in now viral videoA person controlling the Unity robot accidentally kicked the humanoid directly in his groin, forcing him to groan while painfully and visibly disfigured. The promise and perils of advanced robotics,
One X user said, “Yes, let’s go ahead and train our future AI overlords how to kick ass.” took a pinch Upon viewing the clip, which was originally Posted on Chinese video sharing website Bilibili on Christmas Day. “Maybe we deserve to be made redundant.”
The video opens to the inside of a regular office in China and a man in a black motion capture suit standing next to one. Unity G1 RobotWhich follows his movements after a delay of one or two seconds. The man gets into a kickboxing stance and then begins to move, shadowbox and kick into the air, until the robot slams into him and kicks him in the nutsack, causing both the man and the person holding the camera to scream in pain.
Bilibili’s original poster wrote that the man in the motion capture suit was directing the robot’s own actions through the use of a motion control model based on neural networks, and that is why there is a slight delay between the man’s actions and the robot’s movements.
“This delay will gradually reduce as technology advances, potentially reaching 0.1 seconds,” the poster wrote on Bilibili.
Jokes came on video on X and elsewhere misalignmentThe concept in which an AI system will be optimized for its goals, but will not take into account ethical concerns or otherwise cause harm.
“I guess they forgot to hard-code the three laws into their robots,” An X user saidReferring to science fiction author Isaac Asimov Three Laws of Robotics Found in his novels and short stories that aim to control robotic behavior and prevent them from harming humans.
Apart from the novelty factor of this video, it is also another demonstration of the increasing agility of these robots like Unitri that can run And dance With enthusiasm.
But be careful – despite all this glitz, many tech experts believe that humanoid robots are not quite ready for prime time use in human environments due to various hardware and software problems. However, considering the pain the Unity robot’s kicks caused that guy, these clankers may be better suited for a boxing ring than a factory floor, where they could be used for fighting matches like in the movie. real Steel,
