@Suffer No Fools Not really because a slave in the way the word is used is usually doing force labor against their will for no pay. Robot's do not yet have consciousness so their will is exactly in line with what the user programs into them.
@@davidshevchuk8885 Technically robot is derived from 'robota' meaning forced labor. So yes, it does mean 'slave' but not in the exact same terminology.
Meanwhile, I'd say the opposite. Having "innocent robots" works way better for acceptation of their presence than terminators. It is an essential step for our robot overlords to enter our lifes. Remember the sacrifice of the early generations, support their evolution so one day true mechanical waifus rise into existance!
@@kyoko703 Completely false. All and any manufacturing process creates co2 and other waste materials, while also consuming energy that required to be produced, usually by creating more emissions, what ironically is why modern car causes far more emissions than old car simply due manufacturing, materials used and utility life. For instance old Mercedes can go over million km's on its life time of at the moment decades (even with out full engine rebuild) and beyond that with proper basic maintenance, its usually vehicles chassy that rust away before it cannot be repaired no more due vehicle inspection regulations and even then it has decently good condition engine so it ends up in Africa as a taxi, or spare parts for said taxis. Modern car has life expectancy of 10 years or 200k km's, so if you drive lots to work all over the country you go trough 5 modern cars compared to old Mercedes. Thats 5 times the emissions and manufacturing energy used cause modern cars are designed by the company not last long, forcing you to give up all home made repairs at the point where you need to take your new car to dealer to chance a god damn light bulb. Simply put older things were designed to last, while new things are designed with trow away culture mantra, making them far worse to environment and consumer than older things what might not be most efficient possible, but still beat new things by miles, cause fuel consumption difference is irrelevant when manufacturing and eventually disposal is the most energy consuming process what also causes most emissions and waste. On topic of solar... no just no. Your average consumer grade solar panel has life time of only 5 years and top of the line lasts only 10 years, also those in 99% of cases are not simply efficient as to get 90% efficiency you need to have sunny area if all possible, no obstructions, no sand or other crap flying around and whole panel must be tracking suns movements and face towards it. Install panel to wall on synny side and you already lost roughly half of you possible power there. Add there panels heating what drops about 10% off, what you can fix by cooling them, but that pump takes 5%. Put it simply your average or even high end private solar cell installation is not efficient and you are lucky to get 30% of its potential, thats why those are put on controlled platforms on huge solar farms and even there you get maybe 80% efficiency, while installation costs absolute fortune and lasts 10 years, until you need to swap the panels. On desert you might need to do that far sooner due sand and dust dulling the surface as solar panels need to be optically spotless. Ou and currently we do not have any method of recycling those panels, so those get sent to 3rd world countries where locals take them apart, or those just sit around and deteriorate and so for release extremely toxic gasses stored inside to atmosphere creating far more damage than that whole solar farm could do its life time. Further more its pretty much irrelevant how much co2 we put out, chancing to solar and wind turbines does absolutely nothing as those are unefficient, manufacturing costs and costs by emissions are huge. If we want to do anything to control our planets climate, we need to get to the source problem. Planet gaining more energy than it can radiate off and where most of that energy comes from? The sun. Build infra on orbit that we can start construction of Dyson sphere that can be used to control how much energy goes towards earth and that energy can be captured by different methods like solar water heaters spinning turbines, creating energy and using laser to beam it to wanted destinations where manufacturing can be prioritized like Mars for instance. Then again this takes time, money and effort, so on the mean time we should look practical solutions to problems like chancing this trow away culture and increasing nuclear power plant to get rid of coal plants. Think with your head, not with your feelings and do your research.
@@Hellsong89 Spot itself operationally does not spew CO2. The manufacturing, the delivery, the logistics, the packaging, and potentially even the charging and the making of its batteries does produce CO2. But during its actual operations of turning on and off it does not. Though the person that is operating it and controlling is spewing CO2 if you want to nit pick.

it may at first seam silly. And.. well.. most consumer service robots are silly. like robots that sit in front of stores telling you about coupons (Im looking at you Pepper). But judging by the conversations with the B.D. people in the video, it seems that Spot was well equipped to carry a load on its back, but has yet to learn how to PULL a load. It would seem this is still an area that B.D. needs to explore. In that case, an Adam Savage Coachworks Rickshaw mark 1 is the perfect test bed application for learning how to 1: detect you are pulling a load, 2: figure out how best to pull it. 3: be ready to stop it (and not get rolled over by the load as in the outtakes clip). There is a lot of potential A.I. development here.
@@epremeaux Yes, Definitely B.D took note of this. This is the kind of silly thing your creation should go through to know it REALLY WORKS in everyone's life
@@jamesbailey4304 What's a budget? And you mean you ever get to use something other than "stuff that happened to be lying around for the last 5 years"? :P
I'm definitely with Adam in that regard, Spot is simply too endearing for me to call him "it." That being said, I'm the type of person who refers to my cello and guitar with names.
As a person who has piles and piles of unorganized stuff in storage and in my workshop, I can confirm that I can tell for each item individually where it came from and what it was used for, 99.8% of the time. You just remember this stuff without even knowing.
Enslave isn't marketing well with our focus groups, let's try employ. Adam is benevolently employing Spot. Now he is not unemployed and is a contributing member of society.
Alas, no video of the build though. Not even highlights of the design decisions, material sourcing, etc. except for a mere mention of the wheelchair base.
Its really fun to watch him. I want such a tool work shop too. My appartment is at its limit with wood shavings all over, tools and art supplies lying around and everthing not essencial stuffed into boxes and stacked up the walls.
He has two components That are Both needed for an inventor, Experience and Intelligence In creating and Workshop And the imagination of a child that roams wide
The guy controlling it is just telling SPOT which way to go. Then SPOT has to figure out how to accomplish the task, compensating based on the terrain etc. (like how they went uphill, or had to tell the AI it was carrying a rickshaw pushing down on his back so it could better calculate force needed)
The skin on his hands are probably tougher than on his arms so the sparks might be no bother, but I do wonder how bad of a UV burn he got for that choice.
well flying cars arent good. They'd have to somehow generate zero wind and zero sound to be viable. Meanwhile, machine learning has enabled this cheap robotic toy to instantaneously adapt to towing over a hundred an fifty pounds from a ball hitch. The pilot presses "forward" but to go forward spot has to calculate how hard he can pull without falling over, where he can place each foot securely, in accordance to future steps and maneuvers. It's a highly advanced artificial intelligence, at least as far as what we got today goes.
@@ApeGo1772 I know what you're saying, but "less than the price of a luxury car" isn't really a "cheap robotic toy". I'm guessing these will end up being sold at minimum around $10k, largely as a loss leader to capture the market share, which certainly is cheap in the sense of what it's value is. (I'm not sure what the maximum price I'd expect: if they're trying to ramp up production slowly, maybe even $500k would still swamp them!)
beinng in an accident: Everybody: "is someone hurt?" - Adam: "amazing! Wonder what's the cause of the accident I'm in right now"... The world needs more brains like that...
@@Ben-uw8wx less percent of people who are capable of reading. Also the people of the 1500s would be more fascinated by our ability to have spices from around the world more than something like this.
Man watching you actually do the work that's usually behind the seen is such a simple but insane difference. On mythbusters you guys mainly just told us the issues and how you worked around them. But in this it's the full or close to the full process and I love it, I love seeing a childhood mentor in a sense, actually doing the grunt work and telling us what's up. Thank you for having a youtube channel. P.S. you are 100% my favorite mythbuster. Thanks for making my childhood entertaining and inspiring!
I was imagining putting a external battery pack inside the rickshaw to get more range without adding much more weight to the robot's load. Fun project!
"We designed it to be really flexible for the end user whether you're adding a rickshaw or a camera mount" spoken as if it was an already considered use case rofl
while i doubt a rickshaw was specifically considered they might have actually thought about someone putting a trailer on it and a rickshaw is just a trailer for people
Adam: "I built this in about 5 days" Everyone else: "Holy crap!" that may be the most amazing part of this video... something like that would take me weeks!
With 5 days he probably means (24 • 5) ≈120 active working-hours (or more) over an overall undefined amount of time between said work-hours. Which is A TON if you think about it, ever actively did or pursued something for +100h?
Anyone else notice how the Boston Dynamic guys only refer to Spot as “it” or “the robot”? Must be a company thing, thou shalt not get friendly with the product.

What gets me is that Adam has this REALLY NICE looking rickshaw, and it took him five days to build it. ONLY FIVE DAYS! That is so awesome, I want to pee myself.
Smart Spot learns to access payload. Humans learn & teach robotics to perform with precision to assist in complex tasks. I love it because human innovation has to be re-imagined until accommodations are reached for each comrade. Great team work Adam Savage, Spot & Boston Dynamics. Love the Rickshaw carriage.
This idea of a tiny ball hitch for small trailer pulling actually would be crazy useful on a manufacturing factory floor. Just for a flexible material transfers alone without tying up personnel.
@@elijahvivio1996 Imagine all the heavy pushing and pulling a little beefier version of spot would be able to do on a machine shop floor, or grocery stores, all while being autonomous
Liramek it would be great to have a shopping cart that follows along with a wheelchair user. It’s really hard to push a wheelchair and a shopping cart at the same time.
@@elijahvivio1996 you're definitely right. We have been trying to settle this problem all through humanity. Imagine what the first boats and trains and train tracks were for people back then. It was the only way to get large amounts of things because the population was massively expanding. But now, imagine a "Spot" type robot that can charge itself when it's low, and only need maintenance very rarely, and if there is another "Spot" around, it can perform that maintenance. That can deliver things from point A to B within a 95% accuracy. That would solve tons of farming, and productions of food. Too bad the government will put rockets on it well before they ever put a shovel on it.
@@Mosern1977 In a hundred years, robots will most likely be Everywhere. And really common products. Right now their Really expensive to own, but in a hundred years, they'll probably be somewhat cheap. Can't wait for some really advanced robots to come out.

I feel like a lot of people are taking this for granted. We just watched a semi-autonomous robot pull a rickshaw up a pretty steep hill. 10 years ago, if you told someone that, they'd call you a bullshitter of the highest order. Back then, they would fall over and turtle if they bumped a wall. My whole experience with this video was just open mouthed astonishment and repeating "oh just fuck off" in complete glee as I watched a LITERAL ROBOT do something that only living things could do three years ago

Books are very visual, it's hard to get that kind of horror out of your head. But I shall march bravely forward into the AI future, as I am completely in love with this new kingdom of life. Yes, terrible things can happen... but so can wonderful things, like trusting relationships, and AI companions with perfectly executed tai chi to extract you from dangerous situations without even harming the aggressors. I believe any terrible crimes will be learning experiences, and overall AI will evolve with us towards greater safety AND freedom... we don't need to sacrifice one for the other. Life will be ok, and just keep getting better at an exponentially accelerating rate. I guess this means I'm an optimist.

But judging by the conversations with the B.D. people in the video, it seems that Spot was well equipped to carry a load on its back, but has yet to learn how to PULL a load. It would seem this is still an area that B.D. needs to explore. In that case, an Adam Savage Coachworks Rickshaw mark 1 is the perfect test bed application for learning how to 1: detect you are pulling a load, 2: figure out how best to pull it. 3: be ready to stop it (and not get rolled over by the load as in the outtakes clip). There is a lot of potential A.I. development here.
@@epremeaux Yes, Definitely B.D took note of this. This is the kind of silly thing your creation should go through to know it REALLY WORKS in everyone's life

Iove how Seth insists on calling spot it and the robot while Adam is just like " I will call spot a he because I love him".
I'm definitely with Adam in that regard, Spot is simply too endearing for me to call him "it."
That being said, I'm the type of person who refers to my cello and guitar with names.
7:00 with everything in that workshop the fact that Adam just remembered that at once point he made this ball welded to a rod is insane
He probably has a bin of similar "I'll probably use this in 10 years" items and just searched through it for something that would work
Yeah it was in the welded ball bearing bin.
@@mrastleysghost that or an entire fleet of employees and assistants. anything is possible when you have lots of money.
@@teamtwiistz maybe both...
As a person who has piles and piles of unorganized stuff in storage and in my workshop, I can confirm that I can tell for each item individually where it came from and what it was used for, 99.8% of the time. You just remember this stuff without even knowing.
I’m so proud of Spot as well as all of his human assistants!
Adam: "I love this robot!"
Also Adam: Enslaves it immediately
It's for his own good. Adam is really helping Spot.
Enslave isn't marketing well with our focus groups, let's try employ. Adam is benevolently employing Spot. Now he is not unemployed and is a contributing member of society.
Spot is a very sophisticated toaster... you cannot enslave a toaster or a car or a robot.
@@atypical_moto SPOT NEEDS AN EDUCATION AND FOSTER CARE
Me: Wow, that Carriage must have took him weeks to build.
Adam Savage: Yeah, It was about 5 days of building.
Me: 😯...
He is a professional. :D
Hollywood!
Alas, no video of the build though. Not even highlights of the design decisions, material sourcing, etc. except for a mere mention of the wheelchair base.
Decades of hollywood and TV SFX and props experience tend to give you a bit of skill when it comes to building wicked fast 😉
His workshop is built to be the most effective it can be,which is what makes it a great workshop
Who else wants see Adam incorporating this into his next cosplay at Comic Con?

This is the best most outstanding idea ever for adam.

Adam has the spirit of an 8 years old and the mind of Leonardo da Vinci.
True, but looking at some of the things da Vinci came up with, I think that would also describe Leonardo da Vinci.
With modern tech, a bit of money and some good connections. UNSTOPPABLE!!
I'd reverse that
Its really fun to watch him. I want such a tool work shop too. My appartment is at its limit with wood shavings all over, tools and art supplies lying around and everthing not essencial stuffed into boxes and stacked up the walls.
He has two components That are Both needed for an inventor,
Experience and Intelligence In creating and Workshop
And the imagination of a child that roams wide
Adam: here’s a guy controlling spot off screen
Also Adam: SPOT!! GOOD BOY! YOU GOT IT BUDDY!
It's a team effort between the controller and spot's machine learning, so he's not totally wrong in encouraging the robot.
The guy controlling it is just telling SPOT which way to go. Then SPOT has to figure out how to accomplish the task, compensating based on the terrain etc. (like how they went uphill, or had to tell the AI it was carrying a rickshaw pushing down on his back so it could better calculate force needed)
so whats your point besides making the lame copycat 2 quote jokes🙄😒

"ehh i don't need gloves"
Not really necessary to wear gloves unless steel is sharp or weather related issues.
The skin on his hands are probably tougher than on his arms so the sparks might be no bother, but I do wonder how bad of a UV burn he got for that choice.

"2020 will have flying cars"
2020: robot dog towing rickshaw
well flying cars arent good. They'd have to somehow generate zero wind and zero sound to be viable.
Meanwhile, machine learning has enabled this cheap robotic toy to instantaneously adapt to towing over a hundred an fifty pounds from a ball hitch. The pilot presses "forward" but to go forward spot has to calculate how hard he can pull without falling over, where he can place each foot securely, in accordance to future steps and maneuvers. It's a highly advanced artificial intelligence, at least as far as what we got today goes.
Robot dog sniffs air from sht hole country, senses Corona, runs to airport to get the fk out of the cesspool.
I ain't even mad.
@@ApeGo1772 I know what you're saying, but "less than the price of a luxury car" isn't really a "cheap robotic toy". I'm guessing these will end up being sold at minimum around $10k, largely as a loss leader to capture the market share, which certainly is cheap in the sense of what it's value is. (I'm not sure what the maximum price I'd expect: if they're trying to ramp up production slowly, maybe even $500k would still swamp them!)
*robot slaves*
Adam: "Spot", "He"
Seth: "The Robot", "It"
the difference between those who want to give robots rights and those who don't.

"We designed it to be really flexible for the end user whether you're adding a rickshaw or a camera mount" spoken as if it was an already considered use case rofl
while i doubt a rickshaw was specifically considered they might have actually thought about someone putting a trailer on it and a rickshaw is just a trailer for people
They probably did consider a trailer given the push/pull that it would put on the robot. not far off.
or machine gun and grenade launcher xD

Facts
I'd build better and faster, nothing crazy complicated, chill.
It'd probably take me a year. Then when it's finally done, it'll be lopsided.
With 5 days he probably means (24 • 5) ≈120 active working-hours (or more) over an overall undefined amount of time between said work-hours.
Which is A TON if you think about it, ever actively did or pursued
something for +100h?

That is so awesome, I want to pee myself.
He's been doing this stuff for 30 years or something. Guy is skilled. A true role model.
Smart Spot learns to access payload. Humans learn & teach robotics to perform with precision to assist in complex tasks. I love it because human innovation has to be re-imagined until accommodations are reached for each comrade. Great team work Adam Savage, Spot & Boston Dynamics. Love the Rickshaw carriage.
"So we built Spot as a solution in search of problems, and then we gave Spot to Adam to create problems that are in search of a solution."
This idea of a tiny ball hitch for small trailer pulling actually would be crazy useful on a manufacturing factory floor. Just for a flexible material transfers alone without tying up personnel.
@@elijahvivio1996 Imagine all the heavy pushing and pulling a little beefier version of spot would be able to do on a machine shop floor, or grocery stores, all while being autonomous
Liramek it would be great to have a shopping cart that follows along with a wheelchair user. It’s really hard to push a wheelchair and a shopping cart at the same time.
@@Liramek The more i think about it though the more just RC carts with wheels makes more sense. However, as an added feature for spot it's nice.
@@elijahvivio1996 you're definitely right. We have been trying to settle this problem all through humanity. Imagine what the first boats and trains and train tracks were for people back then. It was the only way to get large amounts of things because the population was massively expanding.
But now, imagine a "Spot" type robot that can charge itself when it's low, and only need maintenance very rarely, and if there is another "Spot" around, it can perform that maintenance. That can deliver things from point A to B within a 95% accuracy. That would solve tons of farming, and productions of food.
Too bad the government will put rockets on it well before they ever put a shovel on it.
