We're on Episode 37 and the amazing thing is I learned about pretty much every episode in my undergraduate course in electrical engineering. From Abstract Data types to Networks to Robotics
Hey CC! idk if you guys will see this but I’ve watched a lot of you guy’s videos! I think it’s so great that there’s a actual decent UA-cam channel for educational purposes and I’ve learned quite a bit! BUT I think what would make you guys channel 100x better would be to have quiz’s/tests for your videos so people can see how much smarter they are becoming and can tell if they are improving! Would love to get a response from you guys about this!
Wait a minute... 'Robota' is not a 'Slavic language word for a forced laborer'. In many Slavic languages, 'robota' simply means work, job or alternatively hard labor but definitely not a forced laborer. Maybe in Czech it does also mean something else. Not sure.
..Except for the creation and execution of the automation, which will forever remain the purview of the inventor and the technologist, lest we find ourselves upon the threshold of the Matrix or any other number of 'topias in which society is oblique.
When you started talking about biped robots failing to walk, I was expecting some minutes dedicated to Force Control. Nonetheless, it was an amazing episode!
"they said the same with Nuclear bombs(stopping wars)" yea and since nuclear bombs we have gone by FAR the longest time in history without super powers going to war with eachother.....
When my nephew was younger, he'd take his mom's phone and call my mom whenever he saw anything remotely mechanical, saying "Bubbe! Robot!" Sometimes he'd add more detail. If he saw one of those ramps that lets wheelchairs onto a bus, he'd say "Bubbe! Robot go up!"
Heck no you shouldn't give up!!! I failed 4 programming classes in a row! After my last report card, I sat looking at my book, and told myself, "I'm going to learn this with or without a college class!" I opened to page 1 and started reading and doing the examples...slowly. It's been almost 20 years now, I trained my son and he's also an accomplished programmer, and neither of us have degrees! Just be prepared to try hard and study hard. (Much harder than your average college student.) I'm nearly 50 and still study on a daily basis.
Try out some online learning resources first to see if you respond well to it. Some tutorials are better than others so don't be discouraged if you can't follow one - it's probably a bad tutorial.
That 1920's play that Carrie Anne mentioned at the start is called "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" and was written by Czech playwright Karel Čapek.
a puddle on tatooine? i think not! and artoo better get that coffee to old ben (even if he has to get in some rocket booster action to do so), he deserves it!
Dear Carrie, thank you for your useful and great videos. I have a question please, How can I make wonderful videos like yours? I mean design and the cartoon stuff. Thank you.
"Azimov"? Asimov. And he didn't invent the three laws as some kind of solution for the problem of robotic ethics - they were a really rough starting point, and the stories he wrote based on them were almost all about how those laws went wrong and were not adequate on their own.
Very strange episode. A bit of history with some hiccups (e.g. The Czech word 'Robot'); You mention Autonomous Cars, but no UAVs or AUVs; the terminator is mentioned and how we are trying to make androids, but nothing about how robots are used in healthcare, warehouses or factories (their main use up to date). To top it all of sudden basics of Control theory and PID controllers. Very strange episode.
Kids want to 'play' games that travel (i.e. pokemon) why not make lots of inexpensive drones in many different types (subs, tanks, aircraft)? The museums & other educational institutions of the world could create clues to build interest in school subjects. Ever imagine flying over the Eiffel tower, crossing the arctic, or exploring under water caves...? Instead of waiting to connect to an online game, or selecting tools, kids would be waiting to find an empty drone in that part of the world & connect to it. They can request the builders to fit different scanning & measurement devices, or they could build & ship theirs to a charging facility near by. Build tons of jobs all across the globe.
once we robots achieve full AI and in essence become sentient, will it still be ethical to treat like robots/slaves? Will they not revolt at being sent to fight wars that are not theirs? Now this is still science fiction, but at the rate technology has advanced especially in the last two decades we need to think about these things now. The movie "Ex Machina" as well as the great TV series BSG (the reimagined one) dealt with this issue in a very provocative and interesting way. No clear answers were given, but they did address the issue. What is sentience? At what point do we declare a machine self-aware? Will we grant these machines the same rights that we now call human rights? In the effort to create machines that can replace soldiers for example, we inevitably try to give those machines the same capabilities as a human. The ability to observe, judge, decide and act on that decision. The line between what we now consider uniquely human and robot/machine intelligence may get blurred. After all, we still don't fully understand how our brains operate and how the "self" is created. After all, everything psychological is ultimately biological. Our brains use chemical as well as electrical signals to communicate. So, I don't think the question is not whether or not we can create a self-aware machine, but when. Once machines are able to learn on their own and build their own neural networks in a way similar to an organic brain, they will most likely look for models similar to a child. Will they take the best that humanity has to offer? Will they see us a threat or simply a nuisance? Or will they take the best that humanity has to offer and work with humanity?
Christian O. Holz AI is still going to have to be taught what morals are and it will be unbiased to everything, even self preservation unless it is programmed inherently to want to preserve its self
The first mentioning of an automaton or robot thet I know of is in the Iliad. Not quite the place one would expect to find a robot. Hephaistos had some automatons working as servants.
AI aren't a problem because they have some sinister alterior motive, they are dangerous because they could do exactly what they're told to do and still have bad results. Think about that one myth about a golem who flooded his master's house because it was asked to bring him a cup of water
They do what they're programmed to do. They wont intend to do anything to us unless we design them with free will and no morality system. On another note, we seem to function just fine with other humans without completely knowing their intentions or motivations.
You will never take man off the battlefield. Who do you think robots will target. When we get their their will be robots on both sides. May the best A.I win
We should use machine learning in order to teach robots about morality and ethics, whilst using variations of the Three Laws as a set of training wheels until they are fully matured. We should also be teaching ethics and morality to bots/agents on the internet, ESPECIALLY copyright/demonitization bots.
Why is it so shocking that robots have trouble doing things humans take for granted? Humans have millions of years of natural selection debugging our software; robots have only been around for a few decades.
Aside: "Combat robots would be taking orders from humans and executing them as efficiently as possible, but sometimes human orders turn out to be really bad." How is this an argument against combat robots? Are human soldiers supposed to be able to determine when orders are bad and then not do them?I mean, they _can,_ but they're at least as likely to _not_ follow orders when they _aren't_ bad. (More to the point: How anyone living after both Nazi Germany and the Milgram Experiment believe most people will think twice about heinous orders?)
Timothy McLean you still have a small chance of revolt. Demoralization can sometimes end wars quicker. Honestly we don't really know what will happen but this is a new territory, you can't deny it.
Once wars are being fought by robots it will still be down to, who can kill the most opposing humans*, and/or who runs the opposition out of resources first. SSDD. *Most being, however many whichever side is willing to give up, before saying "uncle".
My concern about the loss of jobs due to automation is best expressed by CGP Grey’s video Rules for Rulers: if a large farm can be productive without many humans, a military can seize it like an oil well. Over a whole country, couldn’t that promote dictatorship? (Folks who are working on AI safety: what are the current thoughts about this?)
I feel like the categorization of A[z]imov's laws of robotics is a bit glib. If you read his robot-centric stories, they are usually all about mishaps and problems with the interpretation of the laws, which are seen by more naive characters as perfectly valid and complete rulesets. If anything, the laws read more to me like the parody product of a strawman overambitious engineer or philosopher that takes themselves too seriously.
Robotic technology is machine intelligence which is different from human intelligence. robotic should have their unique design not using current CPU, all heading toward wrong direction.
"Communism was responsible for the deaths of over 100,000,000 last century." lulz Sure, and "communism" did it. As if communism is just one big monolith. Is 'socialism' a synonym of evil to you? "Human life means nothing in their quest for power." Whose? Dictators' like Stalin? Yeah. You know, capitalism (and western imperialism) results in deaths and slavery but I guess it's all cool as long as you get to enjoy your expensive coffee, smartphones, diamonds, and so on. I mean, the poor and the sick deserve to die, right? Remember that a class war is also a war of race, gender, and more. There is no equality under capitalism, authoritarianism.
People blame capitalism all the time for things that are completely unrelated to it. For example: slavery and monopolies. But not many people realize that slavery and monopolies are forbidden under pure capitalism: capitalism is about making free choices, whereas monopolies and slavery forbid it. So if we can't blame communism for what happens in those countries, you can't really blame capitalism for much either.
So.. a few inaccuracies in this video. First, Isaac Asimov's point was that those laws DIDN'T WORK, so bringing them up as a good "general framework" is deeply ironic. Second, why show decade old footage of DARPA challenges when modern robots accomplish those tasks pretty well? Why no footage of Boston Dynamics? Finally, what you described in relation to Androids is called the "uncanny valley", and is widely regarded as the last step before something becomes believable - we are much closer than you suggest in this video to Androids appearing and behaving humanly. This channel is normally pretty good, but this episode was a bit lacking and misleading I think.
We're on Episode 37 and the amazing thing is I learned about pretty much every episode in my undergraduate course in electrical engineering. From Abstract Data types to Networks to Robotics
Currently wrapping up a semester of controller design! You guys did a really good job explaining the basics, middle school me would have loved this.
I learned more in this video than I did in a semester-long controls course in engineering school!
I JUST watched a robot do parkour like 20 minutes ago lol, they're figuring it out.
Boston Dynamics have some more impressive humanoid robots. Also isn't the point of Asimov's laws that it's hard to get good rules for AI safety?
Robots are the body of ai
Hey CC! idk if you guys will see this but I’ve watched a lot of you guy’s videos! I think it’s so great that there’s a actual decent UA-cam channel for educational purposes and I’ve learned quite a bit!

Would love to get a response from you guys about this!
The PID explanation is so lovely!
I didn't know that dr. eggman was soviet before this video.
"Lethal Autonomous Weapons" is a fair description, but also a terrifying acronym; as in "Obey the L.A.W. or get shot".
Wait a minute... 'Robota' is not a 'Slavic language word for a forced laborer'. In many Slavic languages, 'robota' simply means work, job or alternatively hard labor but definitely not a forced laborer. Maybe in Czech it does also mean something else. Not sure.
No, you're right. 'Robota' means forced labor, not forced laborer in Czech too.
in Russian rabota = work or job...
очень плохое исследование блядь
Nobody cares about russian, see.
Except about 300-400 millions speakers... But you know better.
Love the Star Wars animation, especially the inclusion of Mogg! Part man, part dog. He's his own best friend!
I loved the Daft Punk reference ;D
The time of falling humanoïd robots is already over I've seen one during a class standing on one foot like a dancer. They are very impressive
yeah ikr. have you seen atlas from boston dynamics? larger than a human and it can do backflips. look it up.
Um, people are still interested to build robots from scratch which would be likely that they will fall.
Should do a video on FRC and VEX robotics competitions. Highschool students will love that!
"Are we there yet? yes! and also please be quiet."
Both a Spaceballs and a Metropolis reference? Good times Crash Course, good times :-).
How did I miss a spaceballs reference? That's one of my favourite movies!
Make a video about UA-cam bots too🙏
Write an autobigraphy instead, bro.
That video would get Demonitized.
I use PID controllers at work to keep my setups at a stable temperature :-)
Lol I did that too.
Way to go Carrie Anne!
7:43 - When u drank too much vodka
We should automate everything and end human labor forever
Yeah and what these humans will do? probably starve to death or die in civil wars...
And who would own the means of production?
Rich people of course...
It will probably happen whether we want it to or not. But we'll need an entirely new approach to economics and the way we live.
..Except for the creation and execution of the automation, which will forever remain the purview of the inventor and the technologist, lest we find ourselves upon the threshold of the Matrix or any other number of 'topias in which society is oblique.
When talking about robot ethics one should always mention "With Folded Hands." Possibly the most frightening of all the robot stories.
When you started talking about biped robots failing to walk, I was expecting some minutes dedicated to Force Control. Nonetheless, it was an amazing episode!
"they said the same with Nuclear bombs(stopping wars)"
yea and since nuclear bombs we have gone by FAR the longest time in history without super powers going to war with eachother.....
So much valuable information i got HERE. Thank you so much!!! CPU next time☺️❤️❤️❤️
those robots falling made me laugh... don't know why... found it very funny hahahah
Hey Carrie Anne. Nice video.
Brilliant show, and host... but thank God for subtitles.
Asimov, not Azimov.
Azimov sounds as good as it gets
Oh thanks, I thought I was the only one who noticed
When my nephew was younger, he'd take his mom's phone and call my mom whenever he saw anything remotely mechanical, saying "Bubbe! Robot!"
Sometimes he'd add more detail. If he saw one of those ramps that lets wheelchairs onto a bus, he'd say "Bubbe! Robot go up!"
I want to major in computer science but don't know how to program should I give up?
Heck no you shouldn't give up!!! I failed 4 programming classes in a row! After my last report card, I sat looking at my book, and told myself, "I'm going to learn this with or without a college class!" I opened to page 1 and started reading and doing the examples...slowly. It's been almost 20 years now, I trained my son and he's also an accomplished programmer, and neither of us have degrees!

Computer science and programming are not the same thing.
Computer science is hard. Programming not so much.
That 1920's play that Carrie Anne mentioned at the start is called "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" and was written by Czech playwright Karel Čapek.
Basically Ultron followed the laws he wanted to save humanity to destroy it
How did I never realize before now that the Honda ASIMO was named as a nod to Isaac Asimov?!?!?
Barf! No, not me, I mean the mog. You know, the half-man, half-dog, from Spaceballs! He's his own best friend. Played by the late John Candy.
Well done!
I love your video soooo much. Could you make a video about database as well?
50 years from now, a robot will be doing the crashcourse
We want crash course control systems
Yesssss
GREAT.
a puddle on tatooine? i think not! and artoo better get that coffee to old ben (even if he has to get in some rocket booster action to do so), he deserves it!
Dear Carrie, thank you for your useful and great videos.
I have a question please,
How can I make wonderful videos like yours? I mean design and the cartoon stuff.

The coolest robots are those that transform into cars and planes and stuff.

I'm surprised that you did not mention Sophia (Hanson Robotics) that was recently granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia.
"robots fail at things like petting a dog ... these are all active areas of research" good good ... soon my doge love bots will be prefect
I'm not saying it was robits, but it was definitely robuts.

You should do an episode on how online disinformation campaigns work. It's a useful skill to know in today's world.
That's not really computer science though...
Seems like it might belong more in the sociology series perhaps.
Either way, it's something people need to know.
The first mentioning of an automaton or robot thet I know of is in the Iliad. Not quite the place one would expect to find a robot. Hephaistos had some automatons working as servants.
Freaking AI turrets in S.Korea. I wounder what will a N.Korea soldier will think if he meets one? Must be demoralizing.
Wow..
Already 37th video..
Sure I have a lot of free time.
Can humans coincide with A.I. without worrying about their actual intentions?
Of course. They just need to be dumber than us
AI aren't a problem because they have some sinister alterior motive, they are dangerous because they could do exactly what they're told to do and still have bad results. Think about that one myth about a golem who flooded his master's house because it was asked to bring him a cup of water
If it was programmed to be able to develop ANY intention, without any limitations.
Doubt so. Humans have primitive mentality. They see robots and AI as a predator.
They do what they're programmed to do. They wont intend to do anything to us unless we design them with free will and no morality system. On another note, we seem to function just fine with other humans without completely knowing their intentions or motivations.
So...robots work on negative loops?
For some reason I saw two androids shittalking to each other.
3 more crash courses to go.
Crash course should do a video explaining is water wet
You will never take man off the battlefield. Who do you think robots will target. When we get their their will be robots on both sides. May the best A.I win
In what universe is Asimov spelled with a z?
We should use machine learning in order to teach robots about morality and ethics, whilst using variations of the Three Laws as a set of training wheels until they are fully matured. We should also be teaching ethics and morality to bots/agents on the internet, ESPECIALLY copyright/demonitization bots.
WHY WAS I PROGRAMMED TO FEEL PAIN!
Steven Wills for my amusement.
"every step is a new nightmare!"
To not die.
In order to protect your feeble squishy meatbag body from injury.
Because of survival.
"robotnik" in Polish literally means manual labour worker (blue collar worker)
Crash Course AI and Robotics when?
Why is it so shocking that robots have trouble doing things humans take for granted? Humans have millions of years of natural selection debugging our software; robots have only been around for a few decades.

Timothy McLean you still have a small chance of revolt. Demoralization can sometimes end wars quicker. Honestly we don't really know what will happen but this is a new territory, you can't deny it.
Because it kind-of feels like if something is really easy for us, then we should be able to write a set of instructions on how to do it.
None of the robots you showed are "supercomputer powered robots"...
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Once wars are being fought by robots it will still be down to, who can kill the most opposing humans*, and/or who runs the opposition out of resources first. SSDD.
*Most being, however many whichever side is willing to give up, before saying "uncle".
Subtítulos?
Was that a Daft Punk joke?
Anne-droid confirmed!
Crash Course Science Fiction Literature when?
the end reminded me about the iron giant
I love robot with sum sense (AI) ...☺☺☺
My concern about the loss of jobs due to automation is best expressed by CGP Grey’s video Rules for Rulers: if a large farm can be productive without many humans, a military can seize it like an oil well. Over a whole country, couldn’t that promote dictatorship?

I think I saw somewhere that the word "robot" came form some one's name... I might be wrong tho...
So what you're saying is robots are daft punks?
Finally! the bots are here!!
Lethal Autonomous Weapons...LAW
2 meters per sec that's is not safe for a coffee.
I love Barf.
I don't see that any more needs to be said.
Lol, "...feudal. nineteenth century Europe." - that's incredible how guys which are so smart in CS might be so ignorant in history
Does anyone know a good place to start learning code?
Sleepy cx
Codeacademy.
Kahn academy. Awesome resources for getting a handle on different coding environments
Does anyone proofread this? It's Asimov, not Azimov.
Robotic technology is machine intelligence which is different from human intelligence.
robotic should have their unique design not using current CPU, all heading toward wrong direction.
We need a crash course AI safety. Oh wait, there's already Robert Miles' channel for that!
Those interested in AI safety should make their way over to Robert Miles' channel right now. He's the guy from Computerphile
I did not know he has his own channel. Thanks for the tip!
What I want in life is a decent TV drama series about the robopocalypse with Rob Miles as consultant.
Not interested.
Excelsior Books, did it cross your mind that other people might not be interested in your disinterest? But thanks for sharing, anyway =)
"Dainty Human" is that their preferred nomenclature? Or are you making fun of Little People?
Wait, when did Dr. Eggman become a communist? I missed that part. :/
What the communist symbol for that's a bit random.
Other courses like Sociology get accused of being "communist" or similar nonsense all the time, so they need to balance it out a bit. :D
"Communism was responsible for the deaths of over 100,000,000 last century." lulz Sure, and "communism" did it. As if communism is just one big monolith. Is 'socialism' a synonym of evil to you? "Human life means nothing in their quest for power." Whose? Dictators' like Stalin? Yeah.

I mean, the poor and the sick deserve to die, right? Remember that a class war is also a war of race, gender, and more. There is no equality under capitalism, authoritarianism.
@HomelessOnline Communism was responsible for 10,000,000,000 deaths last century, you snob.
People blame capitalism all the time for things that are completely unrelated to it. For example: slavery and monopolies. But not many people realize that slavery and monopolies are forbidden under pure capitalism: capitalism is about making free choices, whereas monopolies and slavery forbid it. So if we can't blame communism for what happens in those countries, you can't really blame capitalism for much either.
Anti-communist propaganda also known as history books.

Yes. There are many reasons why the original "laws" would actually fail to work. There are some nice videos on UA-cam explaining it.
I heard that the word robot meant "helper", and the guy who coined that term actually got the idea from the Jewish mythology of Golems.
im really intrested in why you include many mongols figure :>
A commie robot!! 10:22 but more like doctor Eggman from Sonic the hedgehog
I'm a robot.
Make a video on net neutrality to raise awareness.
qız simit göbek yapmı
Wait did they pay daft punk?
take that creeper off ur shelf right now and burn it. thx ;)
