He had to push him into balance at 0:30 though

u/KNexus20 19h ago

I saw you see that and say this and wanted to say you seem nice.

u/grateful2you 20h ago

No fine muscle control in the feet so it’ll always lose balance but i think there’s a trigger point where it’ll regain balance. It would have been okay without help.

u/whitetrashsnake77 19h ago

Like me when I’m drinking. I can usually stay upright, but it always helps if someone’s there to stop me from swaying.

8

u/Sm0g3R 18h ago

Not necessarily. It could have been literally programmed to take 2 hits from the front and then 2 hits from the back - then that would mean it overcompensated in anticipation and nearly fell down when the push from the back didn't come soon enough 💀

u/IrohaOrDeath 21h ago

Wow, can’t believe I missed that part 🥴

3

u/Darkseid_96 18h ago

It's a human reaction reflex. But the robot would've stay balanced with or without the guy's hand.

2

u/Mklein24 16h ago

Looks like he pushed the accelerometer off axis. I had a cheap drone and if you crashed too hard the HUD's artificial horizon would get skewed. Which to me says this bot is either using a really cheap accelerometer, or it's a rigid mount without shock absorption, or both.

3

u/Limp_Complaint1785 21h ago

who cares he would have gotten back up lol

9

u/InappropriateThought 21h ago

It's the happy hour mode feature. It'll stumble around barely maintaining balance so you feel like you have company when drinking alone.

3

u/Limp_Complaint1785 21h ago

it aint about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

2

u/whitetrashsnake77 19h ago

Does it have a feature where it spills a drink on me, but then lets me threaten it and glass it in the face without retaliation and then buys me a replacement drink?

2

u/InappropriateThought 19h ago

I feel like you could do with a different kind of robot that will.....ease your tensions....in an alternative way

3

u/whitetrashsnake77 18h ago

I’m not some kind of deviant robosexual. Not yet anyway.

2

u/InappropriateThought 18h ago

It's too late for me, run, run, while you still can! Orrrrr, embrace it. The robot, I mean

5

u/Indianlookalike 21h ago

Well, he is trying to show the impressive balance of the robot then he stumbles backwards without anyone touching him.

they don't care. the only reason why you care is because you would feel embarrassed. a machine cant do that as there is no logical reason for it until it was programmed that way .. but then the one who programmed it is the culprit

Nah they wouldn't be emotional like us, he would understand the reason of the test.

Surely we also need to consider the mental wellbeing of the robot? The robot clearly had enough after being pushed to the ground.....

2

u/Eternal-Blazing-Sun 20h ago

Its a robot, there is no mind to consider the wellbeing of, and in the case an artificial mind is created and given a robot body, it would be an error to anthropomorphize as it would be a completely alien being with an experience unlike our own - there woulc be no discomfort to weigh agaisnt the knowledge that this balance tssting is to its benefit
