Apollos NEW HUMANOID Robot DEMO STUNS Everyone! (Apptronik Upgrade!)

[@MrStu]

It doesn't move from the stand and there's no spontaneous interaction-how is this different from a Disney animatronic?

What a con. lol

Hi

Thank you.

Paralyzed from the waist down apparently

[@phen-themoogle7651]

That's just for precautions that it doesn't fall during the presentation, some humanoids still fall on occasions, even if they are 99% of the time doing okay standing up, it would kinda ruin the presentation if on the rare occasion it does slip/fall/malfunction. So many external things can get in the way of walking.

[@jeffsteyn7174]

Yeah because walking is the most valuable part of a robot. The autonomous part is what is valuable. You can put it on wheels and it can still move around. Infact if you look at Amazon fulfillment centres the packet doesn't need to move. The products come to it.

Pre-rehearsed and arguably not warranting a 20 min video but I still can’t help but watch

How do you know though HOW it was pre- rehearsed. That would tell us a lot in its self. Was it the actor and the robot talking in nature language like 2 kids rehearsing a play? I’d like to see that part..

20 years until a robot labor will be cheaper than a human labor? Maybe 10 years?

[@nihilisticprophet6985]

This is just a Disneyland ride

[@Frankiigii]

I think he's right about the "Cambrian explosion." If you look into robotics there is so much more than the humanoid form factor, although imo that is the most impressive one. They also have this incredible robotic dolphin that I honestly couldn't tell was a robot. I would love more realistic robotic animals like tigers, or monkeys, or exotic birds. I would also love mini humanoids, perhaps that could fly. If you've seen Chobits they do a great version of showing a hypothetical reality in which humans and robots live together in all sorts of ways. As someone who has been following this topic for over 20 years I'm so excited! So many people have worked so hard for this, his relay race metaphor is perfect.

[@ojsh_]

Honestly @TheAIGRID, who did this demo STUN? An animitronic moving it's arms whilst playing mp3 recordings from movies? Come on now..

[@FrescaLife]

It says, "Scanning... You have an abrasion on your forearm." while his forearms are covered. I'll be more impressed once all this stuff isn't heavily scripted.

[@T1tusCr0w]

That’s what the film said. The big hero robot. - my kid loves those movies I’m becoming I’m expert lol

[@monkeybird69]

When the robot can't stand on its own... you take us back like ten years. The fact they think this should have been presented publicly shows they aren't paying attention to the market.

I think the cost to make these bots should be under $7,000 USD. What they will charge is another question all together. There will be a lot of money made on these if they can cook, clean and help around the house for sure.

[@pandereodium]

The aesthetics of this bot is good, though I see the "end game" design will start with organic-like looks and transition to fantasy/godly-entity concept.

[@Neseku]

I don’t think that was true acting. It didn’t actually remember the script. I believe the bot simply recorded the audio from the films and played them at the demo. I think so because if you listen closely, the background music can be heard along with the voices played.

[@BlakeLaoshi]

Lol, the highlighted subtitles of the video combined with your voiceover have a fun visual effect 🌀🌀😂

@pkfryer I'm not going to totally disagree with you, i know we need to keep our minds open with the likes of a world of abundance when agi/robots comes along. But i also have the same level of thinking when it comes to greed, and people who are too power hungry. when it does get announced that we have agi fully.... my gut feeling is, the economy will change to something very new, something we have never seen. It will be a strange world.

I should be content just upvoting the "meh" comments, but I do think it should be said: This demo is not helpful. This demo does not show any advancement. If anything, it seems like a step backward. This demo could have been orchestrated 50 years ago, and indeed, is no improvement of the Disney "imagineer" attractions we've been seeing in amusement parks. Want to impress us? Show us actual interaction, show us your robot walking (Boston Dynamics has been doing this for years already), show it interacting with truly randomly placed objects. What they demoed wasn't even a good magic trick, and judging by the non-response of the audience at SWSX, they were just as disappointed as I am. This demo stunned nobody.

[@hypebeast5686]

It stunned me, as how dumb this demo was 🤣

[@robertopreatoni]

This is just a non walking robot reciting a script, not an autonomous intelligent android like Figure one. I immediately got disappointed at the first second of the demo, when just taking the blanket away was enough to make it wobbling. Sorry, I am unimpressed.
