5 of the Most Important Inventions in Robotics

A lot of robots are developed to physically replicate our actions and behavior, like a bipedal, balanced walk, a large range of motion, and the ability to perceive and interact with the environment. But, maybe not to your surprise, that's a lot more difficult to replicate than some viral robot videos might make you think.

@Dan Ryan Ideas are worthless, finished products is what matters. We could've had viable 3d printing technology before Windows PC became available, and all we got in exchange for this technological delay for the entire planet is that three decades later people make room temperature IQ comments in defense of this BS.

[@michaelbuckers]

@@filonin2 You talk about things like financial side of business strategy out of your ass and you call someone else simple minded. The lack of self awareness would be hilarious if it wasn't cringe-inducing. Also, you don't get to say "kids these days" to someone who's older than you. While we're on the subject of patents, shall we talk how they - beyond stifling fair competition and improvement of technology, which is the core reason for patents existence - just serve to shaft individual inventors in favor of large corporations? Because patent litigation cost upwards of literally million of dollars in court fees alone and patent lawyers will charge even more than that, and you don't get this money reimbursed until after you win, IF you win - and all of this would be coming out of your wallet, and if you don't happen to have that kind of money then you lose the litigation by default.

[@86samsky]

Funny because i thought the whole idea is of you put in the work take the risks you get the rewards. Yes they might stifle progress in some ways but forces ingenuity elsewhere that the patent owner may never have considered.

It's really cool to think about how amazing/ complex human bodies are. Often we criticize ourselves for being "just humans" and while other beings have advantages, humans are incredibly interesting in their own areas. It seems so normal but when we try to recreate our inner working/ thought processes it brings to light how difficult it all actually is. Humbling and impressive

[@Pile_of_carbon]

8:30 There are literally hundreds if not thousands of clips of 3d-printers making stuff and you picked one of a failed print because of a badly calibrated Z-axis. It's like talking about how cool and useful rockets are while only showing the horrible accidents and crashes.

[@NajwaLaylah]

Maybe it was in the public domain.

[@thomasgauthier5691]

How is that bad z axis calibration? It's not going up or down at all. Did you mean a loose z axis (it looks higher than the rest of the first layer), bad bed leveling, or a bad first layer calibration? Anyway, I think they were going for a visual about how loosely packed the carbon chains are plus a 3d print and that video illustrated both points... But you're right that sure isn't showing off 3d printer's precision.

[@FrikInCasualMode]

Ah, yes - robots will take our jobs. Well, time for RL story: My boss, with a lot of fanfare bought brand new, automatic montage line for factory i work in. It was supposed to replace at least 6 guys doing the work by hand. Two (almost three) years later, this wonder didn't work properly for even one day. It provided plenty of work to a bunch of engineers, that come every couple of months to poke at its innards in the vain hope of finding the cause of constant malfunctions. It was sent as a whole to the producer for overhaul - which did nothing to help. It was a cause of a court case. Even when it semi, kinda works it needs constant supervision of a mechanic, because it stops every half hour for reasons unknown. Usually damaging the product that has the misfortune of currently being inside. So far, this impressive looking machine is a steady source of dark amusement for the factory crew. So, yeah - there is still a long way ahead of robots.

[@TheGuruNetOn]

Rear view mirror doesn't help predict the oncoming traffic. Deep learning for example.

[@alexiswelsh5821]

Did those 6 guys get their jobs back?

[@FrikInCasualMode]

@@alexiswelsh5821 They were never fired :) Like i said this damn piece of junk never worked properly - even on day one. Yes, our boss is a douche. No, he's not a moron. Besides, we do have laws protecting workers. Unless someone does something idiotic and gives a blatant reason to be fired, getting rid of an unwanted employee takes weeks.

[@thief9001]

I'm getting into the field of automation to design the programs and help install and set up equipment like that. I wonder what the problem with it was. If it was a dirty industry, I can imagine some of the sensors getting dirty and requiring maintence, or that whoever programmed it, didn't do on site installation correctly. Did you ever find out if it was the individual components that wern't working (The sensors, the acuators and the other hardware) or if it was the program and the control inside the brains of the machines that made it function incorrectly?

[@FrikInCasualMode]

@@thief9001 I think it has more to do with the input material. We work with raw wood, that is machined at earlier parts of the production process into certain shapes. And wood is wood - there are differences between batches... heck, between individual pieces. This montage line is supposed to have tolerance margins to compensate for this... but it doesn't do it properly. Which, frankly didn't surprise us - people who actually work with this raw material. It could work at trial, with small batches of carefully selected and precisely prepared wood pieces. It doesn't work with large scale production, when it's expected to churn out five or six thousands of finished product per 8-hour shift.

[@MattSieker]

8:43 That part is not long for this world. That's horrible adhesion.

[@NaiaElwyn]

I immediately started cringing had stopped paying attention to what was being said. Like, how do you even let a print get that far before realizing something is wrong?

[@Zestrayswede]

I thought that looked wrong. It's probably stock footage.

[@andreyrumming6842]

Actually, that's zero adhesion. The print head is printing while a couple mm off the bed. MEANING, the filament is practically just falling onto the bed. No adhesion is occuring, not really

[@NaiaElwyn]

@@Zestrayswede yeah, the fact that it's a mile from the surface probably means it was done on purpose to show off 3d printing, but to the average person they wouldn't be able to tell much of what was happening if it was setup correctly.

I remember, back in the ancient days... OK, it was the mid eighties when I was in college. I had a co-op job as a technical writer. My current assignment was to write the manual for a painting robot. Ordinary industrial robots are programmed by using controller to move the arm from one point to another. The programmer will have the computer m,emorize the points, and the arm will move straight from one point to the next. This results in efficient but jerky movement -- obviously not suitable for painting. To program the painting robots, the programmer grabs on to a load cell mounted where the paint sprayer or bell will eventually be mounted. The computer senses which way the programmer is tugging and follows, so the programmer is essentially dragging this huge robot arm around by the nose... errr... load cell. Once the movements are memorized, the programmer will adjust the speed, which controls the thickness of the paint being sprayed. This is done for several paths. Using a different path for each layer makes for a more uniform coating. If one path has spots that are a bit thick or a bit thin, they will be unlikely to be in the same areas as the previous path's thick and thin areas. Before doing the actual programming, an example of the car body to be painted is placed in the booth and the paths are marked on it with masking tape.

[@BertGrink]

With all those recent advances in robot technology, I think it's time we give some serious consideration to Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics... When he first conceived of the idea, he envisioned three laws: *1: A robot must never harm a Human.* *2: A robot must always obey an order given by a Human, unless it conflicts with the First Law.* *3: A robot must preserve its own existence, unless it conflicts with the First or Second Law.* Later, he expanded the number of Laws to four, with the most recently added Law being numbered the Zeroeth Law, which resulted in this set of Laws: *0: A robot must never harm Humanity.* *1: A robot must never harm a Human, unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth Law.* *2: A robot must always obey an order given by a Human* (See note below), *unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth or First Law.* *3: A robot must preserve its own existence, unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth, First or Second Law.* *Note:* At some point, Asimov also gave some thought to having rules about *_which_* human were issuing an order, with more weight given to orders from adults, as opposed to orders from a child or a juvenile, as well as some form of ability to distinguish a mentally sound person from an unstable one, with orders from the latter kind of human given less or even no importance. In the end, though, these considerations were never codified into his Laws, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't implement them along with the main Laws that I have quoted above. The main reason I think it is necessary to have these Laws, or their electronic equivalents, built into our robots, is in particular the robots from Boston Dynamics (which by the way is owned by Alphabet, Google's parent company). If that kind of technology should fall into the hands of the military, I shudder when I contemplate the possible consequences, should such laws not be implemented. brrrr 😟 Thank you for taking time to read my little "rant".

[@silly_freak]

I suggest you watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGuqWahiJyZaqM you pointed out the most basic problems with the laws already: Asimov had to amend them, first in the straightforward way of adding #0, then by refining definitions of human and ability to command. For more problems, watch the video and check out Robert Miles' channel. Also, Boston Dynamics does work for the military, that's literally the second paragraph on their Wikipedia page.
