STAIR Fetches A Stapler

[MrDJLaw]

I'd be tempted to go up to the stapler just as it's about to pick it up and take it and use it just so it would have to move and take 5hours to move 5cm to the new location of the stapler, thus pissing off the person who is waiting for the stapler sat about 20ft away who has to wait about a decade for it to fetch the stapler! :P

[CowboyOlli]

Christ, STAIR.

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.

[000thisone000]

well that has got to be the laziest sob i ever saw lmao

[kevlar1818]

That took 1 minute video time, and assuming it is sped up by 6 times, anyone could tell you was a 6 minute trip: A ways to go, but impressive work.

[synchro505]

This demonstration really makes me appreciate the complexity of programming and design needed to allow machines to perform useful tasks. Maybe it all has to be done in a different way for it to be more human. Cognitive robotics and evolutionary robotics come to mind.

[ingej32]

I don't spend 100 years just to get a stapler... :P

[frankTank1359]

wow the time it took that hunk of bolts to get the stapler i could have gone and ate lunch, digested it, and taken a shit

[togaida]

Don't get me wrong, I love robots...I research them when ever a new version or prototype is released but I'm disappointed that no one has made a robot advance enough to prove it's own consciencsciousness, to even use a simple reasoning as the two letter word of understanding, the word "OK", without programming it to do so, breaking the rules of artificial intelligence and artificial conscieousnous, if not going against a moral dilema in doing so.

[TheInstinctz]

The thing is, nothing is just born with the knowledge of understand the word "OK" or alot of things.

[togaida]

@TheInstinctz It's ironic that your username name is TheInstinctz and you didn't hit upon the following yourself; the point isn't in the literal sense of the word [OK] it's the reasoning, after conception even an unborn child knows it's hungry instinctivly, by reasoning, it physically lets its mother know via kicks and knows when it does this it gets fed and the reasoning, grows from there

[000FoxSnake000]

@togaida Yeah I'll just get on that for ya.

[togaida]

@000FoxSnake000 Cool, I follow YOUR success, introducing Artificial Efficiency or Artificial Conveyance which will replace the misnomer Artificial Intelligence removing any intimidating thoughts of robot world domination and having consumers by YOUR fun robots in droves, in turn, making you a millionaire, if not a billionaire, where you'd be seated next to other technological giants like Ford, Edison, and Bill Gates, just to name a few...so, GO! GO! FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR WEALTHY FUTURE!

[togaida]

Yeah, that is as cool as Hans Moravecs robot that took just as long in...1980. The fear of robots taking over in is undaunted, if not warrented. Robots will never, ever reach the level of intelligence scientists are wishing for...just plain simple machine intelligence, which shouldn't be called that. Machine efficiency would suffice because no matter what a robot is programmed or taught to teach itself...it's still a dumb, fast, efficient machine...what good is that, if not for it's precision.

[abuzedfreshman]

even though it took it a while to get the stapler, that is still the coolest thing ever

[Taloc111]

STAIR go rob a bank

STAIR:"i will be back in 2 hours"

[bubbs747]

Robot...have machine guns mounted on you and hunt myself while I try to sleep

[Skyliner33gtst]

I hope he thanked the robot. I could not tell.

[Tut58]

You haven't lived until you've needed a stapler.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

And when they turned the camera off STAIR showed his "special" skill and the real reason it was created... sick!

[canihazbroccoliplz]

lol! all that trouble just to staple some papers

[insanity54]

I say just throw a RFID tag on the stapler so Mr. STAIR doesn't have to search for the thing for so darn long!

[nickp1987]

I think that's missing the point of the entire exercise.

[insanity54]

Very true. I guess I am just impatient for technology to advance. I want robots do do my bidding now! And do it fast! :P

[jamescatania]

If you know you'll need the stapler, ask for it before you start writing your thesis, so when it's ready you will have the stapler next to you.

[flowerfangirl]

.......Or get the stapler yourself rather than wait 5 or 6 minutes for something that would take you 17 seconds to get....
