teachnlearn Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 They will be selling tickets to have a dance with a robot. RJF Quote
WayneMahler Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Thinking this is how Robotics Engineers have fun ? Amazing at what they can do now, but scary at the same time. Quote
ChelCass Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 OMG! That is so awesome! Can you imagine the brilliant people it took to do this. Thanks so much for sharing. Quote
teachnlearn Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) My professional career was in robotics. Designed various robots for military, hospitals and industries. Back in the 80s and 90s we had to work like heck to get the accuracy to have electronic components placed on a circuit board by 'robot'. The software was backwards and slow to design and the robots took a heck of a lot of alignment to get them to work. I've kept up a bit on the industry with professional magazines and self taught some of the newer computer language.. My original computer languages were Basic, Assembler, Cobal and Fortran. Now I've read the government can't get their computer software updated cause its written in Cobal and no one knows it. Three D printers have updated prototyping to on the desktop rather then a one time expensive outside shop doing it once. Conferences were in person, The design computer was over the top expensive and each engineer had to sit down at the terminal to do their specialty. Now its on the fly online conference with everyone involved from their home. Lots of incredible advancements. Communicating with various professional folks in my field I find they aren't trained to be able to trouble shoot circuit boards. Its either a computer hook up, or pull and replace boards. I started in the field trouble shooting and fixing individual industrial circuit boards. Guess that's 'advancement'. An old friend contacted me several years ago. He works for a company that created parts for the railroad. They had an old computer that got programs fed into it by punched paper tape. They were having trouble finding computer parts or a tech that could trouble shoot the circuit board. They were stuck in a continued loop. They had thousands of designs and programs all put on paper tape and all relied on the computer. They didn't have the money to have every bit of their software redesigned and jump to a modern computer. The industry has taught the newest software, newest circuit design and dropped the basics. Everything is just thrown in the trash when it doesn't work. A lot of these dance moves have been a fascination and study of robot designers. Humans have a great capacity to move and self correct their balance. With high speed cameras and a lot of physics there have been studies of were the center of the weight has to be at any time so the robot doesn't fall over. Seems they solved that bit. The other has been the incredible about of power to drive a computer and move the robot without it dying in seconds. I keep going back and forth on computer generated and real robots. Even if they are real, I'm balancing on a series of videos pasted together with a lot of power replacement or charging in between.

I came across a video describing how this was done. There is no AI (artificial intelligence) involved. From what I learned, robotic engineers have managed to get robots to balance successfully using software and gyros etc. Then it took some very clever program writing to to enable them to do this dance. Every step and function is programmed into the machines. It does not, IMHO, remove any of the wonder of seeing machines capable of performing like this. Quote
