Robot-shooter rebellion: Boston Dynamics video mocked online

A video from the company Bosstown Dynamics, which deals with various kinds of special effects, has appeared on the network. The video is a kind of parody of what is being created by Boston Dynamics, an engineering company specializing in robotics. One of the "products" created by Boston Dynamics is Atlas, a bipedal anthropomorphic robot. with him and others robots company representatives conduct various kinds of test experiments, figuring out how the machines will act in a given situation.

Bosstown Dynamics decided to demonstrate its own version of "working with a robot." A video published on the network managed to gain more than 1,7 million views in a little over a day.

The video, riddled with irony, demonstrates how an armed robot, when counteracting, fires at targets at a firing range. At the same time, the robot is beaten with a club, thrown with various objects, knocked down from metal legs.

Shooting videos in the spirit of the show rejoice when they manage to knock down a robot using a metal cylinder. Then it is shown that the robot does not shoot at the target when a person is blocking it with its body.

In an ironic video, it is demonstrated that even a bee swarm is used against the robot, during which the machine must fire on a mannequin, next to which a living person stands.

And the apogee of this show clip is that the two-legged robot is offered to shoot the four-legged robot. The two-legged robot is trying to "escape", but it is returned. Then the robot rebels against the orders of a person, grabs the "robot dog", opens fire towards people and, together with the "iron brother", the rebel escapes from the platform under the armpit.

From the comments to the video:

I like that many people believe that all this is real.

This is the most epic kidnapping Chappi I've ever seen. Terminator-2019

And I like that they only retouch the face of that guy who is already masked.

I refuse to believe that this is a common fake parody

Some have suggested giving the video a prize on behalf of the zoo defenders.

But reality is not much different.

It depends on where. Our paralytic "Fedor", even without the rudiments of AI, will not get enough of it.

[Fedorov]

Just high-quality advertising of the manufacturer, but well done and I don’t see any kind of analogy in the video.

[Lipchanin]

An interesting video. But typically American humor. Hit, push, kick ...

[Voyager]

This is not humor. Initially, in Boston Dynamics, with the help of kicks and punches, they demonstrated the robot's ability to re-get up after such manipulations, restore balance, bypass a new obstacle and continue to complete the task.

[Lipchanin]

But the video is presented as humorous

[Voyager]

Humor is served as a parody of the original, ridiculous behavior of the robot and the rebellion of the machine against the owner. Real developers take care of club hits if necessary

[Lipchanin]

Well, firstly, a parody is humor.
I’m not talking about testing robots, but about specific American humor, where a cake in the face is still considered their standard

[210ox]

And then the robot was offended ... And it jammed ..

A century of will not to see.

[Sofa Patriot]

I saw how the robot (and not the Fedor manipulator) independently carries out a given program to hit targets in spite of the opposition. The robot adjusts the shooting depending on the position of the body, jumps over obstacles, selects a priority target. The developers are confident in the firing algorithms and cover the target. It is very cool! And if the robot really knows how to run and jump, then this is a great achievement!

[My doctor]

It seems like it was not a robot, but a man in a suit with positional sensors. The robot, like the shadows, appeared after software processing when, in the coordinates, instead of a person, the computer set the robot model. If there is a model of a robot with movable joints in the database, then I think the program can be easily matched and replaced one frame by another with another frame.

Greetings, Sergey! Remember, looking at the video, Lem. One of the journeys of Iyon the Pacific, where people dressed in robots torment metal figures ...
Also reminiscent of Lem's novel "Invincible", Harrison's novel "Bill, the hero of the Galaxy on the planet of robotic slaves." Every day life is more fantastic !!! (I wrote to you about the library yesterday.)

Yes, the truth is there, not just one episode, but as many as 3! Eh, golden childhood! The short circuit looked. And even earlier --- "" Batteries are not included "". I would like to see, maybe on the weekend.

And now I remembered in shu the Soviet comedy "His name was Robert"
Well, the classics, "Adventures of Electronics"

[Reptiloid]

Quote: Lipchanin

Well, the classics, "Adventures of Electronics"

The electronics almost always goes through some channels, but my time is inconvenient.
And I also heard that in the book version there is "" Electronic "" (continuation). There the professor made a robot girl, even cooler than her brother. Serebryakov wrote before his death.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Reptiloid

And I also heard that in the book version there is "" Electronic "" (continuation).

I have not heard.
I noticed that if a movie (book) is successful, then an urgently shot (written) sequel is usually much worse

[Reptiloid]

Yeah. I remember the 2-part "Moscow --- Cassiopeia" "and the novels-films about Alisa Selezneva, although in the book version Bulychev is not so childish. Some novels, I would say, are not at all for children. Including about Alice, for example "" Alice and the Beast "".

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Reptiloid

Including about Alice, for example "" Alice and the Beast "".

Well yes. One word, conjuncture.
"The Three Musketeers" came to mind. The further the furiously worse
This is me to the fact that it turns out to be as old as the world and not only with us
And so of course, in fiction, you probably do not need to continue. Put it all in one book and change the subject.
But this is of course my subjective opinion.

[Reptiloid]

Oh, I'm afraid I disagree with you! With what pleasure I read Paul Anderson's series FUTURE STORY about Nick van Rijn, David Falkane and Dominic Flandry! And Garrison's series about Jimma di'Griza, Jason dean Alt and Bill, the hero of the Galaxy! And Doc Smith's Linsman Series! And Hamilton's cool novels about Captain Future! Everywhere --- a bunch of works, more than 5! Something like that.

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Reptiloid

Oh, I'm afraid I do not agree with you!

And rightly so. There are exceptions everywhere. That is why they are attractive.
I also read the good ones. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the authors and names

[Reptiloid]

And besides the mentioned ones, there are also Star Wars and Alan Foster's Human Series, the Space Ranger Isaac Asimov and LARRY NIVEN'S LIVED SPACE !!! But that is not all!

[Lipchanin]

Well Star Wars is a classic. The word "Kirdyk" alone became a kind of folk But after all, they were conceived as a series. Not like one movie, and then a sequel.
Take the same Garik Potterov. After all, it was immediately conceived with a sequel.
And here is one of not very many cases for me when I still haven't decided which is better, a book, or a movie.
We, too, in the fantasy style have a good thing "Three from the Forest" But what I did not like very much, one book will not come off, you read another and you understand that it was most likely written from a big hangover

But I didn’t read it. Because the books of relatives lasted for a very long time, and when he began to buy, other interests appeared. True, Robert Howard read that they first printed it, by the way there is a film, but somehow I don’t remember

A fly buzzed into the room, sat down on the table, paused a little, flew over to the windowsill.

The old man crept up to her, waved a newspaper rolled into a pipe.

Assassin!

The guardian bird rushed down and at the last moment saved the fly.

The old man writhed on the floor for another minute, then froze.

He was hit quite a bit, but for a weak, worn heart, that was enough.

But the victim is saved, this is the main thing. Save the victim, and let the attacker get what he deserves.

[Paul Siebert]

We will laugh until these iron guys take control of nuclear weapons. Skynet is not asleep!

[Avior]

The parody is much deeper than it sounds. For some reason, Boston Dynamics products demonstrate special abilities without strangers.
No, a robot does happen, and moves with outsiders, but it doesn’t have that freedom of movement, like in commercials.
And after this visual demonstration of the possibilities of creating effects, questions arise .....

[voyaka uh]

"For some reason, Boston Dynamics products demonstrate special abilities without outsiders" ////

With outsiders, too.
The products of this company were tested by marines on rough terrain.
Robot "mule" for carrying heavy loads. Without representatives of the manufacturer.
Mule maneuverability, stability and carrying capacity were satisfied.
Rejected for two reasons:
1) When he was with an electric motor, the battery ran out faster than it was in the requirements of the marines
2) When he was with ICE, the noise level was higher than in the requirements of the marines.

[Avior]

Robot - saw a mule. Stable.
But he, like their other robots, didn’t do any special tricks with outsiders.
However, maybe you have a link to the contrary.

[voyaka uh]

He was officially proposed to the Marine Corps. And he passed a test course. The operators there were marine officers.
The reasons why they did not take him, I stated: either noise, or a small radius of action.

[Avior]

I understand that he approached them, with the exception of the engine.
But the question is also in their requirements.
But here’s what their robots do in commercials, like jumping with a 180 degree turn in excitement, I didn’t see this.
Tostory with a turbid engine, to be honest. Nobody took quiet engines, did he try mufflers?
K-Thai moped with a similar engine power is very quiet.
If only this were the problem, the engine would be picked up.

[voyaka uh]

The Marines need silence, not a moped with a silencer. When the group walks through the jungle, they even wrap with cloths all the rattling and clinking weapons.

[Avior]

There are situations when you do not need a lot of noiselessness.
Ammunition for the position during the battle to bring, for example.
But they didn’t take

[voyaka uh]

The time for millipede mechanisms will come. The mechanics are more complicated than wheeled ones. Materials needed are lightweight and durable. And people naturally followed a simple path: roads and wheels. But where there are no roads, in the mountains, on stairs, in houses, legs are more effective.

[Avior]

Will come. It’s just not yet clearly arrived

[voyaka uh]

Change often comes overnight. The Internet has spread like a bullet.
Smartphones, digital photography, global positioning, too.
And these are only visible, "everyday" changes.
And those firms that are "prepared" will win big.

[voyaka uh]

The company is serious. What they are doing is in store for a very near future.
So far, such animal and humanoid robots are in little demand. But that can change dramatically. And Boston Dynamics will turn into a giant corporation.

[yehat]

in fact, this company demonstrates one technology - the ability to balance and align.
To be honest, the robot mule is very clumsy; at the Robotics Institute this will be done in half a year if there are similar resources. But the latest developments give a foundation for a real breakthrough as a supporting movement, but no one has done it yet.

[voyaka uh]

"at the Institute of Robotics they will do this in half a year with similar resources" ////
----
I really, really doubt it. This team from Boston has far surpassed all competitors, including the Japanese - leaders in robotics.

[yehat]

I saw with my own eyes similar designs, just smaller ones.
and about competition - I would be very careful in the statements. The Japanese have recently said very little about robotics, but investment and propaganda are only gaining momentum.
Not so long ago I myself went there to work on this topic. But in general, the Japanese can greatly surprise.
They have problems creating revolutionary solutions, but they can simply bring awesome technology to mind.

[Avior]

To maintain equilibrium with increasing moment of inertia, the required acceleration by the drive increases.
And the relationship between acceleration and the moment of load on the drive is quadratic.
There must be a drive with a large overload torque, control algorithms and processors in order to calculate all this.
The task is very difficult.

[yehat]

mechanically, the problem is solved directly, but the Americans worked on the algorithms, made the movement more rational and smooth. However, they have not yet shown a single prototype that would demonstrate this quite well and flexibly.

[Avior]

Directly just the problem is solved only to certain small values ​​of the moment of inertia, then the square does not.
Yes, there is a solution in the algorithms.
But the problem there is that the control time increases with the growth of the order of the system of equations describing the motion with formally identical speed.
Here is how it looks, for example, for the binomial distribution of the roots of an equation.

[yehat]

Not everything is so sad. There are ways to optimize the calculations of systems of equations.
And ... while there is no particular increase in the degrees of freedom.
I would say that the description of the balancing system on the legs of one sensible ordinary graduate of the Russian matfaka is quite tough.
In addition, even on the tiger, methods were used to reduce the load when turning the tower when aiming
it’s just that when an American leaves the University of Massachusetts without knowing the history of the development of technology, he sculpts such stilts

[Avior]

To understand the finished description and compose a force-moment matrix on it - it may well be.
But to compile a description that takes into account all the important nuances, and rejects non-essential ones, is a rather difficult task, not every graduate can handle it.
To form a control law that is optimal from the point of view of speed and loads, and taking into account nonlinear constraints in the system, is a very difficult task.
And as for stilts, you need to understand that they do not have static stability, only dynamic stability, and due to this, maximum speed is achieved.
That is, their control law does not calculate the speed and distance of movement of the leg, relatively speaking, but only the duration of the impact or the effort of the leg, at a constant speed of movement.
The algorithm is simplified, but moving constants occur.

[Engineer]

I personally Honda Asimo from the heart.
By the way, Boston was bought by Softbank (Japan) in 2017. So this is also Japan in modern realities)

[voyaka uh]

I didn’t know ... The Japanese will need robots earlier than the rest, due to the rapid aging of the population.

[Engineer]

Perhaps, but in appearance they are active even at an "old" age. They ride, perform, advise, speak English. This is an unusual picture for us.

[voyaka uh]

Yes. Now it happens that people in 70 are physically stronger than 200 years ago in 40 years. Medicine, food, sports ... (If the cancer does not seize).
"The old man Derzhavin noticed us ..." Derzhavin was 40.

[Engineer]

The old woman-interest-year -42. Classics of the genre

[Avior]

A bit older. 73.

[voyaka uh]

But Pushkin wrote his poem when Derzhavin was 40.

[Sergey M. Karasev]

Derzhavin was born in 1743, which means he was 40 in 1783. Pushkin was born in 1799 ... Are you confusing anything?

[voyaka uh]

You directly puzzled me ...
Useful in the primary sources:

From the novel in verses “Eugene Onegin” (1823–1831) by A. S. Pushkin (1799–1837) (chap. 8, stanza 2). The poet recalls how, in an exam at Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum (January 8, 1815), he read in the presence of G. R. Derzhavin his poem "Memoirs in Tsarskoye Selo"

[Sergey M. Karasev]

It means that Derzhavin was 72 years old at the time of the exam at Pushkin, and not 40 at all. The old man is quite modern today.

[voyaka uh]

You're right!
I got it wrong.
But at the same time I’ve read an interesting biography of this creative and energetic person.

[Avior]

Old Derzhavin noticed us, and when he went down to the coffin, he blessed us.
Derzhavin died in 1816 in 73, was born in 1743, Pushkin with his muse noted in 1815, a year before his death. That is, he noted in his 72 years

[yehat]

outdated information. the Chinese will need faster
because of the program 1 family 1 child.

[voyaka uh]

The program was canceled 3 years ago. In addition, the Chinese are encouraged to marry foreigners. And they bring wives from all over the world (many from Africa!). Wives receive citizenship. And the Japanese have this tight

[yehat]

partially canceled. Now there’s just no penalty for 2 children and with a 3rd easier.
but seriously, everything has not changed and it will be another 15-20 years from now, not earlier.

[Avior]

To learn to keep balance is a very difficult task.
We need high-speed drives, processors and appropriate control algorithms.

[Engineer]

Plus, with an increase in size and power, the complexity of all components increases nonlinearly.

[Avior]

Nonlinearly. There is a limitation on the acceleration of the drives, and the greater the moment of inertia, the more acceleration is required.
Quadratic dependence

[Engineer]

I hope the guys from BD still succeed in terms of orders.

Defended against the human desire for destruction
Moreover, he performed it optimally, not allowing a single destruction.
