I feel like I'm watching someone's home videos of their child. Amazing.

I, for one, welcome the rein of our new robot over-lords

one day robots will play robot american football and it will be amazing and I will watch.

[@Killcam555]

Robots have become advanced enough to learn on their own. Soon, we may be able to play football with robots! Imagine... The Yankees V.S. The Bolters (Robots) Who wins? Well, at this point, robots aren't dexterious enough to catch a ball very well, especially a fast one, but this proves that we are getting very close. Also, I wonder if since robots are self learning, they actually have LIFE. By that, I mean that they actually control their actions, and have some sort of emotion, so to speak.

being a humanoid roboticist is becoming more and more like a pet trainer

[@kiwiMe233]

[@gbowne1]

He feels bad not catching the ball. Poor bottie. Try again

[@lichtakira]

like two years old baby. :)

[@Finn1million]

I find it scary that they talk to the robot as if it is a child learning, fair enough that you would automatically feel the need to. But it has no emotion, it doesn't need compliments...

no, this terminator is "special".

or its own head.. he knocks his self out!!

[@actuallypoliticallyeducated]

Martin, how is Monty doing? I watched this video and have gotten attached to the fella. Any chance we can get an update on our robot buddy?

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Better a late reply than never! It's been a long time since Anybots has been an up and working company. My friend Trevor Blackwell has many of Monty's components... but I don't think it's still assembled. Meanwhile, you can see what Monty has evolved into every time you see a Boston Dynamics robot walking!

this reminds me of datas daughter lawl

[@CrashGames2108]

Two year olds are smarter than that.

[@yaxxee]

For some reason I can't stand robotics, but I understand that it's useful research. AI etc.

Human Propaganda. :D
