Singularity - Synthetic Robot With Human Skin - Muscles Shocks The World- UBI

All right, gang, this is going to be a good video today. We're talking about the, the X-Ping robot, I think it's called. Uh, this is supposedly the most realistic moving, walking robot we've seen, I think, to date, right? Um, now the Atlas robot's been very, very impressive. Uh, we've seen it crawl, walk, run, do backflips and such, but the actual physiology of the Atlas robot, even though it's quite impressive with its movement, it's not the jerky robot movement. I don't know if it will be accurate to say it's human-like movement either, right? Uh, in some aspects, yes, but it seems like the, the Atlas robot, right? And if you don't know what the Atlas robot is, we might take a look at it in the video, but it's created by Boston Dynamics. Uh, the Atlas robot, um, you know, I guess because of its form too, you could tell it's a robot, but it's a very impressive robot. But this thing is more at the level of imitating a human being to a degree we've never seen before. So let's just take some looks at how it walks and how it moves as such. Yeah, you can tell that the pacing of the walk, the strides of the walk, this looks realistic, like how a human being would actually walk. You know, it kind of looks like one of those runway catwalk models, right? And that is something I don't think we've ever, you know, to the detail like that, seen a robot do in his movement. He's usually this flat-footed walking, right? Sometimes their feet are flat. And this robot, I mean, it, it's got the internet to the point where people don't even believe, um, you know, basically, uh, this thing is, is an actual robot. They think it's a human being inside a suit. Some people have went as far as to say it's a human being with an amputated, uh, amputated limbs or legs or something like that. But I'm going to show in the video here why I don't think that might be the case, whereas I'm—

I think this might actually be the real deal.

So yeah, it, you know, it's, it's so realistic that, uh, the walking, that people are just like, it's no way, there's got to be a person. It's kind of funny because if you look at this robot, what does it remind you of, right? The suit is wearing everything is— it's almost— I don't know if this is like a dig at at Tesla, you know, the Optimus bot. But if some of you probably remember when they, when they first showed the Tesla Optimus bot, right, Optimus bot, there was a person inside, uh, you know, the Optimus suit. And but in the beginning we weren't sure, but you know, then start doing the wacky dancing and stuff. But this kind of, you know, this kind of reminds you of that, only this time It appears to be the real McCoy. That is Crazy, freakishly crazy how realistic this robot looks, even down to the how the feet move, right? You know, I was trying to look for some type of, uh, uh, and it just looks like a person would walk and act. And this is in 2025, right? So you're looking at the dexterity and the movements of this robot. And there's another reason I believe that I will believe this is real, right? Where some people have been skeptical because, uh, if you've ever been to Universal Studios, there are some advanced animatronics, right, that have amazing dexterity. Now, as far as walking, uh, not so much, but as far as hand movements, shoulder movements, body movements, they have achieved a spectacular amount of advancements. In the movements of these automatons, right? And so it's not totally unbelievable for me. Also, I think that, you know, many of these robot companies, right, that's produced these robots, you have to understand they produce them with the idea for them to serve a function, right? Whatever specifically they're trying to do. So as far as these very, uh, intricate human movements and such, uh, when they, when they think of mobility, they think about moving from point A to B, you know, uh, the elegance of how the robot gets there. I don't think that was just their focus or direction. And so this company obviously is trying to create something that is as close to a human being as possible. And they have this feminine form with it, right?

You know, interesting, interesting.

It's kind of freakish to watch because, uh, I was paying attention to the swing of the arms, right? And so, um, I think I was hearing someone talk about, I think it was some related to an amputee, right, who had had his arms removed. And when you walk, you sway your arms and such. And so your arm and shoulder movement is very important to your balance and your, you know, your movements. And so this robot, I was looking at the arms and the shoulders and it surprisingly moves like a human being would move with those actions. It's not just like walking with hands to the side. It's, you know, it's got the swaying motion and is very harmonious. And this is just amazing work. Also, you know, the Chinese, right, when it comes to research and development, right, the— what goes into Chinese companies and developments, right? And although I haven't been to China, I don't know a whole lot about it, but my basic understanding of it is that it wouldn't have the restraints as American companies. In some cases, funding may not be an issue. You know, this could be funded by the Chinese government and such. And so they're just, they have a great collection of data, availability of citizens and such. So there are many things working for the Chinese that where they could achieve quite a bit in the area of artificial— I'm sorry, of robotics, right?

AI and robotics as such.

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] I guess what's also crazy about this is I'm looking at the amount of control in the movements, right? So this was a human being. This would, this would be an incredibly athletic human being. Um, some of you are familiar with the movie Ex Machina, and in the film Ex Machina, right, there, when they're selecting the cast they need someone who can portray the movement of what would be this artificial being, this robot, in a very— even though it's one of the most advanced humanoid robots, right? The actor has to have a certain amount of athleticism. And the actress who played the role, her name escapes me, Vander— Vander— Vandeker, something Vandeker, right? Uh, she has a background in dance, ballerina and such, and so she was like a natural athlete for the role. But it just goes to show the tremendous amount of athleticism it would even take to walk like this, right? Uh, to be so deliberate and such. Now, I could— for me, I could just kind of create some skepticism. And where, like, the people who think it's a person in a suit, um, like when they're robots walking, right, you're looking at the quadriceps and things like that, right? I have to look again because these could be like, you know, no telling, it could be like artificial kind of fake muscles. But some— it— and it just could be formulated to look like that, you know, create to look like that. But it does, it does kind of felt like, or maybe I was just expecting to see it, right? The deflection of the muscles in the quadriceps, right? And as I'm looking, uh, I kind of see these folds and I'm saying, okay, wow, it is very reminiscent of muscles, right? And, uh, I don't know if that's whatever the fibers or materials that compose this thing. I don't know if that's designed to kind of look and seem that way, or, you know what I mean? But it does create some skepticism, although I'm still pretty much on the side of this is a real robot just from the physicality of it.

That's interesting.

Now it does seem like under the clothing at the back of the knee, you can kind of see like what I would assume to be actuators, right? Things probably has a lot of actuators. But also, although it almost did it flawless, it did seem to be a little jerky action in the shoulder, just a wee bit. And that's what I would expect from an actual machine. So that's also convincing me that this thing is 100% real, but almost flawless, almost flawless. And it's only 2025, guys. So just think about, oh my goodness, what this could be like in 5, 10 years.

But super impressive at this point.

Okay, he does say— he does say it has skin, muscle, and bone, right? So that would kind of explain why it's at certain points it seemed like it's flexing muscles under the— when it moves under the clothing, right? Uh, but you know, they— I don't know, I wonder how much time and years they put into this because This seems like it went through a lot of research, development, long thought process, doesn't it? Right. Interesting. Interesting. I guess this is another important part of the video, how it's standing there. And while he's cutting, you know, he's cutting to let us see that, hey, this is a real robot. It's not— there's not a human underneath this thing. Sorry about the disturbance, notifications, guys. Um, but, um, it seems like, um, as he's standing there— that's another thing, when, when you don't move your muscles right, it becomes harder and harder not to, um, you know, not to fidget or move and stuff like that. That takes a lot of muscle control. And that's another thing that will kind of, uh, take away the human— this is a human being type of, uh, uh, you know, explanation, right? Yeah, interesting enough, under the clothing, from what I can see so far, it kind of looks like a prosthetic limb, right? Looks like, you know, what they— they're giving a lot of human beings, amputees, uh, these prosthetic limbs. Um, so a little bit different from a lot of, you know, what we see in these robots, which is like usually you kind of see the tendons, or you can just see the actual, uh, rods and, and, and and so on, whereas this thing is more like an actual leg, like an amputee prosthetic limb. I think there is a video too of it, um, walking without no skin on or muscle or whatnot. It's just down to like the metal skeletal frame. And I think I saw a clip of it on Instagram. It looks so— it, it even looks more weird when it walks like that because it still has this very human-like walk to it and it's kind of swing action. But you see this, it's a— it, it feels almost like an AI video if I'm, you know, if I'm honest. But, uh, there, there is a video out there like that. Okay, I'm gonna speed it up a little bit. I want to see how— what this thing looks like. Let's see what it looks like at the end here. All right, what is that?

Okay, hold on, go back.

Oh wow. So now, so as you can see, once the muscle and the skin and the muscles comes off, then you do get that more how we're accustomed to seeing these robots without, you know, without their, uh, you know, anything on them, like the bare bone, right? Because he's like rods and actuators and such. Um, now this— the skeptics, you know, at this point, this is where they would have went, oh, it's an amputated leg, you know, a person's a human being standing. But I think, I think we can pretty much, uh, at this point, uh, conclude that If this was a human, right, an amputee human, uh, it's— they would not be able to stand there like that with that, a means of control, right? You know, their legs would be getting tired, they have to fidget a little bit. And then you look at the arms and the hands, they're not moving at all, right? So it's just too much going on here for it to, you know, for now, unless this entire video was a, you know, like a AI video or something.

So he said it doesn't need any more proof.

I don't know if everybody's convinced, but I mean, that did look pretty darn convincing. Also, I would imagine, you know, how long could you keep up a charade like this? Um, you know, some tech magazine, somebody's going to want to see this thing up close and personal and they're going to be able to find out, you know. So it's probably more than likely, I'd say, I'd say at least 95% is an actual robot. And that even makes things more scary, you know, when it comes down to, you know, people saying things like, well, you know, we're never going to have— they're going to have a robot with the dexterity level to perform certain tasks and move certain ways. you know, moving certain environments and such. And I think this is showing that, if anything, this is showing proof that we're going to probably end up with not those like robots that we see on TV where, you know, they're, they're the Terminator moving. Because if it— and that's the kind of funny thing about like even the Terminator movies, right? Remember, remember Arnold Schwarzenegger? He was supposed to move in a robotic sense, in a very emotionless sense. But these robots that are actually— we're going to be actually creating here, many of them might be able to just move like a normal human would, you know. And so that's going to open up other areas because if you could be dexterous in a human environment, there's going to be really nothing off limits for you. You know, remember, this is 2025, right? 2030, 2035, that's an entire decade from now, which is not a long time. You're going to, you know, you're going to see some amazing breakthroughs in robotics and AI. And I can only say, guys, that that's going to be even more rough on the job market, right? For those who are disbelievers, who still think these robots and this technology or parlor tricks. And then imagine a robot that can move like that, like a human. And then he has these language models and he has the IQs of starting out, super IQs. He's smarter than Albert Einstein on day one of creation. And so now you got this thing that is identical to a human, that's smarter than a human. And, you know, how do you compete? With that. You can't. You have to find other alternatives. Humans have overestimated their abilities, you know, which we tend to do. I think it's a very human thing to overestimate what you are and what you can do. And, and when we get to stages like this, what we're going to see with robotics, I think that's going to really bring it home for a lot of people. But anyway, that's all I want to say in the video, guys. Tell me what you think about this robot. Is it from Xpeng?
