SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effectiveness and necessity of humanoid robots, with a focus on their intelligence and practical applications. Participants express skepticism about the value of humanoid designs, citing that existing robots are already capable of performing tasks that are dirty, tedious, or dangerous. While examples like Asimo demonstrate advanced capabilities, the conversation questions whether these robots truly solve real-world problems or if their perceived cleverness stems from their creators' innovations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of humanoid robotics design principles
  • Familiarity with robotics applications in hazardous environments
  • Knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts
  • Awareness of current humanoid robots like Asimo and their functionalities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the practical applications of non-humanoid robots in industrial settings
  • Explore advancements in artificial intelligence that enhance robot capabilities
  • Investigate the limitations of humanoid robots in performing complex tasks
  • Examine case studies of successful robotic implementations in hazardous environments
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for robotics engineers, AI researchers, and anyone interested in the practical implications of humanoid versus non-humanoid robot designs.

Just curious,...

what are some of the smartestes robot, humanoid on earth?

I'd say humanoid robots aren't vvery clever at all, and I'm referring to the designers trying to create something we don't really need.

We already have robots designed to do stuff that is either too filthy, tedious or dangerous. Having a humanoid structure doesn't exactly help digging through smelly clogged pipes, assembling cars, or moving radioactive material, etc.

Sure, it's cool with Asimo or whatever being able to shake people's hands and stuff, but does it solve any problems?

Sorry for the rant, I know you were really asking for a list of clever bots, not my opinion :blushing:
 
I think we need to be careful about the use of the word "clever" (or "smart") in this situation, and question whether it's the robot which is being clever, or its creators.
 

Thread 'Hydraulic Cylinder Held In Place Until Needed'

I have encountered a vertically oriented hydraulic cylinder that is designed to actuate and slice heavy cabling into sections with a blade. The cylinder is quite small (around 1.5 inches in diameter) and has an equally small stroke. The cylinder is single acting (i.e. it is pressurized from the bottom, and vented to atmosphere with a spring return, roughly 200lbs of force on the spring). The system operates at roughly 2500 psi. Interestingly, the cylinder has a pin that passes through its...
