Am I the only one here congratulating these guys on doing some amazing work so that humans can finally do things they would never do by them selves. This could save lives, explore planets, or do just do tasks to make our lives easier. You guys are what I inspire to be and keep doing a good job, I sense a bright light in your future.
Lytsout193 I'd rather have a full autonomous robot. Faster, better reflexes than humans, split-second decision-making, etc. And add a little artificial intelligence and we'll have human 2.0, the better and smarter human.
It's a connection wired. If the robot were to be deployed on a mission far away from the controller, chances are the communication method would be a satellite, or radio frequency. So the controller would have a slight delay. (Depending on the distance the signal has to travel)
I could totally see the military investing in this thing. Imagine having a task force of these little guys, piloted by veteran soldiers. They could handle high risk scenarios like manning turrets, breaching doors with unknown number of enemies inside, rescue wounded soldiers hit by snipers and so on.
The obvious approach for hazardous disaster relief robots. I would however suggest making it human size so the motor skills directly translate and get the latency and slaving much better. Aim for full running capability. I'm guessing closed loop latency needs to get below 5ms. Angular precision maybe 1 degree. No jitter
I was wondering are you guys looking into recording the human movement and implanted into the robots. This way you don't have to control it all the time. So when the robots see the soda can it can recall the memory and knows it's a soda can. Trigger either grabs, crushes or if there liquid inside the soda can trigger either drinks or pour depends on the situations. Of course, this will needs a cameras for the robots to be able to scan and see it surrounded.
I recommend you use a neuron sensory glove to control its movement virtually. The sensors transmit signals such as the pressure or force applied or required to the human for precise control and manipulation whilst providing open palm freedom.
Basically what we concluded from the recent darpa robot challenge competition is that robot are good at extreme things like super strength and surviving in extreme conditions, but they are bad at small things like balancing and logic. So we are merging the gap by having human operators handle what humans are good at and having the robots do what they are good at like surviving bullets and teargas, or working round the clock in the dark while lifting 200lb boxes.
Magneto! the gap may have just been closed with cloud robotics using big data. Its already possible for robots to behave by themselves and learn from its experiences and predict what it will have to do and do it accuretly without being told. In terms of balancing that just needs a few years(10 years) like any other tech.
Yes, but more powerful servos have a bigger size and power consumption. Since the idea here is to have this bot crawling his way inside a building or something like it. I don't know, i am not an expert ^^ just a programmer :p
What kind of actuators are being used here? Typically, robotic actuators can be two of fast, strong, and precise, but not all three. Looks like you've got fast and strong. How precise is it?
Serious question: Is there a way of implement a AI that learns the reflex of humans as its used? Like the chat bots that learn language while chatting?
This has been my feeling too, telemetry robots make much more sense than autonomous bots.. I think you need the bot to be able to move laterally (walking or driving) by 'itself' through commands input by the stationary human, but everything else should be 1:1 telemetry.
Excellent work guys! Is this system wireless? If so that's very low latency. Waldo systems like this have been around for some time but the balancing aspect takes it in a really interesting direction.
Not bad, but a skin tight leotard with woven-in accelerometers would be more user friendly, and hand dexterity would be much improved. Forceful feedback from the avatar robot could be generated by magnetic repulsers placed on strategic parts of the leotard and selectively activated.
This is really great. I had also had an idea of how feed forces back to a human operator by using motors on the human operator joints to kinematically limit the motion of the human joints so that when the robot pushes it's arm against a solid object the human operator would also feel the solid object. On a side note, I think the new standard for demonstrating any robot should be punching through a wall!!!!!
its funny how "disaster relief scenario" is the get out of jail free card for developing scary tech. like you know what? just say its fucking scary and epic and can do a lot of shit. we're either gonna find out the easy way or the hard way......
It think... this is awesome I think this technology can be used many various field 걍 대단하다 우리나라 대학은 카이스트 제외하고 기계공학과나 로보공학과에서 이런거 만드나...? 전부 자신이 빛이 나서 회사에 뽑힐 생각은 하지않고 왜 자신이 회사에 빌빌 빌어서 기어들어갈 생각만 하는건 아닐지... 비록 나도 나의 앞날은 예상못한다고 스스로 빛내기가 어렵다고는 하지만... 한번쯤은 생각해 볼 만한 것 같습니다.
a pity it will go to the military exclusively for 10-50 years if proven viable...after that a commercial version that runs on oil will be available to the public.

RedEd64 Thank you!
John Mayo You are welcome (:p)--->----
I think that is much better than a full autonomous robot. It would be cool for space walks!
Lytsout193 This is how they get the cat like Ninja reflexes into the autonomous robots that will chase you down and subdue you, at best.
Lytsout193 and for taking your job too!
Lytsout193 I'd rather have a full autonomous robot. Faster, better reflexes than humans, split-second decision-making, etc.

benetx what job? plz hes only taking warehouse,agricultural jobs,manuel abor jobs ...nobody wants to do warehouse or work in the fields anymore.
Lytsout193 There will be full autonomous robots, it's inevitable..
The response time with the robot and the person is really fast.
batman 5053 Indeed it is quite fast..
batman 5053 are you being sarcastic or not
Rendra Kusuma nope

i could see the input lag lol
this looks to be an excellent area of research in my opinion
Innovations that can change our lives.
MIT is definitely the college i will be at in the future.
I could totally see the military investing in this thing. Imagine having a task force of these little guys, piloted by veteran soldiers.

"Put the human's brain inside the robot."
Do you want the robotic villan from robocop? Cause this is how you get the robotic villan from robocop.
buddhaman001 You've been watching far too many films.
buddhaman001 You have been watching far too much Archer
lol he didn't mean it literally.
1:28 Oh I'm sorry was that your soda... nope it's the robots.
Needs 2 cameras for stereoscopic vision, depth perception is critical.
Nice use of 3d printed parts there! #3dprinting #robotics #telepresence

That gen 1 prototype is coming along nicely, do they already have a synth retention bureau?
Hahaha
Brilliant. And the best part is If you combine this with deep learning the robot might be able to balance on it's own after enough time.
Closest thing to a Jaeger that we have.
The beginning of synths
Yes
Will there be a full body case? I'm nervous that the wires will get caught in something.
FIRMLY GRASP IT
haha smart guys, at 1:23 you taped over the Makita in the drill... You missed the Makita on the battery pack!!
Steve Clark They should only tape over the A's and K. M -ak- IT -a-
+icepick method lol! So true!

Magneto! The bots can learn based on the human control over them. I guess AI comes into play here.
Looks like ImmersionRC 5.8 wireless video system with Fatshark goggles. Neat to see some drone stuff carrying over to the robot world
2:19 One day this will be a human skull.
joão ramos is brazilian?
***** Yes I am! :)
João Luiz Ramos Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Gostei muito da precisão e velocidade de resposta do robô.
João Luiz Ramos Muito bom!! Parabéns João, e obrigado por representar tão bem o Brasil no exterior!
João Luiz Ramos Parabéns pelo trabalho, é muito gratificante saber de brasileiros que estão realizando pesquisas de ponta!
Zing! Reading the humans reactions to use as corrective directions for the robot. Brilliant!
Wow this Real Steel prequel is really scientific. Much praise.
Defiantly need to work on that latency timing. Looks like its more then 100ms
***** still an incredible improve compared to before. Normally it would take 1-2 secounds
***** perhaps optimizing the code and giving it a little more processor power and memory. :)
Eduardo Ramires wouldn't the servo speed and torque factor in also ?
Yes, but more powerful servos have a bigger size and power consumption. Since the idea here is to have this bot crawling his way inside a building or something like it. I don't know, i am not an expert ^^ just a programmer :p
Eduardo Ramires Cool me too just web dev tho :)
quick question for mit or anybody that knows what type of motor they use for the shoulder?
paving the way for responsive mecha suits maybe?
What kind of actuators are being used here? Typically, robotic actuators can be two of fast, strong, and precise, but not all three. Looks like you've got fast and strong. How precise is it?
Serious question: Is there a way of implement a AI that learns the reflex of humans as its used? Like the chat bots that learn language while chatting?
Instead of long needle like buttons on the controllers, why not use a xbox or ps trigger? Seems fitting.
Absolutely incredible.

Congratulations, João. Nice job.
#Brazilian
Can it also find its way to charge a Tesla Model S?
I wan't to play a part in this after Im done serving the army.
Outstanding work. This is my dream job!
Oh god please make the rescue robot say "Come with me if you want to live!"
I can just imagine in the future and esport with this sort of tech!
Excellent work guys! Is this system wireless? If so that's very low latency. Waldo systems like this have been around for some time but the balancing aspect takes it in a really interesting direction.
Ive seen this in a movie.
And it never ends well...........
Too much wires?
So don't get mad when the robot kicks your butt :)
Parabéns, João Luiz Almeida de Souza Ramos!!
Damn, that's fancy. Good work!
Hey MIT,
I have really great idea for something.
Where can i get help to pursue it?
for some reason I get the feeling giving a robot that is stronger than a human autonomy is not the best of ideas
if we could make this like your actually living inside the robot think about what it could mean. perfect cosplay.
but how does it dance?
this isnt gonna lead to termanators. u need incredible advance ai to achieve that,this is just humans dabbleling with rc toy/tools
this could be sent in to any disaster area, would be great.
Now imagine a tiny one so you can walk around in a Lego city
Not bad, but a skin tight leotard with woven-in accelerometers would be more user friendly, and hand dexterity would be much improved. Forceful feedback from the avatar robot could be generated by magnetic repulsers placed on strategic parts of the leotard and selectively activated.
Cool idea!
Very interesting project, keep going !
I want robot wars, but with these. It'd be like a mini pacific rim
That's really cool! Can I pay money to operate that for like 15 minutes?
Good this will allow the robots to defend themselves against alien on space missions
body suit robotic duplication--- wow---very interesting!
This is really great. I had also had an idea of how feed forces back to a human operator by using motors on the human operator joints to kinematically limit the motion of the human joints so that when the robot pushes it's arm against a solid object the human operator would also feel the solid object.

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , strain wave reducer, robot joint ,
João Ramos, are you brazilian?
I love this research and how it can be used for peaceful purpose. Strictly not for war please
Learning robots human reflexes could be smart.
Have you guys not seen terminator
HawkFeedz Stop watching your damn fictional films!
+HawkFeedz off course!
but don't watch a fiction as a documentary ?
and you might wanna avoid the film 'attack of the killer tomatoes'
Scale it up and you'll have a BattleMech.
I want to go here more than anything.
Stronger than a human? Human intelligence? It's going to be Avengers 2 all over again........
its funny how "disaster relief scenario" is the get out of jail free card for developing scary tech. like you know what? just say its fucking scary and epic and can do a lot of shit. we're either gonna find out the easy way or the hard way......

This is basically the earlier version of iron man
This is literally a Pacific Rim robot.
I feel like this is a start to wars being fought by call of duty players
Have you seen terminator??
In 2055 blue collar work will be from home via this system but then 600 times better people will work via controlling distant robots
Oh nice. TERMINATOR v. 1
And so begins our journey to Pacific Rim being a reality.
Yall should probably work on a time machine as well as I suspect humanity is gonna need it if you guys succeed with these robots. #JustSaiyan
Lol
Finally.. Let the robot wars begin!
We are even closer to being ruled by Robot Overlords.
Darkcrusader242 STOP watching those damn sci-fi films!
Not "Robot with human reflexes" but "Robot using human reflexes"
This is pretty cool.
The robot has lag ^_^
Make it be able to walk have bullet proof all around it and you got a military robot
a pity it will go to the military exclusively for 10-50 years if proven viable...after that a commercial version that runs on oil will be available to the public.
Let's be real.
Everyone who works in robotics just wants a sex robot.
Bring it on Kaiju!
So far, all I've seen it do is crush cans and punch dry wall....Wouldn't it have been easier to just get a six pack and a frat guy?
"Put the human's brain inside the robot." "We've designed the robot to be stronger than a human."
Am I the only one concerned with where this is going?
this is brilliant! (as long as it is controlled by an human, and not weaponized... )
Why do Brazillians have so much trouble letting go of their accent? Damn.
HI MIT
This is really great 💯
The start of skynet
"Deplaaa a Human"
mecha suit robot, coming soon!
roboteers stand by
We are creating the end, way too go guys.
Give this robot a gun and the control to a Counter Strike progamer.
