the real reason why robots shouldn't look like humans is because it's creepy. the more realistic and lifelike a robot looks, the creepier it is. it just looks unsettling

Each machine has its purpose. If you need a robot for a task it may be shaped and made in a way to do it more efficently. But not all tasks are physical. Humans WANT humanoid robots, so there will be.

Another step in human evolvement, which started by growing larger brains by hemp consumption. So people may experience a shock similar to first self-propelled trains or vehicles? Education and therapy should help them to overcome their prejudices and superstions. 'Stop_Sc_Trollogy?'

Suggestion for the vine robot: deploying a plastic liner inside a pipe to prevent corrosion and leaks. The robot “skin” would be supported by the pipe walls and would essentially become an unbroken plastic coating on the inside of the pipe.

It is strange that the Veritasium channel creator pronounces the word Veritasium as though it has 2 ss's in its spelling. Gymnasium is universally pronounced with a z sound. So why then would Veritasium be pronounced any different? Just a thought.

I see Humanoid Robots as more of a solution to the "Kitchen Problem"... When it comes to a kitchen, sure there are many inventions like Apple Slicers, Banana slicers, Egg slicers, Bread slicers, Potato peelers, Drink stirrers, etc. but they could all be replaced by a single well designed general purpose knife. When it comes to a well functioning kitchen, yes, it can be equipped with a hundred specialized devices like these and each one will do its job better than the knife could, but just switching between a hundred different specialized devices can take more time, money, and effort than you would save by just using one generalized device to do all of those tasks.
A Humanoid Robot is uniquely capable of functioning as a generalized solution to the vast majority of problems in our world which has been designed (by humans) around the human form.
Sure, you can make a specialized robot that can do its one job WAY better than a humanoid one, but it can't help you hold down a board while you are cutting it, then switching to helping you make dinner that night, then wash the dog, clean clutter up off the floor, putting everything where it belongs, reaching that high shelf to get something down for you, change a lightbulb, and do laundry later.

I love your videos, I would like to ask you to merge the original channel with the Spanish channel into one using YouTube's soundtrack function. The thing is that I am a Spanish speaker but I like to watch your videos in English,
However, sometimes I want to show a fragment of your videos to a colleague and I have to close the video I am watching and search for it on the Spanish channel and then search for the exact minute I wanted to show. I know it's something that may only affect me, but I would really appreciate it very much.
P.S: My English is not very good,
Sorry if I am not understood well or have spelling errors.

@SetemkiaFawn Says:
As I watched your collection of videos and your constant comments on the need to specialize robots, I was reminded of the source of the word robot. It was first used by Czechoslovakian author Karel Čapek in the title and body of his 1920 play RUR (Rostrum's Universal Robots).
In the first act of the play a repairmen is called out to repair a robotic bartender. The robot has stopped working. So he talks to the robot can't do some of the things it wants to do. It doesn't want to be humanoid. So he removes the arms and legs and gives it eight tentacles the bartender can mix drinks accurate to a fraction of a drop and do it in a fraction of the time as it can use all of its tentacles at the same time. The bartender doesn't like that his bartender is no longer humanoid but he can't argue with the results the bartender is not happy that he no longer has a humanoid robot but he can't argue with the results.
The play is rather comedic and it goes through a number of robotic specializations such as the one I've just described. Most of Čapek's plays are about social reform and often look like science fiction or fantasy. In this regard his work is similar to that of H. G. Wells. All of them exhibit a degree of absurdity that makes them amusing or slightly comedic. Another feature they tend to share is that the disasters are foreshadowed creating lots of anticipation.

The robots are not built for resemblance to the human beings, but for efficiency. If robots built an independent presence for themselves, it's not necessarily the will match us in the shape and the foolishness.

It kind of amazing seeing the infancy of robotics now. A thousand years from now, historians will debate the origins of said field and wish they could be in this moment in time, watching it all unfold.
It would be so cool to see how the world would be a thousand years from now. I bet i would not recognize a lot of things.

00:03:36 - Even if an inflatable robot gets punctured, it can keep going with enough air pressure.
00:06:37 - Soft robots can navigate tight spaces and lift heavy objects, making them perfect for search and rescue missions.
00:09:27 - Our vine robot can navigate tight spaces, withstand sharp objects, and explore ancient tunnels or assist in medical intubation with ease.
00:12:41 - Vine robots, inspired by plants, can navigate complex environments and have potential applications from medical procedures to space exploration.
00:15:49 - Innovative vine robots could clear landmines, seal spacecraft, and even save lives in emergency medical situations.
00:18:47 - Defibrillators could save more lives if they helped with breathing too.
00:21:52 - Jump higher by maximizing muscle strength, just like the bush baby with 30% of its muscle mass dedicated to jumping.
00:25:22 - This robot jumper stores energy gradually to achieve record-breaking heights with incredible efficiency.
00:28:38 - Engineered jumpers achieve incredible heights by storing energy over time, unlike biological jumpers that rely on a single muscle stroke.
00:31:48 - Scaling up a jumper robot by 10 times can lead to record-breaking jumps due to increased inertia overcoming air drag.
00:34:46 - Years of failure can lead to groundbreaking success.
00:38:01 - From a simple email to a groundbreaking collaboration, the power of persistence and attention to detail can lead to incredible achievements.
00:41:14 - From a simple rumor to a global phenomenon, Micromouse competitions prove that innovation thrives on curiosity and competition.
00:45:34 - Optimism and adaptability lead to success: the flood-fill strategy shows that even when you hit walls, updating your path can still get you to your goal efficiently.
00:48:28 - Winning isn't just about finding the shortest path; it's about finding the fastest one.
00:52:25 - Dick Fosbury revolutionized the high jump by thinking outside the box, just like Mitee 3 changed Micromouse competitions with diagonal moves.
00:55:35 - Micromice revolutionized maze navigation by using propellers to vacuum themselves to the ground, ensuring speed and control.
00:58:36 - Micromouse: A simple maze-solving challenge that turns into an engineering obsession.
01:02:31 - Robots of the future won't be all-purpose humanoids but specialized tools tailored to specific tasks.
01:05:14 - Flexibility in machines isn't a flaw—it's a game-changer for precision and reliability, even safeguarding nuclear weapons.
01:08:05 - Compliant mechanisms simplify design by reducing part count, making them cheaper, more durable, and precise.
01:11:02 - Compliant mechanisms outperform traditional ones because they eliminate backlash, reduce wear, and don't need lubricants.
01:14:21 - A single piece of titanium can replace two thrusters by using centripetal force to engage a drum, similar to a chainsaw mechanism.
01:17:15 - Soft robots are the future of safe, adaptable technology for humans and hazardous environments.
01:20:23 - Soft robots: inflatable, adaptable, and friendly!
01:23:19 - Robots that can change shape and fit into tight spaces are the future of space exploration.
@bagobolts08 Says:
As far as creating jumping gorce by compressing the spring using a motor and string why not use muscle wire? It would in theory speed up storing up jumping energy ,in effect using the same principle our muscles operate!
@bagobolts08 Says:
I had a similar idea for rescuing people, I thought of it after 9-11 basically it's more like internal air bags placed at strategic corners on every floor of a skyscraper! They start to inflate when zero gravity sensors are triggered deploying the bags creating safer areas people might gather!
