Humodour Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://www.physorg.com/news125321581.html [...] This trial-and-error learning approach was tested by making the COSPAL robot complete a shape-sorting puzzle, but without telling it what it had to do. As it tried to fit pegs into holes it gradually learnt what would fit where, allowing it to complete the puzzle more quickly and accurately each time.
Hell Kitty Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Did you see this in the news recently? The way the legs move reminds me of the metal gears out of MGS4. Edited March 22, 2008 by Hell Kitty
Xard Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 That's one helluva freaky robot How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Kaftan Barlast Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Both are cool breakthroughs but the "dog" is more WHOAH! I mean, 5 years ago, they could barely get a robot to walk slowly over a plane surface without falling over every 10 seconds (slight exxageration) DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

I wonder what powers it. Centre of gravity algorithms perhaps? This robot is similarly awesome. Instead of being taught how to walk it learns by itself - with no human input. And when you break off one of its legs, it learns a new method of walking. Again, it relies on optimisation (competition and selection - similar to an evolutionary algorithm).

Humodour Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Oh, the reference to Skynet was just to garner interest. The thread has very little to do with Skynet, really... well aside from the fact that Skynet was supposed to also be a neural net.

taks Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 clearly that thing has a sense of balance, i.e. it can sense the vector towards which it is falling and place a leg appropriately to stop or stem the rate of the fall. most previous walking demonstrations i've seen only work on flat surfaces without anything impeding the direction of travel. this is a hella breakthrough, IMO. taks comrade taks... just because.
Gfted1 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hehe, they look like miniature walkers from The Empire Strikes Back. The video was awesome. I was really impressed with the kick and ice recovery along with the jumping over the obstacle. It also makes a kinda creepy noise when moving for some nice bonus points.
