  • Incredible work :D another SERIOUS 2 legged robot :D

  • that is soooooo beast

  • just like a mech from mass effect 2

  • I want a better version of this one. Hurry!

  • A Perfectly good use of millions of dollars while people starve.

  • anybody thinking star wars episode 1 droids? just add a gun!

    

  • @95kemp Lmao i really did misunderstood.

  • @95kemp iROBOT SUCKED..terminator is good.

  • But will it blend?

  • The thing that scares me, like really scares me about robots is the fact that technology ALWAYS follows science fiction. Every single baby step made by roboticists has been done before the exact same way by some crappy novel/movie. They got it all the way down to the way this thing dances.

    And they all end up the same way, some fatal flaw making the machines attack.

  • what was with the idol poses and karate stance. japan is great apparently

  • the name sounds like HERPIE HAHAHA i dont think anyone will want herpie wandering about their homes

  • Okay but when will they become useful?

  • @dusk1234567890 Not for at least another ten years. Technology takes time to advance to a completely cost-efficient and practical state. This is just like the evolution of cell phones, computers, and virtually everything else humans have created. All it takes is just a little time and effort, and the benefits will eventually shine through.

  • In 10 to 15 years they are going to be mass produced

  • I like him better when he was called ASIMO

  • so it begins...

  • tens of millions of dollars spent on the rich does help the poor. Who do you think pays their salary? Not to mention the creation of jobs products like this entail.

  • 00:30 - teabag

  • It may be modeled after a thin athlete, but when it first stepped out I was more reminded of the CGI Tetra Vaal police robot despite the lack of head fins/antennas.

    (I think the comments aren't letting me post the link, search YouTube)

  • KILL ALL HUMANS

    

  • are they equipped with the tree basic laws of robotics?

  • If they learn it to use a gun.. we're screwed

  • amazingly done.... i see a PHD in every joint. funny thing people who obviously dont have the slightest clue about knowledge and science give themselves the permission to comment.

  • They are really getting there o_o. Keep up the hard work!

  • @botswanky You act as if all of Japan's scientists are ONLY working on robots. This is your perception only because robots are more popular (visible) online than more esoteric scientific advances.

  • @botswanky I think it is pretty pretentious of you to say that. Robotics has the potential to help mankind achieve incredible things and there are many breakthroughs coming that will save millions of lives. Robotics will have a huge impact on war, transportation, space exploration, health care, and agriculture. But according to your line of thinking, we should stop spending money on it because the breakthroughs haven't yet occurred.

  • @plasticpals1 It's ok up to a point, beyond that it's just an escapist fantasy as there are far to many other issues that need to be addressed if mankind has any hope for a brighter future. "Robotics will have a huge impact on war, transportation, space exploration, health care, and agriculture". These problems will not be resolved by robotics or any other form of advancements in technology. A fundamental problem will always be there, as history proves, we lack the ability to rule ourselves.

  • @botswanky I rather have them spend money on robotics than giving money to 3rd world country with corrupt governments which will use the money we send for weapons and increasing the tyranny. Recent example is Haïti. And where do you get the IDEA that it will be for Rich 1st world people?! Are you from africa living in a bamboo hut with almost nothing to eat and fight every day to stay alive?! Or are you just another 1st world citizen who loves to Troll on youtube pretending to give a fuck? GTFO

  • @botswanky

    perhaps you should stop wasting all the money you spend on luxury products and give it to the poor? The money needed for the development of this kind of technology pales in comparison to the money spent on developing cosmetics or dog food. This tech actually has the potential to help people. I am guessing you are one of those people that thinks the space program is a waste of money? This kind of technological exploration always produces benefits you can't predict in advance.

  • @botswanky The solution to global misery is not to cut spending on robotics, but to kill politicians. Besides, robotics can help lift many impoverished people from the dirt that they are in by performing tedious tasks and allowing those who live in harsher conditions to spend more time on education and improving their lives.

  • @botswanky Not unless you are secretly trying to build an army of machines for conquest

  • @botswanky

    what a weird mindset. How about the millions that are spent in the USA on NASCAR each year? Does racing cars around a racetrack contribute anything to society except mindless fun and atmospheric pollution?

    How about monster truck rallies? The total amount spent on robotics is probably a fraction of what is spent on baseball player salaries.

  • @skr2k Yes, I agree with you.

  • @botswanky if you're so concerned about poverty why don't you do something about it instead of assuming others will do it for you?

  • @botswanky who said they were trying to fix human suffering? Stupid greenie

  • @botswanky While I do agree with your remark on Japan getting its priorities right with making robots for the rich, your comment on there suicide rate is actually a culture issue. Suicide is considered a way out of certain problems and issue one might not want to have to face. We in the west might call it stupid or even cruel for the reasons people kill themselves in Japan they however, do not. Honour of oneself and family, saving face and respect can mean very different things in Japan. 

  • @botswanky technology does indeed fix human suffering, it improves our standard of living and its complete tasks more efficiently.

  • @botswanky Imagine a fireman that can't burn. A nuclear worker imune to radiation. A deep sea diver who needs no air. Open posibilities?

  • @DouglasMiles1 imagine the day when that fireman realizes its stronger and faster than its own creator

  • @TMANIMPROVED your confusing AI with physical abilities. What I was refering to is more like a waldo setup. A waldo is more like a remote control with some autonomy. A human firefighter with his years of experience would suit up in a set of sensors and manipulators. The human would decide where to move and what actions to take and the robot would perform the actions. The advantage, besides keeping the human safe, would be that the robot would be able to work in enviroments unreachable otherwise.

  • @TMANIMPROVED what you are thinking of is an andriod, not a robot. If it becomes possible to create a self aware thinking inteligence in the future, not having robots would not be a problem for it if it wished to do harm. Think of how many times a day your life depends on computers working properly. Now imagine if an AI exists which has access to those computers and it wishes harm. Planes fall out of the sky, elevators drop, reactors go critical, cars accelerate out of control. Bad enough?

  • @DouglasMiles1 Good example of a modern waldo, youtube search for Sarcoman Robot Dancing

  • @DouglasMiles1 thx for explaining i kinda get it now

  • @botswanky Hate to break it to you, but utilitarianism is fundamentally flawed as a basis for morality (maybe you should look it up just in case). Society cannot progress without pioneering advances. Of course, there are very few companies that actually do stuff like this, and many more people working on the day-to-day. Just enjoy the shiny robot and stop trying to bring everyone else down.

  • @botswanky lmao botswanky the pessimistic Luddite idiot. Stop commenting on these videos if you have problems with the advancement of technology.

  • After 5yrs of helping suicidal youths not take their lives in Japan. I feel that I'm in a fine position to have made such a comment. And robotics is just one part of technological advancement, your blanket insult of my comment is idiotic and childish.

  • @botswanky Uh no you are not "in a fine position" to make comments like "being spent in this almost pointless field" and "study of robotics is fine to a point, beyond that it's pretentious." You are an absolute moron with no knowledge of the field of Robotics and you should definitely stop trolling these videos. Oh, and I do have a degree in this field, from MIT no less.

    Goodbye.

  • @karim3343 Absolute moron huh? too bad studying at MIT hasn't done anything for your manners. And dealing in very real human misery DOES put me a fine position, you know why? Because I live in reality & see first hand were we should invest our time and money, and it sure as hell ain't robotics. btw, posting a comment on robotics over a year ago does not make one a troll, but I guess it makes it easier to undermine me doesn't it. Anyway, good luck with your utopian fantasy.

  • I wonder when the japanese are going to start basing their software off dynamic internal control. They're great at making a robot move in a realistic fashion, but they need to make it able to figure it out on its own. That way they can say "go over there," instead of "bend knee -21 degrees, bend hip +10.5 degrees,...etc., etc., etc., etc.."

  • I like the bulkier design of the hrp-3's better, this one looks really delicate, great mobility, though.

  • Good luck taking over the world with these, their batteries last for under an hour.....

  • At around 3:42 he lost track on the ball, and by the look on his face he must have seen some really nice tits on the audience.

  • Did anyone else imagine 100 000 of this walking like this in lines over a waist-land of human skulls?

  • This thing is truly amazing...I'd have to say this is one of the most compact humanoids I've seen in a while. Most of them look so bulky.

    Now they just need to work on the brains and brawn. More smarts, more speed, more strength. I think they're otherwise almost there.

  • All it needs is mechanical commands to move objects from one place to another, and we have ourselves the complete blueprint and working model for automated workers. Than you have free-energy, and you have free-automated workers.

  • give in a gun , and ship this robot in iraq -.-" fullidiots

    beautiful new world ordner

    @LeftBehind2009

    u have right !...

  • HOOO  GOOD BALANCE XP NEXT FUTURE

  • Every time it walked to the screen I kept thinking "Shoot it!" I've never feared robots till I saw these. Now it's iRobot all over again! Shoot it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Keep that shyt over there!!! We breaks up toys over here!!!

  • place dialouge somewhere in the video

  • i wonder what the white one in the back can do

  • @DuMa10000 That's the HRP-3 -- go to their YouTube channel and watch videos of it yourself at channel: KTIKawadaGroup.

  • @DuMa10000 the white one is combat type which job is to kill all humans

  • See while ya'll are buisy developing robots that dance and include horribly inefficent things like legs we americans will build armies of assualt mecha.

    All your bases are belong to us.

  • Can we all say:  CYLON

  • @BaronsPhotography It has a slightly off walk, but they will get it right soon!

  • I kept waiting for that thing to turn its head swiftly and say "stop, criminal!" Fortunately, it didn't see me. 

  • Now all it has to do is be programed to do routine jobs. Physical routines are more important than dancing. I say 10 years.

  • I wonder if anyone has thought of wrapping this guy inside a rubber sex doll. Just a thought.

  • They need to build this several hundred feet high, and take a stroll through NYC.

  • And they have a plan....

  • I love how our imagination of the future is comming closer, Robotics will provide the world with a work force (slaves) . Biotechnology will extend our lives by 200 years and cure all desieses. Comersial flights into space are begining to pop up. I am really excited about our future. lets just hope we don't blow ourselves up before we get to technilogial maturity...

  • @wario22 comming, desieses, comercial, beginining, technilogial... i like your future vision of the english language!

  • @Mar1n - no worries, the robots will do his spelling for him! They'll cook and clean and feed and bathe him.... they'll go to his job and do his work... so he can sit on a couch and play Halo for 275 years!

  • 人形ロボット。たいしたもんですね。

  • COOL!!!

  • i see the birth of Gundams!

  • @grimnight

    any robot as big as a gundam would not be able to support it's own weight...

  • @n1bigdaddy was true in 1970, now we have carbon fibre.

  • No srsly: I remember when we couldn't get robots to walk on two feet without falling,

    now they can stand on one and perform other balancing tasks. This is amazing!

  • I for one welcome our new robot masters!

  • robots = the end of the hhuman race...

  • Japanese thinks robot is a friend.

    American thinks robot is a soldier.

  • Give it guns! And a trench coat plus a strap-on to intimidate people. No one will mess with a gun-toting flasher.

    Give it the ability to be recharged by lasers from blimps above the cities. Or maybe just let VTOL-UAVs swap out their batteries as needed.

    Have it equipped with pepper spray, artificial skunk spray, Tasers and a healthy dislike of anarchists and dirty hippies.

  • This one dances with you before it executes its prime directive of twisting your head off.

  • @rrg019000 Not possible. Only has a grasping force of 0.5kg.

  • @plasticpals1 That's Enough Pressure To Push The Fire Key On A Scalar Weapon. We've Come A Long Way, But These Droids Are The Beginning Of Major Trouble. In The End, Metal Trumps Flesh And Machinery Can Proceed The Mind By Which It Was Built. Quote Me.. Cool Vid.

  • Comment removed

  • It looks like a 6 year old could take it in a fight. I wont be impressed until a robot can take on one 12 year old or 2 5 year olds. Because that's where bipedal human robots will first reach their most use. In the coming 4-13 year old wars.

    You've been warned.

  • awesome

  • shouldn't be long now till we see a major advancement in robotics

  • Why do I feel the need to kill it by dropping it into molten steel..

  • @BZilliA because your afriad, a coward!

  • @JUKIO01 Do you mean "you're"... No worries bro.

  • @BZilliA DO IT BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!! :D

  • sex robot

  • THE TERMINATOR!

  • herp-4

  • Quite dexterous! I didn't take note of the position number, but the scene where the bot is approaching the camera is a little unnerving! All it is doing is walking, but I got the feeling that I needed to defend or flee! I think I'm going to want my bots a foot or so shorter to compensate for that.

  • It's got great flexibility and balance and is quite mobile. But I see no practical use for it yet. As far as I know, someone off stage was manipulating everything, anyway, which just makes it a big, radio controlled power ranger. I wish I could scratch that far up my back, though.

  • When will they make robots that do all of the work for us humans so i can just sit on my ass and play video games?

  • I Robot movie isnt that far fetched after all..

  • say goodbye to the flesh bound body.

  • POWER RANGER!

  • Oh damn... that's scary

  • WORLD DOMINATION!!!!

  • Can't wait until they are so evolved that people will start to discriminate against them. It will happen, you know it will!

  • @TheDFanatic Yea.... 100% agree... that's our human tendency...

  • @TheDFanatic it will end human discrimination towards each other. we will all have a common enemy now. but i for one welcome the robots

  • Beautiful version. What balance.

  • "Bow before me, puny fleshbags! Judgement day is upon you! Resistance is futile! You will all be my slav...OH SHIT!! YOU'RE HUGE!!! BZZZGHLARHXZZZ00100101001" *Short circuits*

  • @NeuroTheory You're from Digg, aren't you?

  • wow! he's looking great!

  • wow!

  • he mustve good processors for the balance.. Wow my brain is awesome!!!
