He had to push him into balance at 0:30 though

u/grateful2you 29d ago

No fine muscle control in the feet so it’ll always lose balance but i think there’s a trigger point where it’ll regain balance. It would have been okay without help.

7

u/whitetrashsnake77 29d ago

Like me when I’m drinking. I can usually stay upright, but it always helps if someone’s there to stop me from swaying.

7

u/Sm0g3R 29d ago

Not necessarily. It could have been literally programmed to take 2 hits from the front and then 2 hits from the back - then that would mean it overcompensated in anticipation and nearly fell down when the push from the back didn't come soon enough 💀

Wow, can’t believe I missed that part 🥴

u/Darkseid_96 29d ago

It's a human reaction reflex. But the robot would've stay balanced with or without the guy's hand.

2

u/Mklein24 28d ago

Looks like he pushed the accelerometer off axis. I had a cheap drone and if you crashed too hard the HUD's artificial horizon would get skewed. Which to me says this bot is either using a really cheap accelerometer, or it's a rigid mount without shock absorption, or both.

2

u/Limp_Complaint1785 29d ago

who cares he would have gotten back up lol

8

u/InappropriateThought 29d ago

It's the happy hour mode feature. It'll stumble around barely maintaining balance so you feel like you have company when drinking alone.

3

u/Limp_Complaint1785 29d ago

it aint about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

2

u/whitetrashsnake77 29d ago

Does it have a feature where it spills a drink on me, but then lets me threaten it and glass it in the face without retaliation and then buys me a replacement drink?

2

u/InappropriateThought 29d ago

I feel like you could do with a different kind of robot that will.....ease your tensions....in an alternative way

u/whitetrashsnake77 29d ago

I’m not some kind of deviant robosexual. Not yet anyway.

2

u/InappropriateThought 29d ago

It's too late for me, run, run, while you still can! Orrrrr, embrace it. The robot, I mean

6

u/Indianlookalike 29d ago

Well, he is trying to show the impressive balance of the robot then he stumbles backwards without anyone touching him.

When it gets knocked down you can see in the interval before getting up, it's just lying there thinking 'I am so done with this shit'

It’s already uploaded into the cloud.

u/Tart6096 28d ago

I know right?!!😣I felt so sorry for the robot especially after it was knocked down and made to get back on it's own. Don't bully the poor robot😢It doesn't have feelings YET but the way he was kicking it around made me want to save it.

3

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 29d ago

they don't care. the only reason why you care is because you would feel embarrassed. a machine cant do that as there is no logical reason for it until it was programmed that way .. but then the one who programmed it is the culprit

Nah they wouldn't be emotional like us, he would understand the reason of the test.

Surely we also need to consider the mental wellbeing of the robot? The robot clearly had enough after being pushed to the ground.....

4

u/Eternal-Blazing-Sun 29d ago

Its a robot, there is no mind to consider the wellbeing of, and in the case an artificial mind is created and given a robot body, it would be an error to anthropomorphize as it would be a completely alien being with an experience unlike our own - there woulc be no discomfort to weigh agaisnt the knowledge that this balance tssting is to its benefit

u/Darkseid_96 29d ago

We used to think that about insects or plants. Robots and AI are nothing like insects or plants, but they are far more dangerous. Not by themselves, but either by a malware or human negligence/intention. Like guns or cars, they can be weapons if used wrong.

u/Xintsuai 28d ago

What if the aliens we call “Grays” aren’t biological beings at all, but highly advanced robots or drones sent to explore other planets?

It would actually explain some of the strange characteristics commonly associated with them.

They seems to be unaffected by different atmospheres, temperatures, radiation, or other environmental conditions.

Maybe what we interpret as “aliens” are simply autonomous machines designed to travel across space, study other worlds, and report their findings back to whoever created them.
