  • "it stands up and continues its task" of flling over breaking and finding each other and repeating

  • "it stands up and continues it's task"

  • Fantastic

  • Fantastic

  • aww they're so cute :3

  • did someone just get fucked at 1:21?

  • REPLICATORS!!!!!!

  • T - 1000 : Beginning

  • i have a feeling they will kill the guy that kicked them

  • Do not make em too many, they could start killing everyone...

  • 3:05 even they laugh

  • 2:13 UNCALLED FOR, SIR!

  • Precursor to the T1000!

  • I want one.

  • 03:00 epic fail

  • *guy comes and kicks it apart and throws each one in different directions*

    *20 years later they come back together* "Hey were back"

    *car comes along and runs them over*

    * 5 years later they become an action figure*

  • @dake222 No, they get stuck in holes and run out of battery power.

  • @jacobbonzo That was a good animation.

  • they remind me of creepers lol

  • I love how they start laughing at the end, and then the one guys says 'Oh God..." Made my day.

  • at 2:50 the robot got a boner

  • In 50 years, robots will cite 0:20 as the reason they destroyed humankind.

  • XD ah man the end was funny <3 but hey work is to be done that is how science and tech goes constantly on its way forward ^^

  • Lol how at the end it DIED!!

  • make a virtual game machine

  • with about 10 more years you could make human robots like chobits anme

  • I feel like I'm watching robo-porn.

  • it's liquid man's great grandpa!

  • Then one day.

    "Screw it, I give up on this project"

    *Breaks up and throws it in bin*

    2 Years later, a giant robot comes to his house.

    "YOU THREW ME AWAY WHEN I WAS A BABY"

  • it's megazord prototype

  • Pretty amazing and scary.

  • kinda creepy in a way.

  • @jacobbonzo thats exactly what i was thinking of when i saw this, love that movie

  • Frightening !!!

    First step toward self conciousness.

    Hope they apply Assimov laws ...

  • transformers, this is how it begins!

  • epic face plant lol..........

  • It"s like the Iron Giant.

  • I smell teh iron giant :|

  • external "disturbance"

  • This is like a prototype of Iron Giant!

  • early T-1000 prototype...not as scary as one would think...

  • VERY impressive ... right up until the last few seconds.

    Keep working on it. We want MORE!

  • @Goohuman what u want more

  • @TheFlightlover .. of? ... I want more great ideas. More work on this idea. MORE ROBOTS!

    I see great potential in robots.

  • At 2:50, when I saw how much faster it could move when fully assembled, I thought how amazing a robot the size of a human would be.

    But at 3:00, I was all :/

  • priorities..  there may just be a military application for this waste of time and energy..

  • So it wasn't cause we blotted out the sun to starve them of power, it's because we kicked them in the Netherregions! :) Great video.

  • Cluster orgy :p

  • It's like the terminator!

  • 3:01 OMG THAT WAS HILARIOUS LOL

  • This video would be much more funny without the title and commentary.

  • lol what was this bot's task? to fall and reassemble its self?:p

  • wata duch kickt that poor robo

  • that was kinda SLOW

  • After successful self reassembly, it stands up and continues it's task.... NOT!!! Your narration of what actually happened kind of sucks, buddy.

  • @tpstrat14 Maybe its task was committing suicide.... lol

  • @tpstrat14 you poor humorless imbecile

  • @plumsypie lol

  • 143 people do not welcome our new robotic overlords.

  • Comment removed

  • hahah theyre docking

  • 3:01= CRAP!!!!!

  • he lolzd at 3:05

  • man this srsly reminds me of the terminator.

  • @jjvictor66 with one huuuge difference, the AI sucks

  • "..and continues its task.." *flop*

  • Epic FAIL

  • gravity? didn't get that part >_>

  • That's scary imagine this in a terminator.

  • I like the way they move, it's cute.

  • its like in the movie E.T.

  • This is the same idea as the liquid robot from terminator, I forgot the name, but it is based on microscopic robotic modules that can move in ways to take different shapes, and appear as one big robot

  • Aware...of the MIGHTY CATERPILLAR-ROBOT!!!

  • "After successful reassembling , the system stands up and continues its task ."

    *THUMP* *Breaks apart*

    Hahahahahaha that made my day ....

  • @MrApproximity lol right

  • Fear...

  • I guess you can either build a robot that will rebuild it, or just make one that can't be broken.

    Haha, that is really cool though

  • and so, synthetics history begins... we only need about 1830 more programs to achieve sentience and pure awesomness, considering we already got 3 (thumbs up if you get the refference)

  • 1:21 !!! they r watching porn!!!! lol

  • @CHD1130 Hahaha.

  • I was expecting a bigger kick. Kinda reminds me of The Iron Giant.

  • skynet......it begins

  • What if one is on the ground but one is on a table?

  • I want to be the guy that kicks it..!!

    =)

  • but will it blend?

  • After self re-assembly, the system stands up and continues it's task. *falls over* WTF??? AFTER 3 HOURS OF WAITING FOR IT TO REGROUP!!!!!

    lolz

  • @Robloxaynia I guess you think Rome was built in a day, eh?

  • @HeavyMechanics Good point

  • does anyone agree that this is waaaaayy too slow? i'd be way too impatient waiting for it to reassemble.

  • ooh lol i wanna buy all of these cool robots OH YEAH THERE SOOO COOL LOLOL XD it wouild be a good christmas present lol xD

  • does it do anything else?

  • Am I the only one who finds this shit creepy?

  • @CDGMuzik Me too man.

  • I want one D:

  • ...and after reassembly it continues it's task *falls over and breaks* LOL

  • looks like a primitive version of the T 1000

  • this robot tell the future robots of the abuse inflicted by thier fleshy masters. "they used to kick us apart for fun!"

  • source code please.

  • The system stands up and continues it's task... of falling over.

  • It continues it's task... At least in theory....

  • lol what the whed you kik me you jerk

  • "After self reassembly the sistem stands up and continues it task... DO A BARREL ROLL!!"

  • # sex robot

  • T1000

  • this combined with the quadrocopter from penn's grasp laboratory could really kill us all. time to start building an underground bunker :DDD

  • "We killed it... We finally killed it!"

    "Wait... It's still moving!"

    "Omg! RUN!"

  • we are now closer to robots that will not DIE (unlessl it self destructs)

  • love the ending XD

  • lol his task is to destroy him self

  • It's a beautiful family of three!

  • Yay, the born of the T-1000.

  • "after successful self reassembly, the system stands up, and continues its task" ...(FACEPLANT)

  • awesome and funny

  • Its task is to destroy itself?

  • slow ass robots :)

  • This is the grandfather of replicants from Stargate!

  • AhhHHhhhhH!!!

    Kill it!!!

    KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!

  • Very interesting. AI will live up to its promise one day. It could be dangerous too. However, I think it will be good in general.

  • o meu feito de ima eh melhor q issu

  • 0:20 I've had enough of this shit XD

  • TETRIS!

  • Quite a bit of paranoia on this comments board. The advantages of robots that can piece themselves back together outweigh the possible dangers. You would have to PROGRAMME a robot to do harm, so as long as we don't do that, life will be made easier by robots. It's not the technology that should be feared, but the agenda of human beings that use technology for murder

  • @Iamthenoi No its the fact that robots replace to many workers and will cause huge job losses and poverty. EG. My buddy works at the Ford plant where I live and there is an area where all the lights are turned off and robots work. Typically that wouldve been 113 jobs for HUMANS. And how long do you think it would take to program a robot to do harm by some nut bar, or a program that allows the robot to write its own program or for it to be hacked or infected with a virus etc etc.

  • @dinglenutzz Yep and this will continue to happen. It is both more profitable and more productive to have automated labour. Or, in an attempt to keep up employment, suffer production loss. What's truely sick is society is set up so its bad if we design technology to do our jobs, as we lose earning power. Instead it should be set up so when a robot can do our job we go "Woohoo" I can do something else.

  • @Iamthenoi If you watch their video on robots with a mind of their own, think about that technology combined with this. Creepy.

  • @club559 Or a robot that could rescue you half way up a mountain all on its own. Just because you give a robot AI doesn't mean it'll come up with ways to destroy us. Parameters are limited to what you set them, and its up to humans to make robots that eithr save lives or take them, nothing to do with the robot. And if, IF, robots were somehow fully AI, don't you think violence is a rather stupid and outdated behaviour. I think a clever robot would work that out, even if humans can't

  • You'd think HAL, The Terminator, Replicators from Stargate, The Matrix, etc etc would have tought us important lessons. But no, instead they're INTENTIONALLY making robots that can self-reassemble, decieve humans, and pretty much every single thing we would never want them to do.

    Good job guys. Good job killing humanity. Hope you enjoy your Nobel Prize when you're a battery.

  • It's like you punch it and go to sleep... And in the morning they'll be in one piece xD

  • robots will one day take over!!!!

  • that is so freaky

  • After successful self re-assembly, the system stands up and continues its task... of falling over and disassembling itself.

    But great work! I think we'll see some interesting stuff from these guys in the future. :)

  • Were they freaking communicating with each other through light??

  • @Paralelepipedo00

    I'd think radio waves would be much more effective.

  • @progressthruscience

    I´d think so. But those twinkling lights made me think they were transmitting some sort of information...

  • IT'S ALIVE!

  • reminds me of the iron giant, anyone remember that movie

  • @ThatTrophyGuy :( i was going to say that, lol

  • @ThatTrophyGuy I FREAKING LOVE THAT MOVIE!

  • @ThatTrophyGuy Best animated movie of it's time!

  • @ThatTrophyGuy

    loved that movie

  • @ThatTrophyGuy i was just going to write that :P

  • @ThatTrophyGuy that is my favorite movie!

  • @ThatTrophyGuy OMG i love that movie

  • It's been programmed to hunt down and kill Sarah Connor... Well by the time it reassmbles it may be looking to hunt down and kill John Connor.

  • @omar104 By the time it gets organized, it will have to settle for killing John Connor's great-grandchild twice removed.

  • Ambitious little bugger

  • dude, this.. was... cool !! and fun xD

  • It was so smart until the very last second.

  • They thought this up after watching the iron giant film.

  • like watching paint dry
