NASA JPL's RoboSimian robot stood out at the DARPA Robotics Challenge as one of the few non-humanoid designs. The use of four versatile limbs allows it to adapt to the test scenario in ways that would be difficult for a bipedal robot. We chat with Katie Byl of the UC Santa Barbara Robotics Lab, whose team programmed RoboSimian, to learn about the advantages of a quadruped design and how RoboSimian may be utilized in complex environments like being underground or even in space!

The thumbnail made this look so much larger....
Forced perspective
+David Ezzio
I actually thought it was smaller...
I thought it was going to be like an HK Centurion from the Terminator.
i was disapointed before i clicked.
Perspective
Norm is such a great interviewer, well informed and his enthusiasm for the subjects always comes across
Ape like? The fuck? It clearly resembles a spider...
***** I said resembles a spider you pleb.
Jason Yingling learn the definition of ''resemble'' you pleb.
Jason Yingling PLEBS ARE NEEDED!
***** only in mcdonalds
jason stewart troll harder
Your interviews are really great Norm
iiCUBE OiD thanks!
I absolutely agree! Really interesting
iiCUBE OiD I agree, he always asks such intuitive questions and clearly listens to his interviewees well and responds to what they say rather than just relying on scripted questions. Norm always shows his passion for not just subjects he already knows about, he clearly loves learning more about those he's perhaps less well versed on.
iiCUBE OiD He's really gotten better over the years. I remember a time where I couldn't watch videos with Norm interviews but now, I really enjoy them!
iiCUBE OiD Much better than Will
Great idea and design she describes it really well and is so enthusiastic great to see
- HELP! HELP!
- Stay calm sir, our robot is going to rescue you
- Oh thank god!
..30 years later the robot came to find just bones..
Norm: Great interview! Katie: Awesome bot! Thanks for posting.
3:20 is really interesting. The leg actually scrapes against the blocks while it takes a rather odd trajectory. I can't help wonder whether that collision was planned and accounted for, or whether it was just lucky that it didn't destabilize the robot.
A good example of thinking "outside the box," but nothing about this seems "ape-like" to me. It's more like a spider that is missing half its legs.
Regarding over-torquing the fingers and breaking them, it seems to me that a simple solution can be found on a lot of drill motors, where you have a simple clutch mechanism that releases at a given torque setting. Then it would just be a matter of recalibrating for zero rotation, which should be quite easy.
Thats not really the issue. You can easily downgrade the strength or add a clutch (good idea), it's the robots ability to know when to use say,a small force to open a door handle, or alot of force to rip open a jammed car door or something similar. Thats the A.I. part that's hard to programme as its a very human feature.
Norm is really talented at interviewing. He can just pick up related questions so quickly.
I love the wheels. Limbs are great for certain situations but pretty inefficient for flat ground.
I didn't notice her voice at all, the robot was too awesome and she did a really good job of talking about it. Going back and listening again, it sounds like she was probably straining her voice to be louder over the crowd noise.
Thanks Norm, for letting her speak and asking into what she is saying, happy that I made my payment to your show. few weeks back
Advanced Automation is going to revolutionize the world for coming decades.
Still waiting for a functional TARS robot...
That would be great... anyone else like the movie a lot?
Steven DUDE I bet you did. NERD!
Steven DUDE everyone liked the movie. Everyone else did not understand it lol^^
+Gimli Son of Glóin I understood what could be understood and I was werry disappointed.
+Bokor Albert I understood what the movie was getting at. No, it wasn't 100% accurate, but at the end of the day it's what I watched, and in entertained me and that's what it was about. The entertainment. ^-^
I don't know why, but when it threw it's arms up in the air, shuffled along on it's bum and then poked the door open I absolutely lost my shit!!! hahaha
To make something like this jump, a spring in the knee, a controllable ratchet, and the ability to disengage the motor from the knee, so it doesn't resist the jump. Click, click click... then snap! As it pulls the pin on the ratchet
what a great interviewer and interviewee. thanks!
One of my favorites, versatile and powerful. Oh and I want Her shirt!!!
Norm you are one of the best tech reporters I have ever seen. Keep up man....
Very impressive robot. And enjoyable interview to boot.
Lol, Howard Wolowitz lookin buffed at 2:23
where can i see full footage from each round for each robot?
God damn this video reminded me why I subbed way back when you were interviewing Oculus about the DK1. You ask all the right questions, Norm!
3:19 He played that off smooth. Didn't want people knowing he slipped, so he did a smooth arm wave gesture lol.
Dude, I'm dying. Did that robot just drive a fucking cart and climb out like it ain't no thang? Hilarious! I'd pay to see this live.
But does it make professional style coffee in a domestic setting?
I´m pretty sure that they don´t develope such robots to serve anybody a coffee,if you know what i mean.
99% of the comments are about the voice of the engineer or the fact that ape-like robot makes them think of a spider. There is no hope for humanity.
No it shows people are egotistical, some dymethyltriptamine or psilocybin should sort that out in a jiffy
5:42 That what it looks like when my great grandma tries to get out of the car, and the same speed.
1:43
I see that Ubuntu OS! Proud of you JPL
You don't know robotics do you you can only use LINUX OS ROS for robotics programming
@@codepirate7717 what
Whats the software they are using at 1:43 ? it's on linux?
loveing her enthusiasm!
This was a great interview, good job Norm.
Great. It goes into a burning building to rescue someone, and the victims run screaming into the fire to get away from a giant spider!
This reminded me of the junior robot club competition in Atom the Beginning. Really good anime.
This is great for someone who needs to be saved in 4 to 6 hours.
Super interesting interview! :) Insane how amazing these things are becoming. Not quite a Terminator yet but on its way! :D
Those noodle limbs, are fascinating to watch.
Really cool, I'll be excited to see what that team with have in ten years.
When I hear NASA I feel instantly interested, when I hear DARPA... not so much. This looks much like the best concept for a "human useful robot". Besides I have not seen any attempt to attach any gun to it. Lol
Quadruped is much better design idea than bipedal. Keep up the good work.
I think this robot can be combined with Project Tango by Google ATAP. It can maps real life into 3d model and the RoboSimian can use it to make decision autonomously.
Very coo, it's a really interesting idea. I liked the questions as well tested quite insightful
All i learned from videogame is to SHOOT THOSE THINGS!
enjoyed it. Very informative. Nice interview style.
Even they are using ROS. Cool!
This looks so freaking hilarious :D
Rolling around on his butt with the arms flailing in the air XD
Her voice is so soothing!
THANKS FOR SHARING
it claims
most unique
it has awsome strength with out excersize mobility
I like her she's fully automating ♡
smart...
situation awareness of the surrounding areas in
to much for me
THANKS FOR SHARING
At 1:35 to 1:43... nothing on this earth has ever reminded me so much of Cain from RoboCop 2. I must have watched those few second over and over a dozen times. Perhaps the 80s stop motion robots were more "right" than anyone could have known, hahaha.
She's awesome. So enthusiastic!
very impressive robot, great piece
Make it bigger, add a cockpit and get that robot in the Mech challenge next year.
Whats that thing at 0:16 ? I feel like i have seen it somewhere?
norm is a great anchor.
the situation with the door handle could be solved with a spill valve which doesn't allow it to pass max torque that triggers an error message. you could trigger a push pull on the door to test if it would open at that point,
The robot can walk, but it doesn't have to. The ass-mounted wheels are ingenious! I would install them on myself if I could.
steve1978ger get a uniball caster and some lube... im sure you can make it
I'd love to see a battlebot made like RoboSimian. Except for it's slow speed, which would have to be increased.
In order to have better 3D perceptive of the surrounding by the robot to move smooth and fast on any given environment ,it could be aided/equipped with self deploy able inbuilt drone (with sensor & camera).
This design could have some real practical applications in some areas. I am imagining it on a much larger scale handling some heavy duty work with implements each limb. Its ability to handle uneven terrain is huge. It is not practical for any general consumer application that I can see. Very cool regardless.
You guys should go to an FTC competition!!!! There is tons of young robotics junkies competing!!!
That first lil lether climbing robot was damn cute
Of course, these robots are for "rescuing" people. That's what they tell you in the beginning.
BTW, the marketing team screwed up the robot's logo. It says, "Velodyne" instead of, "Cyberdyne."
Great interview!
Its just a SLoth that needs to adapt in a new environment. Someday they can make Steroid Sloth. Thats really amazing. Nice start guys.
Good interview, Norm!
Run for your life. That Robot it's going to blow up.
Translation; harder than it looks.Good interview Katie. :)
it should be nicknamed the SLOTH seems suitable
X-ATM092 in the making!
I would like to see Boston Dynamics Big Dog with some of the robotic arms from one of the last videos.
She's so nervous, props.
Excellent. DARPA making the world a better place I think with the help of the people making their bots for the challenge.
Also nice to see female engineers/ sciencetists taking part. Hopefully things like this will inspire.
Zanzubaa1 yeah when the female has voice of a thousand babies crying and why does it even matter to you .that the engineer is female or male does it neglect the research he has done .it's only credible if a women does it for people like you. well men the new second class citizen.
Id love to hear her talk in a more natural environment - fascinating stuff!
nice vid, informative n cool
Insert "THEY MOVE FUCKIN SLOW" meme here
Ah, love a big, beautiful, non-humanoid robot ^_^
Somebody make a Tachikoma already
this lady is great
JPL was like a master joining a small server
Was C-3PO an inspiration for the team? I just noticed he's standing between the human and robosimian on her shirt.
This thing might be able to explore Martian caves, i.e., the best candidate for an inner solar system environment where exobiology may still be alive.
She sounds like Sheldon, when Kripke played a prank on him with the helium
Good job Norm!!!
RoboSloth...Stroooong but slooooow. Better name to me at least. I love the design ^^ yeah its best to be slow in very big situations of course, i love it. To me you'd need a speedier companion for that robot though. You could let it carry the other, faster robot for situations that are tighter. Wish i could give you my ideas...
RoboSimian, how about that for a movie title?
MegaBots should totally build a battle bot with four legs and mini guns.
Let me re-name this vid....meet some people talking about JPL's robot and showing 5 seconds of the actual robot.
THE VOICE GOSH
Well they could have used electrical load as a way to sense feedback when turning the door knob, without having to use extra sensors.
"Saving people" + DARPA is like mixing water with oil, being the best at saving lives also means being the best at taking lives if that robot can walk, open doors and maneuver obstacles then strapping a couple of rocket launchers to it isn't the big problem
Wow amazing robot!
It's so slow, everyone in a rescue event would surely die.
Let's build a robot and worry about power source later! Because a tether is super functional.
imagine this in big scale with guns full armor terror
Her mind is gorgeous...
Awesome!
OMG! The math and processing power to control all those joints. I think its overkill or unnecessary.
I wonder, what is that rotating cylinder thing in its head. I have seen it on Boston dynamics robots as well. Anyone ?
binod thapa Laser terrain scanner
the way she shiver sounds like she is lil nervous of the interview
great one guys!
