Meet Mimus, The Curious Industrial Robot

Рет қаралды 141,604

5 жыл бұрын

Mimus is a giant industrial robot that's curious about the world around her. Unlike in traditional industrial robotics, Mimus has no pre-planned movements: she is programmed with the freedom to explore and roam about her enclosure. Mimus has no eyes, however - she uses sensors embedded in the ceiling to see everyone around her simultaneously. If she finds you interesting, Mimus may come in for a closer look and follow you around. But her attention span is limited: if you stay still for too long, she will get bored and seek out someone else to investigate.

Project Credits:
Mimus was commissioned by The Design Museum in June 2016 for their inaugural exhibition, Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World. She lived at the museum for five months: from November 24th, 2016 to April 23rd, 2017.

This is exactly why I find human-centered robots so fascinating. Especially the actual human interaction with them. The power of empathy is so strong within us that we see emotion in something that is quite literally a pile of nuts and bolds, some copper wire, and a string of 1s and 0s. The robot in the video "sees" with cameras on the ceiling, and realistically just points to what the code identifies as a target. The jitters and small movements it makes are just any inaccuracy in pinpointing a target being adjusted. But our minds interpret this same movement as a living being, and thinks of it as such. It's looking at me, so this circle thing must be its face. When it tilts its head, is it thinking? Is it curious? What does it think of me? Even if we know it's just a robot, we find ourselves thinking this nonetheless. We *know* it's just a robot. but we *_feel_* that it's alive. Such a wild concept to think about. Just by slightly mimicking the quick movements of an animal, we already feel some sort of connection. How will this evolve as robots and the AI or software behind them get more advanced? How will the definition of "sentient" change once we create computers capable of thought processes? Is it possible to recreate sentience? How will we know we've done it? If we don't know how it happens now, by what values will we measure to be able to identify it? Is there such thing as a different type of sentience that we simply cannot comprehend? Such wonderful things contemplate when I should be doing my math homework.

I can see what you are doing. It's what a lot of modern software UI development is doing right now, instead of trying to teach the user how to use your software, we try to use the natural tendencies of users to define what our UI does. How a gesture should imply a specific action, how a specific button is expected to be in a particular location as not to strain thumbs and fingers when using a phone, how an app reacts to a gesture to give the user feedback. I can imagine it would be frustrating to give a hand signal to a robot arm, to have it stay still, do you know it got your command? But having simple feedback as the wrist of the arm nodding, or "looking" at your hand gives natural feedback. It's given me an interesting perspective as a software developer, and it's neat to see the relationship in a more industrial application.

I think a good way to make it appear far more 'alive' would be to soften the jerkiness of the movements, you can practically see it's refresh rate while it's tracking a slow moving person, adding some sway or dampening on the movement accuracy and speed would make it much more lifelike

I like the idea of teaching robots by means other than writing code. But I can also imagine that it's a complex problem. Teaching motions is one thing, but hoomans use other sensory clues to judge what they are doing- does this iteration match the look, sound, feel of previous iterations? How do I know when to stop and ask for help? Can I accept verbal corrections?

@TheNefastor 11 ай бұрын

Interesting, but you're glossing over the most complex and yet absolutely critical aspect of using such robots: safety. A robot this size can kill you in a split second. I see you make sure to never let people within its reach, and this tells me that you're leaving out all the work regarding operating safety. The way I see it, the programming techniques that you use, and the additional hardware like the cameras, absolutely do not lend themselves to implementing intrinsic safety. So in the end, this is just a fun thought experiment, but if it ever turns into something real and useful, it'll have to be implemented completely differently. Or as we say in the engineering profession : it's not impossible, it's just going to be very expensive.

@jessiejanson1528 3 жыл бұрын

Only thing that bothers me about this is that in some scenes the robot seems to have jerky motions where it moves a little bit but is just stopping and starting over and over. This could have been improved if it gradually sped up from one position and slowed down until it got to the other. It would have made it far more life like. The second issue was with its "face" not actually pointing at peoples face, it always seemed to be looking to the side or above someone, which also sort of loses the life like effect. Also, whether it was used or not, i think either sticking a camera on the end of the arm or some kind of face would have helped as well and that wouldnt have taken much effort. I do really like this, but i think a bit more work could have taken it from "good" to "omg is thing thing an AI, is it alive?"
