NERV Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 here it is, righ tin the article: " The external appearance of HRP-2 was designed by Mr. Yutaka Izubuchi, a mechanical animation designer famous for his robots that appear in Japanese anime, including the well-known "Pat labor." Mr. Izubuchi also named HRP-2 "Promet." " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Awesome. Cooler design than usual. This thing needs to be programmes to say "You now have 20 seconds to comply." Though this should be in the super science thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghadrack Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Please combine this with the robot that uses biological muscle on the front page of CNN and the robots they built a month or two ago that independently fuel themselves by burning biological material (flies) and you will have the stage one terminator, bent on burning humans for fuel to rebuild itself, bigger faster, more efficient so it can burn more people and build bigger robots We are working our way towards serving the machine gods, I often wonder aloud which implement of destruction will we ultimately choose to end ourselves.

Stamen0083 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Unimpressive. The movement is awkward and slow, the control system is jerky. This is almost amateurist. I saw the ASIMO and I thought "This is great. They're going somewhere." I see this and I think "Undergrad work?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Screw the movement, we don't care, it looks BETTER! Get someone who kknnnoooowssss what the robot fan would like to see in a robot for looks, I think this thing looks better than Asimo OR Qrio or wha ever that SONY midget is called lol.
