The 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals 

Seriously

lol Imagine how few of us they will need in 50 years time #conspiracy haha

uhh yeah imagine what they were saying when we landed on the moon in 69.... main difference between then and now is people are a lot stupider.

haha

About as silly as government trying to tax people as a means to solve climate change.

Guilherme Marques The progression of robots is much, much slower than the progression of computers.

SchneiderMan But the progression is exponential, and not linear. It might seem slow now, but it's getting faster as time goes on.

Guilherme Marques it's got all to do with funding. Where the money goes that's where we get a boom in tech. Just look at phones.

Guilherme Marques In 2017 those things already look like childrens toys. Atlas 2017 can now make a backflip all because it got funded. The future is knocking man...

This looked just as silly 20 years ago as well.

TheVerge edited that part really well. The suspense.

I could have been watching in silence, still awesome.

AJ06 It was cool, but it was also hilarious, couldn't help thinking of the "potty train". ^_^

+ajtronic People always overlook the the easiest stuff like walking around as amazement. Should look up the paralyzed people videos who have to use robotic legs just to go like 50 feet. Moving laterally and balancing w/ 1 foot is a huge challenge for robots and still for people who don't practice it.

I love the sarcasm. Robots are a joke.

roflcopterkklol If you showed someone this in the 1980's..they would be more interested in the time machine :P

inoffensive coddler Only if people are allowed to keep breeding like mindless animals for the next 50 years. over populated by 5 billion people at the moment and all that.

inoffensive coddler He deleted all his comments so all i see is you talking with yourself :)

Hahah best joke

HAHAHAHAH💀💀💀💀

Trillions of calculations are taking place every second to keep you alive

It *is* fun. You can get started with something inexpensive and simple, such as an arduino based wheeled robot with sonic sensors.

+Rogier B yep he sure is

Rogier B And fighting other robots

gladiator bots who will turn against their masters like in spartacus or gladiator with russel crow bot

Seriously...

Sexbots.

The new age being ecocide and our kids laughing at you technouptopianists?

yeah when i found out the koreans won, i felt gypt

Cole Byre He wasn't feeling very well so he went for a lie down but now he's missing and I'm quite worried. He left a load of food under his bed. I hope he won't mind that I took it.

Now also parcour

Just came from the most recent Boston Dynamics videos and in comparison, this video here looks like a joke lol

Nyctophobia actually what am i saying, it will be 4 years max.

ExopMan This compentition was all about human problems. You have now robots that have wheels etc.

Generations of scientists were brought to science by reading Isaac Asimov and other science fiction writers, they are drawn subconsciously to try to make their childhood readings come true, hence the humanoid robots...

@@corentinoger Okay, smarty pants. You get a wheeled MULE to climb some stairs.

I like the humble non shouty approach. Sick of over confident twats shouting and feigning excitement about everything they are asked to read or present for.

+inoffensive coddler all subjective, as a typical brit I'm more used to a gentler/softer way to talk and communicate, (not that we are all like that of course, loads of loud twats over here too) i find the majority presenters on TV/ RU-vid give a obnoxious, loud and false sounding delivery. So from my point of view they do sound more like regular human beings.

+inoffensive coddler fair enough. But you know what I mean, often presenters are American and overly enthusiastic /fake.

This guy sound like one of the goth kids from south park.

Bakkefication About skynet, skynet is AI controlling the robots, if the military atm dont allow robots to choose if a human is threat and kill him or not I doubt they will make skynet and give total control over all robots to an AI that may have code glitches happening now and then. Why do we need the robots? As I said at another video: We need farming robots, after that the government must invest some money to get them and put them on the fields to work 24/7 with attached charging cable to them, the costs for food and vegetables will drop tremendously, after that at 2020 cars with autopilot to transport the food, so at the end you will have a very cheap food to buy. The government must also do the same when it comes to mining, producing electricity and water supply. A great deal of money must be invested in solar/wind energy so they can keep charging the robots. Remove all private sector from these areas and the government will have enough resources to give away for free to their citizens, meaning that every unemployed citizen will actually get pension no matter what the age, thus he will be able to sustain himself without working. The happyness level of the population will be off the charts because at this moment people feel like slaves when it comes to not having an option but work something which you do not prefer, almost against your will because you do not have choice, if you do not work you get thrown to the streets and die.

Figure out how your alive first

you must not understand how complex and difficult it is to make a simple bipedal robot

"...I know". but my grandpa was actually much more agile than this, and "the complexity" of his body is much more complicated than this robot. :P it's true, and i tell you the truth. :D
