Radhika's Robots

[@origamigek]

Those weird looking robot's in the room, are they aggressive? Will they fight over a limited supply of cushions?

[@linguaphilly]

They have been known to fight large groups of their own kind, yes.

[@ZorroVulpes]

Somehow I imagine you really liked the part where you crawled around with a pillow on your back like a snail.

1:43 *vi.exe stopped working*

[@5up3rp3rs0n]

vi is a shell program, not a windows executable.

[@cmb9173]

Logo cmd.exe stopped working then.

[@MajoroTom]

wouldn't happen on Linux (ironic vim joke here)

[@saelbennoa6226]

Great :) Imagine if an event was organized where people were given simple instructions and told to do such tasks

[@DarkarDengeno]

Very cool! Swarm intelligence is one of those cases where you can talk about 'emergent behavior' appropriately. I wonder what insights were gained by mimicking these local rules with human actors.

[@noamtashma2859]

did you walk randomly, or did you have a program to follow?

[@cmb9173]

I think Vi just derped around, but that's ok, they can have some eggs with lighning bolts and birds afterwards.

[@rummingbum]

I found this to be so hilarious! There's something about the jerky imitation of the movement of those robots... Regardless, it's an interesting topic too, coming from a computer science background.

[@CSmyth-]

Undeniable proof why ViHart is literally the best.

[@1stSilence]

Interesting. Let's decentralize this world with robots like nature does with tiny machines since ages.

[@bethgrinnell1164]

I knew you were smart, but REALLY?! WOW!

[@UrbanPanic]

I think the talk and the robots are Dr. Nagpal's work, while Vi's contribution was crawling around on the ground and putting pillows on her back... err, I mean, demonstrating aspects of the behavior of individual robots in a swarm.

[@129das]

your job is the best. You get to be robots.

[@SheikhEddy]

I love your channels.

[@dirtybirdsf]

Super cool taste of that talk. Off to find moar. :)

[@alittleorchid1289]

:o so kewlio

[@non-pe8xn]

ViBots

[@harpodjangorose9696]

On sale in Japan in three months, but there's a waiting list.

[@Kim-xt8uv]

Yay new vid :D

[@ellaskultinas3817]

WOAH 😲

[@ctso74]

Self-organising systems always seem to remind me of ants. Though, I suppose an argument could be made for bees, as well.

[@harpodjangorose9696]

...and beurocratic systems.

[@madamelicorne581]

These systems are inspired by insects :)

[@InquisitiveBadger816]

You've just created theatre

The fry is real

[@TreesPlease42]

Audio's pretty quiet for me. Not really a problem but hey.

[@hylianmontage451]

Both

[@KrisDey-BestGPaccount]

R u ok?

[@TheLifeOfRyanB]

Teaching robots to pillow fight?

[@yieldsfalsehood8863]

kinda sad how the hype died out around this kind of research

[@Kraflyn]

:D

[@weyloran2007]

[@alexandriaspeaks618]

First

[@L3monsta]

Yay, something non social justice.

[@marksmod]

robots, such as these in universities are a terrible waste of time and money. I still dont unferstand why the fuck a simulation wouldnt have done the same for a fraction of the cost.
