The robot wars have begun

We need a section on ai/robotics. How else to track judgment day?


anyways here’s a robot attacking crowd, in China, guess they didn’t implement Asimov’s rules:

AI ROBOT ATTACKS CROWD AT CHINESE FESTIVAL A humanoid robot suddenly stopped, advanced toward attendees, and attempted to strike people before security intervened. Officials suspect a software glitch caused the erratic behavior, dismissing any intentional harm. This comes after an AI-controlled drone reportedly targeted its human operator, raising fresh concerns about AI safety.

I suppose I don't know details, but from that video clip on X I thought the damn thing was moving forward and awkwardly recovered from a stumble...

Narratives are free to create... but I just can't buy that as an "attack."

I could be wrong of course...

AI doesn't "decide" anything.

Shhh don’t spoil the fun.

The guy who grabbed it and pulled it back didn’t look worried.

Meh, I think most of the research and technology is going the wrong direction. Looks like Musk along with the Chinese are trying to build Biped robots. It just wont work. I guess Musk wants to try and utilize the Tesla "self driving technology" but it sucks. 

I would probably go with a two trax system with inner wheels for stability sake. Most of those stupid robots you see out there cant even raise their hands over their head or they get a bump and they are parts on the floor or they have other major stability problems.

I suppose if they added gyros to their backs it might stabilize them a bit, at least if they got bumped they would glide a bit and possible recover, instead of tumbling over.

Rubber Tracks with incorporated wheels is the way to go, IMO. I would make it Dual use a Transformer, something that could turn from a "robot" into a small transport vehicle (scooter).

Yeah, they are way off from going anywhere.

I have watched all that creators YouTube videos for the past few months.

Incredibly informative.

 It was tied up by the head and it was having trouble balancing and started to overcompensate. Apparently, that was the cause of the trouble.

They are pushing the biped form so that they can use things made for humans. Everything we build is essentially made to accommodate the human form so for them to be as effective as possible they need to resemble us. 

You can't very well have a tracked robot jumping into a tank or climbing a fireman's ladder.

I've only worked on robots of the tiny variety, I don't feign to know the complexities of larger models, however in tiny ones and their linear programming it works similar to this: spin gear B *which moves it forward* for x amount of seconds then spin gear A *which might make it move left or right* and its stored in a variable. It will then do as programmed and execute it, going through its programmed variable motions. If there is a barrier in the way it will continue spinning unaware of the barrier unless it has a sensor to detect objects. That's what that looked like to me.

Biped robots? Most likely not going to happen. It would take some serious engineering and programing, your probably talking about merging Tesla self driving Tech wilth lidar tech, and adding gyro technolgy. Most likely the first biped robots that can do anything useful will be so heavy they would probably fall through the average persons floor, or not even to be able to fit through the average doorway.
