AI Thread Summary
Humanoid robots are often perceived as lacking true intelligence, as their design does not necessarily address practical needs. While models like Asimo showcase impressive capabilities, they do not solve significant real-world problems compared to specialized robots. The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the intelligence of the robots and that of their creators. There is skepticism about the necessity of humanoid robots when more effective solutions exist for tasks that are dangerous or tedious. Ultimately, the conversation questions the value and purpose of developing humanoid robots in the current technological landscape.

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.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
