Fantastic and kinda spooky vid showcasing Flex Pickers. I didn't know what they were either.

This is why I do controls engineering.

"Self-assembling self-replicating robots"
Poop-Loops said:I am pretty sure that the machines are very gentle. I mean, the muffins and sausages aren't damaged.
If you have a passion for something and you're intelligent, you can end up doing it. If you want to be designing robots or AI though, that sounds like computer science and programming.Poop-Loops said:Sort of off topic, but if I get a bachelors in physics, can I still end up working on robots or AI? I am still really interested in that, but not sure what to do if I want to pursue that further.
Mk said:and you're intelligent
Moonbear said:Seems kind of inefficient to me. I mean, they package those nice yummy chocolate muffins with the boring chocolate chip ones...what a waste.
(I noticed a few sausages escaping earlier in the video too.)

Integral said:Now the vision system that directs those muffin and sausage graping robots must be something to behold. All our vision system does is find a small circle, we have trouble keeping them going reliably. I cannot imagine what it takes to teach a vision system to recognize a bad muffin as different from a good one.
So we're calling him Poop now?Math Is Hard said:Poop, do they have any AI classes at your school?

My money stays on skipped for a reason. Whatever, the end result is still the recycle line.BobG said:I was kind of thinking that, myself. Packaging the chocolate with the chocolate chip ones is okay, but they should program in some imperfections using a Gaussian distribution. A little less perfect robot that sometimes packaged 3 chocolate with one chocolate chip or 3 choc chip with 1 chocolate would be nice. And being able to find a rare all chocolate one or an all chocolate chip one would be a great find!
(And I'm not sure the escaping sausages were flawed, since the escaping ones were always located about the same location on the belt. Edit: Actually, that's not true. Once way over on the left got skipped, too. I think it's because there was no room on the belt the sausages were being placed on. Too many sausages were on the belt in too short of a time.)
Math Is Hard said:Excuse me. Mr. Loops, I meant to say.
Integral said:Be careful, you may get what you ask for. I work with robots, I have a BS in physics. HOWEVER, you do not need a Physics, or any other degree. Most of the people I work with have AA's in electronics.
I think that, for the most part, you would find industrial robots to be pretty boring.
The technology is constantly advancing and evolving, so it is difficult to determine exactly how far advanced it is. However, compared to just a few decades ago, our technology has made significant advancements in various fields such as medicine, communication, and transportation.
Some examples of advanced technology include artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3D printing, and renewable energy sources. These technologies have greatly impacted our daily lives and continue to be developed and improved upon.
Advanced technology has numerous benefits for society, including increased efficiency, improved communication and access to information, better healthcare, and safer and more convenient transportation. It also has the potential to address global issues such as climate change and poverty.
Advancements in technology are the result of the collective efforts of scientists, engineers, researchers, and inventors from various industries and fields. Government funding and support also play a significant role in the advancement of technology.
While advanced technology has many benefits, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider. These include issues with privacy and security, potential job displacement, and ethical concerns surrounding the use of certain technologies.
