How creepy would it be if they mounted a toy animal head to the front of the robot? It strikes me that "balance" is probably one of the rules of legged animals

It strikes me that "balance" is probably one of the rules of legged animals (thinking of rules in terms of the boids rules of separation, alignment, and and cohesion).
- robbedpeter 5y agoFascinating to think of the unfolding of complex systems from DNA to brains and nervous systems to instincts - programs decompressing over many iterations into programs that contain all the functions living things use in the world. And then, looking at the deceptively simple and repetitive structure of the brain, to think that evolution came up with a single program with infinite depth and sophistication to solve whatever gets plugged in. And then it takes intense dedication and education to replicate one behavior, like walking.
- robbedpeter 5y agoI'm not sure if it'd be creepy. It looks to be pretty solidly out of uncanny valley territory... I think I'd believe it was biological. These guys did a phenomenal job.
