Disney's newest robot demonstrates collaborative cuteness
- tamimio 3y agoThat’s a walking nightmare, not sure what’s cute about it.. that being said, I wished they talked more about the technicalities being on IEEE than just advertising Disney.
- actionfromafar 3y agoI thought it advertised the new labor camp.

- paradox460 3y agoFwiw this is spectrum, not proceedings. Spectrum has always been a bit more pop, closer to popular science than a real journal. I remember their goofy renders of folding computers in the early 00s looking like something right out of popular science
- Animats 3y agoNice. Disney did something like that once before. They had a dinosaur pulling a cart in one of the parks. The cart was doing most of the work. The legs of the dinosaur were playing an animation, not propelling the cart. Eventually they'll have free-roaming intelligent robots in the parks, but not yet.
- ijhuygft776 3y agoThat's not a robot...
- jagged-chisel 3y agoWhat definition of “robot” are we using here?
- dylan604 3y agoI imagine like the "robot" in MIB where they open it up, and there is something not mechanical inside
- ijhuygft776 3y agofor me, it is software that controls moving hardware in a way that is "smart", but not predictable (for lack of a better word). Examples of some things that aren't robots: - Remote controlled thing that looks like a robot - An automata that is pre-programmed to do the same thing over and over - a "robot" arm in a car factory that paints the same thing over and over - etc... In other words, it needs to be somewhat smart
- squigz 3y agoWhat are some examples of things that are robots?
- kypro 3y agoWhat's going on with that huge pixelated gif for the lead image? Could they not use webm?
- taspeotis 3y agoiOS doesn’t support WebM, so no.
- jlund-molfese 3y agoIt hasn't always been this way, but Safari on iOS (and therefore all iOS browsers) and on Mac have supported WebM for years.
- ferbivore 3y agoSafari on iOS does not support WebM.
- 6th 3y agoI wish I could delete whole sites like GIPHY - WHY DO YOU EVEN EXIST‽
- dylan604 3y agohow about a format with a codec designed for actual motion video.
- slim 3y agoit has it's arms collaborating with it's wheels
- Rallen89 3y agoNot directly related but Disney has a YouTube channel that irregularly posts interesting developments in animation and human tracking. (for animation hopefully) https://www.youtube.com/@DisneyResearchHub https://www.youtube.com/@DisneyResearchHub
