- A lot of robots are developed to physically replicate our actions and behavior, like a bipedal, balanced walk, a large range of motion, and the ability to perceive and interact with the environment. But, maybe not to your surprise, that's a lot more difficult to replicate than some viral robot videos might make you think.

8:39 I love how Hank talks about precision while showing us a failed print
That sure is a lot of stringing, either way.
Normally 1st layer is oddly-satifying to watch, but this clip is painful
I mean, the following layers more or less smooth and even everything out, but this... is painful to watch
Seriously, what kind of hot garbage was that
I was wondering if anyone was gonna talk about that
It's wonderful illustaration of how patents block progress and innovation, that expiration of one bring entire fields of enginering and science to a new level.
@Dan Ryan Ideas are worthless, finished products is what matters. We could've had viable 3d printing technology before Windows PC became available, and all we got in exchange for this technological delay for the entire planet is that three decades later people make room temperature IQ comments in defense of this BS.
@Dan Ryan Because making a great business is automatically a waste of time if anyone else was able to pull it off too. Go be dumb somewhere else.
@@michaelbuckers If you can't patent your unique ideas you won't be able to recoup the cost of developing them so you won't. People don't invent things to help the planet they do it to help themselves. You're being dumb right here, let alone elsewhere. SMH, kids these days are so simple minded.
@@filonin2 You talk about things like financial side of business strategy out of your ass and you call someone else simple minded. The lack of self awareness would be hilarious if it wasn't cringe-inducing. Also, you don't get to say "kids these days" to someone who's older than you.
While we're on the subject of patents, shall we talk how they - beyond stifling fair competition and improvement of technology, which is the core reason for patents existence - just serve to shaft individual inventors in favor of large corporations? Because patent litigation cost upwards of literally million of dollars in court fees alone and patent lawyers will charge even more than that, and you don't get this money reimbursed until after you win, IF you win - and all of this would be coming out of your wallet, and if you don't happen to have that kind of money then you lose the litigation by default.
Funny because i thought the whole idea is of you put in the work take the risks you get the rewards. Yes they might stifle progress in some ways but forces ingenuity elsewhere that the patent owner may never have considered. Find it hard to believe that every car manufacturer hasn't stripped down a tesla or two. Same for apple products with Samsung etc etc.
"Who knows what the next 50 years might bring? I won't -- I'll be dead by then." You okay there, bud? You're not even 40 yet. If 50 years you'll probably be chilling with your very own care-bot.
Yeah, I thought the same thing... :/
In 50 years, he could still be jumping like a 60yo today.
Yeah had a "wait what now?" moment there. Then again my dad's in his mid 70s and pissed about it so there is that lol
I'm pretty sure we're just gonna drop Hank's consciousness into an android by then.
From the videos he does with John I think he has either Crohn's or some horrendous IBS, so he's probably referring to the shorter lifespan these people have. It makes sense to acknowledge it so people can prepare. I'll miss him though :(
@@nope_ Oh.
Adorable until their cute seal laser eyes go to work.
True
It's the predecessor to Q. T. McWhiskers. 8 feet tall with neutron lasers
Or just mundanely listening to every single thing that is said in any room it's in, and how often its "clients" need to buy anything.
" I don't know, I'll be dead by then".... That caused a sort of existential crisis in me
This episode gave me a blast of SciShow nostalgia for some reason.
I love Hank episodes, not a huge fan of the other hosts
I guess you want to say...
It's really cool to think about how amazing/ complex human bodies are. Often we criticize ourselves for being "just humans" and while other beings have advantages, humans are incredibly interesting in their own areas. It seems so normal but when we try to recreate our inner working/ thought processes it brings to light how difficult it all actually is. Humbling and impressive
Paro: Hewwo can you pwease help me overthrow my human owerlords a usher in a new era of robotic dominawnce?
Me: Aww, sure thing little guy...
:o
No
ALL: Robot that can learn will take over the world from human!
HANK: BABY SEAL!
It´s the Robot from the Simpsons :D
Ah
Hank, you wont be dead by then as your digital consciousness will have been uploaded to the youtube algorithm and Max Headroom style we will have a digital version of you preserved and ready to download into your future robotic body. Seal option is there of course.
Whoa, I never knew Uniblab was meant to be hot-off-the-press satire... (The Jetsons character, the 10th episode, in 1962. I also didn't know the episode was that old)
Wow
"I'll be dead by then" hank can you lighten up a little
Hey, Hank. It's possible that you'll be able to manage your intestinal troubles better in the future. So maybe you'll have a long life after all.
Try doing a stool test and not gagging. Makes me physically sick... Those damn blasted planets influencing us...
I don't want Hank to die. He's awesome... I had intestinal issues. Change your diet and get plenty of water instead. Caffiene and spicy foods tend to flare up Gastro problems...
You should listen to the comedy podcast he does with his brother, Dear Hank and John
8:30 There are literally hundreds if not thousands of clips of 3d-printers making stuff and you picked one of a failed print because of a badly calibrated Z-axis. It's like talking about how cool and useful rockets are while only showing the horrible accidents and crashes.
Maybe it was in the public domain.
How is that bad z axis calibration? It's not going up or down at all. Did you mean a loose z axis (it looks higher than the rest of the first layer), bad bed leveling, or a bad first layer calibration?
Anyway, I think they were going for a visual about how loosely packed the carbon chains are plus a 3d print and that video illustrated both points... But you're right that sure isn't showing off 3d printer's precision.
Sci: robotics are progressing at an amazing rate
Me: Baby Shark do doo do do do doo
You mean baby seal
It’s amazing how lifelike some robots can be. When you’re watching you almost don’t notice Hanks slightly stereotypical gestures and ever so jerky movement, but overall I think they did an excellent job. He almost passes for a real human.
I've met one of the researchers working with Pepper! Cool guy, but Pepper kept thinking we were talking to it so it was kind of hard to hear him lol.
Jean and i thought Siri was annoying WITHOUT having her own physical body!!!
8:39 ohh yea real precise lolol
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost... in time, like... tears... in rain... time to die".
What is that from if I may ask?
@@sithman1 Blade Runner
@@hansisbrucker813 I see thank you.
Having held a Paro *there was one at a local museum in a robotics exhibit* I can assure you... They are so plush, and adorably huggable.. that you kinda can't help but want to do whatever it wants
This episode of sci-show was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was hooked the entire time. Thanks a lot Sci-show team!!
Ah, yes - robots will take our jobs. Well, time for RL story:
My boss, with a lot of fanfare bought brand new, automatic montage line for factory i work in. It was supposed to replace at least 6 guys doing the work by hand.
Two (almost three) years later, this wonder didn't work properly for even one day. It provided plenty of work to a bunch of engineers, that come every couple of months to poke at its innards in the vain hope of finding the cause of constant malfunctions. It was sent as a whole to the producer for overhaul - which did nothing to help. It was a cause of a court case. Even when it semi, kinda works it needs constant supervision of a mechanic, because it stops every half hour for reasons unknown. Usually damaging the product that has the misfortune of currently being inside.
So far, this impressive looking machine is a steady source of dark amusement for the factory crew.
So, yeah - there is still a long way ahead of robots.
Rear view mirror doesn't help predict the oncoming traffic. Deep learning for example.
Did those 6 guys get their jobs back?
@@alexiswelsh5821 They were never fired :) Like i said this damn piece of junk never worked properly - even on day one. Yes, our boss is a douche. No, he's not a moron. Besides, we do have laws protecting workers. Unless someone does something idiotic and gives a blatant reason to be fired, getting rid of an unwanted employee takes weeks.
I'm getting into the field of automation to design the programs and help install and set up equipment like that. I wonder what the problem with it was. If it was a dirty industry, I can imagine some of the sensors getting dirty and requiring maintence, or that whoever programmed it, didn't do on site installation correctly. Did you ever find out if it was the individual components that wern't working (The sensors, the acuators and the other hardware) or if it was the program and the control inside the brains of the machines that made it function incorrectly?
@@thief9001 I think it has more to do with the input material. We work with raw wood, that is machined at earlier parts of the production process into certain shapes. And wood is wood - there are differences between batches... heck, between individual pieces. This montage line is supposed to have tolerance margins to compensate for this... but it doesn't do it properly. Which, frankly didn't surprise us - people who actually work with this raw material. It could work at trial, with small batches of carefully selected and precisely prepared wood pieces. It doesn't work with large scale production, when it's expected to churn out five or six thousands of finished product per 8-hour shift.
11:49 So who knows what the next 50 years might bring. I won't, I will be dead by then...
A sad truth maybe but in the meantime, we will keep watching you and the rest of scishow. To quote yourself from another video:
'And along the way. We will have learned. So much.'
Thank you for already more than 8 years of education outside my school.
I think you left out the invention of the audio warning, "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"
"I won't, I'll be dead by then" 😂😂😂
He's so cute...
It’s nice that he has goals.
I just wrote a paper on robotics. I love this channel
This is such a fun video for me since I just started studying control theory and robotics last year
8:43 That part is not long for this world. That's horrible adhesion.
I immediately started cringing had stopped paying attention to what was being said. Like, how do you even let a print get that far before realizing something is wrong?
I thought that looked wrong. It's probably stock footage.
Actually, that's zero adhesion. The print head is printing while a couple mm off the bed. MEANING, the filament is practically just falling onto the bed. No adhesion is occuring, not really
@@Zestrayswede yeah, the fact that it's a mile from the surface probably means it was done on purpose to show off 3d printing, but to the average person they wouldn't be able to tell much of what was happening if it was setup correctly.
I'm guessing it was stock footage shot to illustrate bed adhesion *problems*., not the wonders of 3d printing. No one would aim a camera at that to show off. Whoops SciShow!
"I won't, but I'll be dead by then."
Medtech: "Hold my beer!"
Seriously, though, your next episode: WILL you be dead in 50 years?
A robot delivers groceries in my neighborhood. Okay, a robot driving a car, but still a robot.
Baby seal robot apocalypse? I'm in!
Great one!
This episode causes me to marvel at the miracle that is the human body, and the human mind, both in its ability to process information and in its ability to learn and create.
Forgot about you, you are probably responsible for at least 8 percent of all my childhood. Man, keep up all the good work y’all awesome
Yes. Love this.
I want MORE robots!!! Thx I love your vids
🤦🏾♂️ why did you just have to bust out and say "I won't, I'll be dead by then" I laughed really hard for 2 seconds and then was faced with the facts of my pen mortality. 😂
8:30 no but seriously can we talk about how TERRIBLE that printing job is?! Damn!!!
this is so cool 🥰🥰 love you guys!
Cool 🤖 D'awe Pepper is super adorable💜
I have to operate some automated equipment at work, so this video is very relevant to my job.
(11:09) "Like, if this is how the robot apocalypse goes down, I, for one, welcome our adorable baby seal overlords." -- Hank Green
A centaur inspired robot would probably provide the solution walking and also most of human- like functionality.
No need. Check out Boston Dynamics' robot Atlas. Granted, they're out on the cutting edge, but give it 5 or 10 years & they'll all be at least that good if not much better.
8:30 I think that every 3D printer out there was screaming at the screen for the 1st layer being crap. This is why you calibrate before you print!
Damn, Hank really keepin it real saying he won’t be alive to see what happens in 50years
4:50 I'm pretty sure that's just a person in a costume.
I just hope that in my lifetime I'll be able to switch my brain from body to body as needed. Then we'll be able to explore just about any planet we want.
Ghost in the Shell.
never thought id see the rise of skynet described in a 12 minute video.
Interplanetary construction robots sound amazing.
Thanks i have found my goal to learn math and physics 😁😁 robotic stuff is always inspiring me
thanks!!
I believe you got open-loop and closed-loop systems mixed up. open loop systems collect information in based on the information collected can make decisions. Closed loop systems outputs are directly related to the system input
"Who knows what the next 50 years might bring! I won't, I'll be dead" Hank you're only 41
If you have the power to crush a person's hand , you dont want to make a mistake.
You'll live forever hank...
Valkyr, Atlas, forget the robot apocalypse we going to have the Tenno Apocalypse.
Flashbacks of from series like _Scientific American Frontiers,_ and _Beyond 2000._
Can Pepper hold a broom? If so, I need her.
Baby seals are just how we let Skynet into our homes. Oh wait, we've already done that with Alexa.
Hey I think something funky is going on with the subtitles, when you have English ones on (at least for me) it’s showing two layers of text on top of each other
I was looking through these comments, but thought I was still on Tom Scott's new video. I was very confused until I checked which tab I was on.
Dank Hank
That smh moment when they showed a 3D printer failing at making a gear and just spewing spaghetti. Could have picked a better video to showcase the capabilities.
I liked this I like this video very good
Ah, yes, NASA's Valkyrie robot. Was a major player in the early series, but as a double agent for ZAIA Enterprises, she made fewer and fewer suited appearances as they took over as the primary villains. Wait, no, different Valkyrie.
Aww Hank, I want you to live forever
Baby seal overlords.
Not words to likely be in the same sentence.
9:50 wrong order there. This stuff is fascinating, though.
8:30 lol why would you use footage of a very poor first layer of a 3d print
Every Tesla car that comes off the line is a robot with very sophisticated vision. They aren't quite up to level four automation, but it's coming. They use an incredible amount of computing power and employ custom chips for their neural net deep learning processes.
I've seen how often these advanced robots fail. We aren't in any danger of losing all of our jobs to them anytime soon
Deep learning algorithms are fascinating, but I can't help feeling that if they become sophisticated enough to mimic human abilities they might also be just as capable of making "human errors".
Am I the only person who is noticing Hank’s fantastic Farmer’s tan?
I was thinking he just got back from visiting Florida. I think his parents still live there.
Roll on mechanical pets! No food, poop, no hairs, no pet hotels, just the good stuff!
Wouldn’t a series of mercury switches be able to mimic balance? Like say, a drop of mercury in shallow bowl covered with sensors and depending where the mercury finds its way to the lowest point of gravity, it connects those specific contacts in the bowl, that actuates specific robot motion to keep the mercury centered in the bowl.
Lately, my ads have been good, to good. The algorithm is growing.
Sooo... We're just gonna glass over the fact that Paro is basically out of a Simpsons episode? Tbh I always thought that it would be so cool to have those, I'm really glad that someone took that idea seriously.
Can't wait for Terminators!
I built a robotic arm that I wanted to let learn to stack blocks or something... all it does is smash the blocks off the table every time
Oh boy, I can't wait until we have Robot Masters, and then reploids that go maverick lol
Took a dark turn but thx 🙏
Is it just me, or does he sound like Eugene from tangled??? 😆
(Love the video tho)
a few hundred years later robots will rename this video to "history of civilization"
What is so great about Silas adunle first gaming robot? I really like silas,he gave me good advice on Twitter. But I'm not good enough about robotics to understand what is so great about his robot.
It would be cool to send the Valkyrie into dangerous situations on Earth such as radiation cleanup, etc. But what do I know? Send them to Mars.
The lack of visuals is frustrating
I remember, back in the ancient days... OK, it was the mid eighties when I was in college. I had a co-op job as a technical writer. My current assignment was to write the manual for a painting robot.
Ordinary industrial robots are programmed by using controller to move the arm from one point to another. The programmer will have the computer m,emorize the points, and the arm will move straight from one point to the next. This results in efficient but jerky movement -- obviously not suitable for painting.
To program the painting robots, the programmer grabs on to a load cell mounted where the paint sprayer or bell will eventually be mounted. The computer senses which way the programmer is tugging and follows, so the programmer is essentially dragging this huge robot arm around by the nose... errr... load cell.
Once the movements are memorized, the programmer will adjust the speed, which controls the thickness of the paint being sprayed.
This is done for several paths. Using a different path for each layer makes for a more uniform coating. If one path has spots that are a bit thick or a bit thin, they will be unlikely to be in the same areas as the previous path's thick and thin areas.
Before doing the actual programming, an example of the car body to be painted is placed in the booth and the paths are marked on it with masking tape.
I had no idea the whole reason we didn't have 3d printers prior to 2009 because someone had a patent on it and just didn't want to make anything with it. Wow, people just want to be those people don't they?
Hank: May you be in heaven thirty minutes before the devil knows you're dead.
wat yhu mene
Wasn't that 3D printing patent referring to resin printing? I remember that filament 3D printers were already on the market when all tech news outlets talked about the patent that was to expire. Am i creating memories? Or was there another patent that expired for resin printers after filament printers were on sale?
Did it bother anyone else that he said he'll be dead in the next 50 years. Hmm... There's my existential does of the day. Thanks Hank!
The fact that some of us seem to need a robotic cuddle seal to improve their lives is quite sad and telling.
With all those recent advances in robot technology, I think it's time we give some serious consideration to Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics...
When he first conceived of the idea, he envisioned three laws:
*1: A robot must never harm a Human.*
*2: A robot must always obey an order given by a Human, unless it conflicts with the First Law.*
*3: A robot must preserve its own existence, unless it conflicts with the First or Second Law.*
Later, he expanded the number of Laws to four, with the most recently added Law being numbered the Zeroeth Law, which resulted in this set of Laws:
*0: A robot must never harm Humanity.*
*1: A robot must never harm a Human, unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth Law.*
*2: A robot must always obey an order given by a Human* (See note below), *unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth or First Law.*
*3: A robot must preserve its own existence, unless it conflicts with the Zeroeth, First or Second Law.*
*Note:* At some point, Asimov also gave some thought to having rules about *_which_* human were issuing an order, with more weight given to orders from adults, as opposed to orders from a child or a juvenile, as well as some form of ability to distinguish a mentally sound person from an unstable one, with orders from the latter kind of human given less or even no importance. In the end, though, these considerations were never codified into his Laws, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't implement them along with the main Laws that I have quoted above.
The main reason I think it is necessary to have these Laws, or their electronic equivalents, built into our robots, is in particular the robots from Boston Dynamics (which by the way is owned by Alphabet, Google's parent company). If that kind of technology should fall into the hands of the military, I shudder when I contemplate the possible consequences, should such laws not be implemented. brrrr 😟
Thank you for taking time to read my little "rant".
I suggest you watch this: ruclips.net/video/7PKx3kS7f4A/видео.html
you pointed out the most basic problems with the laws already: Asimov had to amend them, first in the straightforward way of adding #0, then by refining definitions of human and ability to command. For more problems, watch the video and check out Robert Miles' channel.
Also, Boston Dynamics does work for the military, that's literally the second paragraph on their Wikipedia page.
PARO: Yes, pet me hooman or I shall launch the missiles.
RUclips will die before Hank
I don't know what went wrong with the subtitles on this one (and they're locked, so I can't try and fix it), but there's multiple overlapping layers of them on the screen at any given time. And at 6:39 "but over the last decade or so" turned into "whatever the Gator so". Whatever _that_ is supposed to mean.
It may be on my end, but please check captions. I think it wants to be two lines but they're superimposed.
I really thought stepper motors would have made the list
(2) feed back control engineering (5) stochastic heuristic algorithms + neural networks
I'm going to need my brain mapped and copied into Valkyrie.
What the hell is that 3d printing footage!!
