These are copying human movements i think. But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.

And NOW you can honetly say that, yes, everybody was indeed kung fu fighting.

But will they be properly taught to harass and murder people for not being white enough?

I mean, sure, you can probably make an argument for less racism when we have robots. But still, its going to be pretty horrible for everyone.

Did the humanoid shape gave it away? Or was it the Kung Fu?

Better at humans at fighting AND better at break dancing too!

The robots staying stable and not falling over is still very impressive.

Sentdex made some videos about programming Unitree robots and it looked like absolute hell and makes this video all the more impressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1nhT8beTU

Once receiving the signal Chinese household robots sold to the west gonna do project atomic heart, by kicking you in the nuts.

Probably not one that stands up to scrutiny.

If they have fixed programming, the bias would be consistent, but still there, because it would be based upon systems that are already inherently bias.

Any current ML system is beholden to the data/constraints it was built with, if inherent bias exists in the data it will exist in the resulting system.

That's before you even start taking in to account the infrastructure that would be managing them being potentially corrupt or having their own interpretations of "public safety".

"These bots from are bringing in more cases against the <"good" people>, but these ones from can be tweaked to target the <"bad" people>, which of these two companies should we purchase our inventory from ?"

These are copying human movements i think

You're saying that like it's not impressive even if that were true. Human motion capture can't react fast enough to loss of balance with the speed of the moves they were doing (neither can a fully pre-programmed routine with no real time processing), especially for something smaller than the human operator for which you wouldn't have the intuition of how to right it, especially with conventional motion capture that doesn't give you feedback like moving your body does (unless they built a fully featured motion capture system that's both super low latency and gives the operator complete and accurate mechanical feedback on all degrees of freedom, in which case you'd think they'd feature that more than the robots themselves because that's way more impressive.) Even if they were all piloted by humans, they're still autonomously processing all those motion inputs to be compatible with its body.

But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.

Don't worry, we'll never have this problem in the West because humans over here like being police bastards too much to let some robots take their fun away.

We are screwed.

Everything was kung fu fighting!

Meanwhile teslabots can't even pour a drink

I should watch Real Steel again.

Mechatronics engineers and scifi nerds from the 90s would salivate over what's on offer in robotics today.

Don't worry, we'll never have this problem in the West because humans over here like being police bastards too much to let some robots take their fun away.

Most Americans would be happy if the cops just started wearing better tasting boots

Oh man can you imagine if they made a control interface fit a hamster or a lab mouse. The hilarity that would follow to have a line of these doing material arts and one just running in place and trying to stuff food in it's speaker box.

The first ever teslabot demonstration was an actual human in a costume, pretending to be a robot...

That's extremely impressive. As soon as these can do this stuff on random surfaces and with spatial awareness then we are probably past the event horizon for some significant, scary and futuristic shit.

Now that's what i call a flex of your technological power between tradition and modernity. Fantastic performance.

Random thought, I know it's still better to not have wars at all, but future wars would be nicer and more fair if losing meant receiving a knock-out kick in yo nuts from a martial art master robot instead of being killed by random boring drones.

We really do live in the cyber punk dystopia predicted. It's just way less neon lights.

At 0:32 when the robots bend their knees they all do two little hops with one foot to keep balanced, but not all robots are doing the same hop. The middle robot does two large hops whereas the left rear robot does one small hop and then only lifts his "toes".

It could be a combination of pre-programmed movements with a balancing program on top

Looks nice. Not excited to be fighting to the death on some random hill surrounded by a thousand of these.

Yeah or just multiple people controlling groups of them. Its impressive though, sure. I just hate the idea behind it - to get people to like these things.

Butlerian Jihad when?

I find the fact that westerners can only imagine howany new technology will be used against them is the surest sign that western civilization is an utter failure.

Whoa what the hell, that's insane!

Lmao!

Are we sure this isn’t AI made video? This looks so unreal to me. Last time I saw human robots, they didn’t even go up in the staircase.

They probably won't splurge for the emp proof coating.

Chat, are we cooked?

Why do they look mocap and not robotic? Like if it's a robot, the movements should be far more efficient and literally robotic looking. This just looks like "look, we can make them execute scripted macro movements with micro auto adjustments". Which is an achievement in itself, but not exactly as advanced as this video suggests at face value. I could be wrong, but something about it feels off to me and this is just my guess as to why.

You're making a lot of deeply flawed assumptions here.

Imagining bad scenarios doesn't mean it's the only thing one can imagine. Also, I don't think the person specified in what way "we" are screwed; it could have been humanity in general, which would be akin to science fiction as a cautionary tale; it could have been internationally. Also, people often have mixed feelings about technology, and one person expressing a single comment of caution I think hardly defines the failure of all of whatever "western" civilization is.

I'm not making any assumptions, I'm going by what I see as the predominant narrative regarding any new technology in the west. All I see is people moaning how AI or robots will end us all. Whether they're referring to us collectively or just to the west is irrelevant.

My point is that people living under the dictatorship of capital have a negative view of technology because technological progress isn't used in public interest. It's used by the oligarchs for oppression and surveillance, and hence people fear that any new technology will be used to repress them further.

We can contrast this with the mood I'm China where most people are optimistic regarding technological progress because they see technology improving their lives with things like high speed trains, amazing public infrastructure, factory automation, and so on.

Well at least they seem short so we should be able to just throw them or kick them over with ease

I want to give you a hug. You must consume so much propaganda to think us different.

time to learn Chinese.

it would be very very good AI made, and i have seen those robots do these things in tech demos before, so they definitely exist.

because that's what this is.
Premade animations choreographed and scripted.

BUT

Do you have any idea what insane technology in soft and hardware is neccessary to make this happen?

this is beyond impressive, and China is way ahead of everyone else.
Electric cars, Robotics, Renewable energy, medical research, Drone technology.
The west needs to get rid of the incompetent conservatives that cling to a world that no longer exists or the west is the new third world.

What an insightful counterpoint you've mustered there, I'm truly in awe at the quality of your intellect.

We in the west don't even remember what a society can achieve without the bloodsucking billionaire parasites and shareholders siphoning off wealth.
For us that would be "splurging", for less insane societies it would be common sense.

It's kind of fun to see you recognize that there are assumptions at play, and then do the same yourself.
Technology as a threat. What if the threat is not the technology, but the west's inability to keep their resources from being stolen by shareholders and billionaires?
Because that is what is holding us back from developing and making the future ourselves.
we just watch all of our resources go to infighting, incompetent management egos, and mega-yachts and fighting progress.

i wish you could recognize that you consume just as much propaganda as the chinese, the difference being that your propaganda is aimed at keeping you small and fight your own fellow citizens, whereas the chinese propaganda is telling it's people that they are doing great things, and how they can shape the world by working together.

China out here with scripted robots that while not super useful can show off the limits of our technology in impressive ways.

America. Back to slavery but with a metal exterior

not a real thing

you do realize that's propaganda spread by a cult that convinces people they can purify their organs to the point of gaining levitation abilities right?

Don't worry, you're much more likely to be instantly annihilated by a tiny suicide drone.
