Comments on Starfish Robot Stretching Video
A short video showing the Starfish robot, one of my faves, stretching and getting ready to walk. (Read
the complete story)
| "Real awesome... and also creepy!" (LanderX 9/1/2007 9:29:28 AM) |
| "Real Scary - PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE TERMINATOR HAPPEN!!" (Russell 9/1/2007 10:53:44 AM) |
| "Why not add rubberized foot pads to give it traction on surfaces?" ( 9/1/2007 11:41:11 AM) |
| "Please don't make the robot sad. Put its foot back on." (Robots_Have_Feelings 9/1/2007 4:58:29 PM) |
| "It seems to me as though it would be easier if the robot were in a configuration that walks more easily than a 4-armed starfish, especially when damaged. That looked very awkward, even though it is clearly a great advancement. I simply think that the system might have done better with a hardware configuration that is easier to move." ( 9/1/2007 5:46:28 PM) |
| "How much processing power does it take to generate/test/refine new gaits? Do you have a starfish that can try out new gaits and test them itself? " (Mike S 9/2/2007 1:01:35 AM) |
| "OMG, the dragoons have arrived! Call in the siege tanks!" (They Are Here 9/2/2007 3:22:29 AM) |
| "Neat, but check out our four-student no-budget project which achieved the same result already in 2002 just by genetic programming, which also featured a dynamic simulation, 3d-visualization and network-parallelization:

| "I, for one, welcome our new robotic starfish overlords." (Michael 9/2/2007 7:14:02 AM) |
| "(Robots_Have_Feelings: I feel the same way; it's interesting how robots that are in some way biomimetic arouse our sympathy." (Bill Christensen 9/2/2007 3:59:12 PM) |
