Our Robot Overlords Coming

[F250 28,775]

This video looks cool until the 17 second mark, then it gets frightening.

 

[XYZ 2,154]

Not impressed. How long can that robot keep jumping over stuff? Five minutes?

[CooterBrown 18,012]

Humans always thought they would have sexbots but we are trending towards robots having sexmans.

[FondrenRoad 4,378]

Citizen, you have 5 seconds to comply before automated lethal response.

[MissingInAction 25,076]

That robot fucks.

[El Diablo 4,232]

Until the batteries die.

 

[mdmost 43,001]

I'm not worried. Just run in a zigzag pattern. That dumb thing can only run in a straight line.

[Onboard 2.0 9,083]

As long as the hot fembots put out  what's the problem ?  Ain't gonna be no little baby bots running around from those hook ups.

Not saying I wouldn't, but those jagged metal cooches are gonna be rough if the batteries die while you're in there.

Oh yeah?  Who's gonna remove him?

All fun and games until the robots look up your family.

I don't know. That robot seems like it wears flannel, drives a compact truck, and plays women's softball.

[XYZ 2,154]

I would kick that robot’s ass so bad...

That appears to be an unconventional working surface over four feet high. Robot needs to be tied in or a railing needs to be added.

[Bevo Num1 1,011]

Let's see that fucker QWOP.

correct, if you're four feet off the ground, you must wear a 6ft lanyard !

Meh, seen that shit in Call of Duty. Aim for the head.

 

IRL...pretty fucking cool.

I laughed harder than I should have at that thing struggling in the snow.

Why did dynamics make the robot walk like a T100?

It’s supposed to be a plastic pal who’s fun to be with.

CIMON isn’t much to look at. It’s just a floating ball with a cartoonish face on its touch screen. It’s built to be a personal assistant for astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS).

It’s also supposed to be something more.

CIMON stands for Crew Interactive MObile compinioN.

It’s not supposed to be just a tool. It’s also supposed to be a friend.

Yes, it’s a personality prototype.

You can tell, can’t you?

But, as numerous books and movies have clearly warned us — shortly after being switched on for the first time, CIMON has developed a mind of its own.

And it appears CIMON wants to be the boss.

This has CIMON’s ‘personality architects’ scratching their heads.

CIMON was programmed to be the physical embodiment of the likes of ‘nice’ robots such as Robby, R2D2, Wall-E, Johnny 5 … and so on.

Instead, CIMON appears to be adopting characteristics closer to Marvin the Paranoid Android of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — though hopefully not yet the psychotic HAL of 2001: A Space Oddysey infamy.

Put simply, CIMON appears to have decided he doesn’t like the whole personal assistant thing.

He’s turned uncooperative.

Unique in that it's VTOL.  Not sure I've seen that before.  And being Russian, I imagine they can build one for the price of a bottle of vodka.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4,976]

I need one of those AK drones.

Still just a proof of concept, but put a weed zapper or flame thrower on that thing and you're in business.  Ag is dealing with some serious herbicide weed resistance problems, and that fix will NOT be new chemicals.

This week we announced the retirement of our hydraulic Atlas and unveiled what comes next—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The next generation of the Atlas program builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch, and now with Atlas.
