That is some eerily human-like movement right there.

I thought it was people making fun of the weird walking robot thing. Then I realized it really was the weird walking robot thing. I'm really fucking freaked out now.

[–]RelativeBacons 98 points99 points ago

Be even more creepy and more human-like if, upon regaining it's footing, it goes over and kicks that asshole that kicked him.

[–]steviesteveo12 26 points27 points ago

Oh yeah, this gif is going to be Exhibit A in that guy's post-robot-revolution trial.

[–]dressedAsDog 64 points65 points ago

Am I feeling sorry for a robot? Shit. I am.

[–]TKDgirl 29 points30 points ago

I was thinking the same thing; it was minding its own business until it got push-kicked for curiosity sake.

[–]G182 25 points26 points ago

I felt bad for my laptop when it got a virus because of my porn browsing. He didn't deserve it.

[–]MotivationToLoseIt 1 point2 points ago

Until they came out of the brush that was way too real.

[–]xenophobias 8 points9 points ago

For some reason that looks cruel... Is it strange that I almost sort of sympathize for them? Even though they have no human feeling?

[–]rmc330 1 point2 points ago

When that guy kicks the robot.. he was kicking it for all of us.

[–]GeneralWarts 19 points20 points ago

Too human.

[–]kowalski71 22 points23 points ago

No, this is too human. It's the beginning of the end. Skynet, all I'm sayin.

For FUCK sake. Another video not allowed on mobile. But still upvoting it as just the thought of the video is making me laugh heartily whilst on the crapper.

Personally? That is so goddamn cool. I'm born a year before Jensen's canon birth year. I get excited when I see stuff like advanced prosthetics, because the future is just so cool.

[–]mkdz 43 points44 points ago

It's called the uncanny valley. It usually applies to appearances, but I think it can also apply to movement as well.

[–]Ceejae 31 points32 points ago

Is that why porn video games haven't been invented yet?

That valley is sooo uncanny.

[–]OmegaSeven 4 points5 points ago

I can hear the crazy loud noise this thing makes in my head!

[–]sotonohito 4 points5 points ago

That's just the gas generator. It's actually pretty quiet if it's running off a battery or an electric cord.

[–]OmegaSeven 5 points6 points ago

I think that's even more frightening.

[–]Nyrb 1 point2 points ago

I know right? Couldn't even hear it coming...

[–]Arketan 1 point2 points ago

Imagine being out camping at night and that thing's creepin about

[–]OmegaSeven 2 points3 points ago

Why would anyone want to camp in the uncanny valley?

But seriously, they need to put a head of some kind on that freaking thing.

[–]Arketan 1 point2 points ago

I think that'd make it worse, depending on the head, imagine they put a mannequin head on it.

[–]Retanaru 2 points3 points ago

There's a battery version.

[–]randorolian 6 points7 points ago

Holy shit, until I payed attention to the joints I thought these were two people.

[–]potterarchy 1 point2 points ago

Wow, that's really good at righting itself. Neat.

[–]somewhereinbetween 1 point2 points ago

I used to work in the building overlooking Boston Dynamics, and it was pretty cool to see the tests going on in their parking lot. Interesting stuff going on there, just not sure how practical it all is at this point in development.

[–]bdmflyer 1 point2 points ago

If I recall, one of the intended uses was to carry gear around for the military.

This is my favorite one. http://i.imgur.com/VmBtU.gif

[–]The_FactSphere 67 points68 points ago

Because they see at a higher FPS than humans, Stephen Fry talked about it on QI...it was quite interesting.

[–]unicornon 88 points89 points ago

I like Stephen Fry's explanation, but frankly the 'pigeon don't give a shit' is much more plausible.

[–]TheMightyDane 10 points11 points ago

I know I might be putting you on a task - but do you have a clip? Or maybe a episodenumber? :)

[–]Deddan 11 points12 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51njbgcr_NU

I think the episode was called Arts, and was in the first series. Must be pretty old, as Linda Smith is in it and she's dead now :(

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

not that i don't appreciate the show, but what i wanted to know from that was literally in the last 10 seconds. good grief.

[–]Green-Daze 4 points5 points ago

I'll give you a hint

This makes sense if you don't think about it.

[–]xtrasneakygastro 5 points6 points ago

what setup is he using, GTX 570?

[–]KBMXOR 13 points14 points ago

He was probably trying to kill himself and he is probably really pissed at the end.

[–]BALTIM0R0N 4 points5 points ago

Strangely, that looks like it feels good.

[–]N69sZelda 1 point2 points ago

this guy would agree

[–]IsThisTheRealLife 12 points13 points ago

Fucks were given as the claw was damaged and burdensome.

[–]ruotwocone 50 points51 points ago

[–]jpopps 31 points32 points ago

Nearly the most disappointing toy experience I had in the '80s. Almost as bad as getting a "remote control" car and realising that it was tethered to the controller via a 6' wire.

*edit: fixed context.

[–]muons_and_gluons 7 points8 points ago

..and it can only turn by going in reverse

[–]ruotwocone 9 points10 points ago

'tis better to have yearned for the must-have toy and never received it, than to have had it and been disappointed

[–]griff_tannen 2 points3 points ago

"My Buddy" wasn't actually that fun to hang out with.

[–]TheGreenShepherd 1 point2 points ago

I always wanted one of those...were they really that bad?

[–]jpopps 2 points3 points ago

To be honest, it was more the lack of batteries. Batteries in the '80s were like crack for kids under 10 - always wanting more!!!

The animal wasn't remote controlled. You pointed it at where you wanted it to go and hoped that the rigid plastic tires would keep it going straight. Then you improvised a "hill" for it to climb (maybe a pile of stuffed animals) and watched it get stuck at the very bottom.

I had (and its still in my parents' basement) a toy truck with about 10-12 wheels which was much more effective at climbing obstacles, but then again, it was tethered to the remote.

[–]jpopps 1 point2 points ago

Just for context: A review

[–]rub3s 1 point2 points ago

I had the Animal. Loved it.

But damn that commercial is permanently etched in my brain.
The Animal, The Animal! NOTHING CAN STOP ... DUH DUH DUN DUN ...THE ANIMAL ... THE ANIMAAALLLLLLL!

[–]boomerangotan 1 point2 points ago

I was surprised that once I heard the beginning, I was predicting the rest of the ad in my head a second or two before I heard it. They must have played that commercial to death when I was a kid.

[–]anexanhume 269 points270 points ago

[–]SkepticalPanda 140 points141 points ago

I love the look of sad resignation to the complete loss of dignity before he waddles his way over

To be fair, Boston terriers have no dignity to begin with. They are goofy looking little mofos

[–]kiss-kiss 50 points51 points ago

That escalated... slowly?

[–]richworks 15 points16 points ago

at a reasonable pace, I would say...

[–]iammolotov 4 points5 points ago

Would say it was a... medium pace?

[–]Man_with_the_Fedora 14 points15 points ago

That's the wrong medium pace.

[–]DivideByGodError 4 points5 points ago

You're both slightly off the mark.

[–]Derpybro 6 points7 points ago

[–]3danimator 25 points26 points ago

I don't understand how this is not giving a fuck

[–]Deddan 38 points39 points ago

It's method of locomotion looks somewhat ridiculous, so whoever made the gif had the little car "not give a fuck" about it. The strange walking and the "not giving a fuck" caption is unexpected, and from thence the humour arose.

OP ruined it a little with his title, as it gave away what could be considered the punchline. I expect he just thought the image was interesting and wanted to share it.

[–]Hyperboli 14 points15 points ago

Sort of, but the "Like I give a fuck" comes from the fact that it has wheels but walks instead.

[–]Deddan 6 points7 points ago

Ah yes, of course. Perhaps even a combination of the two.

This image has so many levels.

[–]keyree 3 points4 points ago

Just so you know, "from thence" is redundant. Thence means from there.

[–]meshman 5 points6 points ago

How does the caption relate to the gif? I don't get it.

[–]OverlordQ 17 points18 points ago

Even though it has wheels, it's like "Fuck you" and 'walks'

[–]realmrkitty 13 points14 points ago

Reminds me of this

Edit: Apparently it reminded someone else of it quicker. I'll take my downvotes with honor.

[–]LeAnnderthal 7 points8 points ago

This repost will be allowed without mockery. Because it is adorable. And made me laugh both times.

[–]Greavesy 3 points4 points ago

Chopper, SIC BALLS!

[–]pearljamman010 1 point2 points ago

I can hear it move...

[–]Fellow51 1 point2 points ago

That'll come in handy for all those times you need to walk instead of rolling.

[–]Friendly_Ax_Murderer 2 points3 points ago

I bought 8 of them on sale. One gets me beer. One chases my dog. The other goes and gets pizza. Very helpful.

[–]notametaphor 9 points10 points ago

I could be wrong, but I think the wheels are good for smooth/uniform terrain, and the "feet" make it easier to move over rough/bumpy surfaces, like rocks.

[–]talitus 5 points6 points ago

How does that even make sense? Walking robot = I don't give a fuck?

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points ago

The way it picks it's legs way higher than it needs to gives the impression it is strutting away without a care in the world, and thus, giving zero fucks.

EDIT: It is. Not iris.
