr99]

Ha nice "Mechanics"

[TheKillingducks]

this is stupid they say by 2010 the robots will be everywhere so what is the use for humans!???? we will have nothing to do

[snakeandbake]

don't worry, we can always pick up guns and kill each other.

[cannonstudio]

Just when you thought baseball couldn't get any more boring...

[GiantsTuck91]

Wow, you're dumb.

[boomyjr]

yea but they have never had them with a throwing motion... nor a hitting machine that can hit a moving ball

[Joblow420]

Big deal? They've had Pitching machines around for years, and they throw a lot faster than that...

[94thts]

No they dont "throw" anything. Those pitching machines that "have been around for many years" just fires the ball with some sort of compressed air. I dont think you understand the technology behind this...

[Joblow420]

You seem to be the one who doesn't know anything... They don't use compressed air dumb ass, look it up. And can this put movement on a ball like the current pitching machine and or throw a curve ball like a pitching machine or a slider??? Anyone who knows anything about industry or that has worked in that field could make something like this... Nothing impressive at all...

[94thts]

Well if anybody can make a robot like that why dont you make one? And btw I dont give a shit about baseball anyway.

[peterbone]

The main subject of the video was the other robot that hit the ball. That is a much more difficult task. Secondly, the pitching robot is throwing in a much more human way than the current pitching machines.

[todegriks]

This IS the future.

[brygidawalczak]

This is the NOW ;)

[ieatsgoats]

I wonder if they'll ever make cricket robots...Probably not. When you consider the amount of skill and technique to bowl or bat in cricket it's unlikely they'll be able to have a machine emulate it for quite some time.

[kjaan]

wow!!!...amazing..I am more impressed with hitting from such a close range.

[tw1tch09]

I think the cubs could use a few of these

[crazydafy]

luls

[Nysiphunk]

Mets need them more. Have you seen them lately?

[tw1tch09]

haha yeah true dat

[Bballashotfalla]

Skynet is building a baseball team!!!

[James1927champion]

so, my puppy can do that :)

[Air420]

I need one that can do my dishes.

[KBirk83]

They have those, it's called a woman. JK EVERYONE JK!

[joeb1823]

lmao

[imranwashere]

roflll!!

[spicedclay]

can they do the real distance??

[singermike]

Thank you for the compliment on my singing video.

[die123zac]

Very cool.

I can see just all the possibilities for future robots using this technology...

[Myxa512]

cool =)

[justaddh30]

that robot batter is definitely taking performance enhancing drugs...no way he could connect every time

[adamcpennington]

RIght on the money. Thanks for this video. I <3 Robots
