Real Time with Bill Maher: The Duggars
newtboyIf only the Japanese would get on with making cheap robot servants, the problem of restricting population will be solved. What ever happened to Asimo? It was climbing stairs well over a decade ago, why isn't it changing grandpa's depends yet?
@newtboy
Firstly, people who worry about other people's sexual attraction to human adult non-relatives usually have sexual problems of their own. Therefore, they disqualify themselves to be taken seriously at that debate. The more you argue against the LGBT community, the more likely you are to be sexually harmful.
Secondly, dude, I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I live in a country that faces a future where a majority of the population is senior citizens because we made it to expensive and impractical to even have children. I wish my government could do more to encourage women to have children and support them raising them without sacrificing their careers. Right now, my best hope for a nation that isn't dominated by senior citizens is immigration.
I'm less worried about global overpopulation in the west because we have (or at least should have) access to birth control.
The only people in the west that are willing to have more than a handful of kids are the religious nutjobs and the mentally questionable/ill. Here's something most women know and agree on:
Vaginas aren't clowncars.

They should bring in Asimo and Aibo. They'll take care of it.

Boston Dynamics builds a Terminator prototype
mxxcon>> ^bmacs27:
Not nearly as much as Honda has spent on Asimo. I know both groups. I've spoken personally with the director of the Asimo project. The lab I'm in has been a customer of Boston Dynamics since all they made were avatars for virtual environments. Boston Dynamics isn't that large a company, and they don't get that much defense money. They just have smart dudes.

why don't they just buy technology from toyota's asimo and make it more agile?
it seems like they are reinventing stuff that japanese companies already developed.
This is way beyond Asimo.
and it took them how long and how much money?
throughout all the years that they've worked on bigdog, alphadog, (betadog?), littledog, this thing, I wouldn't be surprised if they got ~$50mil

First, that's Honda. Second, probably because BD wants their robots to perform certain functions that ASIMO cannot. ASIMO is 25+ years old now and still can't reliably climb a staircase that it's been specifically programmed to climb. The BD robots, on the other hand, can figure out how to climb terrain on the fly and do it consistently.
it's 25 years old but I'm if you are talking about department of defense money, they can whip up something much more agile..if they don't already have something like that in their closed labs
ya, it can climb terrain on the fly with 25' tall rigging and cables all around it.

Robots and drones examine Fukushima reactor buildings
bamdrew"The IRobot discovered a group of sentient Asimo robots who were playing cards in the wreckage, and instructed them to get back to work fixing the building."
Biped robot who balances dynamically using a human-like walk
Psychologic>> ^oohlalasassoon:
Undeniably cool from a mechanical/robotic engineering standpoint, as is Honda's Asimo, and I applaud the abilities of those able to pull this off, but I can't see past the obvious: this is an unnecessarily-complex and unreliable mode of motion and these humans be ego-trippin about they legs.
It could be useful for carrying heavy loads up stairs and through narrow corridors where wheels or quadrupeds would be less practical. It will be interesting to see what it can do once they get it working on uneven terrain.
On the other hand, if we get brain-computer interfaces working a little better then maybe a future version of these could replace wheelchairs.
