Realbotix: Advancing Realistic Humanoid Robots & Companionship-Based AI

[@jimj2683]

This reminds me of the first iphone in 2007. Imagine this in just 5 years.

[@sharpcircle6875]

Yeah bs... Remember Ameca? Looked pretty promising 3 years ago...what have they done since then 🤓?

[@jimj2683]

@@sharpcircle6875 Ameca doesn't have the money to do anything. Realbotix very recently got a lot of money to use for developing. Also, Realbotix already are shipping their robots to customers..

[@SynthSuite]

Exciting and crazy times! It'll be interesting to see these advance over the next few years, given the explosion in companies competing in the humanoid robot space.

También van a ser tóxicas y no van a poner Lunch?

[@HankCoffey]

Yes... nice work 👏👏👏👏

What kind of nagging me is there a chest animatronics. They're not really robots they are just an animatronic running a language modelThe movements are pre-recorded they have no bearing on the language model. It's not like if you were to lean in and hug it it would hug you back or if you get in close and ask it to do something that it can physically do it because all the movements are just like a regular animatronic where they're pre-recorded they're not done in reaction to a language model. Like if you said could you pick that up and pass it to me it wouldn't be able to because it has no control over the body and their pre-programmed movements

Couldn't they just put ai into them some how

[@jimj2683]

AI is advancing very fast now. All the AI from the larger companies like Tesla, Google, Figure, 1X, Openai will trickle down to this robot. I bet you will be able get a software update that improves stuff. The robot will essentially become better and better the more AI software updates it gets.

[@peterparker6584]

@@mrwilliamuk4169 The AI is like this. It connects to the head like a smart speaker. Essentially the robot head is a smart speaker inside. It works on the same technology as Teddy Ruxpin. There's literally videos on KZbin where people took a Teddy Ruxpin and connected it to a Amazon Alexa and chat GPT and other similar apps via a connection with direct sound. When you realize the head is just a smart receiver connecting to a language model it kind of ruins everything. You're essentially paying between five and 10 grand American for the same Tech that in the 1980s you could buy for a couple hundred bucks as a child's toy. The product is really expensive and doesn't live up. It's literally why you see people trying to make their own using 3D printers and they've done KZbin videos about it there was a knockoff from AliExpress that had the tablet built right into the head lol they were like 1500 or 1800 bucks and the company I think shut down problem with that unit was the tablet was in Chinese or Japanese which made things super miserable to try and put your own language model in and Factory that had ran a Jackie really old copy of GPT. You had to navigate everything in Chinese or Japanese was the big problem. They could honestly Market one of these heads for about two grand and still make Big Money it's a huge markup like saying Nike sneakers. Amica is another major offender they have an Amica head and bust that they charge like 30 grand for and how much it actually cost them to make the thing is Criminal compared to what they charge for one . They've been making these units the head for quite a few years under the real doll brand and basically real doll got absorbed by this company or vice versa one company bought out the otherVery simply it's a fancy animatronic head that cost a lot of money and the animatronic body I think is like a hundred grand. It's not like the thing can do a lot of the stuff you see the Tesla bought doing or similar and those things I can understand why they cost in the 100 Grand range. It's mostly a curiosity like Amica which are I think a couple hundred grand for the full body version and it's the same Tech basically I think Amica is running the language model locally is the only real difference

Jurassic park robots (animatronics as it mentioned here) were made back in 1993

[@alexharmanas4034]

Westworld theme song would have been great for this!

[@ritter9541]

Dream slowly comes true. I'm curious when they will be able to walk and move as smooth as humans.

[@cryora]

That will be very expensive. They would have to make realistic muscles, and the human musculoskeletal system is highly complex. And then there's the control circuitry involved with coordinating all of the muscles to balance.

[@ritter9541]

@cryora youtube.com/@clonerobotics?si=kpof5GTvr40-nV4x It's happening now.

[@lisac4375]

I know it is more advanced, but it kind of reminds me of those weird, moving robot characters they used to have at Chuck E Cheese. With those dead eyes, they freaked me out as a kid. I find these things a bit creepy as well.

[@millylegume9431]

shut up and take my money

[@karma2023]

Somehow reminds me 90s video game animations

[@NatureBoi0]

Could of made the skeleton a bit less scary. Probably gonna give an old man a heart attack when he goes to change it’s face and it starts talking because he forgot the off switch.

[@MrNote-lz7lh]

Meh. Remove a person face and they'd be scary too.

[@lavanda-n4x]

amazing, but probably cost alot. i wonder if these things will ever become affordable to buy

Finally. A dating site that works!!!

Detroit become human???

does it moan tho?
