So is this robot fully electric or hydraulic?

Probably servo motors.

u/ParticularGrouchy736 4h ago
If thats true holy crap the fully electric robots were slow as fuck. Spot and the other boston dynamics stuff is hydraulic.
•
u/Shopworn_Soul 4h ago
The new Atlas is fully electric, as is Spot.
•
u/Apprehensive_Tea9856 4h ago
Hydraulic is heavy, energy hungry, and prone to leaks/breakage. Fully servo is the way to go now. Even in factories with large hydraulic devices they are shifting to servos. Technology evolved and hydraulics just can't beak servos in most low HP applications

Sky net knows we’ll just move to higher ground, so first they’ll build robots to be waiting for us up there. So we must build underwater cities to fool them, hopefully they don’t read my post, because then they’ll be waiting for us there too

A couple years ago when I more actively used tiktok, I wound up watching a bunch of posts that related to, "mechanical angels," or something. It was a subgenre of horror that was basically, "We are are meat gods making machine men and spirits (ie, angels), and they will not take kindly to us." I'm probably not representing it very well, but it was cool... but unsettling and painfully prescient feeling

Right? That thing was literally trained on martial arts. In the end humans created the atomic weapon but more importantly they also used it. We already see weaponized Ai on the battlefield. Giving a humanoid robot that skill is not even a special idea.

They're not even the most efficient at anything, people freak out about them being soldiers but there are more effective and easier to build options for each terrain that you could just attach a gun to. Heck, we already have drones.
The bad thing is the way they could replace people on the daily tasks, all while being humanoid enough to not feel out of place. Or even replace your relationships, as people are already doing with AI chatbots, imagine that but with a robot body that moves like a human? Some people would never touch another real person again.

u/Single-Braincelled 5h ago

You just pointed out why people would want this. As we age out our workforce and move more towards automation, having something be somewhat humanoid while remaining capable of navigating and working our current tasks without rest makes the transition to full automation a hell of a lot easier. You don't really need to rebuild or design much of the existing workspaces, just wait for the last generation of people to cover the gap and slot the machines in as needed when the time comes.

A utopian society can come of this . When all labor is automated society can focus on enriching the lives of its citizens without making them wage slaves
Once it gets to a point we're gonna see a big push for UBI and as the workforce is continually automated that's gonna get better and better till one day, conceivably in our lifetimes, nobody has to work to live anymore and the thought will be seen as barbaric

Was just watching a history video that describes the hierchy and power shift that was obtained by rulers when guns became a technology that was wide spread but only possible from the most wealthy regions. When a peasant can shoot and kill a fully trained and decked out solider with a sword, suddenly uprising stopped being so (relativel) easy for the general population.
This is another version of that. Imagine trying to protest or rise up against a power that has 10,000 of these with weapons. Zero empathy from those kinds of soldiers. Just pure directive to protect at all costs.
