But Robot Wars was up front about this use of remote control. The ccp hides it and miss labels them as "robots" which implies self controlling.
Also robot wars was a tv show, this article is pure propaganda lies to make it seem china came up w/ something new that the US and Europe had down 15 years ago or more.
It's not hiding it... It's in the rules.
You're acting like this is one monolithic ccp program, but there are engineering teams from many universities and companies competing here. This is in fact a lot like Robot Wars, it's just a flashy robotics competition, there are a lot of these.
The Chinese government didn't build any of these robots, none of them. They don't have any claim to have invented something new, because they didn't invent anything. What I'm saying is, your complaints don't make any sense.
Don't bash the article before you read it.
Glazing the ccp as these are NOT ROBOTS, they are glorified toys that the rest of the world developed 15 years ago and the ccp thinks they are innovators on stolen tech.
All companies and universities fall under the ccp control, aka the chinese government. So yes they built them. How out of touch are you or are you a shill?
You really want to give the ccp all the credit? Weird. Are you a ccp shill?
So that show we mentioned, robot wars, are those robots? I mean it's right there in the name, but is that just propaganda? These are all manually controlled.
What about that Boston dynamics dog, spot? Is that a robot? Because those can be controlled manually too.
I think you need to adjust your definition of "robot", because you seem to have it wrong.
Reading isn't your strong suit, thats ok considering how education is going these days.
Robot Wars is tv, aka not a government run propaganda campaign.
Boston Dynamics and I quote you
Keyword "CAN" be controlled manually. But still can act on its own as a robot/autonomous.
No I use the definition of robot in spirit of Isaac Asimov.
And the ccp glazer/shill tries to call the person out shitting all over the ccp as a ccp shill. very interesting.
You have the lack of understanding of what a robot is, not me there pal.
