>>15041425

No, it isn't. Not only are there plenty of inventions with no real use every year, there are plenty with actual use that just don't get used because the tried method is more cost effective in the short term or just has greater market recognition. The mecanum wheel up a few posts was invented 40+ years ago. Most people have still never heard of it, because travelling forward or backwards on rubber is cheaper, at least right now, and good enough that no-one besides a few engineers is really looking for something more. I could invent a supersonic fart. Just because I invented it doesn't make it useful.
>>
>>15041432
>mecanum wheel
>The US Navy bought the patent from Ilon and put researchers to work on it in the 1980s in Panama City. The US Navy has used it for transporting items around ships. In 1997, Airtrax Incorporated and several other companies each paid the US Navy $2,500 for rights to the technology, including old drawings of how the motors and controllers worked, to build an omnidirectional forklift truck that could maneuver in tight spaces such as the deck of an aircraft carrier. These vehicles are now in production.

Are you saying that if we found a way to make lethal supersonic farts (with no recoil) that it wouldn't have any impact on any other technology - ever?

Because if your point is that "mecha can't exist because it doesn't exist because it can't exist" then that's just circular logic. If the motors in monster trucks can innovate, why wouldn't the motors in mecha? Or stabilizers? Hydraulics? AI? Whatever else? Why wouldn't any of that innovate even if the mecha itself is totally useless?

>>15041464

I was saying that not everything that's invented is useful, but perhaps I should say that one bad example doesn't disprove a point (though I'm personally delighted to see it seeing use since they're cool as hell). Tell me, how much use has the military made of jetpacks? They've had those since the 50s. How about flying cars? Those have been around since the 70s, even if only by strapping a set of detachable wings to a car for the prototypes. How much use do they make of monowheels? Those are more than a century old. How many flying aircraft carriers do we have? How many ball tanks? How much use is made of screw tanks?

What about materials? How much use has pykrete seen in reality? How about smaller weapons, like LED incapacitators?

And if you want, you could also look to inventions with clear advantages that just haven't seen much use. Like maglev technology. There's half a dozen active maglev trains in the world, despite having numerous advantages compared to traditional trains. And the most probable reason is simply because the upfront cost is higher, even if the maintenance cost is lower.

A lot of those inventions are good only for entertainment. Which is quite probably all that a giant robot will be good for. Giant being an operative word there.

>>15041621

I've no idea how you came to the conclusion that saying "just because you can invent something doesn't automatically make it useful or good" is equivalent to saying "it's impossible to invent something that doesn't exist" or "it's impossible to find use for individual components or advances in an overall technology". To clarify though, no, I wasn't saying that it can't be invented, since it quite clearly can - only that inventing it doesn't automatically make it useful. And while you can obviously find innovations in the components, that doesn't mean the actual invention itself is useful.

Remember when moot said /m/ was one of the best boards? Oh how things have changed.
>>
>>15042941

The thing is, mechanical animals/bots have fairly clear advantages if you can make them good enough in that they could work harder, last longer, are easier to control and less likely to cause problems. And being able to offload some of the weight burden that's becoming an issue for soldiers using something smaller than a car but more controllable than a horse has advantages too. Replacing one mechanical vehicle with another has less obvious advantages. So just going acting like someone is denying the future by questioning it's use is fairly simplistic.

There's nothing circular about those posts actually, unless you're just wildly misunderstanding the meaning of the word. Questioning the usefulness of something is not circular logic.

Needs waist articulation to help the hips not sway side to side as much when walking.
>>
That's not bipedal locomotion: that's bipositation.

Basically, true bipedal walking means your upper half knocks you off balance and then to move forwards, all you have to propel is your lower half and as a result you're more stable and you spend less energy.

In running stances, you actually achieve this motion through rotary stabilization: by being off balance and then correcting that off balance posture so it is stabilized as a constant through time just like how fly by wire works with planes.

This robot unfortunately lacks proper bipedal motion and lacks a spine to channel stepping force or perform hip stabilization on all three axis properly so its motions are exaggerated which make it unstable to begin with.

tl;dr: It will always walk like its shit itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsIz8xn3srI

It will never ever run because by definition its technically not actually walking. They just lift and drop themselves in rhythm and can't work outside of that rhythm.
>>
>>15042993

I agree, this will also increase the sex appeal of the walk cycle by several hundred percent.

How many flying aircraft carriers do we have? How many ball tanks? How much use is made of screw tanks?

The thing with prototypes, that you mentioned, is that they are meant to test if a concept can be applied into the wider use. If they pass that stage then, after all of it's inner workings and prototype stage flaws are corrected and the design itself improved, it's ready to be sold and used. It takes different amounts of time to properly develop some stuff.

With different times come different needs. Some materials and tech developed nowadays might not be useful at this very moment, but as times change new solutions will be required to make the world going. At that time past inventions might find their use in the future.
>>
>>15043030

> It takes different amounts of time to properly develop some stuff.

A lot of that stuff has been completely dropped. It's not just that they're not yet out of the prototype stage, it's that they've stopped trying to do even prototypes because they proved completely worthless. Not to mention that most of those aren't even prototypes and became more than prototypes long ago, like jetpacks, screw tanks and monowheel.

> With different times comes different needs

This is true. That doesn't mean that everything that doesn't have use now will have use in the future. A lot of it just gets forgotten and will never have use. A lot of the time those different needs mean technology means even further beyond those inventions. Like hot air balloons will never have military application again in a world with jets, helicopters etc.

https://youtu.be/tJVYtrRuX84

A company called Hajime Robot developed something similar fairly recently. It isnt as sleek, but at least they have footage of it walking with a person inside it, virtually unassisted.
>>
>>15043030
The next important factor of a passing time, when it comes to technology, is that older machines(cars using gas for example) are slowly, but surely, being exchanged for newer ones(electric cars). With time older tech and materials that might still be useful, will become obsolete. At first it's not that cost effective, but materials improve over time so that will have no meaning in not too distant future.
>>
>>15043063

This still isn't addressing that there have been working models, not prototypes, working, cost effective models of concepts like jetpacks, monowheels and screw tanks with decades and that they're simply not very useful. It's not that they're simply prototypes, or too expensive or materially insufficient in some way - they're just not useful. The jetpack might see use in the future when paired with better engines or fuels to improve jump time and distance, but the monowheel, the ball tank, the screw tank, pykrete and other stuff never will because they're just not that useful compared to existing stuff. They're cool. They're even fun for entertainment purposes in some cases (the monowheel for example), but they never found a niche, couldn't compete with contemporary technology and have been left behind. And they're never not going to be left behind because the problem isn't technology, it's lack of use.
>>
>>15043078
Jetpacks as such will never see widespread use for the simple reason that very few people can be trusted to fly such a thing without killing themselves or others. The idea basically boils down to "Fly with as little plane as physically possible" which is completely anathema to any notion of safety.

I think the closest we might come to that is more or less strapping a person to a flying robot, with only some of the control resting in the hands of the person, the bulk of it, if not all of it, handled by the robot.

The author of said invention wouldn't make it if he thought that it wouldn't be useful. If there's a better stuff used to do a certain task or if the task that the author made his invention for is really restricted and won't find any wider use then that's the fault of the invention. Remember, usefulness can be found in anything, even though it might not find a wider use.
Captain Obvious here to save the day
>>
>>15043102

Not entirely true, since some people invent using blue sky thinking, that inventing is often it's own cause and reward and there's no explicit niche or use needed. They might imagine a possible use during the course of events, but the use isn't needed to justify the process. And just because they imagine a use for the invention, doesn't mean it'll particularly excel at that use, either on it's own or in comparison to other methods.

The difference is of course that a plane is useful and expensive enough that it's worthwhile to have an entire class of workers whose entire job is to operate a single aircraft.

Planes, guns, and cars are around and in the latter two cases, available to any idiot, because they are not only fairly safe when used competently, they also do something useful enough to warrant their existence.

What is a jetpack for, that couldn't be done cheaper and safer through other means? What warrants carrying one around all the time that you aren't flying? What warrants the years of training it takes to be able to fly with (founded) confidence?

I understand the appeal is the achievement of man's ancient dream of gaining the absolute freedom of flying, alone and unencumbered, like a bird. But I bet the second some idiot runs out of fuel and crashes through someone's roof, you'll be swamped in so many lawyers that you'd never be free of 'em even at your maximum theoretical service ceiling.

Not really. It looks fairly clumsy compared to the Asimo. They may have rushed ahead of Japan in creating a piloted biped, but between the Asimo and the Kuratas it's more like Korea's playing catch-up. Also 13 feet isn't exactly "giant robot" scale. First piloted walking biped still deserves credit, of course, but a Scopedog sized Robotjox is a long way from being a Gundam (fingers crossed for 2020 olympics...)

Jetpacks can find their use in military operations for example, if they are quiet enough, which will eventually happen. Why would you need to carry one with yourself? Use it to fly to work leave it at a parking lot and after you are done with your work go back for it and fly home. Something like that. Why do you say it would take years to train to be able to fly with it? It's not rocket science or flying a jet.I believe you have seen those ''jetpacks'' attached to a jet ski propelled by pressurized water? At first it might be difficult to catch your balance, but after a few tries you get what's what and where and you can fly.

>I understand the appeal is the achievement of man's ancient dream of gaining the absolute freedom of flying, alone and unencumbered, like a bird. But I bet the second some idiot runs out of fuel and crashes through someone's roof, you'll be swamped in so many lawyers that you'd never be free of 'em even at your maximum theoretical service ceiling.

Freedom of flight is one of the main reasons for developing jetpacks. As for the idiots using them. Usage of jetpacks, if/when they become common will be controlled by law an I imagine that there will be flight paths set and sophisticated controls to prevent any kind of accidents.

We'll need neurohelmets and myomer motors.

Cheers to this guy. He is one of the truest /m/en I have heard about. Let his work be blessed with success.

They are working on MB's hands here:

That is still more practical than the Kuratas or METHOD-1.
>>
>>15044715
You've basically got a 4x4 or at most a light tank with little armour, no room for crew, weapons or cargo, that's vertical and thus taller, that's putting more ground pressure down and will have a harder time moving through terrain than conventional vehicles.

>>15044715
Doesn't it need to be bigger to carry extra fuel or support for the large reactor?
>>15044725
Darpa has tech for wirelessly controlling a single arm
Can't this be made to control multiple flying objects through quantum communication?

Northrop Grunman is making 100KW beam bending lasers by 2019 for Air superiority fighters

Mostly, it's more adaptable and flexible than a backhoe and requires a lot less training to use.

You might not be able to dig as fast as an excavator or shove dirt around like a buldozer but you can do both while standing in 5 feet of water and maneuvering around 3 foot thick trees. Since the controls are basically motion capture (waldos actually but nobody uses that term anymore) you just have to get used to the size rather than memorizing a half dozen levers.

Is it just me or is this basically the AMP suit?

With more expensive and less efficient.
>>
>>15044974
If you're talking about that shit from avatar, yes.

Shit needs some light, really beefy rotaries to power it and really fucking fast hydraulics or pneumatics, and new legs/lower torso.

They've almost fucking got this shit though. Next they should work on ground mapping.
>>
>>15039940

All it can do is slowly shuffle across the floor I have $1 wind up toys that do that lol
>>
>>15045020
Arguably less expensive depending on power requirements. The frame seems much lighter than a bulldozer. Nobody has put a price tag on METHOD-1 yet.
>>
>>15045035
Silly anon. It moves like that because it's only a prototype.
>>
>>15041230
Actually, the big tires work against larger trucks as the shear size of the tire upshifts the torque to near useless levels.

Some monster trucks actually need to use orbit gears to downshift the power to something usable.
>>
>>15045035
It's not shuffling. It is however moving so slowly that it has to completely balance over the points of contact at all times. I put that entirely on the actuators and powerplant.
>>
>>15045035
It can also wave it's arms around. Can't forget the arms.
>>
>>15044796

Also the interior is upholstered like an early 2000s Toyota Camry.

Luckily life doesn't look completely like Gundam.
>>
>>15039940
Because Japan is busy with making the 1:1 Gundam move.

That shit is baby mode compared to making the Gundam move.
>>
>>15045964
At least Method-1 at it's current stage can do more than that gundam will ever be able to do.
>>
>>15040801
Dunno

>>15039940
Pity it's fake.
