Missed opportunity to call it Muhummanoid
Sounds like it's ready to run the country already.
They called the robot Muhammad, they're lucky there weren't any children in the room.
God, that would've been ebic
Easy fix, get it to grope a man. They'll probably stone the bot then and there.
Must be a slow news day.
The robot is just moving around, AI isn't remotely close to at the point where a physical robot can "grope" a person intentionally.
The fact the video is so short says a lot. I'd expect anyone who watched would just see that the robot moves around all the time, and the reporter wasn't supposed to stand so close to it.
This isn't news.
Honestly kinda edges onto racism territory. "Hurr hirr, Saudi robot, groped woman, it's cuz it was made in Saudi"
Ew.
It's not exactly newsworthy, but that a Saudi robot, from a country known for its bad treatment of women, touches a woman inappropriately, even if just by accident, reads like satire.
It's just a silly story.
These things are getting so life like!
Not in appearance yet, but you gotta admit the robot understood the assignment.
The robotics firm said staff had "proactively informed all attendees, including reporters, to maintain a safe distance from the robot during its demonstration."
Because they knew the robot is a serial rapist
Sounds like victim blaming.
It totally is. The robot is just an innocent week old bot and that older woman had no business grooming/training it.
I mean... yeah?? I think.
Whamen respected
This is not news. The robot lifted it's hand and she was standing too close to the display. It barely qualifies as a robot anyway. It's not like it looked down and analyzed her butt. It's not that complicated.
Thanks for saving me a read. I was expecting some basic object identification and retrieval AI getting confused by a pattern and groping to grab the "object"
Sure seems that way. I don't personally do controls engineering. But I know enough I wouldn't doubt that's just pre-programmed motion to attempt it looking "alive".
So 1) Seems much more like animatronics. 2) It certainly doesn't have advanced enough proximity detection AI would need.
The creators even claim they told people to stay back. That's not advanced at all. Even simple production line bots have collision detection.
It has wide field of view, no need to look down. It analyzed and decided to clap dat ass.
How dare you use logic on the internet shame on you
This is deliciously horrible.
Being Business Insider, and the fact it said "appeared to" I was sceptical
Watched the video in the article and ha ha ha aye he's an Uncle Gropey 😂
Fuckin hell you couldn't make it up
The "back off buddy" hand gesture she gives the robot is pretty cute.
The training data
Am woman. This did cause me to smirk & forcefully blow air from my nose.
The highest honour an internet stranger can bestow.
It can be horrific, terrifying and funny all at the same time.
💀
Still has more rights than a woman.
Not a bug, a feature.
yeah they literally outright said "it didn't deviate from expected behavior"
What a future to live in. Don’t suppose people could get a living wage? Right on, just make pervy AI powered robots instead that’ll fix the problems.
