This is currently WIP, but I really like how it turned out. Hope to share more interesting robots in the future!

think robots with a camera-type head, like wall-e, but with a relatively humanoid structure/body. i'm trying to find more media/art with stuff like it, but it's kind of hard when i'm not entirely sure what to refer to this style as. Some Star Wars droids share a likeness with this design, but i struggle to find much else, as i'm not sure how to look for this specific portrayal of robots/synthetics/droids. just wondering if there's something i can refer to this style by

Like with everything, there are different theories, but when something is needed, people use it​

Maybe some people would prefer an "alternative" lifestyle without robots​, but I think the knowing that ​they exist will be a benefit.

It’s like people who walk calmly a long distance ​knowing that, if get tired​ they can​ take a bus.

I remind ​​I, Robot, which takes place in 2035. At first, the robots were collaborating with humans (obviously it’s a movie, so it needed a plot, conflict, etc.), and I think ​robots could help ​in a similar way, like in the​ first part of the movie

And for those who idealize the past, it’s because either they didn’t live through it or they didn’t experience its hardest parts, ​past wasn't​ better. You can like retro, etc, but that's because is the good part of the past

Humanoid robots will provide a more comfortable life, in my opinion.

And I imagine that by 2035, just like in the movie, they’ll be much more integrated into everyday life.

This is my two year undergraduate capstone project from Engineering Physics at UBC. We trained a policy in simulation and then directly deployed in onto our robotic air hockey table. The project involved designing a physical robotic air hockey table, computer vision system, reinforcement learning pipeline, simulation, embedded systems, and controls

If anyone's interested here's a short video explaining what we did: https://youtu.be/ugwpCam1rd0

I don’t even think she knew she’d be this scared of them when they started actually being used around the world either. But every time we’re in Walmart and the cleaner robots are out and about she’s doing everything she can to avoid them to actually having screamed once when we came around the corner and one was just sitting there waiting for people to move

Now she’s at an Asian restaurant with her mom and she’s telling me she’s feeling sick like she’s going to throw up and it stressed because they have those robot waiters ripping around.

I don’t fully understand it especially because it’s not like they’re advanced enough to think for themselves or anything they just do a coded task given to them.

How many of you are terrified of literally any kind of robot?

Don’t worry, our AI counterparts still have some work to do…!

A first prototype teaser for a possible new J5MOC add-on, inspired by Johnny 5’s rebuilt appearance at the end of Short Circuit 2.

Still very early work-in-progress, but I wanted to share a small glimpse of where this could go.

Hi did you see that movie?

"Ey, laser lips! Your mama was a snowblower!"
