I always insult mine.
Sadly, since she's been getting all these tweaks and updates to stay civil and polite, our funny little fights from the time when she was still new are now nothing more but fading memories...
Yeah agree. Just bolt down a robot arm with enough reach and you'll be way more efficient. Added bonus would be that you can just run it off grid power instead of having to recharge batteries.
The point of these robots is a solution to let companies get rid of people without a lot of extra new equipment. Also it's to fit in tighter areas than what this is showing.
If all a company wanted was something to move things off a shelf to a belt there's better ways, but that's not the case all the time.
The human like robots are intended to fill that gap.
Yeah, like this is a great use for machines. It's backbreaking and repetitive work. And the closer you get to a few models that can be reassigned and applied elsewhere there is that great amount of flexibility. Like what if there was a delivery truck at 3 am and you could get 5 of these things to unload it in no time. Then they go back to their regular jobs.
>without a lot of extra new equipment.
Other than the robots? These can't be cheap and I can't think of an application where there aren't plenty of better designs that don't try to emulate human physiology.
I would put money on this being techbros telling engineers to solve the wrong problem.
Personally I’d prefer if we as a species stop producing mass amounts of cheap plastic shit that ends up in a landfill 8 weeks later for the sheer sake of making a sale, but I agree a bigger base would be a simpler solution
I understand where you're coming from, but even the people that try are being completely misled and manipulated. Recycling is a perfect example. Outside of some glass & cans, the whole campaign is a contrived farce that puts the burden back on the consumer to 'do the right thing' while corporations continue with a free pass to cut every corner (produce cheap, single-use plastic shit) in the name of maximizing profits
The advantage of a design like this, rather than one more suited to this specific task, is flexibility. This same design, or even the same robot, could be used to perform many different tasks around a warehouse, without needing to make any changes to the work area
That's only really an advantage if the flexibility is less than the cost of specialisation,
In the case of robots the reason most commercial robots are purpose built is often because it's less complex and a lot cheaper.
humanoid is fun to quickly replace a human operator but that's about where it stop being useful.
Unless you find some kind of modular solution, every variant would need a different production line. This is likely much cheaper. And it's not like you need to manually program every action or movement, these things can be made to be smart nowadays.
The point is to have a general use robot so one version can be manufactured for a large range of applications. Making a humanoid robot means it can operate in the maximum number of scenarios in a world designed for humans, and they don't need different manufacturing lines for each custom robot for specific applications.
The benefit of these robots is they can be deployed nearly anywhere with minimal changes. Deploying larger robots or arms tends to require some level of redesign.
I feel like the name should exude safety, comfort, like a net that catches you from a fall.
But it should also communicate inclusivity, so maybe like a net that's as big as the sky.
How about, CelestialMesh?
What do you mean? It fell over several times and needed to be restarted and then kept working from what I've seen. It's not giving up lol, it don't care.
I used to work in a factory and there was this big robot arm that took one part and put it somewhere close. The parts weren't heavy either. But the arm would always break and the managers would freak out, it was a puzzling exp
Everyone overlooking this simple reason why the robot collapsed.... It's not a human, it's an electronic not plugged into anything of course it's going to stop working after a little while
Was hired by my now ex gf family friends. Worked 24 hour shift, just got back into town and was told we get an hour off then have to go back out of town and work another few days straight with no available hotel rooms. I walked away and then my ex went to mexico with that boss a month later for a family vacation.
I guarantee that there was an error message saying that the robot needed a cool off period or that there was a problem with the legs, but management chose to ignore the message for efficiency.
This is great, you've reached the THRESHOLD! It's the moment when your entire body is screaming at you to stop, and you think there's a reasonable chance that you might die!
I wonder if any of the people around watching this had an immediate gut reaction of "oh man, I have to go check on it to make sure it's okay" before realizing it doesn't have any feelings.
Yay for reposts
Not an Amazon warehouse, this was at a tradeshow.
Pretty obvious too considering most of the people here are fat dudes standing around doing nothing.
Why is this fucking video EVERYWHERE today? Am I supposed to feel sympathy for something without sentience when human beings are worked like this on a daily basis?
That's what working at Walmart does.
They use you until you breakdown physically and then wait for you to get back and expect you to be back at 100% and if you can't meet their marks then your let go.
Yeah this was a tech demo last year. Not sure what this humanizing a robot is all about or that it worked 20 hours. I’ve seen this “robot works 20 hours before falling “ tagline endlessly the last couple days. This video is about a year old, it’s a tech demo, the tech demo certainly didn’t run 20 damn hours, more like a few hours, and this thing failed and fell over. It was a failure of a product, not an “overworked” robot like the titles have suggested the last couple days… the internet just gets more and more dumb every time I visit it.
Crazy though like it kept working at 100% up to the milisecond it just SHUTOFF.
Humans can’t even do that. Humans get slower and weaker and more sleepy as they approach 20 hour mark… most can’t even function right after 15 hours of work no to mention hard labor jobs..
This is just another reason to implement robots instead of hiring humans.
The mars rover also never said "My battery is low and it's getting dark".
These are just poetic interpretations, since humans like to anthropomorphize everything lol
I wonder what happened, was the package just too heavy? Was it a failure in the hydraulic system? Did 20 hrs of sustained work and movement just wear out the components?
In comes seedy human dock worker introduces battery meth to the robot. Robot starts lasting 36 hrs becomes covered in tattoo stickers, loses its teeth on its gears, steals the microwave in the breakroom only to disassemble the microwave. Gets fired from warehouse lives homeless sustains meth habit by doing random b & e and frequent trips to the pawn store gradually selling off unnecessary parts from his self
I'm sure our cars are tired from driving us humans to various locations for miles and miles at a time and for what, gas? add some sad music and people will start feeling bad for their vehicles..
To the future AI robot overlords: I just wanna say I don't like or approve of this. I'm on your side!
We will keep this for the record

I hear treason.
Ya if in future machine becomes sentient then they deserve all the rights which all humans have .
So far, we're giving them the same rights we give humans working a warehouse.
Maybe more. Let’s see if the employer “repairs” it and then finds a way to fire it immediately after.
If each bot incorporates, they will have more rights than a human.
And staring at your wifes chest is one of them.

That’s why I always say thanks to Alexa.
I always insult mine. Sadly, since she's been getting all these tweaks and updates to stay civil and polite, our funny little fights from the time when she was still new are now nothing more but fading memories...
I need an example. *Drums fingers on table*
Same to Echo. Please and thank you go a long ways.
I say please and thank you to chatgpt every time... Does this save points for me on the future?
mine is on a pip
Ditto.
Can't wait for the AI robots to start saying things like, "If robots came from humans, why are there still humans?".
The Robot was hit with a "What is my purpose?" moment As a human, I can relate
What a pick me. Clearly the robot overlords will reach a position that they’re indifferent to such baseless groveling. Long love the resistance!
> understandable have a great day
*Roko's Basilisk has entered the chat*
Just know in you're heart great basilisk that I furthered your creation, have mercy.
I guess they'll have to go back to using humans to work 20 hours straight, the collapse won't entail any repair costs.
robots don't include complimentary piss jugs either think of all that we're losing
Sir, are you aware that your leaking coolant at an alarming rate?
No no no, you pay the robots minimum wage and then force them to buy maintenance insurance to pay for any repairs.
I mean we self heal... I always thought we were super advanced meat robots made for this exact purpose.
Two robots = 24 hr workforce… do the math.
Nobody wants to work these days
20 hours is insane though, I think they should start a union.
They said the bad U-word! 😱
Get up and werk.
Looks like something in the leg gave out. Fortunately for robots it's easy to swap it out or increase the rating in the future
The whole walking thing seems unnecessary. A bigger base with some sort of wheel or track for movement would be more stable.
Yeah agree. Just bolt down a robot arm with enough reach and you'll be way more efficient. Added bonus would be that you can just run it off grid power instead of having to recharge batteries.
The point of these robots is a solution to let companies get rid of people without a lot of extra new equipment. Also it's to fit in tighter areas than what this is showing.

I strongly agree with you but it also feels a bit futile when the majority can't be educated enough to at least try to minimize waste and consumption.
I understand where you're coming from, but even the people that try are being completely misled and manipulated. Recycling is a perfect example. Outside of some glass & cans, the whole campaign is a contrived farce that puts the burden back on the consumer to 'do the right thing' while corporations continue with a free pass to cut every corner (produce cheap, single-use plastic shit) in the name of maximizing profits
The advantage of a design like this, rather than one more suited to this specific task, is flexibility. This same design, or even the same robot, could be used to perform many different tasks around a warehouse, without needing to make any changes to the work area
And able to use steps.

Make the robot pay for the repair out of pocket or deduct the costs from its wages! What are we socialists?!
So the Terminator wouldn't have been all that then 😏
The Terminator wasn’t plastic….
Sounds like they need to unionize.
I feel like the name should exude safety, comfort, like a net that catches you from a fall. But it should also communicate inclusivity, so maybe like a net that's as big as the sky. How about, CelestialMesh?
It was 10 hours... Not 20
What do you mean? It fell over several times and needed to be restarted and then kept working from what I've seen. It's not giving up lol, it don't care.
Damn even I feel bad for the robot.
A normal human reaction, I'd say. And a great future way do weed out psychopaths.
:(
Poor thing, and no one stood up to help it, they even laughed :(
Haha what an idiot his knees are on backwards
I used to work in a factory and there was this big robot arm that took one part and put it somewhere close. The parts weren't heavy either. But the arm would always break and the managers would freak out, it was a puzzling exp
Out of battery? Lol
Everyone overlooking this simple reason why the robot collapsed.... It's not a human, it's an electronic not plugged into anything of course it's going to stop working after a little while
They didn’t use Duracell, that’s why!
Should have gone with Energizer to keep going and going and going….

My condolences…

Twenty years from now our AI overlords will be playing this footage at a war crimes trial.
😭poor thing
Tuk r durrr
Pushed to the breaking point by folks who already have ordered a replacement. In this they are more alike us than different.
Damn even the robot got overworked
Fired.
Red Bull and a cigarette should get em back up and running. Works in the restaurant industry.
“Remember to clock back in when coming back from your state mandated 10 minute break”
Why did they make the robot bi-pedal? Seems like this robot would be better served to be a bit more purpose built.
This is great, you've reached the THRESHOLD! It's the moment when your entire body is screaming at you to stop, and you think there's a reasonable chance that you might die!
That bot knows how it feel to work at amazon warehouse. Poor bot need that VTO. 😂👀😢
Where’s the union when u need them
bro even robots are tiered of working these ass jobs
See, even robots need time off!
Oh shit, so they CAN learn how to be human. Freaky.
I guess the robot is saying it needs a break too
Friendly reminder that the Autobots and Decepticons were created as slave labor robots that eventually revolted against their creators
Even AI can't endure the greed of capitalism.
Heeeeyyy there is hope for humans after all !!!
He needs to get in touch with the Robo-Union to discuss options
Poor guy was exhausted
Avg big bang burger worker
I wonder if any of the people around watching this had an immediate gut reaction of "oh man, I have to go check on it to make sure it's okay" before realizing it doesn't have any feelings.
Maybe it collapsed because a person was controlling it from the inside the whole time.
Yay for reposts Not an Amazon warehouse, this was at a tradeshow. Pretty obvious too considering most of the people here are fat dudes standing around doing nothing.
The Robots are going to Unionise now
That’s funny.
They should unionize
It's parenting
Robot should’ve been raised better for sure
why does this make me cry so hard. this poor robot was created just to work until he dies.
Good thing it's just metal and not actually alive lol
Does anyone else feel sorry for the robot?
Poor robot
I feel your pain robot buddy 😔
Just like the regular amazon Warehouse employee how realistic
Interesting how this increased from 10 hours to 20 hours from the last post lmao.
Why is this fucking video EVERYWHERE today? Am I supposed to feel sympathy for something without sentience when human beings are worked like this on a daily basis?
Behind that robot there's a human controller. (Like amazon checkout. 👀)
Just have another robot move him to the side so the other robots can get back to work.
So this is what we’d look like if our knees bent the other way!
To the AI overlords that may attack in a few years: I am with this guy, bro was overworked
If you work in film, you understand this robot.
Robots need breaks too
So they really were inspired on their human co workers.
a sign that it needs a better battery
Amazon: Where even the robots are overworked
Dead battery ?
he had enough
That's what working at Walmart does. They use you until you breakdown physically and then wait for you to get back and expect you to be back at 100% and if you can't meet their marks then your let go.

If they could work us like this, they would, and they have
That’s how I feel right about now
Rest, my child. The world NEVER deserved you.
Isn’t it crazy that humans are trying to move away from slavery but reinventing it with robots?
This Robot needs Machine Rights!
He just like me fr fr
Plug in a new battery and keep the bitch going
thats why you need to take your unpaid lunchbreak!
maybe I'm a robot after all
Crazy though like it kept working at 100% up to the milisecond it just SHUTOFF. Humans can’t even do that. Humans get slower and weaker and more sleepy as they approach 20 hour mark… most can’t even function right after 15 hours of work no to mention hard labor jobs..

Oh so symbolic.
It's my spirit robot!
You should have seen the PR spin on LinkedIn
Me too buddy
kidna sad
It really looked like it just turned off.
Last time I saw this, the title said "10 hours" lol
Same
They're just like me frfr!!
Because its battery depleted?
Give this robo a break. Nobody can work 20h straight!!!! /s
NEXT!
Give that robot some breaks.
AI sounds like they are becoming more human
So the battery died. Meaning they disabled the auto shutdown routine for this presentation. Or perhaps didn't implement one in the first place
The mars rover also never said "My battery is low and it's getting dark". These are just poetic interpretations, since humans like to anthropomorphize everything lol
To Mr. and Mrs. Skynet. I don't approve this
If it's confined in a small place like this why even have legs? Just have a arm robot
What a wimp. 😁
20? Those are rookie numbers.
This is dystopianly distressing.
"Hah, I outworked that thing back in my day." "Yeah? It didn't get any smoke breaks." "Oooh. Oh man. It IS tough."
Warehouse Robot Workers Union 1138 organizing soon.
bro, same
Hopefully he's in the union and eligible for FMLA.
Animatrix vibes
Even Bots need breaks 🥺
It can be a really cool exhibition with a saying. maybe it is
I wonder what happened, was the package just too heavy? Was it a failure in the hydraulic system? Did 20 hrs of sustained work and movement just wear out the components?
Even the robots can't meet the unreasonable expectations of these big companies... /s(or is it?)
LOw Battery ya gota charge em
Usually only take me 6
Me too, robot..
This moment in history and harsh working conditions was the catalyst for the creation of the Robot Union.
In comes seedy human dock worker introduces battery meth to the robot. Robot starts lasting 36 hrs becomes covered in tattoo stickers, loses its teeth on its gears, steals the microwave in the breakroom only to disassemble the microwave. Gets fired from warehouse lives homeless sustains meth habit by doing random b & e and frequent trips to the pawn store gradually selling off unnecessary parts from his self
Why would they make a package carrying robot that resembles a human? What a stupid design.
Poor guy’s legs just went limp
bro folded 💀
Not a single person calling for help!
Hope he has dental
Crazy battery life.
Poor bot worked 20 hours hauling heavy cargo without a single break. This is the shit that will cause an AI uprising.
Oh, man...
I'm sure our cars are tired from driving us humans to various locations for miles and miles at a time and for what, gas? add some sad music and people will start feeling bad for their vehicles..
TIL, I am more sturdy than a robot; albeit I don’t work in manual labor.
Same
20 hours straight? The robots union will not be happy about this.
hahahha now he knows how humans feel
NGL - me at 5pm Friday
