Nah man, even if robots could replace you, people are still gonna watch sports and stuff made by humans :D. It's not like we don't have the Olympics anymore just because cars were invented.. People still draw with oil and coal and stained glass even though Photoshop is a thing, and so on... People still play the piano even though FL Studio or Ableton have been able to do accurate instruments for more than 10 years now... People just like watching other people doing things xD... The only way i can see this replacing humans is if someone makes a robots that REALLY looks like an actual human and then put it to compete against humans for prizes and money, but i think we're a little ways off from that... Not within our lifetimes probably...

These robots are going to be absolutely amazing for Search and Rescue missions

[@lostcolonyforge5792]

I feel like a drone would be best for the search part

[@ChromePlatedLions]

@@lostcolonyforge5792I'm sure they already do that, but for buildings that are too crumbled or dangerous to go into, the robot could literally move away rubble and pick someone up. Just an idea

[@Kuzna22]

SEARCH AND DESTROY!!

[@OmarZaki]

That's a great point! You are so right!

[@andrew_m_vogt]

The fact that it's able to a handstand is wild. I've been practicing handstands for the past year its tricky

[@patrickgardner2204]

6:45 funny about that, 9 years ago Boston Dynamics made a cheetah robot that could run at 28 mph, not very fast, but compared to a human...that is extremely fast, idk if they did anything with it or if the design was scrapped, bc it hasent been on their channel since.

Dang :O That's pretty crazy...

Very few people ever really stop and think about what's involved in just taking a single step forward. Our brains are so good at learning a process, and then automating every piece of that and putting it into background mode that we don't even think about just how complex it is. All of the nerves in your feet and legs telling your brain about the shape of the terrain you are standing on, tilt angles of your feet. Couple that will real time video feed from your eyes that get combined into stereoscopic 3d, then frame analyzed and compared to track moving objects, hazards, obstructions. Image recognition to be able to tell what is and isn't an issue. 3d gyroscopic data from your inner ear giving balance and rotational information. Information from your other senses providing a full picture of the environment. Sounds that can be used as warnings of things you can't see or don't understand yet. ALL of this coordinated in real time every single fraction of a second. Your foot nerves report a sudden angle change in the ground, your eyes confirm and show the exact shape of this as your head tilts down to check. Your brain maps this change in 3d and alters your stride already in progress so your foot comes down where the ground now is, controlling all of the muscle groups down your leg, but also those in your back, arms, sides, etc to maintain balance, or regain it. Your planned route altered slightly instantly to adjust for this shift. Large rock ahead, go around, run up and over? And this robot is doing all of this. Someone had to sit down and write code that could handle all of this decision making. They didn't program each step into it. They taught it how to take steps. Taught it how to figure out which way it is falling and how to correct.

[@uditdwivedi3541]

well whats more difficult a handstand or back-flip depends upon the design. though i would say the handstand because:(note i am not a robotics engineer but an enthusiast) 1.it's hand are not built for holding the body up in a balance(that's why the weird wrist movement). 2.the robot is heavy and moving something that heavy not instantly is difficult(that's why it does the backflip quickly). 3.it's legs are offset to front from its center of mass meaning robot naturally wants to roll backward more. They may have had harder time with time with the flip on landing but this is what i think

[@OmarZaki]

Hmm how interesting! Thank you so much for that great insight!

[@matetisza6018]

I don't think robots will replace anyone in terms of sport. I mean, in parkour for example, there are a lot of substitute for it: watching movies or videos (like yours), sport events and shows, playing videogames and so on. These are supposed to help the individual enjoy it without participating, but also inspiring. These robots are less of a substitution and more of an addition. If anything, it's like a videogame with parkour, you guys reacted to. They are both programmed in a way to emulate real movements is all we can see, but there is a shipload of work behind it to make it efficient and look good, including analyzing actual athlete's movements (you even said you recognised the movements of a fellow athlete in a game). If anything it's more job opportunity, but that's my opinion. Change my mind of you wish. Love your videos :)

[@OmarZaki]

You bring great insight to this topic/conversation! I think where there may be potential danger in the future is when reality/game Shows are created where they pit different Robots against each other on Obstacles courses and whatnot, similar to Ninja Warrior. That will definitely be very entertaining to watch and make take interest away from the Humans themself who do it

[@matetisza6018]

@@OmarZaki Thanks, kind of you to say that :) Well I can only speak from the consumer, my skills are of a beginner's at best, but I still enjoy to watching your stuff, your collegues', friends', collaborators' and a lot of others' because of the creativity, experinences, skills, the individuals, freedom, knowledge and so on. Thesecould not be replaced. It's more of a new vessel than a pilot, if you know what I mean. Like in the new planet of the apes or lord of the rings, the CGI is magical, but it would not have half the impact without Andrew Serkis' acting. The gameshow, you brought up, indeed sounds rather exciting, but sounds more like the fusion of ultimate tag and mythbusters, which is cool, but I'd still watch both, cause all has it's own exciting parts. Sorry for the long ass comment and thanks for answering it, feels awesome :)

I get that their movements are uncanny valley af to some people, but I think they look awesome. seeing all this gymnastics and floorwork that they can do is fascinating to me. I know a lot of people are nervous about them and dont feel the same way I do, but thats ok. to each their own.

Oh it’s completely fascinating! It’s going to change the world as we know it 🙌🏻

Its the "Uncanny valley", its human like, but its bit off, im for 1 is looking forward to my own Kara bot like in Detroit Becomes human.

[@OmarZaki]

EXACTLY! That's exactly what it is hah

[@spambot9206]

I might be in the minority but the previous versions were inside the uncanny valley for me and this version is the first one that manages to go out of it

[@OmarZaki]

@@spambot9206 Well that's great feedback to hear! Everybody is definitely going to reacting to these differently

[@robo-suport_czrobofactory3116]

imagine what robots they can make even with one improved technology like for example solid state batteries, way lighter as well as much higher capacity, it would then take less energy to even move for the robot because of the reduced weight...

[@OmarZaki]

The future is getting crazier by the day 👀

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

The backflips probably look off to you because you’re used to seeing humans do them, and the robot has a different center of gravity which changes the point where they spin around.

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

Turns out that this comment was entirely unnecessary.

[@OmarZaki]

@@LOVEMUFFIN_official Haha 🤣🤣🤣 You and I think very alike!

@@OmarZaki Thanks for understanding! I’m a mechanical engineer who specializes in rotating shaftlines, so spinning objects are always fascinating to me.

[@OmarZaki]

@@LOVEMUFFIN_official You're so welcome! I appreciate the insight :)

[@earthsteward70]

it's not JUST the center of gravity, a robot is just going to KNOW the exact force and angle it needs to exert just by looking. so it's going to preserve that calculator esque look

Yeah it's so crazy! Who knows where this technology will continue to grow and lead to!

[@haruruben]

The great limiter for robots is battery life. They will be able to chase you for like 8 minutes and then go recharge

[@OmarZaki]

Haha that's a very good point!

[@arfansadab]

Boston Dynamics explained that it's hard for robots to do stuff that are easy for us and it's easy for robots to do things that are hard for us, for example walking a person can beat robot in a walking challange.

[@themathmoth7393]

Bipedal locomotion is not suitable for fast mobility. For that, look at quadrupedal robots, such as spot from Boston Dynamics or the aptly named cheetah from MIT.

[@OmarZaki]

Okay! I’ll definitely look into that! Thank you for the great information 🙂

"These robots will be able to (...) keep up with cheetahs because they're powered by an _engine_ rather than muscle and bones." They already did that _10 years ago._ Check out the Wildcat video: A four-legged robot powered by an actual engine that could easily chase you down.

Hazel, Hollywood has not made anything like this. Movie robots are all either CGI or careful camera angles and stitching together partial models.
