  • THEY TOOK OUR JOBS

  • interesting...

  • Incredible!!! mama mia, a flying robot building a wall!!!! hehehe

  • I'm not advocating the use of robotics, I was simply suggesting that if those who ran the world weren't so greedy and without conscience then robots would have been around long ago and people could pursue their dreams and live happier lives by now.

    The way it is right now, robots will be used only for the benefit of the wealthy when they deem it to be a better, more cost-effective, and more efficient solution than slave-driving.

  • @AngryAtOwls "if those who ran the world weren't so greedy and without conscience then robots would have been around long ago and people could pursue their dreams and live happier lives by now."

    Most People dream about having sex and killing one another. What video games sell the best?

  • @abram730 ya know ppl like you who think they know whats best for every one and think they know whats ppls problems are piss me off. ppl die everyday for many diffrent reasons. video games arent causing a problem at all, ppl who kill and rape are messed up in the head and have problems. and if everyone thought sex was a problem then we wouldnt exist. plus if you asked me sex is fun and if u dont think so you were raped by your dad or cut it off.

  • @kylewest100 You don't know people like me. I'm just pointed out that games and other media are a good metric to see what people are interested in. I game for example.. not what you imagined huh. I did forget the word "just", as in only dream about.

    It's more a lack of other thinking to my point.

    As to sex.

    Some say man is made in the image of God, and they also say that image is obscenity. What is the "deductive inference" there? What are they really saying?

  • @AngryAtOwls

    Well what if they decide to give them some sort of upgrade or program them to help in the army soooo....if they do that were all screwed and plus there is a multiple of ways it could go wrong

  • great lets just do more to take jobs from people..

  • @angel72582 you could get a job building them, lol.....wait they are probably building themselves!

  • @CrazeSniper LOL if they are building themselves hopefully they can figure out how to life more then a brick one day.

  • Flying robots

  • I wonder if those bricks are real.

  • @manny2fresh713 the lady said "foam brick"

  • right.

    

  • So that's how the space aliens built the pyramids!

  • I think they could use this more effectively to build and maintain the interiors of buildings

  • I beleive someone will be chosen to be chief cause someday world will transform into Halo

  • as if the world isn't losing enough jobs

  • @weleiful Not only wind, but what about weight?

  • Well now we finally know how they built the pyramids.

  • Great! We have ATM's, kiosks, online college classes, flying robot builders and much more, More jobs lost to the machine!

  • just imagine billions of these flying around with very small particles and "glue" so you could build anything, anywhere, easily.

  • Great concept, but how about the wind factor in the real, I think wind would be an important factor

  • there goes 500000 jobs lost to the geeks

  • Now they need to do this outside where they have to factor in wind.

    Then do it without requiring IR cameras surrounding the copters.

    Then add lasers and mini rocket launchers.

  • ehhh I don't think it's gonna "take off" in terms of efficiency.

  • i knew there would be something about tetris in the real world when i saw this video

  • How much of zeitgiest 1 & 2 is BS? I dunno--but I like what they stand for. Tried looking up sites to disprove some of the things said in those videos, but all the sites that try to debunk zeitgiest movies provide no true hard fact evidence debunking anything. It's always just a well convincing paragraph. Logic says a lot of what zeitgiest 1 & 2 has to say is quite true and possible though. See for yourself. Fun stuff to think about if you're open minded enough.

  • Watch zeitgiest 1 & 2. They are free to watch on youtube. 2 hour long videos each. We don't need jobs anymore. The money system is corrupt. The governments don't even rule countries anymore, corporations and world banks do.  It's time for a revolution. We have the technology to create a futuristic world today where everybody can live in peace and work on sharing things they have created rather than work as slaves.

  • "They Terker Jerbs!"

    -Redneck brick mason

  • Hmmmm building on the moon will be next

  • These would be perfect for building the worlds crookedest structure's

    1:50 ......for example

  • control program known as foreman huh ... = skynet

  • Something similar was done earlier in 2011 at the GRASP Lab at U. Penn.

  • @XxDEVILSxNUGETSxX We must save john connor

  • In early 1980s people were paranoid that computers shall take over human jobs and thus create huge unemployment. No such thing ever happened, in fact computers created lacs and lacs of new jobs.

    In the age of news reporting shifting from 'what happened' to 'what is happening right now', the print media still has its circulation.

    Robots like this will also fit into their own roles in society.

  • SKYNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That will just make the economy a lot better

  • One day robot's will be the future pets!

  • *Robot bumps into the tower* *CRASH* NOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • This just in. Scientist's have created robots that will live our life for us. No need to stick around for that.

  • id feel real safe in a foam house?? wtf.. the robot would have to be huge to pick up real bricks, and what about the concrete mix? whats gonna hold the bricks together. french people....FAIL!!!

  • @CROgoreATIA dumbass

  • Can we program them to collect unemployment and foodstamps when out of work?

  • ROBOT FUTURE

  • Flying faggots will sprinkle faggot dust on your head

  • Meanwhile in Japan... 

  • As I remember, the "father" of that flying death machine in Terminator started out as an innocuous wall builder too. It's only a matter of time before the laser cannons and rail guns get fitted on next, for what the machines can build, so they can destroy--with greater efficiency... *cue Terminator music theme*

  • skynet.......

  • @370zlover23 old peculiar? 

  • theres another thousand jobs

  • 1:11 "It stays out of the way until it FEELS like it can move into the space."

    He made a robot that can FEEL? It's all over for the universe.

  • looks cute

  • Look at all these ignorant people talking about how this will remove jobs. Yeah, wow. I always aspired to be a brick stacker. Now my dreams are shattered.

    You are stupid if you honestly think this is a problem. Congratulations.

  • The robot uprising has begun! The military already has a robot that can shoot a firearm. Whats next for the downfall of humanity!?!?!

  • any1 calculated the weather here? they are building "inside a building". what would the cost be for these robots?

  • @Ianthe22 the robot itself would be pretty cheap, quadcopters like that cost under 200 bucks easily.

  • Its only a matter of time before the terminator becomes a documentary

  • they should quit wasting time and make a sex bot

  • God help us

  • r2d2 on steroids

  • It puts the lotion on it's skin.

  • No matter how they are design, they can never express Love nor make Love like Humans.

    Up humans...

  • immigrants are cheaper and faster!

  • now we just need to program them to play Tetris in the real world

  • @KalderRoel Robo tetris?

  • sounds good but not gonna happen

  • as much as liked robots, i want them to stop now, work on something that will benefit all of us, like a eevice that can transform you into a pony and back!

  • The matrix is starting...

  • Yes. Yes. Yes lets just make the possiblity of a Terminator senario even more likely. Maby they will build a nice little slave branding office for /us/.

  • In the future, we will be building for them.

  • love how the dude who built this said it is a performance and the news chick cant talk about anything but this building real buildings.

  • Yes! Good idea! Please invent more ways of creating unemployment all over the world! Today's children, adults of tomorrow, shall go thank you for this! Bastards!

  • @MrSandroPsy

    Maybe we should stop relying on a vastly outdated economic model? Oh no, we can't do that because the alternative is a scare tactic used by right-wing politicians.

  • @luminaeus i got fired twice and replaced by fully automatic man made machines and i have been through lots of financial difficulties cuz of that. who are u? the guy who builds it? the guy who fixes it? Or the guy who keeps wathing and dreaming wit all the bullshit that is going on in Discovery Channel? I know that this is the future and its inevitable, i just think its too much abusive. Now its just another way to make constrution possible wit less man hand labor? wats next? we cant handle it.

  • @MrSandroPsy well maybe if people had an education across the world we would be hired to build these robots instead of bitching of losing our jobs to them.

  • @WhatsAfterThisPlace clear. we educate everyone in the world to build robots and that's fine. understood. when will you decide to leave your parents house and come to life outside the computer? When you do, tell me. And then you help me around the world on how to be builders of robots.

  • @MrSandroPsy

    The problem isn't increased efficiency via technological advancements, the problem is our reliance on an outdated economic model.

    It's not hard to imagine a world where 80% of labor is done by machine. So what will the jobless majority do then, starve?

    I think what we'll see in the future is a necessitated shift toward more socialist, and ultimately communist systems. Either that or a downward spiral to anarchy.

  • @luminaeus There are a few different scenarios in a world where robots do most of the work. One major difference in possibilities is determined by whether they do 100% of the work, or if they only do a part of it.

    If robots do part, inequality exists; some people work, others don't. This creates classes. If robots do all, and if society owns the robots, everyone does well. Those are two general cases.

    We are already headed more towards socialism (but I would argue it's fascism not communism).

  • they have been doing this in Pennsylvania for like 2 years now

  • It's cool, but I won't be impressed until they can make all these little flying bots work without the room sensors..

  • @coldfire001 Can't have motion sensors placed around a larger structure? Seems like everything is in place for this to work on a large structure.

  • as a human I welcome our fellow robot overloards

  • i guess the buildings of the future will be made out of foam cause i doubt there will ever be a cost effective flying robot that can lift a 2 ton girder

  • @jonservo There are helicopters that can lift 20 tons. Helicopters can be manouvred by remote control. The Autopilot in newer commercial aeroplanes are fully capable of taking off, flying and landing without a pilot. And the research in new, cheaper energy sources aswell of fuel efficiency shows no sign of slowing down.

    The software these guys are working on really is the last missing piece of the puzzle.

  • @Irtehdar Like i said, i doubt there will ever be a COST EFFECTIVE fleet of flying robots designed to lift and carefully place massive girders, that will be preferable to a few cranes and workers. On a small scale this is an impressive display but scale it up beyond light foam blocks and the real world problems involved become immediately apparent.

  • skynet is coming O.O lol

  • Comment removed

  • NO NO NO THIS WILL JUST GET RID OF JOBS, jk like this shit will ever build a building?

  • @CraZeMoDz Hey they gotta start somewhere, right?

  • @CraZeMoDz you realize they can make bigger heli copters that can carry more wieght..

  • check this out>>>>>>>>>>>>>/watch?v=CPlIB­T5f2QY

  • Will the robots just kill us already....its the wait that is driving me crazy!

  • You could so modify this program to drop bricks on people in public... oh the joys of technology! lol

  • can it build me a sammich?

  • @SuperIlluminaughty Yes, they can build you a sammich.

    But they'll fuck up the difference between mayo & mustard. I guarantee.

  • paves the way for more layoffs to

  • hows it going to get the morter in between the blocks and mix the cocrete and level the line

  • And if a fire breaks out? The whole thing burns down. These robots are likely to be very stupid and will only be able to handle their basic steps they've been programmed for. Hopefully they'll trip on themselves and end up damaging themselves and whatever it is they're building BEYOND REPAIR.

    Sorta like that movie where Tom Cruise plays the dead guy on the train and they talk about how a person can go for days without being noticed that way. Collateral I think maybe it was?

    F U NWO

  • So humans want to get rid of humans ....

  • @hummudi for a quick buck, yes..

  • @hummudi stop being a paranoid fuck

  • @23tubester Stop being paranoid by my paranoia : )

  • @23tubester You're a fucking idiot. No one is being paranoid that dude only spoke the truth. Get your shit straight bro, The fact that companies could eventually market this out to various corporations that use manual labor of PAID HUMANS that have FAMILIES to FEED... Therefore leaving possibly thousands jobless in that field. It's a slow step to destruction.

  • @hummudi Soon the earth will be robots...

  • @hummudi yes indeed

  • This technology will not likely become a problem or take away from the "job market" at all, simply because the people at the top want people in the lower echelons of power to continue to waste large portions of their lives serving their masters.

    So stop worrying about construction jobs being taken by robots, it isn't happening.

  • I'm not saying work isn't good, only that most of what we call "work" nowadays would have been obsolete long ago if it weren't for the crazed sociopaths who run the planet, and most of us would be able to do things that really matter to us.

    I understand the need to feed your family, etc., that's survival, but in reality survival would be a non-issue if this type of technology had been allowed to thrive.

  • I tell u these motherfuckers never cease to amaze me. Technology does more harm than good. More job cuts coming, FUCK

  • @infamoustalent Do you know how many jobs will be required to maintain these robots, coordinate their building plans, and all that shit? don't be stupid. technology CREATES JOBS.

  • Wind makes this worthless.

  • Not if these are built larger and stronger.

  • @R3Cat thanks captain obvious

  • @djm6007 You don't need to thank me, My service was very well needed for you. c:

  • @R3Cat It doesn't matter how large or strong they may become, if it's in the air and there's wind, its effected.

  • @Ryday37 Obviously. but as how a paper airplane never survives the outdoor breeze, and a commercial airliner can fly through a hurricane, this could be made stronger to be able to handle wind too.

  • @R3Cat Are these airplanes? No. Commercial airlines will never pass through a hurricane, that would be extremely risky. Either you're misinterpreting someone saying how they can fly over storms (which a hurricane's average high is 35-55k feet, a height no commercial airliner will pass) or you heard some story of a plane doing so once. No matter what, though, even if these RC heli's can stabilize, their precision and efficiency will break in wind.

  • @Ryday37 Your an idiot if you think commercial airline pilots will not pass over 35-55K feet. They go to 60k and over sometimes. Get your facts right,

  • @tinyman12323 50k+ isn't commercial. Get your facts right,

  • The mexicans of tommorow!!

  • Still has a long way to go..

  • great now more people will lose there jobs if they finish this robot

  • Let's all go into an imminent comma and let robots control the world. (Why don't you just say that?)

  • @wolferton

    Exactly this is gonna become Skynet!see there are so many movies and stories about AI going bad and it Artificial intelagance thus don't make it because it has intelagance its not un likly that all of those movies and stories could come true

  • @Zekchrome Machines won't go out of control on their own and seek to destroy or kill people or do other evil things. Most artificial intelligence is not actually "intelligence", it's all programmed logic to make computers seem to be intelligent. They can't think for themselves (but there are algorithms which attempt to "learn"). When have you ever seen a PC lose control and start harassing you? Never.

    If computers do evil things, they were designed/used that way intentionally.

  • We dont need fucking helicopters to build walls

  • now, we are this much lazier

  • You know, this would be hulpful building colonies on other planets. lets do that.

  • wtf? wow so many ppl r going to lose thier jobs...

  • SKYNET!!!!!!!!!

  • We are becomming more like Forerunners...

  • @TheBlackEagle95 Obscure halo reference, LOVE IT!!!

  • @TheBlackEagle95 at this rate we will be them in 1000 years

  • How lazy are we that we need a robots to pick up blocks one by one instead of a team trained workers who can get the work done 3x as fast

  • @WatcherofTapes Violently missing the point. This was a demonstration of technology and new abilities. As for eliminating jobs, how many jobs do you think it will take to design, develop, and produce "builder" robots on a mass scale? How many people do you think will be required to maintain (at all levels) the mass of automated robots?

  • Construction workers everywhere don't like these robots. Soon robots and computers will do everything. The worlds economy will collapse because all of our jobs will be taken over by robots.

  • That's cool. I've long wondered when someone was going to build a brick laying robot. This is a step towards that. I don't think flying is the answer though. Bricks aren't usually made of foam. We need a robot that can lay down mortar and scrape back the excess too. It's like to see a shingle robot. Or a roof stripper robot--or even a machine. There is a lot of labor in stripping shingles off of a roof. Anything to lower housing costs is great. Construction Automation is needed.

  • ...interesting

  • don't know if they will be the builders of tomorrow but they can certainly fetch me a beer that's for sure

  • So your taking over my dads job!?

  • @R011yP011y Nearly every advancement in our quality of life has come from finding a way to eliminate somebody's job or some form of work. Sure new gadgets are great, but it's the elimination of jobs that lets us all afford them. At one point, over half of us worked on farms. Today, something like 2% of us do. All those jobs were eliminated yet we don't have 50% unemployment. We don't have steam ship coal shovelers, buggy whip makers, and few people build cars. It's wonderful.

  • @AquaticCastle Thank you. I was afraid we were at point where everyone thinks it's a bad thing to have machines doing most of the labor that humans used to have to do.

  • Anyone else wanna play Jenga?

  • World war three is going to be awesome!... aside from the pain, death and suffering, obviously. (I know, black humor, but good one)

  • THIS IS THE START OF SKYNET

  • Weren't those the same devices used for the "Chronicle" movie?

  • This type of thing wont happen anytime soon.

  • And these robots are put together brick by brick by a team of even smaller flying robots.

    ROBOT-CEPTION

  • That's all fine if your building is composed of 500g styrofoam bricks.

  • in the future robots will do everything for us. The only job a human will have will be repairing those robots.

  • @GrenadeCatcher Not even, robots will repair robots

  • @Robo120130 sweet, more time for porn

  • FUN FACTS: An android is a robot powered by it's own artificial intelligence, a mech is a mechanical suit, and a robot is a machine powered by humans. The first android debuted in circa 1967, and was named "Geo Laboratory and Diode Orbiting Science" or "GLaDOS" It was used in over 4 million, 9 hundred thousand, eight hundred, and eighty-three tests. It is believed to still test in the, now abandoned, facility known as "Aperture". Scientists have been searching for this ruin since 1993. Good day!

  • @MrItalianmustard That should be made into a vidya game with portals in it.

  • @MrItalianmustard Loooolz!

  • Have no fear, us humans will always control the power sources.

  • Well at least we keep coming up with ways for robots to replace human workers. Job crisis not solved.

  • there goes our jobs

  • @wyrmbuster Someone has got to build the robots...

  • I don't think i would trust a skyscraper built by R2-D2 with rotors.

  • @AdrianVonManson I would trust it much more than a skyscraper built by humans. atleast its much more accurate, and a much less chance of failer since no human fail input is in.

  • @Chrisiishere im sorry, but this is a pretty fucking stupid thing to say. So you're saying that you wouldnt trust a building made by humans? But you would trust a building made by devices that are less precise, less capable, and still developed/designed/ and programmed by humans? think before you type dipshit

  • @Chrisiishere No it's not more accurate. I can see with my naked eye that some of the blocks are off a bit. It's a neat concept, and while I know robotics are VERY accurate in the automotive industry, I think this has a long way to go before it could be considered anywhere near better than human input.

  • @ObamaDefeat2012

    I don't think it'll be that long...  If this technology is invested in and develops to the fullest it'll probably be less then a decade before we start applying them.

  • @thebboyheartbreaker This is probably true. but I do have a working knowledge of airplanes and helis, and I the scale one of these would have to be is huge. Think military twin rotor helis that move tanks, and such...very large. Considering the bulk and weight of large scale building materials, I don't see the practicality of it. But the idea could possibly have other uses to be sure.

  • the beginning of a new revolution ppl gonna b w out jobs i like de idea but kome on ppl work for they own good n shit now we gonna have robots fuck that i rather wake up everyday and work my ass off only white ppl would gladly let this robots work for em lazy ass ..............................­.........

  • Like a little toy helicopter on drugs

  • If this were the future of building, they would have to think of a way to keep wind from putting an excessive amount of force on the robots..
