    Interviewer: Would you like to tell us about how you made a Terminator?

    Creator: Why Yes! I would to explain how this Terminator. First it has to use a human 🧠 to program the Self Learning AI. After that Hot Chocolate for Everyone!

    I’m a bit confused he said it’s controlled by the gloves then why are they using VR controllers too I don’t get it

  17. iAmDickel

    how about bringing them to the Military?

    How awesome would it be when every single job can be done remotely.

    Trash.

    Yes but that robot has an AI that is learning from the human controller. One day Grandma won’t be able to tell the diff. and you will no longer be needed…

    This could be good in bomb disposal or going into irradiated places.

    This would be great for elder care, not having to worry about spreading infections.

    You might have lighter ones for more mobile elderly, to do chores for them around the house, prepare meals, dispense medicines.

    And you have stronger, more heavy duty ones to help the elderly who need more help to move around, get out of bed, bathe, picked up if they fall, etc. (Naturally video would have to be securely restricted and/or blurred for modesty.)

    what if you met a dangerous person and have to defend yourself, will the avatar robot also mimic your moves and hurt someone

    i’m shocked that Apple has no interest in these types of technologies, they clearly have the money and talent. All they care about is how many cameras can they put on an iPhone so we can make better tiktok videos.

    What if a hacker take control of your robot, grab a knife and kill your mother ? I will never have a robot which can be controlled remotely…way too dangerous !

    Imagine killing someone with this robot halfway across the world. It would be impossible to identify the murderer.

    • Alberto Peixoto

      January 7, 2022 at 1:05 pm

      There is always a way to trace back to the computer operating the robot. And the robot would give clues as to who bought it. It’s never impossible.

    As a nurse In a hospital I need one of these assigned to my patient. I need someone turning my patient, watching them to make sure they don’t get out of bed, bringing popsicles to them, giving them warm blankets etc

    If I owned one of these, I would make sure there are stairs between it and my bedroom. Just in case some random hacker feels like choking me in my sleep.

    Way to much money for us to purchase.
