apearantly, this thing is real and this is not cgi. If thats true, then.... wow.

[outwarsecrets]

wow, thats a pretty cool robot

[Froglok]

wooooo thats way ace

[slacker]

thats pretty cool

[slacker]

i dont really believe it, it looks too good, of course i dont kno why he would fake it, either way its cool, plus, yd he make it look so much like a car, it looks a little computer generated anyway

[football123213]

Yea, i know, it's hard to tell if it's some really good CG or real. The video quality makes it really hard to tell. The robot in the videos almost looks too clean to be real, but this is just too cool to want to not believe!

[mmbg]

Cool

[djleli]

wow that makes me think that i, robot film can be true and can happen very intresting article

[wassie]

look pretty awsome

[dontmaimyourself]

well if thats real its very cool, even if its fake its still cool, how do I get one

[spawn_syxx9]

Damn, if that is a prototype body armor type system, that is pretty damn cool.

...just to let you know, that was based on a book which was meant to explain the fault of hte three rules of robotics.

Anyway, I doubt it's real, as a real robot would think on it's own and not be programmed, it's pretty hard to imagine it doing that.

Also, it is like a car, notice he says his parts are made from BMW?

[Too_Hot]

lol, yeh something about it just doesnt seem real but if so that is one cool robot anyway if what zenchi says is true then who cares

[neeki4444]

This is fake, there is no way this guy himself mad this all by him self.

It takes a PhD in Computer Science to program the AI to do these things.
It takes a PhD in Electrical Engineering to make the circuits to interface the computer to the Mechanical parts
It takes a PhD in Mechanical Engineering to modify the car.

I have been programming for 6 years and still couldn't even come close to programming the AI.

Maybe he someohow just got it working through pure ingenious.

Nay, if you would have read it, he said he worked on a team before. I -could- probably make something small like that, and he didn't 'modify' the car, he most likely made it from scratch.

Now am starting 2 think its FAKE when i looked at it 1 more time

[truvu17]

That is crazy. Its like a robot in virtual on. What are the wheels for anyway?
I think its a waste of money to invest into a mini-cooper and convert it into a robot, minus well just buy and design metals to build a robot.

[Zenchi]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this robot's purpose is to fix cars, and direct traffic. Kinda like... (What am I searching for...) A Transformer! *theme song starts playing* *shotgun shot is heard* *end music*

But seriously, it does good to read the whole page. (I'm a bit hyper... haven't stayed up til 2am for weeks.) The wheels I'm guessing is so it can actually convert into a car and be from point a to point b without stepping on pedestrians. (Aside form the fact that it's two legs do not walk fast.. at all

[redsky]

This is nice pic. But you know, i do not like bot.

[runix]

has to be fake
Something this extraordinary will surely hit the world news.
But the video looks very real. Maybe part the clips are real.
Like the arm dexterity test. Its a puzzle

[guangdian]

really perceft

[beg4mercy]

It didn't hit world news, but he was on Good Morning America a LONG time ago, but all he had then were sketches and stuff... I slightly remember that..

It's real.. If you go to the mini cooper website, i forget the address, you can "design" your own robot, and If it wasn't real, then Mini-Cooper wouldn't CoSign it.. Don't you agree? And besides which, he had no reason to make that up, he's got a freakin life, as far as I can tell. (If he was joking) He could quit the lil' robot gig for ever and still make a killling as his normal job.

And yeah, he worked on a group of peepz, which means, one of them could have the PhD in Comps, other PhD in mechanics, other PhD in yadda... yeah, and be smart together, but it turns out he just got the credit.. lol Did I make any sense?
