Technically, nothing can run crysis. (I was actually amused to see that at highest settings some modern PC's have actually gotten worse at running Crysis compared to older, weaker hardware, and still nothing exists that can run it reliably if you set everything to maximum. - which you shouldn't, but you know. It's amusing.) Part of the problem modern PC's face is that they use multicore CPU's, while Crysis was made in a period where it was assumed CPU's would continue to get faster clock speeds (which they didn't), and thus makes only minimal use of multithreading. And for single threaded tasks, some modern processors actually got slower. (And certainly haven't improved anywhere near as much as they have for multithreaded tasks.)

@@sms7048 You might be surprised. People anthropomorphise all kinds of inanimate objects, and robotic companions are used in care for children way up on the autistic spectrum, already. Kids got attached to their Furbies, back when I was a kid, and even the completely faked "learning" they had personified them a little bit (in reality, every Furby was identical, and just unlocked a series of words over time, rather than learning environmentally like they were marketed to). It's also worth pointing out the HUGE Aibo subculture in Japan. Aibo was Sony's dog companion from the turn of the century, and many owners still love their Aibo, to the point when their Aibo "dies", becomes irreparable, they hold funerals for them, and there is a culture of Aibo "organ donation" now. Basically, a robot companion, with a small amount of artificial personality and even without random variability, can provide the emotional support people are after. People are great at lying to themselves about things like this.
@ProgM Ehm... Simply by looking at it? The thing is too small, too weak, and too unstable. Even if it were to bump into someone, most likely, that robot would fall over.
@ProgM Considering how much robot technology is struggling right now, hardly this thing will be widely used in military for the next few decades, or ever, really. It brings no benefit except for being remotely controlled. Other than that, a common trained soldier is more efficient. Far more efficient.
sorry to stop the tinfoil hats. but there are already drones and airplanes that the military has and they work with AI. a robot with 4 leg is totally useless for the military. a drone runs for much longer and it's suitable for basically any terrain and it's faster and yes it has guns.
Can you imagine an army of these just being slung into a battlefield, upgraded to hit 45 to 55 mph, running, sprinting, jumping...carrying weaponized drones on their backs or what have you. Half of them with emergency supplies to trapped soldiers. They run a blanket cover, and when it's over and some are too damage, they destroy themselves.

haha, excellent reference, but really, when we're talking about future AI robots, or aliens, do they even have a concept of violence? Likely not. This whole idea of war, and life, and death, and conquering, and controlling may just be ideas that only very simple, basic earthly life forms conceive of.?
The automated gun technology we already have will blow you away. When I got out of the Army in 12' we had c.r.o.w systems, which have the option to be fully automated. They used microphones to listen for sniper fire. It could tell by the sound of the bullet EXACTLY where it came from. Turn and engage the sniper automatically. It doesn't miss, period. We also have (I forget the name) auto mini guns that take out mortars. Now think about that for a moment. A, mortar. Something that can be as small as a grenade, moving at a high rate of speed, coming from 100-1000+ ft in the air. It detects it, tracks it, lights it up and blows it up before it lands. If there is one thing computers can do, is kill humans with deadly accuracy. This is stuff we already have... in service... right now. Anyone who has been deployed in the last 10 years knows that sound. "Buuump, buuump, buuump, in coming!, incoming!, incoming!... MMMMMMEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!! BOOOOOOOOOM!"

that was the first thing that came to mind. kind of creepy how it looks exactly like the one in the show. They're gonna use it for police applications so I guess it's only a matter of time 😂
Same thing here
I'm pretty sure that episode was inspired by these machines, not the other way around.
Since watching "Metalhead" (Black Mirror) - I am terrified!
Now show me the real footage of this thing field tested with a minigun on its back with 100% headshot accuracy 🤭
Why do you think they are perfecting those human body detecting cameras ;)
Exactly my thoughts!!!
EMP proof?
You realise there already are armed robots, sniper ones iirc.
Insufficiently heavy and too high center of gravity to handle the recoil and resulting vibration. The accuracy would be terrible.
Once you see Boston Dynamics/Marc Raibert's robots, EVERYTHING ELSE looks and performs amateurish by comparison.
They should get together with Elon Musk.
Have you seen the Russian "robots" that were just a person inside 😂
Honda had some pretty sweet humanoid ones, but have not seen much about them for years now!

Nah Rovers are alot more efficient. Something like this uses too much power, the feet wouldn't do well in the sand and rocks, and would be tough to put solar panels somewhere.
@Tony Belazquine How? You do realise how small the space exploration budget is compared to literally everything else, right? If you split the Nasa 2019 budget and gave it to all the homeless people, they'd get $140 each. A lot less than that after taking out the massive logistics cost of giving cash to 150 million random people. That will achieve absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, space exploration projects have given us reason to invent some of the most useful technologies of the modern age.
Didnt you see the movie Mars? That's how everyone dies.
@Tony Belazquine You are suggesting that we train robot dogs to kill the homeless? You monster!

they probably want to use it to work on electrical equipment on those oil rigs so people don't die from arc flash
I m sorry I beg your pardon. Can you plz tell me what kind of job are we taking about here? Does it has to do something with high voltage power supply lines?
Or they could wear the right equipment and follow the right procedures
Likely Only if the cost of the robot is below the price they have to pay the family.
They are more likely to want to use it around leaks etc. Electrical equipment generally is not serviced live. Leaks by there nature are.

Technically, nothing can run crysis.
(I was actually amused to see that at highest settings some modern PC's have actually gotten worse at running Crysis compared to older, weaker hardware, and still nothing exists that can run it reliably if you set everything to maximum. - which you shouldn't, but you know. It's amusing.)
Part of the problem modern PC's face is that they use multicore CPU's, while Crysis was made in a period where it was assumed CPU's would continue to get faster clock speeds (which they didn't), and thus makes only minimal use of multithreading.
And for single threaded tasks, some modern processors actually got slower. (And certainly haven't improved anywhere near as much as they have for multithreaded tasks.)
It's not a computer.....

For blind and handicapped people yes. But I can’t imagine this thing providing emotional support to people in hospitals or with mental illnesses.
@@sms7048 people get attached to cars, motorbikes, guns... Things that helped us in our lives have emotional value. Can't see why robots can't take that place, especially with narrow AI.
@@sms7048 You might be surprised. People anthropomorphise all kinds of inanimate objects, and robotic companions are used in care for children way up on the autistic spectrum, already.
Kids got attached to their Furbies, back when I was a kid, and even the completely faked "learning" they had personified them a little bit (in reality, every Furby was identical, and just unlocked a series of words over time, rather than learning environmentally like they were marketed to).
It's also worth pointing out the HUGE Aibo subculture in Japan. Aibo was Sony's dog companion from the turn of the century, and many owners still love their Aibo, to the point when their Aibo "dies", becomes irreparable, they hold funerals for them, and there is a culture of Aibo "organ donation" now.
Basically, a robot companion, with a small amount of artificial personality and even without random variability, can provide the emotional support people are after. People are great at lying to themselves about things like this.

a drone runs for much longer and it's suitable for basically any terrain and it's faster and yes it has guns.
Can you imagine an army of these just being slung into a battlefield, upgraded to hit 45 to 55 mph, running, sprinting, jumping...carrying weaponized drones on their backs or what have you. Half of them with emergency supplies to trapped soldiers. They run a blanket cover, and when it's over and some are too damage, they destroy themselves.

The automated gun technology we already have will blow you away. When I got out of the Army in 12' we had c.r.o.w systems, which have the option to be fully automated. They used microphones to listen for sniper fire. It could tell by the sound of the bullet EXACTLY where it came from. Turn and engage the sniper automatically. It doesn't miss, period. We also have (I forget the name) auto mini guns that take out mortars. Now think about that for a moment. A, mortar. Something that can be as small as a grenade, moving at a high rate of speed, coming from 100-1000+ ft in the air. It detects it, tracks it, lights it up and blows it up before it lands. If there is one thing computers can do, is kill humans with deadly accuracy. This is stuff we already have... in service... right now. Anyone who has been deployed in the last 10 years knows that sound. "Buuump, buuump, buuump, in coming!, incoming!, incoming!... MMMMMMEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!! BOOOOOOOOOM!"
