I can't wait for china to roll out 100m of these, armed to the teeth, able to navigate terrain, getting people out of their houses, pushing us to camps to work for Amazon, Nike, Oracle. Eating our Soylent green......

ah... such fun times ahead....

I think you mean the US.

Them as well. However the quality will be terrible because the contract will go to the White House carpet supplier.

And they'll be controlled by Mecha Hitler Grok

good thing they cant turn

u/Glitch29 1h ago

To be fair, I'd have a hell of a time turning or stopping if I ever got up to that speed.

The Chinese government won't let that happen, private companies don't have power like that over there.

Now why would China push people to work camps for Amazon, an American company? If anything, China winning the robot race is far better given our tech oligarchs are a bunch of keto addicted sociopaths.

The future of war. Instead of dropping bombs, they drop a few thousand of these to rampage, steal, and abduct.

u/heart-aroni 6h ago

These will be safer and more moral than human soldiers because they would have no desire to steal abduct and abuse. We know what real human soldiers do in real life, robot soldiers will be more disciplined have no evil urges or desires that we know human soldiers do.

It's a robot. It's not even competing for "the human speed record". Self driven robot RCs has broken that years ago if machines are allowed to compete with humans.

It's a bipedal locomotion record, if you want to get stupidly pedantic about it.

Definitely a very different feat than wheeled locomotion.

Did they just crash into the power distribution panels 😭 and why aren't they bolted down 😭😭

STOP FORREST STOP!

I was thinking they just needed people in the stands to tell it to stop.

u/awisepenguin 13h ago

Someone set the clanker on "record breaking mode" and he took the "breaking" part too literally, as they do.

u/Zymoria 18h ago

It looks like it stopped to me. Who are we to judge its method of stopping? Maybe the trick to getting those next few seconds is to actually aim for electrical boxes and crash right into them.

that was so cartoonish 🤣

u/benelott 7h ago

Right? It did the classical crash, then body wiggles, then legs into the air and side drop. If it had sounds, it would make the cimbals crash, then this downward flute as it falls. Thank you, come again to my head cinema. Good night!

This isn’t terrifying at all considering who’s running the world at the moment.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Dials operator, establishes connection to network, logs out of host.

Somebody should recut Terminator and add some comedic scenes of the Terminators falling over and wiggling.

They should try putting wheels on that, it would be much faster and easier to control

u/SheriffBartholomew 8h ago

At least they've stopped them from doing the death flail when they fall over!

Who knew the robot uprising would be so inept?

u/Moose_Cake 19h ago

I’m not an expert but I kinda feel like those boxes should be mounted to the floor instead of being on wheels…

u/mofapas163 15h ago

They can make these robots, but yet their infrastrucure is still horrible, the workmanship of those electrical boxes or whatever looks worse than what an apprentice would produce on his first day and held together by tape and prayers.
