Unsettling? I think it’s pretty cool.

The only thing “unsettling” to me is that China, if we’re not careful, may outpace us in AI, drone and robotics tech.

If the robot’s lithium battery catches fire, does it run around like Richard Pryor?

changing the battery isnt really that big a deal. I do not believe the walking is real though. that walk is too good and even to be real with the level of tech we are at today.

So they built a robot specifically to change its own battery instead of hooking up to a charging station.

What can it do that is actually usefule, besides walk around in circles?

nothing new the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab had a robot that wandered the corridors day and night feeding itself from 110V outlets, It could tell the difference between a real outlet and a photocopy (occasionally stuck to the wall by various humorists) It could tell the difference between safe 110 and other voltages and could adjust its feeding plug to different heights. The was in the mid 60’s. The Applied Physics lab is a large complex with a large main building and many corridors. The thing didn’t bump along the walls but maintained a distance from them.

It’s the robot dogs that freak me out. How’d you like to be attacked by one of them?

I want one that will follow a recipe and cook gourmet meals perfectly. No more burnt toast ever again.

LOL!
