I also thought about using #chatgpt to #control a #robot https://mosfet.net/microsoft-explores-ch.. It wouldn't be proper #intelligence , but certainly might give the appearance of it! Imagine a fully #autonomous #robot running this, playing some kind of #text #adventure #game !
Just #watched the #film " #megan ", the #ai #robot #girl #companion that goes crazy. It was okay, but far too #unrealistic . A few people said it was #realistic , but it wasn't. I still rate the #movie #exmachina as more real.
#robots have a far way to go, in this case a #darpa #robot was easily #defeated by #us #marines#hiding under a #cardboard #box https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/3424..
Really nice #behindthescenes for the #bostondynamics #atlas #humanoid #robot https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPVC4IyRTG8 I enjoyed this much more than their #video of it doing #tricks .
Very cool #robot #dog that was #converted into a #pokemon ! https://hackaday.com/2022/11/12/robot-ge.. I never thought it would look that good to be honest! With some work, this could be truly exceptional!
What an awesome #tradition where the #locals get to #defeat a massive #walking #robot #dragon ! https://youtube.com/watch?v=KPPiOFaAlig Makes me #envious we don't have something like that here!
I am really #jealous of #robot #dogs ... I want one: https://hackaday.com/2022/05/02/need-a-s.. The problem is the #market is *exceptionally* #expensive right now.
That is a super nice #robot #cat #platform called #picocat https://hackaday.com/2022/04/18/build-yo.. Definitely something that could be #assembled at #home ! I would have a slightly more #powerful #mainboard , put in a #camera instead of #ultrasounds , run it from #wifi and have it all #computed from a #desktop . Could be really quite compelling!
Very cool #snow based #robot https://hackaday.com/2022/02/18/rc-snowm..
This makes me want a #pen #plot #robot https://hackaday.com/2022/02/07/plottybo.. Besides writing #christmas and #birthday #cards without #mistakes , I imagine there are plenty of times when a #handwritten #letter has more #gravitas than a #printed one.
#china 's #ccp show off their " #mechanical #yak " #robot , a clear #clone of the #bostondynamics #robot https://www.zerohedge.com/military/china.. Problem is, it's #slow , is #remotecontrol , doesn't #prove #load carrying #capability or #range ... The entire #concept it weird anyway, we have much better #transport options than this...
God this thing is fucking dangerous: https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/t.. A #robot #humanoid #teddy without even a #demo of the thing working! I made a great #hackernews #comment on just *some* of the #issues they will face with this thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=292..
The new #raspberrypi #zero is pretty good on #power apparently: https://hackaday.com/2021/11/01/the-pi-z.. The joke is, our #humanoid #robot ran on less! To think that such a small board could now be used to drive our robot is actually insane.
I like the idea of these types of #screws / #bolts without a #head for a #driver https://hackaday.com/2021/10/24/tricky-s.. It could make for a really nice #design for a #humanoid #robot for a #seamless #finish ... I think I will be spending some time when back in the #uk to really #investigate #hardware ...
#amazon 's new #astro #home #robot is cool, if a little #underwhelming https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-5872.. As #aardvark point out, this could be paving the way for more #competent #robots in the future: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0930.s.. I really suspect that #robot #dogs will be the next step in getting #robotics into the #home - a #personal robot for #entertainment ... I think the target price will be $1k-$5k...
