Lots of commments on military applications, but bipedal robots are inferior to wheel vehicles, planes, and aerial drones, in terms of speed and maneuverability. Everyone's so afraid of Terminators hunting them down, when in reality, mostly invisible , and mostly silent, Predator drones from a mile away that will kill you with precisely targeted missiles should be your real fear. Or commercial quad-copters carrying an…

IIRC the humanoid Terminators in the movie are infiltrator units. Skynet will definitely have more conventional aircrafts and wheeled vehicles to hunt us down.

You can run a solve on animation to accommodate physical artifacts like vibrations and other weights. Disney have a paper on this for their robotics: https://youtu.be/Z1jgaEO9aRs Though of course Disney have very different constraints, however it does illustrate that you can map from mocap to robotics motions by running solves and reversing out the artifacts. Those can be encoded into timed poses and combine that wit…

It won’t work for standing robots because those need to adjust for dynamic variables or they will fall down with the first tiny gust of wind (or floor micro-shake) Disney animatronics don’t have this problem because they are attached to the ground.

hyundai (Korea) bought the controlling stake for $1b+ a week or so ago. How long until this is incorporated into a kpop performance? What year in the '20s will see a popular group made up in part/whole of dancing robots?
