Real Life Robot Discussion Thread

[Jasonsith]

A Thread dedicated to discuss real life humanoid / animaloid / giant fighting robots, including but not limited to:

Boston Dynamics
MegaBots Inc
Suidobashi Heavy Industry
Tesla Inc
Sony Group Corporation
Honda Motor Company Limited
Chinese National University of Defense Technology in Changsha
Ubtech Robotics
etc. ...
Any company that actually makes real life humanoid / animaloid / giant fighting robots.

Feel free to discuss.

In fact I am going to make a profile for some real life robots such that it may be useful in power scaling for other fictional robots.

Important update (pending evaluation)

Draft statistics standing blog for Spot and Atlas of Boston Dynamics. (pending evaluation before drafting draft profiles)

Draft Profile For Atlas And Spot

Yo just found this thread, can we also discuss other real life tech here that could eventually be profiled even if it's not robots?

Sure. Just...

This thread is primarily about robotics and robots.

The applicability of real life robots to fictional robot scalings itself is worth a lot of discussions.

 

[Dalesean027]

Okay and if you're already working on spot and atlas I assume you have abilities listed already?

 

[Dalesean027]

Something like how spot(I think maybe atlas too) can map out 3d space to learn a interior and transfer that data

 

[Jasonsith]

Well I will try to draft a profile for Spot and Atlas say coming Saturday like they are robots first. Actually they are functioning like drone planes and copters now so maybe that is the direction.

Also, now we have a rough idea the density of metallic robots are actually very... loose. Like 11.1763358% or 11.5289016% material volume to occupying volume ratio.

 

[Dalesean027]

maybe that is the direction.

Seems so honestly though they'd inevitably become more autonomous in their functions and require less manual input as time goes on

 

[Dalesean027]

I think a good way to observe some of these in practical use would be to look at footage from the DARPA subterrainian robot challenge as it reveals a some of the strengths and weaknesses of them in operation. That's ofc moreso for things unrelating to hardware and material of the robots and rather the current performance and abilities

Also, now we have a rough idea the density of metallic robots are actually very... loose. Like 11.1763358% or 11.5289016% material volume to occupying volume ratio.

is this something that'd have an effect on your calc's posted above or did you find that out while doing those calcs

We shall look into that later.

I made those calcs already.

Now we may discuss would this have any effect on calculation of robot models material density from the volume it occupies. Since the values we pick currently are quite from place to place.

I have little calc knowledge from only doing a few clacs none involving anything like this so I probably won't be of much help in determining that

 

[Armorchompy]

So hold on, say I'm trying to calculate the weight of a robot, assuming I have their volume, using these guys, what would be the rough "density" of a robot?

 

[Dalesean027]

With this I'd assume so

Also, now we have a rough idea the density of metallic robots are actually very... loose. Like 11.1763358% or 11.5289016% material volume to occupying volume ratio.

Though ofc this is in terms of metallic robots

 

[Armorchompy]

I mean, even then the material varies. I guess I could downscale the volume of a human for the humanoid ones.

 

[Dalesean027]

Probably and I don't see things like size mattering since you should be able to scale it accordingly considering it maintains an over human form

 

[Jasonsith]

So hold on, say I'm trying to calculate the weight of a robot, assuming I have their volume, using these guys, what would be the rough "density" of a robot?

11.1763358% to 11.5289016% for metallic substances
31.5980174% to 32.5948003% for organic substances

Draft Profile For Atlas And Spot

That's not what I meant. I meant like, the rough "specific weight" of a real life robot. Which I did calculate and ended up at roughly 2 g/cc

Your calculation of 2 g / cc?

If you want density be presented this way, I can add a row for such on Spot.

Dunno if it should be presented as an official stat but it would be something handy to use at times

For me, when calculating robot-related data, material occupation % (as one minus hollowness %) seems more practical.

I notice this as now we have a robot with a calculable material occupation %, and, yes you are right this data can get handy in calculating robot-related feats.

 

[Armorchompy]

For me, when calculating robot-related data, material occupation % (as one minus hollowness %) seems more practical.

That doesn't say anything directly though, and since robots aren't made of one unified material it's impossible to derive weight from that. Obviously my "specific weight" calculation is a fairly rough assumption but it at least tells us what the weight of a robot per the volume their body occupies is.

First Atlas (Boston Dynamics), then TeslaBot, now CyberOne aka "Tie-da" (鐵大) (Xiaomi).

 

[Dalesean027]

Nice, is there video of it or was it just the announcement with the details given here?

One CG video was out. Likely not shot with a real robot.
Another video was out - shown with apparently a real robot shown talking with a host with simple interactions. (I personally expect some BigDog prank or some Boston Dynamics dance or acrobatics tho)

Development seems faster for CyberOne than TeslaBot surprisingly, but what promised in TeslaBot and other technologies already appearing in Tesla and SpaceX are still very promising.

 

[Dalesean027]

Tesla Inc

 

[Jasonsith]

Oh my...

Still a lot of catch up to do, esp. Atlas and CyberOne has launched their more versatile prototypes.

Yeah it's pretty damn bad rn in comparison to those who've actually done some real innovating ALSO really? I've been waiting to hear about Atlas updates on the Boston Dynamics youtube channel and it's been pretty quiet there, got any links for both?

 

[Dalesean027]

Bump

 

[Jasonsith]

Old news but seems like a moving and functional TeslaBot was produced and has been under test since then.

 

[Lacku]

couple good durability feats here

 

[Dalesean027]

lol that was a fake video made by corridor crew you should check them out

 

[Jasonsith]

Atlas is telling Optimus and CyberOne who is the real boss pal

 

[Dalesean027]

Bumpity, still producing the atlas profile?

 

[Dalesean027]

Disappointed that for a good while now we've no been seeing much of Atlas

 

[Dalesean027]

Fyi the old atlas was discontinued and a new Model had now been made

 

[Jasonsith]

is it just me or did I count only 9
