Robotics Expert Breaks Down Robot Scenes From Film & TV | WIRED

Chris Atkeson, a professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, watches a variety of scenes featuring robots from movies and television and breaks down how accurate their depictions really are. Would the Terminator actually have dialogue options? Are the "three laws" from I, Robot a real thing? Is it actually hard to erase a robot's memory (a la Westworld)?

About Czernobyl: that was a German robot that complied to the radiation levels given by the Soviet Authorities. But the radiation was way higher than that, so the circuits fried after minutes.

I tried to take a robotics class when I was 14. It was so complicated, I couldn't even grasp the basics

[@jankastbjerg4017]

@@IloveGorgeousGeorge robotics and electronics are not that complicated in generel, it's just freakishly huge subjects, so if you wanna study those things, you need to find a starting point, and dont take on more than you can plausible study. what many do wrong (my self included, before i started in school as an electronics engineering), is they start at a to complicated level, for example, if you wanna know how robots move, start brushing up on your physics, after that you can learn about basic mechanics, or maybe basic programming in python or C, and then just keep building upon what you have learned. but always start at the fundamentals, since many times if you miss one thing in the fundemental understanding, it can snowball exponential, which would mean that although you understood the first few concept, the rest can quickly become mumbo jumbo :) and the most important thing... patience! as i said, these subjects are huge, and the people working in theese fields have been studying for years uon years, and usually have a good understanding all around , while being experts in 1 or 2 specific fields, like emc, fpga programming, mechanical movements and so on, which is the reason for it being teams working on a project and not just 1 or 2 dudes in the proffesional enviroments ^^

artificial and biological are contradictory terms though?

[@QuigleTheGnome]

Joanna Craddy context

[@danielollen3499]

Joanna Craddy artificial means made by humans (not occurring naturally). Biological just means related to biology/living organisms. In this case, it’s probably organic chemistry. So an artificial biological life form is a life form made up of organic compounds designed by human hands (thus, not naturally occurring in nature). “What about test tube babies?” You might ask, “they aren’t naturally occurring, so technically they’re artificial?” Well, they’re considered artificially inseminated bc they still need to be birthed by a mother and go through the human life cycle. The only artificial process there is when the eggs are manually activated. Hope this helps.
