Trainers controlled their robots remotely with joysticks.

soo not autonomous? just more expensive battlebots... yawn.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure it's at least semi-autonomous. In the video you can see the bots react to hits and recover their footing, there's no way a human can control all those reflex actions in real time.

Nlow that was a great show. I always wanted in on that too. Back when Radio Shack still dealt in parts for remote control cars.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Battlebots is awesome. A more expensive battle bots would be awesome.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

Here's the final round. Honestly, the robots did better than I expected. This is fun, but I think we're 5-10 years away from CCP giving these robots guns and deploying them against humans.

That was a lot more boring then I thought it would be.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Around the 35 minute mark is a fight with pink and black that ends in a very funny way.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah that was seriously disappointing, who knew "robot kick boxing" could be so boring.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

That's not a long time.

It also gives them time to finish the modernization of their navy into a true blue-water carrier-based force.

Meanwhile, the West is busy shooting itself in the head

Ok. I know. Apocalypse and dystopia. But c'mon. We have gladiator robots. That's cool

To future ai, I'm not with this guy.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I'm not worried about future a. I. I'm worried about today's, lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

That's fair 😂

Panem et circenses!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities

It's not like we stood a chance anyways. Just strap a gun to those Boston Dynamics dogs and we're all doomed.

Shudders* Yeah, humanoid robots that can do advanced human style fighting pale in comparison.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure that's the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

The first steps to Real Steel, I'm in

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Oh my god......How I Met Your Mother was right!!! This is absolutely going to lead to "Wrestlers vs Robots"!!!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Battlebots, the new vision.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Not the world's first as this fine lump of shit already exists...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Can we get robots vs wrestlers like in HIMYM? At least one dream not tainted by the future.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

This is what we're using our resources on? What a waste

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Think of it as research. For when the CCP sends robo soldiers to take over the world.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This just happens to coincide with right when Joe Taekwondo Rogan becoming a Xian.

Coincidence ? I think not.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I first read "Xian" as "fan of Xi Jinping", and then this comment would have made sense. But no, Joe Rogan claims to have become a Christian.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I've never understood xtian and xmas. Jeebus supposedly got nailed to what they call a cross, but was really a lowercase t. The abbreviations that would make sense to me would be tian and tmas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

The x isnt symbolising the cross (well kinda is too but not mainly), its a latinisation of χ the greek letter chi which makes the "ch" sound, as in Christ.

The chi-rho (from christ in greek χριστοσ) was a symbol of early christianity.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

t is a much more common letter than x, making the chance of confusion higher. x rarely gets used and kinda looks like a cross.
