Student's Robot Becomes Intel's Processor Demo

[exfileme]

A final project for a senior's UA cognitive robotics class led to Intel knocking on his door with a check.

Look, you either build cool robots or get laid, you can't have both...

Were is the video???

Student's Robot Becomes Intel's Processor Demo.... also searches for Sarah Connor.

 

[botabota]

should try putting an octacore in there ... maybe it will be like transformer

 

[JasonAkkerman]

The robot even "adaptively learns" how to best achieve its forward-moving goal.

Nice to see Intel supporting young talent.

should have copyrighted it and used different processors

and then created a new company and sold them all

then we would have AMD vs Intel dancing robots

Mr. Bunting has a bright future, indeed!

That is a SWEET robot, and a brilliant kid. Wish I was smart enough to do that.

What if building these cool robots brings in loads of cash? I think he might be able to get both then...

no doubt... im not a dummy by any means but some people are just impressive.
that spider moves awesome. "imaginary springs" very smart!

 

[ikefu]

Quick! Kill it before it turns into Skynet and spawns more cheesy movie sequels!!!!!

PS I wish my senior project was cool enough to get me paid.

 

[gayan]

Oh no...it has begun... The Attack of the Dancing Robots...

 

[matt87_50]

yeah thats cool. so did he build a custom motherboard?

he could have just as easily done his experiment in a simulation.

but robots are so cool! the only thing cooler than programming games is programming robots!

First off, nothing on that robot looks like spare parts to me. Second, it would be cool if it ran off of solar power instead of a wired external power. If that Atom process ran off of solar, that would have caught everyone's attention.

None the less, Bunting made a very cool robot.

I think we've found the guy who creates skynet... We must stop him before the inevitable happens.

That's when robots start harvesting humans for energy

Very cool indeed, but that's no robotic spider: it's only got 6 legs!! Should be called a robotic ant instead.

Good observation Taxidermist!

Oh, would life be ever so sweet only if.
AMD robot dance crew vs. single massive Intel dancing robot.
Opterons scale better in 4P systems anyways. Intel makes awesome chips though.

Then, just as the dust settles from the duel, Via and IBM enter the stage. VIA with a million small bots that all join together to form one large bot, and IBM carrying a BFG to blow everyone's ass up. =D

It's pretty reminiscent of the tachikomas / fuchikomas from Ghost in the Shell.
