That is CGI as fuck my dude.
They've been working on dynamic robotic movement since the early 2000s. They also have dog and large cat models.
So they say, doesn't change the fact that the 'robots' in this video barely look anymore real than a clip from "avatar".
Correct, I bought it until the back flips.
Either CGI or they took inputs from body sensors and used it to program the robots movement. As in the movements were scripted and not done with AI.
Not CGI. Very real. But - to your point - this is 100% a programmed routine.
While the movement is scripted, the intelegence is in the fine motor balance that happens in real time. That's the impressive part.
Couldn't the fine motor balance be figured out beforehand?
Just look at the 'robot' that comes on screen second, Painfully easy to see that it's computer graphics.
the marks on the soft ground seem pretty well animated then
I'm pretty skeptical cause this does just look like good cgi, I hope for everyone's sake that it is. I also don't necessarily believe that, even if these are real, they are making these decisions based on anything but a script they are designed to follow.
correct, not programmed not happening, go rogue and you can win over and over with the same trick. They don't learn they just responde the same way to predetermined situations.
That's silly.
They have been at this for ~20 years. LOTS of videos out there.
If you don't look at that and see the very obvious CGI, I don't know what to tell you.
I guess you're the type to believe Elon when he says: "you can tell it's real because of how fake it looks!"
