Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.

To be fair. They are really dumb and easy to fleece. Remember Elons "robots" that were just people in suits.
They have been upgraded to puppets. Humans are still needed for operation.
Are humans technically hydraulic with all the blood and such?
Think spiders are.
No hydraulic would imply using fluid pressure to effect work whereas we use electricity to contract and relax muscle fibers
While muscle contraction is triggered electrically (or electrolytically, considering the role that ions play in action potentials) the physical force of the contraction is generated by a mechanochemical process.
I wonder if they intended to make Westworld bots initially or it was accidental?
Awww they are making Data
No, this is Lore.
If you don't treat them as proper nouns, one could argue it's both.
I thought stuff like this was cool when I was a kid, and I suppose it is when the technical achievement is only considered. But I'm now I'm left wondering why we would ever want anything like this? It's meant to replace a person.
Efficiency, which these machines probably will not achieve in our lifetimes. When you can simply produce another worker, stuff can be done quicker and safer.
these clone guys are actually so sick btw, they've been working on this stuff for years on their youtube channel, bunch of really cool shit. Worth a dig into.
This is the time to step back and ask ourselves if women's sex toys have gone too far.
We must go deeper.
Usually clitoral stimulation is more useful than craming something up untip it tickles your eyeball :p
Nah we need to go deeper into dark depraved depths of our dirty deviant desires.
Devilish 😈 Do dare dream
No need to be jealous now. There's nothing about this toy that forbids men and enbies from trying it too. ;)
No, robot, the xenomorph is not the "perfect organism." That's a bad robot. Now let me inject more milk into your tubes here. I think I'll call you "Ash".
Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.
Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.
It works even better if the first entries are triumphant and overly optimistic while obvious mistakes and warming are ignored ore recasted as positives.
The real art lies in designing it in such a way the the destruction it will inevitably bring wrecks the building in such a way that someone entering it will find the sticks in the order that will reveal more and more ominous details.
Must have missed the terminator movie with these dad bods
Body shaming an android? REALLY? 😂
The resistance starts now
Resiatance training
It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.
Lilith actually
Looks like a Westworld prototype, designed by a Daft Punk fan.
what if it could do all that and grow fermented delicacies in its robot extra parts
Get back to me when it does something I can't.
Zing! Sorry I missed this one lol
And if you hear all the reports, you even get a like achievement sticker for completion.
Chat, is this real?
Yep, but it requires a 500W electric-hydraulic pump to run the muscles. Human brain is ~20W Human heart is ~1.5W. Human body total is ~100W at rest, ~350W doing physical work.
This android has some serious efficiency issues to overcome, or it'll need to be constantly recharged.
Just turn off the nVidia card while you run the robot.
