Good luck sleeping after watching this humanoid robot, “risen from the dead”

Humanoid robots become smarter, stronger and even more lifelike. And now you have mastered something thanks to a breakthrough in the AI ​​learning that may only send a shower over your spine – after a fall, regardless of the position or the site. It's almost like raising a robot from the dead.

Sure, it doesn't seem that big for most people. However, if you believe one of the many who could destroy humanity one day, this is probably pretty bad news to hear.

A team of researchers from China and Hong Kong has developed a new framework for artificial intelligence called Humanoid Stehpono (Host), with the bipedal robot quickly, efficiently and fasted to be able to get to the legs smoothly.

A new video demonstrates that the Humanoidrobot in UNTERREE G1 uses the Host framework to come from apparently impossible positions. Regardless of whether you lie flat on your back, have sunk together on a wall, lean back on a chair or spread out on a sofa, the robot adapts methodically before it rises with worrying precision. It is very reminiscent of someone who rises from the dead, a comparison that I am not really excited when it comes to robots.

The researchers have not always made it easy for the machine. They tested his ability to stand on tricky surfaces such as stone roads, glass slopes and even lean against a tree. In every scenario, the robot came up with its surroundings and was successful.

And if that was not impressive (or creepy) enough, the researchers tried to disturb their progress by meeting him and kicking while trying to rise. But not luck. The robot took off the effect, got out of his dead position without any problems and continued to get out. I don't know anything about you, but that definitely gives me Irobot Vibes.

At the center of this disturbing ability is reinforcement learning, a kind of AI that improves through experiments and errors. It is one of the most common types of AI learning that are used in robots, and for good reason – it only works.

The HOST framework was trained with the ISAAC -Gymsimulator from Nvidia, in which the robot learned to get up for successful movements through positive reinforcement. In contrast to previous iterations of humanoid robots, which often recover from falls, this new system gives robotic resilience.

The researchers believe that this technology will help future humanoid robots to navigate unpredictable environments and to make them far more practical for real applications.

Of course, it is an uncanny memory of how far AI and robotics came when a robot rises so smoothly from the dead. It is both exciting and a bit scary to think about it, especially in combination with the fact that some nations already experiment with weapon robots.

Even more reports have shown that the US military turns to the AI ​​to plan and strategy military operations – which consolidates the determination of AI in our world. You can watch the video above.

As with earlier studies in which scientists tried to feel the pain, it makes me a little worries about the effects that this type of technology could have across the board … they know if robots have ever taken control.
