bad news for basketball-americans

haha AI and robots will never replace trad----

It’s over for the niggaballers, two more years.

should we infere then it's a nigger robot ?
do we really need more niggers ?

>>108611264
He kneels like a pure-blooded japanese tough

i cant seen this working at actual real player running speed, just imagine the inertia of the whole thing trying to come to stop while its feet are literally wheels and the center of mass is probably around the chest, such a stupid design

>>108611318
The main issue would be slipping

>>108611225
how does a robot miss a simple shot like that?

>>108611225
That's dogshit.
Also, basketball is not a serious sport.

>>108611225
So after they're done making robots play sports and dance they'll make ones that can cook and clean right?

>>108611225
I would say it's traveling by palming the ball, but literally every NBA player the last 45+ years has done that 100% of the time. Nobody has been able to properly dribble since maybe the 70s, probably the 60s at the latest.

>>108611225
What is the point of this? It's by default too dangerous for teamplay, robots have too much force.

>>108611318
>>108611428
Finally a reason to watch basketball.

>>108611225
Cool so when can it take a single point off a middle school girls team?

>>108611225
this is so stupid and useless
also slow like hek
who would watch a basketball match no one plays?
who would care for AI bots that run and behave the same?
let alone buy tickets or fund it...

>>108611225

>>108611428
To put Jamal out of a job. The players have been asking for too much money.

>>108611380
The clancker isn't nigger enough.

What they should do is start a robo NBA league and just let everyone compete with some sort of buy in. The better design would just win.

>>108611428
>>108611472
Giga retards. The point is not playing basketball. It's to make a robot that can emulate human movements more accurately. The basketball part is just the theme for the techdemo.

I would actually watch sports if it became an engineering competition between countries using robots.
Bonus points if they made all the robots cute girls

>>108611472
The idea is to save money by not paying players millions of dollars.

>>108611523
Look at it, it's specifically built for basketball, it's not just a theme. What a waste of resources.

>>108611404
yeah they seem to have weird priorities
remember the tesla bots that should've seen limited production runs at the end of 2025?
or that scandinavian bot with the whole body sock gear?
never heard of that one again either...

>>108611776
no you guys are just short sighted and don't understand that these are designed to showcase one specific aspect while advancing their research.

I was promised a much cooler future

This is amazing. Aren't nips very bad at basketball? I don't think we have ever seen a nip playing in the NBA.

>>108612073
huh? yao ming is in the top 150 basketball players of all time.

Cool

But mostly that was because I thought the girl players were hot

>>108611755
no its not retard. if you want to develop a humanoid robot, it needs to be able to do every motion a human can. therefore, training it to do literally anything a human can do is essentially just as good as anything else. only its hand tool was specifically designed to hold the basketball, which can easily be swapped.

>>108611225
finally they made the niggabot

>>108611225
i would actually watch sports if they were played by robots

I can only hope the NBA can be killed off.

>>108611225
why isn't it walking around with the ball? They did the ball thing years ago with normal industry robots. Also funny head wiggle.

>>108611225
well i'll be... mechanical niggers to work on my cotton farm!

>>108611225
japs can't into bipedals anymore

A robot-only league would actually save it.
Current basketball is pretty dire to watch from all the min-maxing and meta-gaming.

>>108611225

>what is the point of this
Its just a demonstration. Really Japan is falling behind on humanoid robotics and AI real fast. US > China >>>>>>>>> Japan > Korea >>>>>> Europe

>>108611225
It'd be cool in the future where different companies make different robots to compete against each other in sportsball

BLACK ROBOT
NIGGER IN DISGUISE

>>108611225
Except it isn't playing basketball; it's throwing a ball.

>>108611225
Why is Japan like 30 years behind their neighbors now?
WTF went so wrong?

>>108611225
You just know that in a week or two some chinese company is going to shit out a basketball robot that doesn't need wheels or weird net hands just to dunk on the japanese.

>>108611225
If they make it black, Americans would watch it

>>108614300
Oh wait nevermind that happened last year.

Sports are not serious pursuits. They are leisure activities, and nobody should care about doing them professionally.

>>108611225
There's not much of a game to play if the robot just fucking dunks it from the other side of the field.

that robot just made me realise how beautiful the human form is and how complex things we do and take for granted are.
>>108613642
the funny thing is that euros dont even need to bother, they will rip the benefits and make everyone comply with their regulations later.

>>108611225
Genuinely though, why wheels for feet. Far less stable, and also precludes dunking the ball? Like you have to account for so much more on most of the actions involved with basketball, just to avoid having to make the robot run with normal feet, which is not that hard to do and has been done by lots of robotics corps at this point.

>>108611310
Kneegro?

>>108611225
But can it dunk?

>>108614956
Europe is walking into third worldism with the mass migration experiment. So eventually we'll split off on civilization trajectory. The question then is would China babysit Europe or will China fuck off on their own trajectory to space and leave the Euros behind

Did the US ever make any humanoid robots that aren't remotely operated by Indians?
>muh big data!!!

>>108611318
Japan 15 years ago created advanced cute robots and female robots that could walk and even dance, now they create handicapped animals (deers or whatever like from fantasy book for women) and black men playing basketball. Really makes you think.

>>108615639
people kept on calling them "honorary aryans" so now the jews are giving them the white person treatment (extinction)

>>108611225
...that's it? some awkward slow movements and missed shots?

>>108615616
No one has that right now, except in some labs that can do some small stuff in limited time period, but US is leading due there being many leading edge robot companies that has serious financial backings and long lasting presence. China's 2nd due to sheer number of robotic companies being experimented at prototype level.

>>108615680
show some respect, they had to sponsor 300 Indian PhD graduates to make that kind of poo-rogress

>>108614981
technology demo to display their capabilities in various aspects that normies will not understand or care about. the organizations that do care pay attention though.

>>108614981
also wheels don't prevent you from dunking. wheels are just feet that spin. you can stop them from spinning and use them as regular feet, you can spring load yourself and launch straight up if you want. robots aren't limited to human motions.

Why can't china just import them like the rest of the world? Seems less complicated than building a whole ass robonig.

>>108616464
sure but feet are still better for that. much more surface area for the lead up, stop, and landing. the materials that make good wheels don't really overlap with the materials that make feet good either. this thing just seems like it would only really be good for three pointers, and even then you would have to put in a lot of resources on tracking, resources you could save by just having it stand straight on two feet being almost entirely stationary at a given time versus potentially wiggling at a key moment, throwing off the shot.

>>108617438
anon... the end goal isn't basketball playing robots. this is just them showing off their robots for other industries that are interested in using robots.

>>108611225
>can't even stand behind the free-throw line

Worthless piece of jap trash.

yeah well if i was a head of some company in those other industries i'd look at this and say toyota robot designers must be retarded so we shouldn't consider them for our automation solutions.
you should design COMPLETELY around the actual problem at hand.

>>108612180
It didn't even walk.

>>108617463
What exactly did it do that other robots have not already done better?

>>108617649
live calculations of throwing an object to another point in 3d space (a basketball into a hoop) while factoring in the makeup of that object (a hollow hoop) and the current location and position of the robot. this is applicable to grenades, firefighting, crowd control, rescue, etc etc.

>>108617975
That was already done by other robots. Unitree G1 did basketball, table tennis, and a few other games.

>>108611225
>wheels

>>108617984
unitree is chinese though

>>108617999
And?
I asked
>What exactly did it do that other robots have not already done better?
Why would investors invest in this when other robots are already doing better?

>>108618009
again, the unitree one is chinese. it's illegal to invest in them in a majority of countries. also if you actually watched the unitree videos it's clearly not actually real. it's just repeating pre-recorded motions and it does even that poorly.

>>108618029
Lol. Lmao.
This one didn't even show it move from it's standing point to the throwing position. The G1 played against a human and another robot.

>>108618053
holy fuck you probably think the chinese actors in martial arts movies are really fighting and not just doing choreographed moves. you're not worth conversing with.

>>108618068
>actors
>movies
This isn't reddit. You don't have to compare everything to jewllywood.
This video didn't even show the robot moving/walking/rolling. And it's still much slower than the G1.
They didn't even let it move to an arbitrary position to shoot. They deliberately put it directly in front of the hoop so that their pre-calculated movements let it score a basket.
The second time where it was shifted to another position, it missed.

>>108618009
Unitree G1 movements are erratic, not refined, not precise, not repeatable.
Toyota CUE7 movements perfectly encapsulate Japanese methodology. They are calculated. They are precise. They are smooth. They are perfect.

>>108618133
yep that guy doesn't understand that toyota and the japanese culture including anime is the peak of humanity. he thinks investors would skip investing in this.

>>108618097
ahhhh the tech demo robot missed a shot!!1!! if only there weren't hundreds of videos of russian soldiers missing grenade throws as well. it's a tech demo that will be improved on. this is like the 6th version of basketball robot they've made and the first few they made couldnt even move but this one can
