- transitionnel 3y agoThat's fake man. But yeah, I checked out those jobs ;) They certainly know what to do. Just not how.
- sashank_1509 3y agoWhy do you call it fake?
- transitionnel 3y agowell, CGI as opposed to footage of a physical robot doing those things shown. They forgot the: *for inspirational purposes only
- sashank_1509 3y agoI’m willing to bet a million dollars there was no CGI in figures recent video. What video are you even talking about??
- transitionnel 3y ago"I hope you're right ;)" "They have a better chance at proving or disproving this than we do."
- numpad0 3y agohow did I not notice this obvious greenscreen composition!? it is!
- yakz 3y agoIt's easy to make a cool looking demo with robots, even one that runs right in front of you in person. Making a video is basically nothing, though, too much cherry-picking. Anyone that works with robots will just assume you have burned a lot of time repeating takes to cover up all of the failures. For the rubber to meet the road you chop that scope way, way, waaaaaaaaaaay down to make a robot do something useful. Maybe this new ML wave will bring about a more generally useful robot, it certainly feels like it will at least open up a ton of new avenues for R&D.
