    Congratulations Professor Vijay kumar and your team for this superb achievement. I have been examiner of graduate projects at various Engineering and Technology Institutes in India and I wish that the project guides take clue from your work to go deeper than "toy" level projects. I admire the math analysis done by your team particularly the 12 D analysis. I wish our Labs in India too take the culture of aiming at excellence and do project planning as meticulously as done by you.

    It is deceptive that he mentioned all those applications which I believe are not the driving force behind such advanced technology. Scary what governments can do when employing such technology against its own citizens.

    • @Digiscat
      @Digiscat 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Except it probably is their driving force. Just because it's capable of being used for bad things doesn't mean that those bad things are the reason for it being made.
      People, time and time again, have driven their government back down if they collectively felt it was doing a specific thing incorrectly. If the government ever advanced this technology and uses it poorly, it will get thoroughly destroyed by hackers, engineers, and generic patriotic people alike.

Sure lots of inventions are misused, but arent inherently evil. Don't stunt enginuity or hate on it just because you feel like today the government is trying to steal from you.
      Don't criminilize the engineer for a crime he isn't committing. If you want to make anyone look like the bad guy, how about the people you are so sure are going to use this against you.

    • @sparkloweb

    3. Write the algorithm.
    4. Run tests.

    Therefore,
    3 positions x 3 rotations x 2 relationships =18 relationships
    18 relationships x 6 time derivatives =108 derivatives.
    That is set for just one instruction.
    Prof. Vijay mentioned 600 instructions / second = 64,800 instructions / second.
    40 robots x 100 communications / second = 4,000 communications / second.
    Thus, 64,800 x 4,000 = 2,59,200,000 floating data points aka 'computational cloud'.
