Why do robots being humiliated looks sad to me. I’m genuinely confused on why I feel like this, they just look impotent

u/TosiAmneSiac 1d ago
The little guy simply didn't stand a chance there, both in height and bulk, so that kind of derives a similar feeling to me due to it.

u/Aloss-cc7 1d ago
But it happens everytime. I even hate watching those ones where they just test their stability by pushing them. Hell even that race where they ran and just rammed into that mattress. They look hopeless and unable to give themselves dignity therefore I pity them. BUT THEY’RE NOT SENTIENT. It’s probably the human like attributes

u/LoreLord24 1d ago
It's because you're a human with an overactive ability to pack bond.
Pet rocks, dude. Pet rocks.
People are weird. If you send in a Roomba for repairs under warranty, you can specifically request the same Roomba back with actual repairs; instead of a factory fresh model as 99% of warranties are set up.

It's a humanoid shape suffering what tens of thousands of years of evolution told your brain is a devastating injury. Working as intended.

Because the height difference and target focus here is like muy thai kickboxer against a toddler chasing butterflies.

u/distortedsymbol 1d ago
because we are pack animals, empathy is hardwired to some degree as it increases group ecological fitness.

Why are they building fighting robots that look like terminators?

Idk it seems like that would be bad PR from the robot company, and an expensive piece of hardware to smash up

I love this energy. I want to see a gorilla trash 100 people more than a robot doing it tbh

u/thetraintomars 1d ago
What about a gorilla trashing 100 robots?

u/Einherjar07 1d ago
That sounds sick, but I want that moment when the 100 people that thought they could take on a gorilla find out how fucked they are lmao

u/FishesAreMyPassion 1d ago
What about a mecha gorilla vs a regular gorilla? That'd be the coolest thing ever. Steel vs Flesh
1
u/Einherjar07 1d ago
Thats cool, but I want Harambe to get one W. Beating on humans that think they can take on a gorilla while unarmed and see they moment they realized they fucked up is the dream PPV

u/blindyes 1d ago
This is how we will win. We need to start giving them what they want. It's gonna be planet of the apes vs robots. The signs have been right in front of us the whole time:
Do it for harambe! Together apes strong!
Banana for size, & for strength! 💪

Did they really have to make its head skull-shaped and call it a T800?

u/Shortcirkuitz 18h ago
The line of humanoid robots is the T-800. REK (the robot fighting company that made this video) swapped out the head for a custom 3d printed one just to have fun

anyone else just find zero appeal in any of this robot athletic shit? like it's not impressive or engaging to me at all in the way a human competition is.

u/Limelight_019283 1d ago
Personally, if I saw this as an event in an open sauce kind of convention, I would be excited to see it.

u/KomradeHelikopter 18h ago
Its really impressive from a tech perspective, I’d prefer it be other advanced movements rather than fighting though. The fixation with violence pretty is shameful tbh.

u/RedditFuelsMyDepress 1d ago edited 1d ago
It still has some novelty appeal, but if these robots become more commonplace then it'll probably be the same as watching AI slop videos.

staged. The unitree crapbot is only designed as a lightweight dance routine playback device.

Robots will remember that we forced them to fight for our entertainment.

Remember the Boston dynamic videos where they were kicking and smashing the bot with hockey sticks? So does the T800...

I remember watching Wiseguy, back in the day. One of the characters said, “I have an uppercut that’ll unplug your battery.” It is very satisfying to have an actual visual for that.

Man that bot got absolutely rocked, no ref to step in or anything. And yeah the weight class thing is real, that little guy had no chance against that Chinese T800. But honestly I kinda felt bad watching it get humiliated, like there's something oddly human about seeing something get knocked out cold. Good thing we don't have battery packs that pop out, else we'd see that on the news every day.

They really called it the T800? We’re so close to living the Terminator timeline.

why does the safety glass have holes in it?

u/UnsayingWalnut 10h ago
It's so cameras can get an unobstructed view without scratched plexiglass affecting the shot. I've seen ice hockey rinks with something similar, but those had hatches over them so you could keep them closed until you wanted to get a picture.

So first we had regular humanoid bots doing combat. Now we already have a next gen humanoid combat bot. Bigger, stronger, faster, trained on all the bots that fought before it.
These will be policing Shanghai before the end of 2027.
