Guys put the released date of the documentary, it sucks when you see that is old.😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@jlb8696]

One word nightmare

[@mohammedhanif2568]

Very nice

[@Psycandy]

yay! about time! can't wait for a robot to do my job for me, which is burning loads of fossil fuels to get to work, where we make robots. Make the robots burn the fossil fuels for us and we will be free to design the robots which will design the robots we're too lazy to build.

[@bakerkawesa]

It seems impossible until it is done.

[@duffy3267]

you know this whas in 2013 right? look up boston dynamics ;) and see what they do now a day's

[@zarahalora7567]

@@duffy3267 yeah its really cool to see!

[@cruisepaige]

Other than being shaped like humans, how are these different from the washing machine, remote anything, electronic door locks, etc.?

This is an old documentary…how could he be working on robots since 1994 and say he’s been working on it for 21 years. This documentary aired in the year 2015.

[@cruisepaige]

2015 is old? Ha ha ha!

[@PeteBogg]

@@cruisepaige It's ancient history when it comes to advances in robotics.

[@daveking-sandbox9263]

07:04 Robots with human operators controlling every move? That’s cheating!

[@deeliciousplum]

Equally as fascinating as this tech is worrisome. From what can be observed, those who are at the helm may not have our well-being nor autonomy in mind. Even a light glimpse at preditory business models, e.g., Facebook, Meta, Instagram, and TikTok, just to name a few, you and I can observe how wealth and power do not mean that there is a moral compass present. Putin's interactions with Xi also reflect that the value of a life is unravelling. Imagine capable robots and the tech which underlies them in the hands of predatory business model entrepreneurs as well as in the hands of harmful tyrants. I love tech, yet I am disheartened by the harmful propensities of our species.

[@cruisepaige]

Equally fascinating* the “as” is redundant.

[@LukeVanIn]

The film does not actually show the robots doing anything. Just shots of nerds watching monitors and blowing hard.

[@v.prestorpnrcrtlcrt2096]

C R A P !!!

[@user-ep1bt9sb2t]

Put to the robot more feet where is the problem 😂

[@2Sage-7Poets]

right now robots are like little kids learning how to walk and talk.. in the future they could move and talk like us.. and the rise of humanoids will also grow in number.. because not only people with disabilities would love to have metal part to their bodies.. specially if they make them able to have super power abilities.. aside from the fact that it can't be tired or never feel pain and is interchangeable..

[@mikeclarke952]

this too outdated already.

[@zstar8397]

Yo just wanna say that GOD loved the world so much he sent his only begotten son Jesus to die a brutal death for us so that we can have eternal life and we can all accept this amazing gift this by simply believing in him (Jesus) asking for the forgiveness of your sins and forming a relationship with heavenly father.

[@user-ep1bt9sb2t]

Why they want robot looks like us to do humain task that they could do in different shape and scientists they should care about the result no about the human shape of the robot

[@andynicoll8566]

This vid is obviously way out of date! No mention of Boston Dynamics. Right now "robots" are so far advanced from where this vid is it's almost laughable.

[@mlk693]

In the vid competition banner says 2015 So a decade tech. Arethere up to date vids to sample what you mentioned‽

[@v.prestorpnrcrtlcrt2096]

Boring and repetitive.

[@luiscardozo0000]

this bullshit is not for youtube , this vid is more for discovery chanel after pimp my car😁
