Does our robot have bird legs? 

Zuckerberg without camouflage 😂

It very loosely means finger. It also means toe. We don’t count with our fingers, kids do. And when they run out of fingers, they use their toes 😉

human legs are more energy efficient, stable and can hold more weight, bird legs are more energy effective, flexible, quick, strong and dont have design flaws, humans legs put a lot of energy stress on the knees and ankles, the weight is not perfectly distributed, thats why we get so many joint diseases when reaching old age.

Why does your lizard-brain have a concept of ethnicities? That seems like a concept that would require higher uh, well, something I wouldn’t think that what gets called a lizard brain, would be able to have? Though, maybe it could have some form of it?

? So your calling chickens and ostriches antichrist?

@@zefellowbud5970 yes, thats exactly what im saying

@@Nobody-Nowhere hmm would it mean its blaspheme to eat fried chicken? or its actually good because it reduces the local anti christ population?

@@zefellowbud5970 It stupid, and you should go vegan.

​@@zefellowbud5970 Do you prefer your antichrist grilled or fried?

It looks exactly like a MON-60 Mongoose battlemech xD

Cassie , the robot that was Made before Digit is able to run at 24 kmh , the main issue with running would be having balance while doing so

@@ulforcemegamon3094 From the little I know, balancing becomes less of an issue if anything when running because air resistance more effectively dampens oscillation. I'd think the main issue would be how to correct when for ground give and missteps.

@@Term-0 the part of the air resistance may be true in some degree but i don't know if the speeds Cassie reach make air resistance meaningful (specially when you consider the shape Cassie has) , that being said you are right , is the calculating the steps and fixing the mistake while running also a limiting factor for speed

It can be folded up and put on the seats, I imagine.

Gets in backwards?

I think there are many environments where humans can walk easily in which wheels wouldn’t work very well, such as on a beach, or where there’s loose soil. Or, at least, for any particular reasonable-size-for-the-general-task of wheel, I expect there are environments where that wheel size won’t work well but where humans can handle it easily.

@@drdca8263 But this bot is mostly for flat surfaces, factories and maybe cities, homes

@@waxy3220 Hm, ok, that may be a good point. I know those robot vacuums can get caught on stuff fairly easily, but I guess larger diameter wheels could solve that? Maybe they are hoping to extend it to more varied environments later? Like, what if you want to take it with you when you’re going on a hike? Not like, near term, but in some much later on product? Idk

​@@drdca8263 My concern is that if this is for repetitive factory work, legs are not very efficient, but a bot with wheels, that can maybe turn its torso is super fast and effective. If it needs to climb up and down stairs, maybe a sideways ramp is even cheaper. For general purpose, unexpected all terrains and such, I think legs are maybe the best choise.

@@waxy3220 what you say seems to make sense to me

PRETTY SOON EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE OUT OF WORK. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

nice

nice

..? How so?

That would be a fun cover for this robot, snake arm and all. And did you catch Xaviers feet? EWWW.

What's the incentive? They already stated that Digit's legs better accommodate handling items while squatting. 3:13

​@@kennethstudstill yup, form follows function.

It works fine. Our legs are sorta fricked up anyways let’s not give the chronic foot pain to the robot.

It's seems like a pretty bad idea that humans have human legs. Why give them to a robot when there's something more efficient and practical?

Bird evolved better leg to be honest. You can't outrun ostrich.

No they didn't change the scope of the research because of a video game

An interesting thought; could you dress up a robot in a fursuit and sent it to a con, and would that be legal? That would certainly make going to cons in other countries easy, just post your robot to a friend and have stand by the front door to buy a ticket while you control it remotely over the internet.

you should be on a FBI watch list.

Eew.

fag

.....im an mechanical engineer IF I SEE ONE OF THIS ROBOTS IN A FURSUIT ITS GONNA HAVE ITS OWN CRUXIFICTION so watch your words disgusting piece of flesh

Kind of a lame comment

@@suhailmall98 kind of lame response

kind of a lame thread

Why not?

@@GrassBIade Well, you tried to breed a part of an animal and a part of a person. Natural evolution has not been able to do this in millions of years. Do you want to do it in a few years? Ha. Therefore, this form is unstable in every sense of the word - technically, physically, and aesthetically. I like your project and even consider myself a fan of yours, but I sincerely believe this lineup is a dead end. At the same time, the developments will be used to create more advanced models (2.0). And I will be watching your every move with curiosity.

(I'm not affiliated with Agility Robotics) Nature has also not evolved a wheel, yet it is still by far the most efficient form of ground transportation on flat ground. This design may strive to be biomimetic, but nature hasn't had the need for spring/dampers in the same way probably because the mechanisms behind biological actuation and robotic actuation are from a completely different set of building blocks. Regardless, they have already proven great power savings and efficiency since walking is a very natural gait in this configuration. I think it's even possible that a future variation of this sort of leg configuration could exceed the efficiency of a nature someday since any robot is much simpler than a biological bird.

What do you mean?

@@JJs_playground Brian was probably saying that bird legs being a good design, in that when people try to make a good design, bird-like legs are a likely outcome, is evidence that bird legs are the result of being designed (by God). Now, personally, while I do believe in God for other reasons, I’m unsure that this is particularly good evidence for that. Well, I suppose it is evidence that bird legs are a result of a process (such as deliberate design) which produces things that work very well, and in particular, work well to a degree that we would have difficulty making something that works better. A scientific materialist would of course say that bird legs arose from evolution, and one might describe evolution as an “optimization process”, and as similar to the process of conscious deliberate design in that sense. Personally I find appeal in the idea that both old-earth creationism and literal-seven-day creationism are, in different senses, “literally true”, where like, perhaps there used to be, sorta two different types of time, where these two types now agree, but where during creation, in one of the types of time, the things attributed to individual days happened across geological time-scales, but in the other type of time it was literal days? ...Or perhaps just OEC, with guided evolution. Idk, I like the “two types of time” idea, but I have to admit it does seem a bit out-there. Or maybe like, “evolution but with post-selection”, where God took the stochastic process of evolution of species, and conditioned it on certain things being true at certain times, which, should allow for basically any desired amount of influence. Hm. Anyway, my reasons for my belief are not based in how-species-come-to-be, but are more tied to things like my presupposition of moral realism, combined with a variant on argument-from-uncaused-cause, etc. (for just argument-from-uncaused-cause in its plainest form, by itself, one of course doesn’t get that said uncaused-cause is something one would necessarily think to call a god, nor even that there is only one uncaused-cause. But one does get, under what I think are quite reasonable assumptions, that there must be at least one uncaused-cause. By applying similar reasoning to moral-facts rather than like, things-existing/happening, one reaches an analogous conclusion. Then, I conclude for reasons that both of these kinds of explainables should trace back to a single thing that explains both. And something which is the reason for both all of the things and events that exists, *and* for whether any given action is good or bad, that really sounds like a monotheistic god)

They are progressing very well and leading tesla by a large margin. Though, good question regarding economies of scale; would like to see an answer.

what do you mean too slow? tesla has showed off a grand total of 1(ONE!!) bot just today that looks like a high school project compared to this. they havent showed off anything before, not to mention their presentation being just an advertisement for vaporware. notice how they never showed off the capabilities of the bot live and instead resorted to using prerecorded footage and which was obviously cut at many places to hide the fact that the bot is not very capable. at least boston dynamics has one bot that is in production which doesnt need human assistance to walk around. t*sla only has promises that come from a conman which is known not to follow up on big promises.

E😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 when Tesla idiots don’t know what the he’ll they’re talking about. Go and look at Honda’s Asimo robot from 8yrs ago, Tesla’s robot is 10 years behind that 8 yr old robot. To make matters worse, the gearing on the actuators they’re using is akin to making a forklift, good look getting a robot to quickly catch its balance with ball screws. Now you trying to compare agility robotics to Tesla bot 😭😭😭😭
