- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Creating a walking robot is no easy task. But despite numerous efforts throughout the years, people are still trying to create robots that can truly walk around our environments like we do. Motherboard met with Agility Robotics, a small startup in Oregon that is one of many trying to crack the code of creating the perfect bipedal robot.

give me two and weld them together on top via a long set of bars, and then throw a chair on top and you've got a new ride
Gage The Navigator lmfaoooo great idea
now imagine it running at 25 miles an hour
at you!
Matt Stanislen Even with a 10 mile headstart you would get tired eventually. This thing fitted with solar batteries would run for a long long time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
now couple that with future rfid chips people will be forced to get.
Matt Stanislen *unzips pants*
Thats actually funny, cause we are the best presistance hunters, not fast but with endurance and with a superior cooling system... unfortunately batteries will last longer than our endurance.
With a weapon!
Put some pants on it
Sick fucks.
Puzzle Dust huh it's not human lol
Ha!
Chickens don't wear pants.
That would actually look really funny tho 😂
The future looks thicc, bois

This isn't Reddit lol
Josh Patterson what do you mean this isn't reddit? You admit your dumb?
_Nope by being a spammer?
why no one is talking about the power source of those recent super thin robots? What happened with huge batteries? Did they manage to somehow pack li-ion so tight that there's no need for wires or is it some experimental graphite batteries?
Current Lithium Ion chemistry is not non-linear.
Goodenough believes it has reached its chemical potential, at most a few percent unrealized.
Tesla's (from Dahn's research) 2170 cells are reported to be 15% more capacity and twice the recharge life than competitors. This is likely to be its pinnacle and sufficient for electric transportation up to super car performance (Roadster2, Semi truck).
Solid electrolyte batteries under development for many years will allow greater power densities and faster charging under greater temperature ranges, but atm not demonstrated able to be commercially made. Musk estimates that once power densities of greater than 400kWh/kg (twice LiIon) electric commercial aviation will be possible.
Wayne Russell,
Maybe he meant battery technology in general, more than certain type of battery chemistry? It's just that li-ion is currently the best one.
Nik,

Well, this is where the walkers in Warframe's Corpus come from ;-)
Really wish you a great luck guys, you are the real heroes who contribute to humanity future

I really like this one!
I️ could imagine being chased by a pack of those in the apocalypse.😩👌
with a dildo in the middle with glowing red googley eyes on it
as it plays " it feels good" barely loud enough to hear, because they know only you can hear it
you are the new steel
*the alarms have triggered a Bursa*
The robot that did the back flip seems like it was much better
scary af
Boston dynamics has more money.
This one is prob more affordable and smaller and can be part of other robotic systems
yea they work with a contract for the military lol
the entire video is like "ours is better", boston dynamics is much better and didn't brag at all
LOOK CLOSELY PEOPLE, this is why we need to keep higher education as a top priority. The future happens here. Deciding to increase taxes on graduate students by up to 400% (According to an MIT analysis) does not further higher education.

"excuse me, Im not just a walking pair of legs!"
These guys developing a real life metal gear
Don't you mean ed 209
Unintentional BIOMIMICRY! The world is so cool.
Great job!!! first time i saw it, there was nothing like it, with the legs inverted and fluid... just outstanding!!!!
What kind of sneakers is Atrias wearing, and shouldn't you be able to get an endorsement deal with New Balance? :) This is fantastic stuff. VERY impressive engineering. I think Cassie is the first robot I've seen walk naturally without marching in place all the time. Well done! P.S. I have subscribed of course. Keep up the good work! Excellent video quality.
Dude that is a moa/ bursa from warframe.................
0:30 that yearning of the two-legged robot for his friend is pure
beautiful robot design! its like a 1950's blender.
Any chance if this could be opensource so we can all build one and start a large community for this? We all can share ideas and improves on this new technology, a lot of useful applications can put into this, this would be great for the handicapped to walk again.
AurorA 360, that's true. But I don't think they will open source it tho !

Ya... I just want my robot fuck doll!!!
You mean like Drossel Charming from "Fireball" ?
i for one, welcome our robot overlords!
Palatine of facts Yeah look at our Congress and President how could they be worse
Palatine of facts me too.
who programs them?
Imagine in the future they're good enough, they could be set up in boxes on street corners for dispatch to release, to quickly get to a scene and give early help. Like, imagine one of these having a small fire extinguisher within it, or attached to it, albeit a larger version, and running to a fire and keeping certain spots contained, until firefighters arrived. Or one with non-lethal equipment for police, so no one is significantly harmed. Or heck, a paramedic version, where it could send images to an ambulance for them to get an early idea of what they need to do. Heck, they could slap on a screen with instructions on basic first aid, with an audible pre-recorded voice.
For domestic use, these are pretty decent, if they get developed enough, and have a reasonable price. Make it a price where they could still make profit, and of course, a limited time for how long they're active. I'd personally want it to be between 7-10 years, and out of mostly materials that could be recyled to make another one of them, so it's also cost-efficient.
It could even go to a disaster zone. Say there's an earthquake or a tornado. And these things are at least in a sort of container durable enough to survive, and are pre-equipped with a set of instructions on what to do if it happens. Say, the company or local emergency services could release them, and they could give light and rations, and a GPS for emergency services to find people. Or even help in search and rescue, where a team of firefighters and paramedics go one direction, and it goes another direction, to speed up the search for survivors.
These are very optimistic... But I do hope these make significant progress for at least some practical way for them to be used. And cost efficient where people would at least want it. Especially if they made more versions.
Hats off sir not only robots but it can also help disable people. A day of light for physically disable people to feel and enjoy the air.
It definitely triggers the uncanny valley effect. Like something from a Herbie Hancock video. Very cool though! I can't really figure out if two legged mobility is more efficient than wheeled or tracked mobility. So is there a point to a 2 legged robot apart from the learning and research aspect?
Yes, that is correct. I wasn't able (at the time) to watch the whole thing.
Well... Welcome to Hyperion, i guess? Just need to wait for Jack now...
I gotta say something that no one else is addressing, that first guy is damn beautiful.
Everyone is talking about the robot, but can we also appreciate how gorgeous the dirt bike riding engineer is? 😍
So they are repeating the work of Boston Dynamics, which is already fully capable of spontaneous recovery and movement? Sometimes I wish people could just share info so you don't spend years reinventing the wheel.
It’d be awesome to put a Robonaut’ top half on Cassie. Also, considering bipedal motion, walking is a form of falling, for humans and a daily subconscious balancing act, after learning this initial process, program mos upright robots, to prevent themselves from falling, as it stands now, the majority of such [upright] robots steps, look as if they’re walking sneakily.
3:39 "It's hard for me to remember how I got into robotics" he says while the camera is showing us exactly how.
Seeing this makes me question how humans were able to adapt to move with straight legs, while we have to design these robots with bent legs, basically reverse of what we do when walking. So interesting
The simple answer us we developed asses and feet with an insane range of motion
.. ..

I'm surprised they had the cameras only look in horizonal since it's not actually figuring its way through a maze yet, I would think it would should be looking down more to see what's in its actual path, going forward. You did not see that at all in the monitor, just what is in the distance...
What I subbed to Motherboard for
Finally - “it’s just a machine, we coded everything on it” - thank you for not saying it’s AI, or deep learning blah blah...
Deep learning, convolutional networks, adversarial networks, generalize the capability, so that if you change variables, the output will always be the goal.
Baby steps forward. Looking forward to the day when the technology, reliability and cost is within my comfort zone.
Boston Dynamics : "you can walk? now do a backflip"
Yall have been slacking with getting these robot videos to me
Sure these guys will tell you they're making them for humanitarian purposes, but what you really gotta ask yourself is whether your job includes any movement from A to B, because once robots are not bolted in place and can move through a production area like a human, or better, your job will be replaced the very day this technology becomes cheaper than you. Which is pretty damn fast. Maybe you're delivering mail, maybe you're driving a forklift, maybe you're a trucker or maybe you're a bricklayer, ALL those type of jobs can and will be replaced within the next two decades. Then we've got AI developing faster than computer power did, and soon any job that specifically requires a human, like a doctor or dentist or psychologist, can and will be replaced once society gives the okay. Which again is pretty damn fast.
I've recently visited a small supermarket with no cashiers. Customers shop, scan and pay their own groceries. Once people are okay with permanent camera surveillance, this will become reality for every supermarket and other types of shops. That's millions of jobs lost with already available technology..
if no one has a Job then no one will buy the shit factories make, most likely scenario is that humans do work more suited to humans, but if not they'll have to bring in a universal income ,personally I welcome the future ,just sad I've got a bit too old to see it all .
The problem is not the robots, it's society. If we don't need to do boring and repetitive jobs because a machine can do it like us or even better than us, then why not? Cause we need MONEY. The money is the problem, not the technology advancement.
But don't you think if we advance that much then you wouldn't need a job at that point!?
Why would I need a job?
I think one of the possibilities is what we're going towards a future where people do not have to work if they don't want to, and spend their time on things like art, music or simply raising a family. Others will chose a job that they like, not for an income, but for social contacts, feeling useful, etc.
The problem is the transition period. We will go through decades where the amount of jobs will be declining rapidly and there's not a lot of wiggle room to come up with new types of jobs. We have already shifted a large part of our labor force to service providing, 'non-productive' jobs, so there's not a lot that we can still add to that sector.
I fear that we're facing some really bad times before things shift to a new type of society. Capitalism as we knew it, is in the last phases of its life. It's now getting ugly and mean and doesn't really care about people as long as the money keeps pouring in. Which is why, after grabbing all the resources on Earth, they're now turning to other means to increase their profit. Like getting rid of that nasty expensive human labor force....
This technology should be used to replace wheelchairs
@Will Pack but they're better to climb things; stairs, etc. and going through rough terrains.
for the torso part, maybe have 2 slightly weighed wheels spinning vertically in opposite directions using mainly perceptual motion, but uses a little bit of electricity every now and then so it doesnt stop, maybe that will make it easier idk
I don't understand why the feet aren't flexible in pivot like our ankles do. this would allow for rocky floors and adjustments without tilting the body.. most likely easier said than done I guess.
Continuous stepping to correct balance and not moving wastes energy, they really need to work on balance via simulated ankles and feet with pressure sensors.
Making a robot walk is good, making it walk on any surface is impressive. As a human, what holds us in place, our legs yes, but it's the feet, we can control the pivo of the body with the feet. Try balancing on one leg, and you will discover that what keeps you in balance is the movement of your foot. No robot use this except the Honda robot.
Buddy on that KTM was pretty good at sending it on those doubles! Time to make a robot Evil Knievel!
Design challenges to maintain balance while on one foot. One cheat would be to use gyroscopes but the best way is internal bias as in the ear and fine motor control.
Woop-di-doo, fantastic. Honda did all this 20 years ago.
Takes 5 minutes for a horse to learn to run vs. 12 months for a human vs. DAO robot brain and legs --AWESOME!!!!
Question from an old engineer to the advanced engineers here: Why are the kinetics of bipedal robot knee's inverted relative to bipedal animals? By 'inverted' I mean that the knee joint is located behind the body's center of gravity instead of inline or ahead of it. A human's thigh initiates leg motion by swinging/lifting the knee/thigh, then swinging the calf forward. But the robot initiates swinging/lifting the calf and then swinging/dropping the knee/thigh forward.
Good for small people this can help them alot.
"If they're equally capable, just send in the robot."
It's quotes like that, that will spur on the eradication of humans by our automaton overlords.
It's a moa.
Liam Russell finally a moa as a pet
t o n t t u coming soon to a fortuna near you
This is the kind of documentaries we like :)
My mans' be reinventing the wheel
The robots that use cameras or IR lasers to gather data around them, do the creators isolate the cameras / IR laser sensors from the shocks of the frame so that they imitate human eyes? Sort of like focus tracking included with the camera / IR laser senors having freedom of 360 rotation and a 3D movement of roughly 2 inches to mitigate shock and shakiness. Sorry if the comment seems inarticulate.
8:43 sparked an interesting thought. All the futuristic movies with featureless rooms of flat white paneling, and open spaces perhaps makes sense for a society comprised largely of robots.
What's easier to navigate for a robot - a multi colored room of cluttered shelves or a open, featureless space?
3:41 Looks like someone has evil intentions
Very impressive video !
I don't know why but the one with shoes on is hilarious.
Hahaha the picture at 3:40😁😁😁🤣dr.caos
You want ED-209s? That's how you get ED-209s.
we all love ED 209
Essa hastes nos membros do robot o deixa vulnerável. Mas o trabalho é bom.
There's only one thing i think about when i see this. Animatronic Velociraptor for the Velociraptor encounter at Universal Studios
In the beginning these robots will be very expensive and in testing phases etc. there will likely be people who die doing certain tasks because the financial implications of sending the robots in will be to large, even though the robot could have helped.
I just hope I'll live long enough to see robots walking around.
Lol
I don't think.
Good and really awesome. I want to build a two-legged walking Robot. I really want to learn how.
I see the aspect of human-like robots that can be creepy with their stunted movement and poor mimicking of human actions, but I think a lot of the discomfort that people feel on the topic comes from the production of videos like this, i.e. the eerie background music, the slow motion shots. It would be interesting to see if the response of people to human-like robotics shift if the tone of the videos shifted to a more inspirational and celebratory kind.
Amazing.
It's a war - it's dangerous - you have a capable robot, do you send in the human or the robot? You send in the robot .. Future
Did they have to make it a peach skin color.
If your skin is the same color as that robot, you may want to see a dermatologist.
It's funny how the majority of people still think they'll have a useful place in the future.
Why not!!?
hey we need to pay some people to kick the new robots while the scientists stay behind the splasproof panelling
Ambulas, the pinnacle of the War Smiths art!
You have created that machine and it's capable of walking like humans, it's clear that it ain't easy to create such a thing. NOW THE QUESTION IS WHO CREATED US AND MEAD US CAPABLE OF EVERYTHING?!
Great job robotics is life I love it you should go or work for Boston Dynamics
I really liked it. To me it seems as if it is a running robot because of the cool legs.
9:00 everybody dance now 😂
slowly but surely, we are getting moa's irl
They are Literally Walking IN!
@02:50 If Fukushima has told us one thing then it's even Robots not being able to enter a high radiation environment like the ones after a nuclear reactor meltdown because of the radiation "particles" destroying the nanoscale circuits inside the chips as they pass through them.
Also pretty sure if you want to have a robot that works in tandem with us and the environment catering to us then going with a bird type leg design is the least favorable choice you could go for. Good luck getting this bugger properly seated in a car for a sortie. I'm also quite certain this design is having a blast descending a narrow stairway ( ED-209 sends his condolences =D )
Humans: look we made this cool robot that Walks
Corpus: hey where's the moa?
Reverse engineering the inner ear.
But will it have to be completely reprogrammed if it is attached to an upper body?
Everything electronic can be hacked. I hope they have built in several back doors in the software just in case.
Birds can't do stairs. Because they can fly. So perhaps the top half will be a drone of some kind.
If they can make an electronic inner ear, this information could help some people with balance problems.
The other use for it could be in balancing large construction cranes, and tall structures. And in balancing structures during seismic events. Imagine this attached to ladders.
My feeling is the best use for these right now is to create a more lifelike wax museum.
Everything else is too dangerous until we have learned how to do Peace On Earth.
My favorite use for this would be to help caregivers of the disabled and elderly with lifting and cleaning.
Love
I can only imagine Robocop putting down this creepy bipod
Wouldn't four legged robots be much more practical? You have the uncanny valley in front of you with bipedal robots.
How can you dislike this video
they are finally here..
Good job
Progress is being made slowly. I think the word *man* is derived from words that have to do with being capable of manipulating with hands. Start working on the robot hands.
I like the idea of robots actually walking like we do, as opposed to having boring rolling trashcans.
8:31 The camera has a ton of tearing and low framerate. That's also a lot of noise and holes in the depth image. Did they try to put a lidar or kinect style infrared projector?
Amazing!!!
It's not like humans walking cuz the knees are backwards on it
Love it.
This is the first step to making those Gekko things from MGS4, lol.
This is some I Robot shit. I can already see it having a FedEx livery on it taking packages to doors
