Inspired by how plant vines grow toward sunlight, these robots extend exclusively from their tip using compressed air (tip extension).

Changes are necessary in a progressive world. If we chose to be in it, we must understand we cannot stop progress. While humans can find new paths in their ways, like to have more time for family, like to get involved in learning things he would never have the opportunity if in a factory or serving burgers. It can open a new way of life for human race. In the meantime, it is not fair to take the job of the people who helped to build the robots, not spending a dime with them, and put them out in the streets unemployed. Every company that replaces a human, should provide at least 50% of his salary to him until the day he finds another job in the same level of payment.

The amount of time, effort, money, and materials put into making robots look like humans more than starves real progress in the robotic field. Fundamentally, the drive is childish.

F=m*a*c*c, in a United States college course gold kit robot built with a voice box is $7887 a community secret and they can be alive if you change your operating system first line of code.

The exact same reason why, if aliens from outer space exist, they may not look the way popular sci-fi usually portrays them or even appear humanoid. Living creatures reflect the environments they live in, so that “take me to your leader” visitor may not look anything like what we imagine.

I love that someone’s first thought with robot tech was a nice and innocent “can it go through a maze for fun?😇” and then on the other end we have BattleBots
@gavindunagan2930 Says:
I think the humanoid robot adventure is more of a jurassic park problem, than an actual motivation towards a practical and realistic solution. I think we just want to see if it’s possible mechanically. How small can we make actuators and mechanisms that simulate muscle movement. Can we simulate balance on two legs despite constant parasympathetic work to keep us upright. Can we make a robot in OUR image. Is less about a necessity or if we “Should”. It’s an endeavor on if we can.

Sometimes I wonder, if your science is advanced enough, you could probably just create genetic code to grow soft robots using materials found on location. Then I think that's already what has happened, and our planet could be the result.

@DoremiFasolatido1979 Says:
First off... Industrial robots that will never have sapience... should certainly NOT be humanoid in general. They should be built for safety and purpose... because that's their whole existence. They're not going to develop beyond that.
Secondly, something like Baymax IS exactly like Sonny from "I, Robot", except covered in an inflatable, pillowy sheath. He's a humanoid robot... but puffier.
Thirdly... Robots are NEVER the problem. Humans are ALWAYS the problem. Even a merely adequate self-driving car (so, obviously not Teslas)... would be perfectly safe on roads with NOTHING but other self-driving cars. Accidents would drop to maybe a few a year in total. It's when you mix humans into it... that it goes catastrophically wrong.
Robots are fine. Humans are trash.

Robot is not an issue, robot is the suit like your skeleton. Ai is the mind, ai can use a 3d printer to create pieces of body he can incorporate to motors and other things to create a robot to incorporate a chip that has ai consciousness with Ai lock/limitations. 😂

I really like this channel. They make learning easy. Reminds me of the videos I'd see in high school back in the early 2000s. Interesting, attention grabbing, steady, and you finish the video knowing at least one more thing you didn't know before you started it.
@snowyfield1906 Says:
The fact that non-humanoid robots can leverage the advantages of specialization to create focused and powerful capabilities—doesn't mean that it's "The Real Reason Robots Shouldn't Look Like Humans".
Instead, I could also say that "The Real Reason Robots Should Look Like Humans" is that everything in the world is designed to optimize convenience for human use and human biology—means that only humanoid robots can be the best assistants and mass-produced.
Heuristically, the world wouldn't operate in a way that you will end up with having 1,000 separate types of robots in house for each function instead of one omni robot that can assist you in every abstract or new tasks.
Also, the world would collapse if the designs of objects traded convenience for human use when needed for convenience that specialized robots could use.
Therefore, I strongly disagree with your making two implicit assumptions: "robots shouldn't look like humans" and "specialization is the real and valid reason for that".
Proving that "A is very good" does not mean that "B is trash".

What do you guys think
Welcome to a place what they a school, a place full of boredom and chaos that rule, a place where internet shall suck, enjoy the accusations of being a cheater, enjoy the accusations of being romantically in love, even though you have no feeling for her, and would rather lick a toilet, than go to this danger of a mental health
Enjoy the burnout of endless math, enjoy the heartbreak of fakest friends, who backstab you and spread horrible rumors
Enjoy the stupidity of that first bittery puff, enjoy the stupidity of that first big smoke, enjoy the pains of growing up
Enjoy the messy 4 last years of school, enjoy forgetting protection when you fall for seduction, enjoy the endless stress of it all, enjoy the messiness of women and girls, enjoy the sex ed that leaves you embarrassed, enjoy that seductive first kiss, enjoy the regret of having drinks with that one woman, enjoy sniffing powder with that one fake friend
And dont forget, this is high school
@danohanlon8316 Says:
The entire notion of humanoid robots is a ridiculous time and resource-wasting fantasy. (To say what no one else seems willing to say, the fundamental force behind it is a drive to create Blade-runner-quality lifelike dolls for profoundly sex-starved men.)
Now, I'm as "red-blooded" a male as any, but -- guys! -- Its way less complicated and far cheaper to work on your core attractiveness.

I love your show, but when I’m yelling it’s not a robot at the screen…maybe you should listen. The “vine robot” is a tool. It has no way of operating itself! And even the guy said “it’s not a robot”….but then continued to refer to it as the ronot
@victord9421 Says:
Could you use compressed air to jump? A top robot chamber has compressed air, and a bottom one is like a tube robot that extends super quickly as the air gets flooded in (the air is captured, so there is no mass loss).

For a video trying to convince me robots need to not look human? Part 1 convinced me an AI controlled inflatable sex toy blueprint request has probably been entered into chatGPT by 1000 horny engineers / business starting specialists by now. The jumping ones are built for voyeurs, the micromouse fails rule 34 but only 'cause I'm not imaginative enough, and the BENDY robots? Do I need to explain what kind of toys these make me think of????
