Except the examples you gave are both NOT what they're proposing here. You had robots well away from humans with hardware systems preventing them from impacting human space. The first example didn't even involve humans.
This system is meant to be used up close and "in the action".
- drone 14y agoThat is not true at all. Milo and its little brethren have been used for many years, in place and with the actors. In case you missed the notes about it, these systems come with detection, fail-safes, and kill switches to prevent issues. And -always- have a human operator in final control of them. See, for example: http://www.mrmoco.com/images/rigs/talos/img5-fullsize.jpg http://www.mrmoco.com/images/rigs/talos/img5-fullsize.jpg
- Qworg 14y agoThat system doesn't appear to be able to even reach the actor. What detection? What fail-safes? This new system is built to be handled totally remotely. The time it takes a human to respond results in dead people.
- robomartin 14y agoI just gave two use cases and you chose to generalize from there. MOCO rigs have been used in just about every application you could possibly imagine. I once worked on a system that got dropped of a cliff on cables, next to a stunt guy, all computer controlled.
