    Google's bipedal robot reveals the future of manual labor

    Drip drip drip....

    I'm not even going to argue for this chit anymore. Tired of the ostriches with their heads in the sand (and history). I'll just post new stuff as I find it, and people can, perhaps, think for themselves.

    But too much obfuscating derp earns a TB (as long as TB lasts before someone whines about it cramping their style).

    Google recently put up its Boston Dynamics robotics unit up for sale, but that doesn't mean that the company is getting out of the automaton business.

    A new bipedal robot from Google's Schaft robotics was shown off on Friday at the New Economic Summit conference in Tokyo, Japan on Friday.

    The small robot is shown walking in a number of situations that can be challenging even for humans, including a sandy beach, a rocky terrain, snow, and a steep, narrow staircase.




    At one point during the demonstration video (top of page), we even see how the robot handles random, rolling obstacles thrown under its "feet." Spoiler: It handles the surprise instability better than many humans might.

    Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.

    When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.

    Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

    ............Oh, what fresh hell is this?

    ....... Not my circus, not my monkeys

    You are an advocate of one side of this issue. Ignore the other side as you wish.
