Quoted: Well maybe they should cause it's cgi There are subtle things with cgi that stand out. If you're a gamer you can tell. Shadows and reflections aren't perfect. Just look at the safety glass fluttering cause of the rendering. It doesn't take much to take model's and textures and make stuff looks 95%real now a days with out much effort Quoted: Quoted: I'm a tech skeptic by default and I watched it several times before posting it here to convince myself it wasn't CGI. If it is CGI, Boston Dynamics can quit building robots and take the entirety of Hollywood's business - the subtle floor imprints, compound reflections, and clear glass divider rumblings are simply earth shattering if that is actually CGI. It just looks uncanny because we identify those as humanoid and they definitely seem too solid to be moving that quickly and precisely. Also it's shot on a very high def camera probably at 30 or 60 fps and that always gives things an uncanny feel. Look at the engineers walking in the background, their walking movements look a little glidey and weird just because of the framerate and resolution. There's no motion blurring at all. This isn't even a hardware tech advance over previous demos, it's more of a software demonstration than a hardware demonstration.

Go watch their channel. They have been showing these advancing for years. |

Quoted: They seem to have a bit of a fluid leak with one of the humanoid ones. Attached File |

Quoted: Honestly the biggest problem with these right now is power density. I think those huge battery packs give them around 1 hour of juice at moderate exertion. The real revolution will be if there is a huge improvement in battery tech that makes these viable for the timeframe of a LEO/military mission. Que up the reason for Tesla to be funded.... The advancement of batteries, funded by the masses. Secondly another interesting thought, is if they were to take data from FPS games and translate that into a tactics and strategies processor. Your could pretty much make Bots have a automated instant response to a threat with perfect accuracy. That’s just speculating though, why would governments want such a thing.... pffffff |

CGI bots are very convincing (arguably a greater technological achievement, imo) |

Quoted: That terminator is out there, it cant be bargained with, it cant be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop... EVER, until you are dead!  I was wondering when somebody would get it. Does this mean phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range are not far behind? |
Looks what Disney is doing. If you can make these 5 feet tall, why not 20? Disney's high-flying acrobatic robots will floor you |

Quoted: Makes me want to buy a .50 You don't need to be worried about one or a half dozen big ones like this. You need to worry about 1,000 tiny flying ones that are sacrificial smart hand grenades. Shotgun would probably work better... for the first half dozen or so. When 100 of the first mosquito's friends show up all at once, there's a problem. |

Until the mini drones flying cover waste you before you pull the trigger... |

I was just thinking M82A1 when watching that. |

Quoted: Great , now were going to see Robo-white girl marriages on commercials showing the quality of Tide. "dielectic grease washes right out of our clothes!" "Stay away from our women! You got metal fever, boy!" --Bender--Bender  Futurama-I Dated a Robot |

You have 20 seconds to comply |
This   WATCH: Pole-dancing robot takes centre stage but more likely this...  Failed To Load Title

Quoted: Yep. Can you imagine the ones they have that they aren't showing us?? Quoted: Quoted: Its going to be dancing on our corpses soon Yep. Can you imagine the ones they have that they aren't showing us?? I just said the same in a dupe thread- there’s no way they’re showing us their latest hardware I guess we now know who the first earthling on Mars will be |

Quoted: They aren't gonna build 'em for us... and sentient robots will have a different idea about what's kinky anyway.  https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/495488/https___s3-ap-northeast-1_amazonaws_com_-1753812.JPG Quoted: Quoted: Where are the sexbots  They aren't gonna build 'em for us... and sentient robots will have a different idea about what's kinky anyway. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/495488/https___s3-ap-northeast-1_amazonaws_com_-1753812.JPG That is NOT the kind of threesome I had in mind. Sexbots. Sheesh |

All right, this is bugging me now. What's the name of the movie or tv show where the police have back ups in the form of robots in a hovering drone. When it looks like the situation calls for it, the cops radio in one or more robots and the robots drop from the drone a hundred feet up. It's not Elysium, Robocop, Chappie, or Minority Report and it came out in the last, oh, I want to say, five years? |

Quoted: The one sent to destroy Arfcom will have a Willem Defoe face on it though. Quoted: Quoted: Soon! VERY, soon! https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/271079/terminator_endoskeleton_1020_0_jpg-1753873.JPG The one sent to destroy Arfcom will have a Willem Defoe face on it though.
