Meet Mimus, The Curious Industrial Robot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2018
- Mimus is a giant industrial robot that's curious about the world around her. Unlike in traditional industrial robotics, Mimus has no pre-planned movements: she is programmed with the freedom to explore and roam about her enclosure. Mimus has no eyes, however - she uses sensors embedded in the ceiling to see everyone around her simultaneously. If she finds you interesting, Mimus may come in for a closer look and follow you around. But her attention span is limited: if you stay still for too long, she will get bored and seek out someone else to investigate.

Don't keep these in cages. So wrong.
Should be out in the wild with other robots.
laughed more than I should :D
#freeMimus
It's just more racist white colonialism!
@@YouMockMe The robot itself is white...
i think they're in cages because they might smack a person if they're doing a complex task and cages are a good way to keep humans out of things
all this reminds me of is glados from portal xD
Yep, me too, Glados is almost real at this point
@@VulpesRol U think i should try to make a scaled functional version?
@@marcustrust9449 No you must not
Lest we repeat the you know what
Cough the cake is a lie Cough
All that's left is access to neurotoxin releasing tanks scattered around the whole building.
I was thinking about Dog in HL2
Those glass walls need a sign reading:
PLEASE DO NOT FEED ROBOT
yes....don't feed yourself/ourselves to those things.
@@CaptainPilipinas Those robots aren't trying to eat _us_ ! They just want to cuddle. 🙂❤️
ever heard of biofuel conversion systems?
yeah....those would be a probable nightmare in a more advanced Earthly future (mainly after a catastrophic glitch-like situation due to military appilcations).
@@CaptainPilipinas Hehe. I'll definitely be scared when the robots stop referring to me as human and instead call me "one unit of biofuel."
"We are running up and down in front of a Frankensteinian motion detector on which's soulless cold body we project human emotions.
We get paid to be weird."
This is exactly why I find human-centered robots so fascinating. Especially the actual human interaction with them. The power of empathy is so strong within us that we see emotion in something that is quite literally a pile of nuts and bolds, some copper wire, and a string of 1s and 0s. The robot in the video "sees" with cameras on the ceiling, and realistically just points to what the code identifies as a target. The jitters and small movements it makes are just any inaccuracy in pinpointing a target being adjusted. But our minds interpret this same movement as a living being, and thinks of it as such. It's looking at me, so this circle thing must be its face. When it tilts its head, is it thinking? Is it curious? What does it think of me? Even if we know it's just a robot, we find ourselves thinking this nonetheless. We *know* it's just a robot. but we *_feel_* that it's alive.
Such a wild concept to think about. Just by slightly mimicking the quick movements of an animal, we already feel some sort of connection. How will this evolve as robots and the AI or software behind them get more advanced? How will the definition of "sentient" change once we create computers capable of thought processes? Is it possible to recreate sentience? How will we know we've done it? If we don't know how it happens now, by what values will we measure to be able to identify it? Is there such thing as a different type of sentience that we simply cannot comprehend?
Such wonderful things contemplate when I should be doing my math homework.
@@pyroeagle1089 That's why I felt that more dangerous, people start trusting it and forget that it still a machine, it doesn't see like humans see, the danger is when people come too close, it can and will smash you.
I entire time I was grinding my teeth in apprehension, note, I work with computing vision, its not near the perfection people's empathy make it seems.
@@monad_tcp maby so but its Not like Others humans dont do that also
Reminds me on something like... "Are-you-still-there?" ... "Target-aquired."
3:10, that mans joy easily made this whole project worth it, let alone all the applications this could have.
Fascinating, yet creepy...I did however feel the robot had curiosity, which gives it a little bit of a personality?? Whatever, I'm weird that way LOL.
makes a robot tracks humans -army puts robot on wheels and adds a gun
WHAT!? How did you find out!???
Common knowledge and the world wants more power. Of course they would
Army has had robots that can shoot humans automatically long before this video. Just look up the North-South Korea border.
Technically they can just use ciws to shoot human, it's not even hard
Wait till you see what Boston Dynamics is doing now.
Beautiful, inspiring, and promising. Technology will be more organic than people can imagine.
As a robot user for automotive industry, I like to see different uses than the traditional ones.
This project is interesting and fun.
Just out of curiosity what language is used there to program it looks like some sort of pascal like language..
@@platin2148 Good question.
The languages are brand specific. you can't copy paste a Kuka program to use it on a Fanuc robot. I have no idea if they just are interpreters with a base behind like pascal or C or something else.
I use RAPID for the robot (that's ABB's proprietary machine language) and C++ & openFrameworks for the sensing system and interaction design.
@@MadelineGannon That’s sad that this area still uses all of this closed source stuff 🙁
On the other hand i can understand that there is a DSL for it.
@@smoker_joe Did nobody make the effort to build a backend that could compile to all of these? It seems like so..
“Reconfigured to put the human at the center of that experience and interaction” oh now we’re enslaving robots 🤣
"Robot" comes from Czech and means "hard work, chore". A slavery work.
robot basically means slavery, forced labor.
Liberals are gonna make Detroit become human a real thing but instead they took over
When will the robo-oppression stop?
@@lemon9.9 today's liberals are toxic.
this is insane, I've been working with robots for quite a while now and the interface really isn't all that user friendly. yes, you can build a website to make it better but imagine telling a robot by pointing at place a and then walking around the robot and pointing at place b!
this is great
Worked quite a bit with 6700 series and as someone else said, it's interesting to see a cool project that takes it a bit out of the industrial sphere, as well as be useful also for the industry down the line.
Oh, it's you...
How have you been?
I've been reeeaaally busy being dead
You know ... after you murdered me.
I just tested....and then you showed up. You dangerous, mute lunatic.
@@DeputatKaktus "So, you know what? You win. Just. Go."
I can see what you are doing. It's what a lot of modern software UI development is doing right now, instead of trying to teach the user how to use your software, we try to use the natural tendencies of users to define what our UI does. How a gesture should imply a specific action, how a specific button is expected to be in a particular location as not to strain thumbs and fingers when using a phone, how an app reacts to a gesture to give the user feedback. I can imagine it would be frustrating to give a hand signal to a robot arm, to have it stay still, do you know it got your command? But having simple feedback as the wrist of the arm nodding, or "looking" at your hand gives natural feedback. It's given me an interesting perspective as a software developer, and it's neat to see the relationship in a more industrial application.
I think a good way to make it appear far more 'alive' would be to soften the jerkiness of the movements, you can practically see it's refresh rate while it's tracking a slow moving person, adding some sway or dampening on the movement accuracy and speed would make it much more lifelike
Lol
If you change / add a different housing to the arm It could become an interactive GLaDOS. (also add some speakers and a Text to speech system type thing, I know it is possible. just don't know how to do it) I really enjoyed watching the creativity.
Also don't forget to hide a cake somewhere
Crazy how precise machines are.
Great story, and a fantastic storytelling voice Madeline! I enjoyed this video a lot. I'm now going to check what the status of this project is since this is an older video.
"This next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? They're the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. That's you in five seconds. Good luck."
Hes so adoraaableee how he "Looks" around and gets close to people. Im in love with it! Machines are filled alot with some kindness if you know how to use them. and or set them up or engineer.
the one where it cuts shaped holes in the wall is super cool and useful. when robot arms and this type of software becomes more modular, extensible, and open source this could be a standard tool used by carpentersand such to speed thru preloaded fixtures and stuff that would normally take 2 or 3 times as long per hole to scribe out or stencil and then hand saw out.
this is so exciting! amazing work! thanks for sharing!
This is interesting. Glad to see some VS action 👀
Definitely potential for an irl death run. Imagine it weilding a chain saw.
Just kidding although I'm not saying I wouldn't watch that
Fascinating.
You should smooth out the update rate. Updates are highly visible the way the robot moves
We need robots as much as our ancestors needed robots.
so... a lot?
It needs Googaly eyes to make it more approachable. That's been my experience with industrial robots.
Mark my words, this will have 1m+ views in the next year. Awesome presentation, loved it!
marked
I am a master student in robotics at UTwente. Thank you very much for sharing this inspiring work! I have a small 3d printed robot and I would like to teach it curiosity :)
All robots can be curious ♥️🤖♥️
very cool video
Amazing
It's good that they're teaching the robot how to track and follow running humans, sure that won't come back to bite us.
Very good
This is literally how robot uprising happens in movies and animes
Move Quarter of a tonne at 7m/s..that's a dangerous toy! Nice
Thank you for sharing awesome stuff like this.
Beyond cool....
Awesome machine
But why you made it to move so fast, it is unsafe?
TLDR: we're trying to recreate Tony Stark's garage robot
💯 Just missing the fire extinguisher 🔥🧯🔥
WHO is building all of them?
So you work for Aperture Laboratories at the Enrichment Center?
I like the idea of teaching robots by means other than writing code. But I can also imagine that it's a complex problem. Teaching motions is one thing, but hoomans use other sensory clues to judge what they are doing- does this iteration match the look, sound, feel of previous iterations? How do I know when to stop and ask for help? Can I accept verbal corrections?
I also learn how to make this type of robo.....need your guidance
Excelente, ^^
Where can I find the open-source code?
why would you want it?
@@Benjicmm because it's open source?
I remember this vid with robot failure where servomotor took a full power hit into metal plate.
And my imagination gone wrong when I heard it can take 7mps and saw those folks being so close to it. Especially in that moment: 0:40
Looks to be in manual mode as she's holding the DMS.
that was cool
there making glados what company did they say they was apperature scince
Why didn't you used Boston's Spot dog? It would be more fun! Add self-learning algorithms only to it's arm and walking directions. But walking manoeuvres are preprogrammed.
I'd LOVE to play with Spot :)
Looks a bit scaryyy and mesmerising at the same time.
well all we need now is to give her a nice Disk operating system.
uh oh-
How can I connect with you professionally? I would love to chat about the project I am working on:)
The only thing I can think of while watching this video is dressing the robot up in GLaDOS cosplay.
Put it upside down and change the outside a little and BAM
you made Caroline.
I don't want to disparage the effort, but given the ease of using an object localization library, plus an industrial robot that you can just tell to go to XYZ ... what is new here?
It looks terrifying. Like imagine entering a dark warehouse and suddenly *waooao* this think starts observing you...
Interesting, but you're glossing over the most complex and yet absolutely critical aspect of using such robots: safety. A robot this size can kill you in a split second. I see you make sure to never let people within its reach, and this tells me that you're leaving out all the work regarding operating safety.
The way I see it, the programming techniques that you use, and the additional hardware like the cameras, absolutely do not lend themselves to implementing intrinsic safety. So in the end, this is just a fun thought experiment, but if it ever turns into something real and useful, it'll have to be implemented completely differently. Or as we say in the engineering profession : it's not impossible, it's just going to be very expensive.
Did anyone else felt scared but yet awfully intrigued by the robot? I swear the way it moves creeps me out but the way it does makes my brain go “how does that happened?”
[grimly coughs] have one majority here of people heard of the 'FAS Glitch'?....
@@CaptainPilipinas No but if you'd like to enlighten us please do; but after you've read this I've probably searched for it by then.
or the 'FARO plague' as what most over there commonly refer....
@@Maple_Tachibana ah, yes....[sweatdropped]....searching it.
WHY isn't there a Glados head on that thing??!!!
I need that robot for my home security guard.
That arm is strong enough to tear those kids in two 😐 It's like a gorilla exhibit at the zoo
Sure but it can't reach them.
which is the type of curiosity. Curiosity like oh look a butterfly or like what happens if I smash this head into the ground? Jokes apart really cool robot. 😍
I was thinking curiosity as in "Ooh, who's this human?"
They should've put something like a dog's nose on its end effector.

I wonder if you can apply machine learning to perhap tips. As in, a robot that is essentially the/an attraction and it has a reward driven learning system. Where the only thung is getting people to tip, maybe you let it know how much it got in tips at the end of the day or per tip but just a thing that changes its own behaviour for essentially money. Still an idea.
beep beep *Are you still there* ❓
Cool, just make sure robot don't eat apple from forbidden tree.
Those cameras look like the innards of an XBOX kinect.
That's exactly what they are - 10 of them
@@MadelineGannon Wow, 10, that must have involved some complex coding!
That moves unsettlingly fast. I would have thought the video was sped up if it weren't for the people moving at normal speed.
It's an ABB IRB 6700 with custom software. It's designed to do a lot of very fast work.
Accidental SLAP 👋 of that hand would cause a Knockout of the age 😂
Glados!!
Only thing that bothers me about this is that in some scenes the robot seems to have jerky motions where it moves a little bit but is just stopping and starting over and over. This could have been improved if it gradually sped up from one position and slowed down until it got to the other. It would have made it far more life like. The second issue was with its "face" not actually pointing at peoples face, it always seemed to be looking to the side or above someone, which also sort of loses the life like effect. Also, whether it was used or not, i think either sticking a camera on the end of the arm or some kind of face would have helped as well and that wouldnt have taken much effort. I do really like this, but i think a bit more work could have taken it from "good" to "omg is thing thing an AI, is it alive?"
All I can say is" I love you all"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!
If you lay on the floor within it's space, would it know not to crush you?
Mimus can only see things outside her enclosure 🤖
I kinda want to pet it
Wait, what do you mean curious? Since when do industrial robots need puppy emotions?
Horizon doesn't seem far away anymore O.o
reminds me alot of glados from portal lol
early version of glados!
4:07 robotic neck demonstration
I wish I could work in such a place without pay
😑😑😑🙏🙏❤
Someone should make this into GLaDOS, that would be cool.
Ну, всё! Готовьтесь!
this is how real life horizon zero dawn will start
so basically, if you pass those lines, will it apply Asimov's first law of robotics?
Why use such a strong robot for “Empathy”. It’s scary strong
It helps make the point ♥️🤖♥️
I love robotics. I love AI. I look forward to cybernetic enhancement.
LET'S DO THIS!
Glados is coming
It's realy funny: robots becomes more "human" during the humans become more monkey in front of it.
A robot is a species?.....when?....and further more, why?
just a little forward thinking
i bet you people are gonna be treating robots as living things a couple years from now, cuz they practically will be
Mmm interesting it can be used for security guard
She? Pffffffffffffffft! Just call her GLADOS...
First off humans will allways be smarter than robots
In future you can see robot zoo
THE CAKE IS A LIE
I WILL NOT BE FOOLED
This is disturbingly cute in some weird sense...
Until they have machine guns and ai like predator drone and controlled by bill gates and George Soros
@@dekonfrost7 yhea, sweden can come up with pretty advanced technologies once in a while. Just look up the "Ecqulibre" granade, we did the electronics and the yenkies made sure to lunching it safely.
Dum E...good boy.
Butterfingers is closer to creation
give it a raptor skin and put it in a theme park!
Do you think it'll learn how to open doors?
@@MadelineGannon That would be nice! haha. But serious. I knew that robots are used for welding and assembly tasks for years and years, and that they move on pre programmed paths. But I did not know that the developments has reached a point that they can move on their "own" using input from the sensor and that he determines himself how he moves. He moves so smooth and organic. I would even call it lifelike. I can see this kind of robot technology also being used in themeparks and movies instead of the animatronics they use now. Their movements are never 100% smooth and organic. that destroys the illusion a bit for me . I also like the fact that he is tracking and interacting with multiple people at once. It's a real work of art! A lot of kudo's for the development team!
