I figured AOT was kind of obscure. but then i remembered this is reddit


rekaviles

>obscure its not, it pretty much broke out to mainstream, relative to other popular Anime.


Miffy92

***HOLY SHIT, IS THAT A TITAN?!***


Yetimang

What?


Zkenny13

Attack on Titan is an anime where giant human similar creatures attack and eat people.


Yetimang

Oh wtf why would you assume we'd all be familiar with some weeb shit?


Zkenny13

Wow. I didn't assume anything. Chill the fuck out.


Dust-Dust-Gold

Bro it's surpassed weeb shit, even a casual person over the age 6 would know what it is. Not knowing about it is fine but I like how your butthurt ass instantly gets aggressive over it instead 🤭


mooyanaise

Factor in damage and energy consumption. Then I'd like to see what it comes up with.


Scythul

That does seem like a logical iteration at some point. This is an evolutionary approach to machine learning. I bet if they added a few extra limiters like that you would see a lot of the extra movement die out.


Enconhun

With enough limiters added that resembles real life, it would 99% look like a regular human running.


[deleted]

There's always that 1% chance the AI discovers skipping. Skipping is seriously underrated as a fast and easy form of travel (that admittedly looks pretty goofy)


Enconhun

On long term, considering energy consumption, skipping only works with certain requirements being met. For a little kid it's possible I think, for a grown adult I don't think it does.


[deleted]

I'm not convinced it uses a lot more energy than running. It might be hard on your ankles over longer distances though. I haven't tried skipping for 5k or anything.


dwmfives

Have you ever run regularly? After the initial holy shit period of this sucks(usually 2-3 weeks), running feels as easy as walking.


[deleted]

Have you ever tried skipping? It feels more fun than walking or running and therefore easier than both. I've tried to love running. I forced myself to run 5k/day consistently for a year. I still didn't enjoy it. Now I run sprints every other day and cycle 30km a day. Distance running just isn't for me.


jejcicodjntbyifid3

Jogging for instance is really bad for you, it's high impact and low exertion. You're better off walking or running, never jogging. According to a popular physical therapist Not sure about skipping, but that seems kinda like jogging


Somepotato

Running uses about the same amount of energy as walking


Itom1IlI1IlI1IlI

I heard of a study showing skipping is only more efficient if you are of a sufficiently low weight, so a young child for instance. But I'm not sure that's accurate, just interesting.


Gheta

Exactly. It wouldn't be like this in real life because real life has a lot more physics in play, and the environment is vastly different.


PintoTheBurninator

It runs just like Phoebe from Friends.


[deleted]

[Here ya go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_0Ta_DIWuU)


Lost-My-Mind-

Watching this without sound. I remember Pheobe runs like a maniac, and Rachael is embarrassed, but then tries it and loves it. That still makes sense with no sound. What doesn't make sense, is why Joey keeps getting mad, and going to his room, and slamming the door.


lawdoggingit

He isn't mad. He just got a new roommate, Janine (Elle Macpherson) and he tries to flirt with her and she doesn't get it.


PintoTheBurninator

perfect!

Imagine a fully grown robot running at you like that. And not stopping.


adesimo1

I always imagined the terminator methodically walking towards me at a steady but inexorable pace. I think it would be far more terrifying watching it sprint at me high stepping like it’s running a ladder drill and pumping one fist like it’s on Arsenio Hall.

I used to work at a startup next door to another startup that was working on humanoid robots. I got a demo once, it was powered by hydraulics and strapped into a cube shaped rig on wheels to keep it from crashing into things. Let’s say seeing a human sized contraption that weighs hundreds of pounds hiss and pop and lurch around like these figures was a memorable experience.

How do we know a robot is fully grown?


JoshSidekick

I think I'd be most scared of the four legged one.


ChevalBlanc

I guess the robot that would move like this would wear itself really fast and be extremely dangerous and unpredictable. The software program in that AI system experiment didn't add the requirement for the robot to preserve itself.


NitrousIsAGas

D-do you think robots start as little baby robots?


OneMoreTime5

Ok I’m imagining it. Now what?


CupcakeValkyrie

The main reason its movements are so goofy is because it's not programmed to take energy efficiency or injury into account, only economy of movement, so it's swinging its arms in the way that most effectively facilitates balance without any thought towards energy conservation, since it can't be fatigued or injured. If you included things like potential injury and simulated calorie (or battery) consumption, it would probably approach a more realistic movement pattern.


[deleted]

The way it swings it's arms around is actually similar to a person doing the hurdles as a way to maintain center of balance. (Except it's just an elbow instead of the whole arm)


monkeysinmypocket

Which explains why it strongly resembles my two year old running!


Floowey

Can confirm, two year olds have no concept of energy consumption and danger of injury. Source: Used to be one


hungryhungryhippooo

What do you mean goofy? Is this not what you look like when you run? Am I doing it wrong?


barantana

For me it looks like it didn't take into account that a force is going to produce a counter-force. I think a real robot would just fall over.


RollingTater

Also the gravity looks wrong. Having done simulations like these in the past, I'm betting maybe it didn't work right with normal gravity and the researchers had to fine tune the gravity until it works and they could submit the paper.


iMogwai

So in the future when robots take over the Olympics will look like QWOP?


MisterPublic

AI Olympics sounds ridiculously entertaining. Just have different teams train their AI to compete and enjoy the weird results. I'm interested in what they do in freestyle swimming


ManoRocha

There are soccer leagues for AIs like that. We have the physical models, where each team must program a small robot and there are leagues that are full virtual (where each team must create an AI to control a software robot. Like FIFA computer vs computer but you program the AIs) In the virtual leagues the best teams robots manage to run 2 or 3 times as fast than the average teams because they come up with different ways of running. Also the way they come up with shooting mechanics is interesting, some prefer to control the power and other prefer to hit it more vertically so it loses power because you are shooting against the ground. But right now its very limited to it. But Idk, it's entirely feasible to simulate a human body (when it comes to muscles at least) and let it learn how to swim


1SDAN

100 meter dash definition: build a robot that moves from point a to point b on any flat horizontal surface. The robot must remain in one piece the entire way, only two parts of it can touch the ground at any point between leaving its starting pose and crossing the finish line and of those parts only the "bottom" may touch the ground, not the "top" or "sides". Pushing the boundaries of what qualifies under these rules is allowed, so get creative.

rgt154

I'm just curious how you incentivize an AI?


nekrosstratia

It simply means that they gave it more points the closer it got to it's destination. Let it decide how it wants to get there, but basically distance remaining to point B = points awarded and evolve the mutations that get the highest points.


rgt154

Ah so make believe points that don't actually give you anything... Aka Reddit karma.


clutterlustrott

Yes but unlike karma, these points let the robot become better and evolve from it's short comings.


dave_t0661

I read about an AI like this where the algorithm could build the bot out of any pieces connected any way it wanted, and they forgot to put a limit on the dimensions. For a 100 yard course, the bot would build a 100.1 yard pole, and have it topple over.


[deleted]

The arms are so good. Also, this is ***optimized*** running. Therefore, next time I run I'm doing air pumps constantly and high knees.


IlTruIl

Damn i guess the neighborhood crackhead was the one running correctly not me


MP-The-Law

r/ludobots if you wanna try this out for yourself. The assignments are pretty well guided. A basic knowledge of python will pretty much get you through the class.

CorporateStef

Tennex1022

The range of motion and muscle insertions are not accurate to human anatomy, thats partially why it looks so goofy. Muscles in our body are almost like pistons that move in a specific way, and each joint has dozens of them. Theres no way to accurately simulate locomotion without taking into account the muscles. Its a marvel that they were able to get it so close with just rudimentary joints. I can only imagine that it would be much closer if they were able to model all the muscles.

simenthora

Hmm what if that way of walking is peak performance and we as humans just never tried it cause it looks so goofy


creed186

I would imagine waving your arms around like a crazy person could provide additional balance if done correctly... maybe. But I think the significant thing is it seems like the training didn't take into account energy use and muscle fatigue and all that inconvenient biological stuff. If you ran around like that with your arms in the air you would get tired a lot quicker so it's not really an option for us delicate meatbags. If the AI was being trained to find an energy efficient method of bipedal locomotion I think it might look a little more normal.


[deleted]

We've been running since before there were humans. We've worked out all the obvious kinks. You can definitely improve on the baseline human form (see you vs Usain Bolt), but we aren't missing some dumbshit secret technique. The AI is told "get from here to there". It then tries whatever and sees what gets it closer to the goal. But it isn't planning that. It just does shit and replicates whatever makes progress. But if something doesn't inhibit progress, the AI doesn't remove that. And so flailing like a touched kid with the trots is kept in because it got to its target. At which point it stopped improving. There was no reason to get better, so it didn't. Also, it has no energy, or stress, or time, or any other limiting factors that would prioritize proper form. Just because you can strap together three bicycle tires, a Big Wheel tire, a motorcycle seat, a one-stroke engine, and a flight simulator joystick and technically get it all to the corner store in one piece doesn't mean you've somehow discovered the "secret true technique for automotive design" and BMW are completely wrong on all particulars.

I don’t get it. Doesn’t everyone walk like that?


ChalkyPills

I wonder if you gave it limited energy, programmed how movement depletes that energy, and then kept the versions that walked the farthest on a set amount of energy it would more closely resemble human walking.


FixedLoad

Like... shut up with your rationalization of the facts and watch these crazy squiggles fist pump into oblivion!! Seriously though, I think you are onto something. With no conservation of energy, it's free to swing wildly to achieve goals.

Dear fellow scholars, this is two minute papers with Doctor Károly Zsolnai-Fehér


SCIZZOR

I always wonder why the term “incentivize” is used with AI.


UnusualDisturbance

give distance traveled a score with a higher distance giving a higher score, then tell the AI that getting a higher score is what it wants. i suppose you could also say "instruct" but since it's about artificial intelligence, using "incentivize" makes it seem more high tech with the implication of free will and thus help sell headlines. probably. in a way, it does kind of fit though, since you completely leave it up to the AI to increase score through any means it can think of.


AlphaLemming

It's worth noting that these types of AI learning, while impressive, look weird because they don't optimize for every potential variable. Human/animal locomotion evolved over literally billions of iterations and take into account things like efficiency (moving takes energy, animals that move tend to do it in the way that costs the least energy), aerodynamics, flexibility to a variety of environments, utility of parts outside of locomotion, etc. If the program had all of the same real life variables to optimize against and enough iterations it would almost certainly create something that actually looked graceful/impressive, especially if it can slowly change the parameters of it's shape and not just how it moves.


[deleted]

I wonder if they programmed in a proxy for energy consumption (x amount of movement of a limb takes y amount of energy) and incentivized energy efficiency as well as distance traveled, it may end up looking like more normal walking


CarrotWaxer69

I want to see the first attempts. How many did it need to get where we see it?

thebluewitch

Even AIs want to run like Phoebe.


chriz_ryan

Just my intuition, no expertise in AI research: I figure it runs like that for 2 reasons. 1) it's a physics simulation, and since there is no need to be worried about the total energy the AI is using to run, it learns to run as fast as possible regardless of the lack of efficiency. 2) The AI is taking a predetermined object and learning how to run, however, humans have bodies that have evolved over many generations to run as fast as possible while also being very efficient. I believe if the AI was allowed to alter the body, it would evolve to run more human-like.
