Robotics engineer posted this to make a point that robots are “faking” the humanlike motions – it’s just a property of how they’re trained. They’re actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.

      I always though that making them look human was stupid. R2D2 please show them the way

    2. Where was this?

      The tech looks like it’s from China but backyard looks like Bay Area. 

    3. I really tried to post a Voldo gif but reddit’s gif search is so abysmally broken that I literally couldn’t, so just assume I did

    4. Gonna be real fun in a couple of years, when these things are the new drones and everyone has easy access to them.

    5. Definitely not “faking” human-like motions. They are designed to have human-like motions and move that way for efficiency.
      If the creator wanted to have them walk like an arachnid then the creator would design it that way for efficiency but would probably have trouble standing up “human-like”

      Imagine you piss this thing off at dinner time and it just spider walks under the table and comes right up between your legs and gets in your face, “what did you say to me?”

      Creepy as hell, but they’re not “faking” anything.
      They just have a far wider range of motion capabilities than humans do.

    8. Anyone with common sense would think that. Like, we humans are optimized for hunting. Anything else, we’re not meant for that. Robots shouldn’t be human like just to fit with humans, they are supposed to be better than us at other tasks and that might involve changing their shape
