  • Chores are exersice lol

  • I want a robot hottie in my household. I'm a creepy loser and I love banging pure metal with a pair of huge tits and a smile to die for. After we have "sex" she can take her place as the budding overlord of the Earth, becoming the dominant women before choking me to death. As I am a submissive man, I would become an expendable resource when she realises that she wants a greater challenge in her journey to destroy humanity.

  • Welp, it's official. we've officially created the T-1000

  • Where can I buy that?

  • Cute

  • I have one word for you: Cylons!

  • i have my own murder bot

  • 1:54 Robot uses Meditate App to enjoy a relaxing afternoon

  • be pretty crap if you needed a robot to save you and you shout

    "SAVE ME!"

    "There's an app for that, do you wish to download?"

  • i personally think fat lazy people (majority of americans) are going to buy this

  • hay guys skynet called they want there T1 back

  • the future will be here soon, no longer will the world be run by industries, but by open source projects looking to make the world more comfortable for everyone, advancing and innovating each step on their way to said future.

    ...

    I hope

  • next stop, world domination ^^

  • those robots are pretty awesome :d

  • your videos are so cool guys.

  • Coolness! The real innovation is the hardware platform, not its efficacy.

  • the biggest problem I think with domestic robots is speed, the technology exists for robots to be able to do advance tasks, but they just can't do it faster than humans

  • @iknowmy3table so then the technology doesn't exist yet eh?

  • Personal computers changed the world.  Personal robots will change the world again. I'm looking forward to the future.

  • @Excruci0 me to the technology been cool from the 2000s and now 2010s be a little more futuristic....the Future is now!

  • @Excruci0 lol. 

  • There has to be some way of giving the visual processor enough input without explicitly memorizing every point on a surface with a laser scanner. It's such an excess of information that no biological system ever needs.

  • @Digeridude Its a problem I solved over ten years ago, unfortunately the solution involved having a working strong AI system behind the vision processor. The problem with most current systems is that they lack the basic intelligence needed to make full vision work. I could say more but it is kind of commercially sensitive. :)

  • WillowGarage has their own youtube account with many videos of these robots.

    Check em out.

  • a robot that runs on linux i see

  • This is a terrific idea.

  • Coming soon, the murder app for your personal robot.

  • how do companies like these make money?

  • @bfg2600 My guess would be patents...

  • @bfg2600 grants?

  • #FAIL

  • #Skynet

  • bulky

  • cool

  • I would be worried that it might try and pull my head off while I was asleep.

  • Cool, i might join the programming projects :)

  • @topphemelig :) DO IT!! The more brains at work, the faster it'll happen.

  • ROBOT FISTPUMP AT END :D

  • AWESOME idea!

  • you cant fuck a robot on the cutting table.. think i ll stick to real woman.

  • open source robot.... nice idea

  • I cant wait until some big company like Sony, Microsoft or Apple will release a robot with some sort of AI, example, you dont like it quiet in the night and is a little light fear. When you goto bed, it comes to you and asks "Would you like me to stay up protecting you? Or do you want me to goto sleep?"... *Sigh* it would be perfect for kids :)

  • I want a house Robot!

  • yes! this is what i believed would be a much more efficiant way for robots to learn. glad to see someone is implementing these techniques.

  • It's sooo cute!

  • @DistrictSin i hope they don't make this too open for the public, like it's good for old or handicapped people that can't take care of themselves but to everyone else they don't need one

  • I wish there was a love button, cause this is sweet!

  • hahah kill neighbours xD

  • i guess people can program him to kill the neighbours too :(

  • 1 step closer to robots taking over mankind

  • It's the 1950's space age all over again.

  • 1:50 Last 12 seconds are funny!

  • Awsum ! Great idea i hope it will work :) And there will be fast BOOM with robots like with computers in 90'

  • Go the PR2!

  • *giggle* his name is Eric Burger....

  • Super interesting.

  • I volunteer my house as a test lab, PPPLLLEEASSEEE

  • Science = Robots = Awesome.

  • this shits creeping me out! lol =S

  • lol, at the end the robot is like "YES! I plugged myself in! I'm awesome!"

  • i would die to program one of these lol!

  • Mr. Handy ! Fuck-Yeah!

  • this will be a breakthrough

  • That... That is cool.

  • The average household will never be able to afford on of these. This is being developed for the self-proclaimed elite...

  • @fatalist6o9

    Ummm when competition sees the profit margins of this robot... there will be competition and lower prices. Everyone will have one, one day.

  • @KurzLuppii It will cost shitloads. Not many rich people. They would have to get a new generation of 10p a week slave children in a poor country to mass produce these on the cheap. Technology like this is always monopolized by the rich or the military.

  • @fatalist6o9

    Cost shitloads at first.

    ... Stop making up situations about child labor, they don't have the expertise for building robots.

    Just like HD TV's were really expensive.

    Or computers were horribly expensive.

    Both of which came down in price with competition.

    Competition and greater efficiency will bring down the prices.

  • @KurzLuppii Computers are a bit different to robots. My computer might have windows 7 but it doesn't go and make me a fucking cup of tea!

  • @fatalist6o9

    Heh... I guess you have no sense of history.

  • @KurzLuppii Not sure what that's supposed to mean.

  • @fatalist6o9

    Basically you don't know history.

    The effects of Capitalism on prices.

    The advance of Technology.

    What else... I could go on I think I made my point.

    Btw who is to say the50 million lines of code that makes up Win 7 isn't complicated?

  • @fatalist6o9

    What was very expensive back then is now affordable. I'm pretty sure a household robot will be no different.

  • @majomask Why the fuck doesn't everyone own their own tanks, choppers, jet fighters and nuclear bombs yet then?

  • @fatalist6o9

    Since... its mainly against the law...

    Plus there few companies and most of the research is done by the government (Not very efficient folks).

    The economies of scale never happens since most of these specialized equipment sees specialized action. Which means you don't need to make many of them.

  • -.- obvious answer..

  • Competition is the key for a lower price, you have a choice to either pay it on site or finish your payment monthly. I doubt that these things would cost so much in the future that only millionaires and whatnot could buy them.

  • @fatalist6o9

    This sounds exactly like what was said about computers some 30 years ago.

  • @Maldark404 Computers are a bit different to robots. My computer might have windows 7 but it doesn't go and make me a fucking cup of tea!

  • @fatalist6o9 You are a dumbass. Please don't reproduce, for the sake of humanity.

  • @flotsamthespork Shame on you. You hurt my feelings...

  • This is awsome. That 3d laser stuff is way beter than having the robot try and see the world like we do whats the point of trying to desipher and photo when you can desipher a 3d model of the environment much easier

  • This thing can't go up our steps. They might want to put some legs or something like the ibot has.

  • Wow! Open source robot. That's wonderful. Best way to improve and innovate.

  • id prefer a walking mini-fridg to follow me but i guess a robot will have to do

  • After ASIMO most other robots seem kinda lame. Honda set the bar really, really high. They cemented the fact that we are attracted to bi-pedal cuties that do awesome tricks.

  • @Clausfarre

    Why, cause he got feet? These are household robots, there are only two kinds of terrains in a house, floors and stairs. In all actuality, you don't need feet to go down stairs, a simple inventive wheel system on this robot could make it able to go down stairs, and I'm sure that the developers will implement such a thing at a later stage. Feet's got the ability to walk over almost all surfaces, but it's not necessary to implement it on this robot, it would just slow development.

  • @fuunguus For stairs, you could just use three four-pointed "stars" with two in the back and one in the front.

  • It plugs itself in. It better get a job to pay for the electric bill.. that could be a new app!

    ~Dragon

  • itll plug itself in but fucking pray if it ever encounters stairs

  • I still prefer the Honda robots.

  • 3D will probably advance domestic robots ( distance )

  • Im sort of a researcher... Give me one!

  • thats really amazing and im glad people are coming together to work on it.

  • PLUG ITSELF IN!!! thats some wicked stuff, it can feed itself!

  • I'm glad they are tackling this. Household chores are such a burden to so many incapacitated people. This technology will surely lead to more personal freedom and happiness for humanity.

  • Haha it even plugs itself in, thats awesome

  • Rosey!!

  • this is a great idea

  • Platform could be smaller, the first thing I wanted to do was give it legs.

  • You know, Wall-E had a moral.....

  • yay for open source & my new robot friend

    A.W.E.S.O.M.E.- o !

  • When they can make themselves that's handy.

    When they can improve themselves - that's TERMINATOR...

  • They will probably teach it to "accidently" key the niehbors car for beeing a jerk.

  • And soon people are gonna program their own robots... to shoot other people. I hope the 3 laws of robotics apply XD

  • open source for robots. what a great idea.

  • ah yes... the beginnings of cyberdyne systems

    skynet is open source!

  • This is so cool. Kudos to these guys for making it open source.

  • interesting

  • This is really cool! :O

  • Have sex with my wife. Is there an app for that pls?

  • @CognosSquare actually, for the iphone, there is. There is an app that just makes your iphone vibrate. The rest you can fill in yourself :) But be careful, the iphone is not waterproof!

  • @Niosus thx now I just need to find an app for post-coitus bonding :(

  • I. WANT. ONE!

  • @squee152 you know what i was thinki by the time this clip ended? what a waste of talent, of man hours. of resources, of materials. what a fuckin waste.

  • @oojamaflipper I'm kind of thinking you're a waste of resources too. :/

  • @pgdevil wacka wacka!

  • @oojamaflipper Sentiment confirmed.

  • what a waste of fuckin money.

  • oh come on...if they're going to make future cleaning robots then they have to start somewhere..

  • @Abgef exactly my point. people are starving, waste, pollution and hate is everywhere and these stupid fucks want to make cleaning robots..

    USE A FUCKIN DISHCLOTH!!

  • scientific progress shouldn't have to wait in line cause a bunch of people are having their problems...you could say the same thing when computers were being built.

  • @Abgef these efforts could be put to good use. the money and time and resources and materials being poured into this (and more worryingly the huge potential increase should they get mass produced in the future) is a friggin waste.. i mean come on..cleaning robots? we're already the laziest fuckin society on the face of the earth..

  • think about it...if robots are the ones cleaning then we can do more activities instead of consuming time manually cleaning things.

    If people are more driven to experiment on this than helping starving kids then let them...it's less wasteful than doing nothing & complaining on youtube.

    & besides it's not really a waste if it ends up helping people in the future...scientific progress is progress & it shouldn't have to wait cause there will always be worldly issues like people starving to death.

  • @Abgef lmao! u think THATS what people will do with this extra time? u dont think it'll just be used as more leisure time?

    how do u know im doing nothing u sanctamonius... breath... and relax..

    i dont have to tell u what i do for a living but its not too far off from what u said there.

  • you don't know what people will do with the extra time so pls stop assuming that everyone is just going to spend it all on leisure.

    if it can give people extra time then isn't that already a good thing? it's like they're now given more time to enjoy their lives or do something else more productive than cleaning.

  • @Abgef You are completely right some people are just dumb.

  • @Shalek The majority of people are dumb. It's always been like that. If you're smart, exploit that to your advantage.

  • @oojamaflipper What do you propose should be done with this money that is not yours?

  • @pgdevil given to me so that it is mine.

  • @oojamaflipper You're very immature, no wonder you're comments reflect an uninformed and uneducated viewpoint.

  • @oojamaflipper i daresay you'd have said the same thing about computers when they were first being built.

  • @thepigofhappiness nope. this is clearly different.

  • @oojamaflipper I thought this would be right up your alley oojamaflippedout. This research into AI can be implemented in inemndhams VR when he takes over the world, kills the jews and forces everyone else into computers so that he isnt the only one living a worthless and pathetic life.

  • @Aspartame69 ha

  • When you finish playing the little robot with your friends let me know, I know how to lead the technology... The God of Humanoid Robots!

  • oh man...I want a really hot female robot capable of giving the best blowjobs & a built in synthetic vagina/anus that lubricates itself with sex jelly...

  • @Abgef Someone doesn't know how to handle a woman

  • Ive had sex before...but I don't have the skills to get laid like a rockstar...it takes time to learn such things

  • SPAM!

  • i wont stop until these robots kill people

  • I programmed my robot to walk my dog every morning.

  • open the pod bay doors HAL

  • Haha, these things are going to take over the world!

    But seriously, this is great. A tribute to the technological triumphs of the 20th century!

  • I cannot do that, dave.

  • Amazing.

  • opensource does it again :)

  • @Niosus Indeed! :) A "Windows" driven robot would be "down" half the time downloading updates. Also prone to software vulnerabilites. :)

  • @upallhours9 If it catches a virus it could murder you in your sleep!

    Next up: An airplane driven by windows gives the BSOD a whole new context!

  • I am quite impressed with the open source single platform way of advancing.

    ...because fuck you corporate greed.

  • WOW!

  • awesome! :D i want one !

  • isn't it cheaper to hire a mexican then get a robot ? ??

  • @TheDivineCellphone yes but arizona wont be able to deport a robot

  • @rob0is0god but it can incarcerate the white people who hired them

  • That is soooo cool....

  • nice

  • 1st !

  • 1 st for real !!!!

  • i want one
