Robot with 1,000 muscles twitches like human while dangling from ceiling

Ummm…. Nobody wants this. Rosie Jetson is the ideal household helper.

A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot's "heart," pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.
As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle.

Someone on reddit had the idea that people working on this thing are probably recording audio logs onto individual USB-sticks, which they then leave scattered all over the facility.

You know, it was super creepy until I got to the video without a soundtrack and found out they sound like farts.

not creepy at all... hey what's that flash disk lying on the table

A humanoid robot can operate in the existing world. It can climb stairs and open a door, for example. A robot on wheels without arms can't do that.
Wouldn't a quadruped be easier? You can stick arms onto a robotic "dog".

Leave it to humans to build a robot for the purpose of lynching it.
We don't deserve Earth.

Yeah, what's up with the music?
Seriously?
"Hey, this thing looks kinda creepy, what's with the creepy music?"

Crabs make even more sense. 6 legs makes climbing stairs even easier. 2 big arms to hold thing and manipulate doors, drawers etc.
Nature keeps making crabs, we should just cut to the chase.

Aren't fluids and gases kinda the same thing in some aspects, just different mass? (Clearly, not a scientist).
A fluid is anything that flows. A box of marbles is a fluid.

You could, but it still has to interact with things at and above human height, like stuff on countertops and high shelves.

While it seems spooky having a whole body twitching, I do appreciate the research being done.
I think we should be excited about these things. Mainly because research like this will lead to better prosthetic limbs for those who need them. We don't need Terminators or Robomaids, but we do need more natural robotic arms and legs for those in need.

Now we can have people twitching while hanging from the ceiling without having to hunt them in back alleys! Progress!
Think of the savings in cleaning supplies!
