That cracks me up, however, I am a little frightened by the glowing red LED on my DVD player and my phone. All this time I've assumed that it just meant that they were in standby. I never stopped to think that it might mean that by "standby" it means that they are merely standing by awaiting orders from Skynet.
I found this video extremely amusing. He's exactly right, why should we be worrying about fantasy apocalypses (zombies) when the robots are already here? I do wonder if sometime in the future, what will happen when humans back themselves into a corner when they have created technology that is smarter than they are... -Erica
This is a funny video. Its cool that a PHD in Robotics is explaining in simple terms how a robot works. He explains it simple enough so that it sticks. Ill remember some basics just in case I come across a rouge robot. Seems unlikely but then again anything is possible!
As did everyone else, I quite enjoyed this video. It was really silly to watch, but also interesting. I hadn't thought before about some of the points he brought up such as how large robots would require lighter, and therefore weaker, legs. I'm not sure how likely I believe that robot takeover will begin the end. But I do enjoy exploring this idea because it has been around for so long, even before technology came along as far as it has now.
That was a very entertaining video. It was great that the video used a credible source (a Ph.D. in Robotics) for its info, even if it looked at a very hypothetical aspect of the topic. Based on the current state of robotics and its rate of technological progression, I won’t lose any sleep over the possibility of a “robopocalypse.” However, if one does occur, I’ll definitely be more prepared now that I’ve seen this video!
Robots man, can't trust them. Funny stuff, reminded me of a video by of a Robot made my the military to be used as a pack mule. Check it out if ya want

34 seconds in you get to see how well it can stand when someone tries to kick it over. This was 4 years ago by the way. So imagine what they can do now.

very funny video. Hope we never have to be squished by mad robots.

Hilarious video. Now I know how to fight robots. Learn something new everyday
