It's pretty impressive anyway. I wonder what another year of development will do?
I also prefer dancing robot to RoboCop and the firemen's robot dogs.
Can't wait to laugh at a tripping killbot before it rights itself and wastes me with a patent pending 12 hour painful death injectable
Great, so not only do we have to fight robots for access to water, they can now emote over our broken bodies
How long until Elon teaches his to teabag?
One of my favorite parts of vr fps like contractors is physically teabagging people. They are already being trained.
Anthropomorphic robots belong to a trashcan
To be fair, I don't remember MJ being anywhere near stairs, at least not with crazy dance steps.
I first didn't see when the guy comes to pick up the not. So they're really short... Hmm. Let's keep it that way.
I know i dont know shit about robotics but really the absolute first thing they need to do is have a robot that can stand up after falling down. It's how humans learn to walk and it's really a prequisite to walking in general. You just shouldn't walk if you can't get up, that's why babies crawl until they learn to stand up from the floor.
Almost assuredly it can, I think it broke or went into a failsafe or something.
How amazing is that recovery after the first stumble?
Somewhere between more amazing than falling over and less amazing than being able to climb stairs.
I imagine it wasn't trained for these lighting conditions and a monotone grey floor. But funny nonetheless.
I’m imagining most robots like this will be goose-stepping instead of dancing, so the inability to dance is probably not a big deal.
I think the dancing would probably be pretty bad for insurgency morale actually.
Apparently we stop the impending robot army by just putting up some steps at the border.
penal! ahahaha
Dances like my cousin after drinking tequila
That's still better than me. Trust me.
It did better than I woulda.
If it was me falling over the steps in a dance performance, I'd stay down after the second time too.
Sometimes you just have to let gravity win
Gravity indeed.
Comedian Fred Berry, the guy who played Rerun from "What's Happening", came with headliner Pauly Shore at a stand-up show in my hometown back in like 2000. Famous for his high voice, high energy, and red beret - he accidentally walked right off the frontend of the stage mid-set. He was portly, so it wasn't graceful. He continues the rest of his set in the pit until he introduces Pauly on stage -- to which Pauly books it top speed and jumps in after him.
MC: Would you 2 fools get outta there!
Pauly: No. We like down here!
Rerun: We've accepted our fate. It's closer to hell down here.
Pauly: Trust me, I'd be easier if you just bring everyone into the pit.
Honestly, there was a short time where I thought the prat fall might have been an intentional bit… then it just lay there and eventually the guy shows up to drag it off stage lol.
The comedic timing on the song is fantastic lol
I love that the guy who shame-drags the clanker out of there is giving hints of moonwalking himself.
I mean if he did this clip would be all over the place.
You laugh now, but you'll remember these days fondly when the robot simply fell down instead of getting up and moonwalking while spraying bullets
This is perfect drunk dancing strategy. If some stairs sneak up on you while you're getting in your groove, retreat to safe ground and recover dignity, before taking on the stairs directly for the final victory. Magnificent.
