>Americans welcome china robots
It's over. The US is behind china's tech now.

Stuff it in an anime girl suit and I'll buy and fuck it.

We had this thread yesterday.

>guy's literally controlling it with a playstation controller
>99% of the npcs in the crowd horking and thinking it's autonomous

>>106115386
And you will have it tomorrow too.
Chang will keep getting one penny a day for that thread, until the whole warehouse is cleared out of its stock.

Unless its CCP's handler realize how much of a screw-up Chang is, of course.
In which case, Chang's organs would be harvested.

>>106114735 (OP)
I hope they don't use anesthetics on you, shill.

99% of people think its awesome, not that its "autonomous"

A robot that can move/run has never been a thing in the world until the last year or so. And its certainly not in the radar of 99.999% of Americans mind, eye, memory, experience.

>>106115669
>99% of people think its awesome
And those people, are they in the room right now?

You can tell at a glance that that shit is clunky af, and cannot accomplish anything useful. Nobody is impressed by it.
That kind of motorization/proprioception is a fucking dead-end. Anyone pretending otherwise is either retarded or a scammer.

So like, what is the practical use of a humanoid robot compared to other kinds of robots? Doesn’t seem like it’ll do a better job at bringing me my groceries than those rolling storage boxes. This just seems like it’s just designed to impress children and go viral online with how “lifelike” its movements are.

>>106115343
That is the goal. Too bad roasties will shut it down.

>>106115830
You're right on the money. Although it does more than excite children and manchildren. It appeals to investors with room temperature IQ.

Good functional humanoid robot can pretty much replace any human laborer (but it has to be good and functional first). Box on wheels is superb to bring your groceries, but it can't wash your dishes or mop your floor. So instead of a floor cleaner robot, grocery fetching robot and a dishwasher you just get one human shaped one.

>>106115830
Our infrastructure is already designed for bipeds with arms. By making them humanoid it's less likely they'll encounter problems a human wouldn't have. If the environment or obstacle can be navigated by a human it can be navigated by a robot.
For example your pic can't walk up stairs. open doors, or use tools a humanoid robot can. Humanoid robots are also tall and narrow so it's easier to pack them into tight spaces like elevators and subways.

>>106115830
For any specific task, a different robot is probably better than a humanoid. If you want a generalist robot that can do vastly diverse tasks in human environments, a humanoid might be ideal. It's also a great research platform for the same reason.

>>106115830
mass production to drive down cost

1 robot form factor that can do hundreds of different jobs that are mass produced at millions a year
vs
1000 different robot form factors that are produced once per year and cost millions each

>>106116026
but all-in-one machines suck at everything and can't do tasks in parallel
a robo-pantry for storing a bunch of box-shaped robots feels like a better solution to me

>>106114735 (OP)
This will get banned in the US soon enough, just like everything Chinese. Can't let them take over an expensive industry, unless it's cheap plastic shit.

"National security" or whatever. Just like drones.

>>106116207
Chinese people, and their companies, have a constitutional duty to spy on anything and everyone, for the benefit of the PRC.
It's a fact, clearly stated in their own public document. Not a secret or a conspiracy.

>>106116275
why do unitedstatians feel the need to project their own glowniggatry like this?

>>106115974
these weren't that agile

>>106115830
the whole world is built around human anatomy.

>>106117101
Such a low iq take lmfao. exactly the type of mental midget these marketing revenue humanoid robots are aimed at impressing.

>>106117063
Can your chinabot move goalposts as good as you can?

>>106117145
depends on the kind of goalposts its weight i guess and the robots load carrying capacity
some goalposts are just huge lumps of steel so i doubt it can move that at least solo

i like how every year you get this supposedly badass robot tech and then nothing comes out of it ever

A tale as old as time. See 3D TVs/Movies, VR headsets, Electric Cars, etc.

>>106114735 (OP)
Of course. Does this robot serve the interests of Israel? No? Then why should the US have interest in developing such a thing?

>>106117950
Those all at least successfully came to market. This shit is just R&D for the sake of fund padding.
$5900 for one of those things my ass.

>>106116045
>Our infrastructure is already designed for bipeds with arms
no, its designed for cars. any robot without the ability to travel at least 25 mph is DOA

>>106119930
You can stuff your tesla bot inside your tesla car thoughbeit

Robots should be maids with huge boobs, not ugly anthropomorphic iPhones.
