Asimo just got owned!

[jahrain]

Or should I say... "served"?
This time not by steps, but by an imitation.

Holy crap, those robots move so naturally.

[mR_r0b0to]

i've seen this before, amazing really :D

[Teh Ganon]

Scared me a bit but haha

[SnaFuBAR]

asimo got owned bad.

[legionaire45]

Asimo just had its crotch kicked in.

Cool stuff.

[Archon23]

Man those move so fluidly. I WANT ONE!

[Zeph]

Not really. Asimo is made for completely different types of things. These robots are just programmed to dance according to a pre-animated sequence.

I'll be impressed when robots can do tasks on their own without being told how first. Like Zeph said, these were just told to follow a dance sequence that the creators probably took months to make look good and make it so the robots wouldn't fall over.

It's called the QRIO or "Quest for cuRIOsity".

[jahrain]

That "Hell Yes" video looks like something japanese that is made to try and appeal to "western culture".

[Bad Waffle]

have you ever heard of beck, jahrain? seriously.

[Dr Nick]

I've heard of two, the singer(Who I don't really care for), and the anime(which is :awesome:!)!

[Nick]

Actually, ASIMO's climbing of stairs is more technically impressive than that video. Sony does win at painting a great illusion, like they did at E3 '05, but that's about it.

The robots in the video are simply playing back a set of instructions that were meticulously prepared, balanced, and tested. ASIMO's climbing of the stairs was done using its own logic - it determined where the stairs were and adjusted its motors appropriately to balance itself while climbing the stairs. The one that locked up and fell down the stairs had a servo break and that was at only one of many public demonstrations.

From the information available, the QRIO is pretty inferior to the ASIMO. Beyond environment recognition, ASIMO has sound, motion, posture, and gesture recognition. It can recover from being pushed off balance. Its running speed is over seven times faster than the QRIO's.

Hmph, I guess I fail to see how the ASIMO got owned or "served". Puzzling.

[jahrain]

At the dancing nick... Hence the usage of the word "served". That totaly owned asimo's dance moves which up until this video was the most impressive automated choreographic robotic movement performance that I have seen. No one said anything about it being more technically advanced.

[Digikid]

Lets see them do the Can-Can. :D

Well put Nick.

[bitterbanana]

It looks like Nick and Jahrain are having another dance-off!

D:
lmao.

[Cortexian]

Holy shit, they made them smaller! Last time I saw them there were like five feet tall. Before that they were seven feet tall, but apparently they were intimidating so they made them shorter or "as tall" as the average human. These guys are like one foot five inches, maybe two feet. Thats amazing.

I'd rather have a big one though.

Who bets that Honda gets the first defense contract to make military biped robots?

[Warsaw]

CYLONS!

[Cortexian]

CYLONS!
Woot. :XD:
