Technology right now truly is amazing.

I had no idea that robots have come so far. To me, what the video below shows is both incredible and scary at the same time...

Yesterday's science-fiction becomes today's science-fact.

Wow, quite sensational.

I thought the guy at the 2-minute mark was just asking to get 'terminated' shocked

That was my reaction, too.

My son was just telling me that the movement is determined by statistical inference. That's pretty amazing when you think that statistics and probabilities can create something that behaves almost like a human.

Amazing stuff, though I didn't have time to watch it all the way through, it is a you say "Robots have come a long way"

Now if I was a robot I would be kinda annoyed if someone kept pushing the box out of my way, and want to fight back.

I wouldn't be surprised if they could do that too, give it another 200-300 years or maybe even sooner and someone will be able to have a robot partner in real life or memories will be able to be embedded into a robot and people will in fact live forever. A backup of a persons memory will be able to be done and once the mortal body is done, the robot will take over with your last memory backup.

You can tell I am a Star Trek fan and love that Sci-Fi stuff.

That was very impressive! I had no idea robot technology had come this far. I hope they all like humans!

Aside from the terminator robots.... there's HAL 2000 and Hector from Saturn 3 that kinda left an impression on me as to why we need to be careful with what we allow technology to handle for us.

+++ HERE +++ is a recent 12 minute video that highlights 9 robots. There is a lot of robotic research going on and advancements coming fast. Believe it or not, Disney is a leader in the field with a robot that can perform 60 feet (18 meter) high trapeze flips before landing in a net.

Those companies are spending too much development time on making the robots look and act like humans.
I don't really care what a robot looks like - if it can make perfect dry martini and go shopping for me I will be happy. smile
