Robotics

So, as I was going through useless crap on the net, I found a video of someone controling a robot with Xbox's kinect program.

We all know that technology is evolving a lot faster than we would like to think it is and there is so much being created as we speak, but I am just posting about a few robots such as the one posted above and these next couple from Japan which are already four years almost 5 years old. I wonder what they/we have now?

This one is also in Japan, this robot is a little bigger and demonstrates its ability to run at the beginning of the video. It has complete control of all of its fingers to grasp things in its hands. At 3:10 it walks a lady across the mat. At 6:50 it shows it helping in an office setting with coffee, well, kinda helping.

So, what do anyone think about these? Combine the top one with the third one and you could completely control a robot and make it mimic you and your movements. By now I would think the movements would be a little more fluid and it could possibly run faster. I don't know. You could make it pick things up and work it in an environment that you wouldn't want a person to go into.

we are doomed.

I just hope I'm still around when they're making realistic sex bots.

You'll probably be replaced by one when they become available...


That was harsh, but couldn't be helped...

The bottom robot, Asimo, is Honda's robot.

But what kind of guns do robots like?

How do they shoot? Sub MOA?

Could I see one in a digi camo outfit?

The second two dancing robots (without the fans) dance like me.

I bet they have ridiculously fast fingers. fuck full auto when your hand swivels faster than a guns cyclic rate!
