…replacing the previously hydraulic version.
Insert obligatory welcome statement here.
A robot could never excede my performance in being depressed and autistic so Im safe.

We've got LLMs now that can do that. Sorry, you've been replaced. Please gather your things into this box and cheer up.

Just wait until we have robots with 10 times a normal human IQ, that have to work as greeters at the local supermarket.

umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
cool, so they can do the grueling work for us so we can enjoy life right?
Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You don’t need humanoid robots for that, just an economic system that is not based on trading labor for income. That is what has been holding us back for a long time.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
labor is necessary for many things regardless of the economic system.
i guess the problem with having these in the current labor for income system is that whenever they can replace us, we dont get income anymore, i stead of enjoying workless utopia built by robots.

No you’ll work but the robot will be your supervisor and can beat you

They will be so efficient, they can do both for us.
kromem@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’m getting really tired of that metric.
Like, human performance has a very wide range and scope.
My car “exceeds human performance.”
My toaster exceeds human performance for making toast.
Michael Phelps exceeds the human performance of myself in a pool.
I exceed the human performance of any baby.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Exceeds the very limited parameter we used to define as “human performance.”
“Look, this robot’s arm can spin 360°! It exceeds human performance!”
Ok, can it get a glass out of the cabinet, put ice cubes in it, fill it with water and bring it to me?
archomrade@midwest.social 6 months ago
I think you could have picked a more difficult metric, this is something i’m pretty sure the BD robots can actually do.
CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I exceed the average human at idiocy.

soon things like this will be everywhere in our lives, on subscription, and can turn into police or military at any time like an agent smith. sleep tight!

Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 months ago
if you look at how many people will need to try to find new jobs after AGI and mass human robotics, its devastating. i’ve seen estimates in the tens or hundreds of millions.
just self driving cars alone could cause a global depression.

“exceeds human performance” … in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?
BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 7 months ago
It's such a weird phrasing. They make it sound like you can give it nails and a hammer and it can frame a house better than a human.

When I was taking classes on similar things, ‘human performance’ was generally defined as how well an expert in a given task performed.

“What should we include when we build our humanoid robot?”
“It should stand up in the most unnerving way possible.”
Bonehead@kbin.social 7 months ago
Admit it...if your legs could do that, you'd stand up like that every single time. Just because you could. Just like every time General Grievous climbs into a shuttle and does that flip.

I mean, the planet’s dying, but ok. At least we’ve got robots that “excced human performance” in making their overlords profits. Imagine if these scientists were putting their efforts to real use.

Waiting any minute for Musk to come out and say how Tesla is the most advanced robot manufacturing company still, because he can’t stand not being in the spotlight.

Okay somebody probably knows better than me, but what is the advantage of humanoid robots? Why are people kinda, on this, now? It feels very 20th century, as an idea. It’s pretty cool, but I don’t understand why this would be necessary compared to just like, specialized normal robots that do specialized normal tasks. It seems more efficient, if you wanted a robot to, say, do the dishes, to make a robot that just does the dishes, instead of making a robot in the shape of a person that does the dishes. The one that’s in the shape of a person is maybe more broadly applicable to human contexts, software notwithstanding (which does seem like a major hiccup). But it’s not as though there’s like, an upper limit on the amount of robots which we can have, in total. You could just make more robots, and make them specialized for certain tasks, like stocking shelves or whatever, and that would probably be easier, I would think, than making one robot to rule them all. Like, one robot, with ostensibly an on-board computer and on-board batteries so it’s as universal as possible.
It gives me self-driving car vibes, where we could’ve had them in the 50’s if everyone was willing to install metal spikes in the ground every however many feet ahead, but then that maybe doesn’t make any sense, because it’s just kind of a shitty train or tram. Basically, that nobody’s willing to front the cost of infrastructure for anything anymore, so we have to make like, a universal device, and end up quintupling the total cost while making a solution that is either less efficient or doesn’t exist.
Also, what’s the point of the legs? Is it supposed to go outside, or go up stairs better? We already have pretty efficient wheeled vehicles capable of doing that in most public spaces, or, we’re supposed to, anyways, they’re called wheelchairs. What do we need this guy to walk around for?

Can it outrun a kenyan in a marathon?
Or the real question is if a battery can be made small enough to fit in a human sizef robot that can keep it running over 42km

I’m confused. Shouldn’t any robot exceed human performance? Even just in the ability to do repetitive tasks precisely without tiring. How is this news?

So glad they selected this super not creepy intro.
egeres@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think they specifically chose that to display that it has no “forward” axis, robots don’t need to be 100% anthropomorphic and follow our biological limitations, I think this is a very significant evolution in design that will allow for better mobility
3volver@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’d go further to argue that it’s very necessary for robots to have even more mobility such as wheels to take advantage of momentum and increase efficiency. There’s a reason the wheel was invented, things like bicycles, wheelbarrows, etc.
The ANYmal wheeled legged robot is an example of that.

This is probably the best way to get up if your joints can fully rotate. If you look closely, the legs are exactly below the center of mass when they touch the ground, making it easy to push upwards without falling over.
Humans just have to make complicated contortions or jump up because our joints are inferior (there are no slip rings for blood vessels).
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It looks like an improvement 😔. I mean fuck! I can’t even limbo that low much less get up from 0 to upright folding my legs around like that. But my face lamp is pretty bright! Just upgraded to LEDs and now I’m like a walking sun. I think they just copied me like that. And I got two ears not just one lowly antenna. So that’s not an upgrade.
Now they just need a silicone dildo, some silicone glue and a famous pornstar actress. That would sell a lot of droids this Christmas. Lots of Jewish, Jehovahs, Catholic, Christian, Protestant, Muslim men would be very interested…and women too. Specially if they come preprogrammed or programmable for special work like that.
