I hope the hosting company has the bills paid up because this is going to be a brutal /. effect.
Site's still up..... Wow, Those robots run a good site :P
I LIKE TOAST!!!
And what did you do there, pray tell? Take off every 'Zig', mayhaps?

Can we have some adjectives? Please? I understand they're doing 'stuff', and I imagine it has to do with robots, but what?
And what's a cowork? Is this some sort of Tolkien/Gary Larson crossover?
deus does not exist but if he does
oh, I an just /love/ the bagpipes.

Pretty cool stuff there! Please use this link instead of the article one to avoid the
Have you metaroderated recently?
So if I'm not mistaken, CMU was showing off the stuff they were doing by showing off the new stuff they were working on in a video that shows the cool stuff they are doing.
Wow, that's the lamest video having anything to do with robotics I've ever seen. I want those minutes of my life back please.
It's kind of like living inside a frat boy.
i am no longer surprised that it has not been slashdotted. Dullest video about robots ever?

I also completely missed what the head on the screen was. Some sort of virtual prototype?

Where were the freakin laser beams?
Where were the robots living on the reservation eating tyres like licorice?
Where was even a large metallic being screaming "Danger Danger Will Robinson" when trying to protect Will from a pederast doctor.
Robots these days, I don't know...
Actually making music with bagpipes might help too....

Do the guy a favor and use the coral link to the movie instead of the normal one....

While filming the segway look-a-like, the filmer says to his cowork (supposedly) 'Why don't you give that a ride?'. Though I can't determine if the focus is on the 'robot' or the biped beside it. Hmm.
What was that (animated head on a video monitor) about, anyway. I WTFV (twice) and still don't get it. AI/voice recognition having conversations with attendees, perhaps?
Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever.
I would comment on it, but I can't see it. anyone got a mirror of it?

Uh, yeah. I like...stuff.
If it weren't for having seen half the stuff on slashdot before, I wouldn't have any idea what the heck any of that stuff was supposed to be about. Much of it has been covered in better detail before here on slashdot, and the interesting bits about each project were entirely ignored. There's even a video of that first robot swimming somewhere. Actually, google for "CMU robot swimming" returns this slashdot story if you're interested.

Someone said the
Been at RI for over a year now. I highly urge anyone interested in the video to apply. You can _easily_ be working on any of those projects if you just apply yourself.
The video only showed a small fraction of what is to be found at RI.
Robo-Blogs of the world: UNITE!
Call me after a few of the teams can get cars out of the parking lot at the starting line.
They built a robot that plays the bagpipes? CMU has the robot thing down, but maybe they should think about adding a robot ethics course.
HA HA. I got the last post beat me GNAA, I own you. go goatsee yourself.
