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

Now have it stand on the ground without supports.

Certainly doesn't need a hyoid bone.

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.

Pretty sure I've seen this one in a Silent Hill game

Aren't fluids and gases kinda the same thing in some aspects, just different mass? (Clearly, not a scientist).
-
The major difference is compressibility. Generally, liquids are practically incompressible. So just knowing the mass flow rate and density, volume flow rate can be calculated. It's not so simple for gases
-
First of all: Sorry, I made a mistake yesterday. I ment to say liquid but translated it wrong in my head
Now to your question, they are similar in some aspects, that's what makes gasses and liquids both be considered fluids, so fluid dynamics apply to both for example.
The difference is how much the molecules in the liquid or gas interact: A lot in the liquid, not significantly in most gasses under standard conditions.
And the things is, the SLPM measure apparently relies on a characteristic of ideal gasses, that one mol of gas particles under standard conditions always takes a fixed volume 22.41 l. So now I'm confused why they would use it for hydraulic fluid, which sounds like a liquid to me.

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

Now you're talking!

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.
-
Getting strong RE4 vibes
-
not creepy at all... hey what's that flash disk lying on the table
-
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.

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.

What good is a housekeeping robot if it can't break a cavalry charge?

"Like human"
Yes, like a very, very robotic, unnatural human.
Almost like a robot.
