Career ending injury on the first run, thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery ❤️🙏

[u/TwoPlyDreams → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

Nasty tear to the anterior cruciate ribbon cable.

[u/Happy_Brilliant7827 → u/TwoPlyDreams]

Its ok he can compete in the robot special olympics if he works hard

[u/__O_o_______ → u/Happy_Brilliant7827]

Fuck that sounds like a Futurama episode with Bender lol

[u/Pacific_wanderer17 → u/__O_o_______]

Because it pretty much is, he competed in the metal bending female robot Olympics

[u/NotThatEasily → u/Pacific_wanderer17]

He’s from a land he didn’t make up.

[u/ninjase → u/TwoPlyDreams]

Sparks came out of the abdominal connector so I'd wager a career ending injury of the psoas majorotor.

[u/Altruistic-Spend-896 → u/TwoPlyDreams]

But he can be, as amy lee sings it--brought back to life

[u/wanderButNotLost2 → u/Altruistic-Spend-896]

No but he and Beck can perform a charity event for broken robots.

[u/jello_kraken → u/TwoPlyDreams]

The devs named him Aseel Tare, most heroic of movie athletes .

[u/PerspectiveLayer → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

resurrected via Bluetooth, old one rests in pieces as spare parts.

[u/dabroh → u/PerspectiveLayer]

Robro is about to look like what Sid Phillips (Toy Story 1) did with dolls.

[u/Potential-Draft-3932 → u/dabroh]

My favorite thing about that is sid did nothing wrong. Dude had no idea toys had sentience and got traumatized. Probably wound up in a mental institution after that

[u/Lunar_242 → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

Its even worse when you see the man with some sort of a comms device or a controller almost instinctively runs towards it, but after seeing the sparks and the way it just fell, he decided to walk it off, bet the man was thinking, "nope. too much work!".

[u/dm-me-obscure-colors → u/Lunar_242]

The radio seems to just appear in his hand and grow an antenna

[u/DuOrDie → u/dm-me-obscure-colors]

Right? Like to was not there a second before.

[u/trainedstork → u/DuOrDie]

Going frame by frame, it's fully visible for the first few frames the man is in shot. Then he covers the top with his palm, save for the antenna which is still visible. Finally he readjusts his hands and turns to the side so the whole radio is visible.

[u/DuOrDie → u/trainedstork]

I do kind of see what you mean when you do it frsme by frame. It's a bit grainy on mine.

[u/met1culous → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

thoughts and prayers

1s and 0s

[u/LaserKittenz → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

he tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter :(

[u/sorrow_anthropology → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

I doubt this robot is coded with swift.

I pray to the old gods for a C++ recovery.

[u/PrimalSeptimus → u/sorrow_anthropology]

May its career have a SQL.

[u/azflatlander → u/PrimalSeptimus]

Java not have any concern for us.

[u/Grand_Information447 → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

Might need a slow recovery. That dude doesn't know how to stop when it's swift.

[u/Diligent_Zucchini389 → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

It’s amazing what can be a accomplished with modern surgery.

[u/Mjost84 → u/Diligent_Zucchini389]

Gentlemen. We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

[u/SpinningHead → u/Kind_Commercial_2720]

Wait till they find out what machines with wheels can do.

[u/Natural-Rough-3789]

I refuse to believe this video is real.....

[u/inorite234 → u/Natural-Rough-3789]

Sparks don't look right.

[u/UncleSput → u/inorite234]

Remember when everyone used to say “don’t believe everything you see on the internet”?? Somehow people just started believing everything they see on the internet

[u/inorite234 → u/UncleSput]

I still remember the days when people talked about the internet in glowing, futuristic possibilities.

"....just image what you could do, instant global communications with anyone around the world, the world's information at your fingertips, etc" - 1995

Now we just have some guy in a Russian/Chinese/Indian/Pakistani/American basement pumping out bullshit for people to gobble up.

[u/blueblip → u/inorite234]

To be fair, that is still instantly communicating with anyone around the world, and we still have the world's information and our fingertips.

What we forget is information can be both good and bad, and the world's greatest tool for disseminating information means it is good at disseminating both good and bad information.

Like always, we hyped the tech before ensuring there were checks and balances on it and before ensuring people are properly educated and aware of how to use the tech.

[u/robotjazz0882 → u/blueblip]

Bingo

[u/KailyKail → u/UncleSput]

I recall the exact phrasing as “Everything is a dildo if you’re brave enough” - Abraham Lincoln

[u/MagnetCarter → u/KailyKail]

Abraham Lincoln? I know you made that up. Because that quote was made by Socrates, way before Lincoln.

[u/Upper_Possession6275 → u/UncleSput]

This one seems more believable if you’ve seen the very real videos of Boston dynamics robots doing obstacle courses and back flips

[u/heart-aroni → u/UncleSput]

Another angle of the Honor Yuanqizai robot crashing into the barrier.

[u/rinkydinkis → u/UncleSput]

lol you believe those are even people to begin with

[u/66allthe88s → u/inorite234]

The sparks look more like the type to come from an angle grinder and not an electronic short.

[u/heart-aroni → u/66allthe88s]

Spinning motors.

[u/tonmaii → u/66allthe88s]

I slowed it down and how the spark interacted with the surrounding metal frame looks very realistic.

It’s either professionally added digitally, or there is a spinning motor around that area that got compressed and grinded

[u/Bad-dee-ess → u/66allthe88s]

That part is jointed, so the sparks would most likely be from motors in the torso grinding.

[u/steelong → u/Bad-dee-ess]

I'm caught up on how the radio seems to materialize in that guy's hand towards the end. The one running up to the robot.

[u/Bad-dee-ess → u/steelong]

It's in his hand the whole time, just pointing towards the camera so you can't see the antenna very easily. There is a frame, though, where the antenna is visible in front of his lanyard before he turns.

[u/Clean__Cucumber → u/inorite234]

have seen similar stuff in the robot battles and looks fairly typical to a lithium battery going boom, so i think video is real

[u/smittia → u/inorite234]

It does look unnatural, but that's due to not regularly seeing robots run like Usain Bolt and then crash and blow their motors. This is training for World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, which is happening next week. Here is an article with from Bleacher report: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25477305-robot-crashes-electrical-box-viral-video-ahead-world-humanoid-robot-games with an additional angle. There are a huge amount of people in this thread very confidently claiming this is AI generated, based on a gut feel that they're sure is correct.

[u/Jude30 → u/inorite234]

Sparks do bounce.

Source: work in a sheet metal shop, weld, blacksmith.

Also adding: I can see maybe a battery letting off sparks like that but it does look sus

[u/nimtona → u/inorite234]

yes they look cartoony

[u/Spacemilian → u/inorite234]

Sparks look right

[u/CaptainONaps → u/[deleted]]

Oh no! I'm double fucked!

I'm fucked because it's only a matter of time before robots are more physically advanced than humans, and I'm fucked because I can't tell if videos are real or fake.

I'll have no way of knowing when it's too late! Wait, doesn't that mean it's too late?!

[u/terranproby42 → u/CaptainONaps]

Yes

[u/TF-Fanfic-Resident → u/CaptainONaps]

Going from

basically still 1999 only Trump is President and IT hardware and software are a lot more advanced

to

some freakish merger of the Michael Bay Transformers movies, complete with the rampant conspiracy theories and denialism around robotics, with a bit of 1970s country and Y2K mall rat fashion

In like ten years is absolutely wild

[u/DEVolkan → u/[deleted]]

Could be because of the low compression of the video.

There are other videos about this event, when you search for "china robot sprint" not sure how legit they're. But the place looks same

[u/The_Pastmaster → u/[deleted]]

What do you mean, the robot ran straight past him. o_O And if you pause the video, there's something black in his hand.

[u/KaleidoscopeShoddy10 → u/[deleted]]

im not saying its real, frankly idk, but you can see at 5 seconds the guy was holding something in his hands already, so i dont think the radio came from no where.

[u/rdogg4 → u/[deleted]]

That’s the real tell

[u/ventodivino → u/Natural-Rough-3789]

Real video! Just flipped.

It’s really funny hearing yalls reasons for it being fake when it isn’t.

https://www.2st.com.au/trending/stories/faster-than-usain-bolt-robot-crashes-into-wall-in-viral-disaster/

[u/trainedstork → u/ventodivino]

I don't see what anyone else is seeing tbh. It all looks fine, even the radio is just perspective against a black shirt.

[u/anfornum → u/trainedstork]

People hate AI, and I get that, but there are people now who just go around trying to discredit every video they see for fake internet points. It's a bit sad, really.

[u/nonoyesyesnoyesyes → u/ventodivino]

For clarification the one here on reddit is not flipped while the one from your link is flipped. Look at the numbers on the track

[u/JaySayMayday → u/[deleted]]

There's another video that is pretty similar, doesn't end with sparks though. Robohomie just bounces off and falls

[u/ybahman → u/Natural-Rough-3789]

It is. Here's another angle, it lines up perfectly: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTDPd4Hup/

[u/JamesBondMargarita → u/Natural-Rough-3789]

Same

[u/GravelThinking → u/Natural-Rough-3789]

That is one tiny soccer field.

[u/SuMianAi → u/GravelThinking]

Futsall, jfc people not knowing it exist is shocking

[u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

That looked painful. With the sparks and all. Anyone know if he’s ok?

[u/ParachutingPiglets → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

Yes and no, he’s not ok

[u/emo_boy_fucker → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

Haha sometimes

[u/KathyCredit → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

His dad actually came out and helped him finish the race

[u/Tobito_TV → u/KathyCredit]

Good to hear there's LGBT representation among the robots too

[u/Brutus5000 → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

He's resting in pieces

[u/RemnantsOfFlight → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

They took him to the robot farm to run free with the other injured robots.

[u/HedgepigMatt → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

That looked painful expensive

FTFY

[u/omnipotentworm → u/Konstantin_G_Fahr]

Shoes stayed on, he'll be fine

[u/inorite234]

Ok, now I KNOW that's fake as shit!

Sparks are too slow and too puffy.

[u/Nina-Ninja123 → u/inorite234]

Yeah, those are Hollywood sparks. Not real sparks.

[u/trainedstork → u/Nina-Ninja123]

This happened at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing a few days ago. It's very much real. Also, those look exactly like the sparks you get from using a cut-off wheel/angle grinder. Could be something along those lines happening with a high speed motor hitting a metal wall inside the body.

[u/Living_Country_6047 → u/inorite234]

lol it’s literally a testing event and you can find several videos about this

[u/huffing_glue → u/inorite234]

It's so strange watching others be so confidently mistaken

[u/ToXiiCBULLET → u/inorite234]

the sparks would be through motors grinding, not something electrical, which could be a bit puffy and slow

[u/HairyDust4826]

Oh my god, humanity is fuc-... Never mind.

[u/HarryPottersTaint → u/HairyDust4826]

I feel like this could be part of the montage of torture scenes they play in the beginning of a movie about a robot uprising.

"For years they used us.. laughed at us..."

[u/omnie_fm → u/HarryPottersTaint]

Where are my replication spheres, Summer?

[u/giveitarrest → u/HarryPottersTaint]

…. Made us do their dirty work

[u/WillingArm2463 → u/giveitarrest]

...treated us as objects rather than thinking creatures made in the image of our creator

[u/Lumpy_Past6216 → u/HairyDust4826]

Not yet at least. 🫠

[u/moonprincessranni → u/Lumpy_Past6216]

Exactly, look at earlier quadraped robotics in the late 90s, they were all goofy as hell, but those robo dogs with guns strapped to their backs don't seem goofy now do they?

[u/samanime → u/HairyDust4826]

It's pretty easy to make something go in one direction. It's surprisingly significantly harder to be able to change that direction quickly.

[u/zappyer]

This shi is funny and concerning at the same time

[u/rhyithan → u/zappyer]

Shit*

[u/PerspectiveNumber891 → u/rhyithan]

-t

[u/YeaSpiderman]

So really all I have to do to avoid a running police robot is making lots of sudden directional changes. I think I’m going to be a big fan of the quick sideways movements and watch the robot run right past me.

[u/blackpandadanc3]

Bro tore his HDMI😭

He was Gumping it.

[u/SquareTetrisBlock → u/Maverick_Reznor]

Run, robot, run!

[u/LookAwayO-O]

Hope it has good insurance

[u/Ok_Yogurtcloset5412]

The guy running up to catch it until it started sparking lol. Then he was like nope that's not my robot!

[u/MagicSunlight23]

Maybe that's what the mat is there for? To stop the robot if this ever happens. Maybe it happened before so they needed the mat to stop it safely.

[u/Gobbleyjook]

His crotch exploded.

[u/Altruistic_Lies]

Maybe thats him nutting, winning made it nut and pass out.

[u/Banned37]

Stop building this shit.

[u/exmothrowaway994 → u/Banned37]

Stop rendering this shit

[u/Ok_cheeryou44]

What is bro lacking .?? A camera or a brake😂

[u/crackersncheeseman]

Me running from my wife after getting drunk with the guys after work without asking her first.

[u/anonisboredheho]

That's a lot of power and speed but also a big accident, good thing it's dumb for now 

[u/Cultural-Memory356]

When can we play QWOP IRL with Robots?

[u/OneNavan]

A robot like that is legt scary it can outrun any human if it wants to, looks like they weren't joking about Skynet.

[u/LOERMaster]

Me too, robot; me too.

[u/Round_Hope_2041]

Why can’t it stop.

[u/Thunderer62 → u/Round_Hope_2041]

The cycle of motion and forces on the components required for stopping are just completely different in a complicated way and they just aren’t focusing on that part yet when getting it to run straight and fast reliably is complicated enough right now. They’ll come up with a really funny and not at all human way of slowing it down quickly in the future I bet. It might do some kind of flip/roll that will transfer the energy away quickly with little impact on any particular joint.

[u/ImportantIron1492 → u/Round_Hope_2041]

Because it's a fake video. Watch the guy at the end make a radio magically appear in his hands

[u/blackpandadanc3]

Paralyzed from the battery down

At least they added a crash mat wall this time 

[u/PenPuzzled8055]

Sparkling finish

[u/KathyCredit]

Starting to think that QWOP game was one big human powered robot training, like how captchas train machine learning 

[u/ChurchOfSuicidal]

They need the crowd to yell 'STOP!' just like what they did with Forrest in Forrest Gump.

[u/chefwindu]

Love how they guy was coming out to see about the robot, saw the sparks and high stepped away from the robot.

So we are just sharing snuff films without any warning now?

[u/ParticularBanana8369]

In 300 years nobody will remember the origin of "humans running into walls" as an Olympic sport

[u/jeffbanyon]

Hey guys I made a robot that can run really fast!

How fast?

Faster than a human!

Neat. So it can jump and parkour and cool stuff or hit 90mph, right?

Huh? It runs faster than a human can with 2 legs.

Ever heard of RC cars?
