China's FULLY AUTONOMOUS ROBOT Triggers Fears | Is it REAL? 

Google even got caught doing this, it's tele-operated all that shirt fold and showed it right there... it doesn't have that type of capability to understand fabrics like that. China wouldn't lie would they... And you totally can't pre-record a countdown and play it back at a slower speed.

4:00 Either this is an "artist's representation" of what the robot is seeing or the whole thing is fake, because it misspelled "RED PEN" into "RED PAN", which is something a language model absolutely would not do.

The song was creepier than the robot.

The start of the robot overlords revolution - The butler did it.

"0.03 mm" precision is absurd

Come for the humanoid, stay for the flamethrower dog.

I can give you a video of me shooting a three pointer behind my back… It just may take me six months to get the right footage, but I assure you those 5 seconds will be real! There were many different set ups and hence many different cuts and, if you think about the logistics, even if the robot could get each set up right on the first take, there would still need to be several sessions of shooting. The table cloth gimmick looks impressive, but all you need to control for is speed and angle, no fancy robotics needed. Notice how sterile the environment is. Not a continuity error to be seen. Even if this was achieved without teleoperation, perhaps the shirt folding doesn’t generalize to any other fabric types, colors, or sizes. I’m not saying it’s fake, I’m just saying if this was a magic trick I have a pretty good idea of how the magician did it.

@3:38 red pen spelled 'red pan' in the box but correctly in the What do you see answer. hmmmmm

I don't want any robot if it's connected to the internet.

May not be live teleoperation but my bet is that the majority of the actions were 'recorded' teleoperation. Many of the movements were too smooth and obvious careful placement of all objects before the activity happens.

Love the song! 😂

I have my doubts about most chinese companies' claims. They are notoriously dishonest about products in many ways.

The 2 Sec T-shirt Fold!

The thing is, I don't NEED to do my laundry. What I mean by that is: once a week, I can just put my clothesbin in the washer, put a detergent sheet, wash, move to the dryer, dry, and take it out. I don't even need to fold it, though it's much nicer when folderd But that won't slide with dishes. I need to put them away. I need to manually move each and every one to the dishwasher. I can't just grab a bunch at once. And dishes are a daily thing! In a family of four, there's so many dishes. When it comes to laundry, I only need to worry about my own. That's why I choose dishes

The successor to the Therminator will be the Holynator which will make small, perfect round holes in everything - by shooting a gun. However, it will not be considered as a weapon, because using it as a weapon will VIOLATE its terms of service.

How the fuck do people like Helen get into these positions. What has she done that gives her soo much power in these companies/ gov

Is it possible to run local LLM with battery? Or is it gonna run with cable?

it can probably charge it self how long does the battery last?

G’day Wes, many thanks for all the work you've put into your videos

Does anyone know the name of the song? I can't find it even after searching the lyrics.

Let’s not let the literal Chinese spy robot into our houses, folks. I’d rather wait a year or two for either Atlas 2, Fgure 01 or Optimus.

Looool is that Udio in the background?

pyromaniacs: exist Company: Thermonator Forest fires: I'm I a joke to you?

Preprogrammed motions/actions. How many takes for each segment of the video? Basically an infomercial for a widget on QVC.

Thank you.

You should have offered "aerate the wine" as one of the options in your poll.... that pays for itself in a month! :)

Let's assume the demo is real. What could be the gaps? 1. *Required computing power:* I wonder how much computing power is needed to generalize tasks. Do you need a supercomputer? This would drive up costs. 2. *Reliability of a robot:* How reliable is a robot that has been generalized for different tasks? Just recall, we don't even have reliable agents from large language models (LLMs). How could this then be possible for real-world agentic behavior by robots? 3. *Related to point 2: Insurance* What kind of insurance would be needed to have such a robot in a household, doing things unsupervised on its own? Remember that complete autonomous driving has still not been achieved. If such generalization were possible, I assume that such robots would first be introduced in industry, not initially in consumer households. Thus, there is surely time to observe how reliable these promises are.

If you could build a home computer for AI (LLaMA 70b), work what would you build?

interesting that it identified the shelf as multiple containers while having a top-down view.. that's quite a world view

Loving it!

I suspect some fakery. The best case is that they specifically trained it to do what was in the video. No way that's 0-shot or 1-shot behavior.

I only cook for myself, but seeing dishes and laundry being about the same was still surprising to me. I pretty much use the same bowl/plate/glass for every meal, hand wash them in about 1 minute each time, and then put them in the drying rack. Dishes are virtually not a thing. When I cook I usually clean as I go so there are no dishes to be done when the food is done cooking, so if the robot can do THAT then I can see it being useful for cooking+dishes. But laundry---yep.

Thanks Wes.

how do we know for sure that is not teleoperated, or even just CGI?

Although its impressive and looks really clean as a design, especially compared to its competitors, I am surprised by how much the camera seems to wobble when its arms are moving. If its using vision to calculate its movements you would expect the camera to remain as still as possible.

i just want to give all these home robot companies a heads up that in europe we usually have houses with multiple floors that are navigated by stairs, and that a robot that can only drive around on flat floors is basically useless for us. in northamerica this might be different, i dont know, but im just saying.

Generative fill shines for creating matt paintings, set extension or object removal.

3:40 how do you cook with that 67% certainty 'red Pan'?

Did no one else see Mobile Aloha (I know weird name) but it’s open source project. It literally looks like that but with nicer looking hard ware in fact this looks less impressive because it’s not moving around from room to room. The project even gives a build materials and moves around to do your tasks for 30k.

Extremely Amazing!❤💯👍

0:30 Funny how the song keeps calling it "my robot partner, PA, companion" instead of "robot servant"

Legs/wheels/tracks? or does it just stand there while you put everything in front of it??

Probably "just" Mobile Aloha and some very selective editing. Nothing out of China is as claimed.

I am into 3d printing. here I see a bunch of servo motors, lots of plastic pieces, and a few cameras. of course, in the back is a really beefy computer to run everything. the whole thing should be possible at less than 2k$ in 2 years. maybe a bit more depending on graphics card price.

What the cost

i like the thermonator..."you kids get off my lawn..."

Robot dog/flame thrower for removing ice and controlling wild life(?) must be the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard

4:11 Why does it misspell pen? 🤔

Lol someone play the Terminator theme song over the thermenator

Adobe is releasing brand new features that show what AI was like a year ago

Too perfect, it smells of pre-scripting, tele-operation and AI guided have slight jitters to their movement. Is it impossible? No, but I'm skeptical, happy to be wrong but gonna need independent verification.

Good music. Thanks for rhe video too

Something we have to be careful with is some of these companies could have someone off screen controlling the robot. IMO I think that is what happen here. Likely they are going after investor money. I hope I'm wrong. But the timeline doesn't make sense

Many Chinese restaurant even in the country side have already robot helping with dishes and customer care, this stuff for sure will be in the house pretty soon this year. The cost of this Atribot I guss should be something about 3000/4000 USD or even less.

My first robot's name will be "Rosie the Robot", my Jetson's future is in the making

Love the music, didn't finish the vid yet, this is generated music right?

We don't really see it baking anything or building a stool, we just see it doing a final move like tapping the stool. Plus, it obviously can't move, so can only interact with stuff you place in front of it. I suspect these items are at best recorded in memory and it can't use any similar item placed somewhere else... It looks like ROB, the robot that came with the Nintendo Entertainment system, and is probably just as useful...

That robot is so cool, I want one to add to my robot collection 😀

I just realized that I responded to the question about which task you choose for a robot to do based on my assessment of which task would be easier for the AI to perform competently, but many may have answered according to which task they would prefer not to do themselves. So the results are likely confounded by the ambiguity of the intent of the decision, and assumptions made concerning efficacy.

They claim it is not operated. All frame edits indicate sampling the most smooth takes.Useful ldlots everywhere, even in AI.

cool song !

Absolutely brilliant … advances in task training with neural nets should make these bots common with launches in next 12 months

I cook my meals, so I have to do the dishes around four times a day, I need to laundry about once a week. Easy decision

The flamethrower looks dangerous..... worryingly, especially in the wrong hands. I always wanted a dragon 😊

1:05 That music! 😎

What is that music?!

Nice

I love how the music is ai to

Is this song by Suno or Udio?

thermonator makers ( 11:10 ): we've now equipped it with a rocket launcher. bUT iT Is nOt A wEaPoN!!!1

They recorded the actions and are playing them back later on the robot.

That song would make a great mash-up with the “Gremlins” theme

A bot like this would be good picking crops, factory packing jobs. I think home use is far off.

Loved the song 😂

The question is can you tell it to Do it ? All this could have pre programmed to do in demo mode. So I like the robot but have to see more live tests done to believe it

If Adobe boasts they don't train on copyrighted work, yet use midjourney images that have infamously been stealing/training from various artists across the internet, is it really copyright free?

Does it walk?

I want one that's looks like xs1 Goliath

It stands behind the counter all the time. Can it move? Legs, wheels or tracks? I need to see it navigate messy human space.

Imagine it flicks us off at the end though.

I love it

3:43 Did you notice that "red pan 0.67" is mis-spelled? It's a red *pen* . I suspect this screen is faked.

A lot of cuts. only the placing objects was shown in full?

1:58 is the best hahaha

Lmao that song, obviously a replacement

Should've used Udio for the robot soundtrack, Suno feels like it's from another era these days. 🤣

Astribot looks impressive, but in my experience false advertising is very common in marketing of Chinese products. It is either a pretty good robot, or it is fraud, no way to be certain until someone does some independent testing.

Doesn't matter if fake or real. What matters bigly is we can't say for sure

Once you can train in a physics engined virtual world, it only a matter of (short) time before this is common place, and soon will be.

It is real. I just ordered one from Temu.

W vid, i fw the beard btw

Begun the drone wars have.

bro that drop tho 💧

if I have a Robot i would use it to collect embodied data to train LLMs to understand the world

ngl I wont let some half baked terminator model into my house! xD not sure if this stuff is really necessary and even practical at home. also I get like Outer Limits and Black Mirror vibes when I see this stuff.

The dishes for sure.Cause i'm not only washing my own dishes.I'm washing the dishes of my whole family.Twice a day.Almost every day.I only do my own laundry and that's once a week.Cooking would be good too.Again i have to cook my own breakfast and dinner everyday.Except the days i order food.

The race for a super humanoid robot starts 😮

What’s the chance it’s based on the open source project Jim Fan posted about a few months back? Read the paper, I feel “high”

Nice SUNO music.

The song
