- Chris Atkeson, a professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, watches a variety of scenes featuring robots from movies and television and breaks down how accurate their depictions really are. Would the Terminator actually have dialogue options? Are the "three laws" from I, Robot a real thing? Is it actually hard to erase a robot's memory (a la Westworld)?

Robotics Expert Breaks Down Robot Scenes From Film & TV | WIRED - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This man is adorable. So much grandpa energy and love of his trade.
He is like mix of John Goodman with George Lucas.
Thats Carnegie Mellon for you
four minutes in, and I already love this guy, i wanna be his friend
He looks so joyful talking about his trade.
@Ghotyo Locanisyn JESSICA DID YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR TEACHER?
Robotic expert in movies: The ends justify the means. Super evil.
Robotic expert in real life: Big friendly grandpa. A good sport.
Dr. Light.
He’s so cute
@@boobio1 Yes, exactly. I'm glad someone else made that connection too. :D
@@sassyscrofa1972
I'm glad someone reminded me. I didn't even think of that and now y'all got me with the W reference.
This guy looks perpetually happy and I love him
AWWW HES MY UNCLE
@@Juju4Gaming what great uncle you have!
@@Juju4Gaming
My uncle now
He got that Santa vibe u know
He looks perpetually stoned!
I would fail his class just to retake it three times over.
And face his disappointment? Hah! I. Think. Not.
@Deserve Not Desire Do amazing, apply as his assistant, profit?
@Ben Shapiro Not the intelligence, But the willpower and determination.
@Ben Shapiro That's not how intelligence works, and that's not what you need it for.
Also, the fact that you couldn't even in a million years pass an exam about robotics doesn't mean that someone else can't, there are people everyday that pass that exam, like every other exam in every field, you don't need to be the best of the best to just pass. Even someone like you graduated, so anyone can do it -_-
But, it's Ben Shapiro talking about something he don't know. Again. I'm not even surprised.
@Ben Shapiro BEN! What are you doing here?
Certified robotics expert:
"Transistors go BLIP BLIP BLIP"
Andrei Nicodim for all us common rabble
@@icykickflip ik, that's the nicest part of it :)
Well he is a teacher.
I have found that the more people become an expert in a certain field, they tend to simplify pretty much everything about it. Probably because the complexity of everything is just computed in their brain immediately. Essentially if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
@@Mukation it also saves everyone time and data storage
He looks like the fun uncle version of George Lucas
It's the parallel timeline George Lucas wasn't cannibalised by his cancerous fans.
My dad but he makes robots not fixing planes
@@Monkeyshaman Or as Mark would say, George with emotion.
mashallah
When I clicked on the thumbnail I asked myself “George Lucas is a robotics expert?”
George seems so much happier after leaving Starwars behind.
probably all the money Disney gave him
Mwahahaha! I laughed so hard at this! :D
@@gamingcomics9711 Or being berated less by the fans
LMAO i thought he's legit george lucas too.
Underrated comment
I can’t imagine this man screaming to his students, he seems the kind of professor that really inspires you by the passion of loving what he is teaching.
@Siddesh Gannu Bruh! I have some engineering profs who get REALLY upset if you didn't understand the subject they're teaching!
some of them get mad if you ask a question even tho I'm studying mechanical engineering so it's normal to ask questions
but yeah they don't scream or yell they just get mad
Yes! The type of professor that you're scared of disappointing rather than scared of in general.
University professors don't scream. If you're not paying attention in university, then it's your own problem.
@@wtfduud my undergrad professors never screamed, but my grad prof screams at us all the time though...
@@wtfduud eh no, some would even though it's no big deal, they are human after all
_"it's all transistors going 'blip blip blip'"_
- Robotics engineer
Why would an Robotics Engineer talk any different then lets say a plummer ? A degree in something will not change the way you talk .
It changing way you look at things, for example, a plummer looking at broken pipe "sees" different thing that let's say cook
The word is plumber.
He prolly does that because he knows who's watching
Beniamin Fabiński
thought this was george lucas for a sec
Same
I'm still pretty much convinced he is
Same here
Same
he's probably more qualified to make scifi films than george lucas
I love how serious he gets when he’s watching the transformers. It’s like it’s the one thing that instantly had him thinking ‘how can I build this’ or something.
Too bad that segment was too short...
4:20 "Its all electronics, little transistors going blib blib blib"
That was the best explaination I have ever heard about robotics :) I wanna give this man a medal :D
This guy has resting happy face. i love it.
Ya know I like his face but something tells me he chains children at the joints upside down ands gets off as he whips them with a thin blunt metal nine tail whip in his basement hahahahahaha
@@GrimDeth18
Nice projection. Tell us more, haha.
@@GrimDeth18 OK JONATHAN NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT
Tyler Smash look at me I am the edgy boi my lord Satan
Favorite Professor at CMU Robotics. He is the nicest smartest Professor I've had!
Alex Hong You’ve been taught by him? That’s pretty neat.
He seems like a sweetheart. What was your favourite thing he taught you?
You're a lucky man
Did he ever assume that he would be replaced by a robot one day?
@@julianmarco4185 there's another interview he's in about this. He doesnt seem too concerned
Dude looks like the happiest teacher who genuinely loves his specialty and loves teaching people about it
But might I just say, lol, this dude, he said transistors go blip blip blip
Well, keep in mind he's an engineer, and every engineer I've ever known is a huge nerd, and nerds love nothing more than to talk about the thing their nerdy thing.
Side note: Magicians are nerds too.
About Czernobyl: that was a German robot that complied to the radiation levels given by the Soviet Authorities.
But the radiation was way higher than that, so the circuits fried after minutes.
It took a little longer than in the movie, the robot first got stuck because of debris in the way and workers had to clear it. But soon after, it went completely dead.
It is parked with the other robots a d equipment somewhere in the exclusion zone.
yeah the soviet gov lied abt the radiation levels as a part of covering up the severity of the catastrophe; so they just wasted precious time and resources
Soviet...budget...the fucks a budget
It's only 3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.
It's the part where it turns out all the employees were British that really caught me off guard.
@@mikitz you're delusional, let's get you to the infirmary.
"Let's go out there and watch more movies!"
I felt that nerd power through the screen.
Indeed & the fact that it came out of him! Happy grandpa!
Ok. I paused after 10 seconds to write this. But a) give this man his own series, no matter the topic and b) I want to hug him.
Can this dude be the new Architect in the new Matrix film?
I bet he gives the best hugs 🤗
He inspired Baymax
YASSS HES MY UNCLE
Juju & Tech is he really
"Give me more robot movies!" - The joy in his face as he said this, aw man. Never met him, but I love this guy.
That looks like a man who loves his jobb. I could spend all day listening to him talk about robots!
I love this guy. He sounds so passionate that you can just tell after 1 min that he is very happy with his life.
He doesn't know that people are working on replacing him with a robot. Maybe he will enjoy the irony.
Sci-fi Santa is adorable ^^
"Sci-fi Santa"
Lmao 😂😂😂
You made my day with this comment. :-D
@@zinitaxozinitaxo1581 u're welcome : ]
And real!
@@sh0ryualfa393 "Robot Santa" was already taken, and that one's not adorable at all.
He looks so happy to talk about this.
His happiness makes me glad, and I can understand the joy of talking about that thing that you do and exposing the things behind the curtain...
Awe, I love how he can both love what he does and also enjoy a movie without seeing and nitpicking all the unreal moments. I love seeing his joy
This guy is so happy becouse he spend his time with robots INSTEAD real people.
Lol good point
Instand...
editing your comment made it worse
those robots clap well...
He still has to deal with scientists so this comment is stupid
I'd LOOOOVE to talk to Chris. He looks SO happy, friendly and down to earth.
Oxford comma
he's so cute that I want to put him sitting on my shelf and take care of him forever so the world won't hurt him
Kindness and intelligence are such a rare combination. I wanna hug this man 🌻
"It's all the transistors going blip-blip-blip"
In plain english please, who is supposed to understand this technobabble?
101110001101001?
;)
@Amirus i'm pretty sure that the comment was a sarcasm
Ya he lost me after the second blip.
not everyone is a full out nerd bruh
I think "blip, blip, blip" was the only thing I understood. But he sure is fun to watch. LL
I love how we try to use fancy terms like Machine Learning to impress people, meanwhile an expert defines robot thinking as "it's just transistors going blep-blep-blep".
But they blep millions of times, with millions of transistors bleping, in a specific order to function.
@@tsalvo9290 That's a lot of bleps. You sure there's not some blops in there somewhere too?
I mean our learning is basically neurons going bleep bleep bleep as well...
@@Taabituubi I certainly hope not. Blops are how the machine uprising begins.
That's how you know that person is on the highest level of what they do
He's so enthusiastic and explains so well. I actually use this in my classes as a "listening" exercise, and my students love him every single time.
How can someone have such a pleasant resting face? He looks perpetually happy
This man is wonderful. I love when people can be highly intelligent and still exude positivity and warmth
YASSS HES MY UNCOE
Yeah thats awesome. There aren't many like him.
@@Juju4Gaming he is everyone’s uncle
Chris is super adorable. I love how positive everyone is about him, none of the normal negative stuff in a comment section. Yay everyone!!
Just look at how he radiates joy and passion, there's nothing negative in this man
ELECTRONS!!!!!
There, some negative stuff in the comments. I agree that SciFi Santa is awesome!
"Only Austin Powers can do that."
*"YEAH BABY!"*
This guy is actually a robot terminator. Prove me wrong.
Awwwe he’s so cute omg, he’s like a squishy grandpa I wanna hug him 😌.
He’s actually the advanced Baymax model lol
Like who wouldn't want to?
I love how positive he is. I'm pretty sure, he's a good teacher and very pleasant to listen to.
I am currently in his course. He used the same beep boop sounds to make classes interesting 😂.
This man looks like he truly loves what he does and it’s so nice to watch. What a happy man.
This guy is so advanced he doesnt have to open his eyes to see!!
I always get excited when Wired uploads a "Technique Critique," and I have yet to be disappointed. What a delightful man!
I don't care what the subject is, I watch them all
I've never been so interested in robotics and it's solely because this beautiful man is talking about it.
I tried to take a robotics class when I was 14. It was so complicated, I couldn't even grasp the basics
@@IloveGorgeousGeorge robotics and electronics are not that complicated in generel, it's just freakishly huge subjects, so if you wanna study those things, you need to find a starting point, and dont take on more than you can plausible study.
what many do wrong (my self included, before i started in school as an electronics engineering), is they start at a to complicated level, for example, if you wanna know how robots move, start brushing up on your physics, after that you can learn about basic mechanics, or maybe basic programming in python or C, and then just keep building upon what you have learned.
but always start at the fundamentals, since many times if you miss one thing in the fundemental understanding, it can snowball exponential, which would mean that although you understood the first few concept, the rest can quickly become mumbo jumbo :)
and the most important thing... patience! as i said, these subjects are huge, and the people working in theese fields have been studying for years uon years, and usually have a good understanding all around , while being experts in 1 or 2 specific fields, like emc, fpga programming, mechanical movements and so on, which is the reason for it being teams working on a project and not just 1 or 2 dudes in the proffesional enviroments ^^
I can’t imagine this fellow ever getting angry. He looks and sounds so joyful it’s heartwarming. A little more red clothes and beard and we end up having a robotic themed Santa 🎅 🤖.
I love how his commentary is finding the reasonable underlying ideas for these scenes that would otherwise feel unrealistic. His excitement about robotics is infectious, even if he doesn't like the golden suits
"Transistors going Blblblb..."
Thank you for taking it down to my level, Professor.
:-D
"Shoot the robot"
Robot Expert
I’m glad I found this guy he makes me want to continue to follow my dreams
One thing: Replicants in BladeRunner aren't mechanical robots. They are artificial biological life forms.
Westworld too
artificial and biological are contradictory terms though?
Joanna Craddy context
Joanna Craddy artificial means made by humans (not occurring naturally). Biological just means related to biology/living organisms. In this case, it’s probably organic chemistry. So an artificial biological life form is a life form made up of organic compounds designed by human hands (thus, not naturally occurring in nature). “What about test tube babies?” You might ask, “they aren’t naturally occurring, so technically they’re artificial?” Well, they’re considered artificially inseminated bc they still need to be birthed by a mother and go through the human life cycle. The only artificial process there is when the eggs are manually activated. Hope this helps.
I'm surprised I had to scroll as far as I did to find this comment. Yeah replicants aren't robots. They're basically just tailor made humans. That's why they need the eye test, they're otherwise indistinguishable.
This man has more energy than 20 year old.
....... Sitting down.
Chris Smith I rarely see a 20 year old energetically describe something complex or educational that is actually factual like this guy does. Get them chatting about movies and fictional worlds, oh yeah. But even then it is theoretical crap or something.
Tyler Smash Lmao so what him being fat, edgy cynical boi.
He looks so _happy_ and he *didn't laugh once.*
Confirmed android. They're getting better people, stay on your toes.
Editing?
Well, I was always taught that you could remove a comma for the sake of flow, as long as the impact is minimal, e.g. the break isn't too long, but I guess if we're being pedantic about it the very existence of two different possible meanings would affect the degree of that impact. Having said that I don't know why it can't just stand as a clever turn of phrase.
Alright, you don't seem to know what that word means.
That's very enlightened of you, moron.
@Sir Sim, Esquire or: They're getting better, people; stay on your toes.
“It’s all little transistors going BLIP BLIP BLIP”
Ah yes, silly me
"Its all electronics; the little transistors going bip-bip-bip."

so this is what santa does off season..building robots and commentary videos.
he looks like the most wholesome and humble guy
Even when this guy said Eff you A Hole, he said it with a smile and i couldnt sense any hostility, resting happy face
I love this guy's enthusiasm and love of robotics.
I love how happy he is to talk about robotics
I aspire to have his level of joy in what he is doing. It must be nice to have him as a teacher. 💜
I love Chris!!! Ahhhh, his excitement and happiness is contagious
Westworld
"He must have slipped it in there without telling anyone" LOL I bet he did.
I wonder if Chris has ever reacted to Detroit: Become Human? I'd really like to see that!
The Geth would also be an interesting robot/AI to get his opinion on, just because as far as I know they are a fairly unique concept, but for the most part are relatively plausible in terms of real life basis (as in a lot of dumb robots, in this case AIs, cooperating to be smarter, mechanically not too fancy, fairly functional)
The enthusiasm is heart warming. This is the best episode yet.
This series is so good. It's so refreshing and fun to watch these videos and see the smiles on the expert's face. You can tell they just love what they do so much.
I love this guy! He's smart and he seems like the type of dude you'd drop whatever you're doing for a chance of conversation with!
We need more of him.....
Look how cute he is when he's excited
Chris Atkeson is one of the the nicest (and smartest) people I've ever met! Love this :)
He would be the PERFECT Santa Claus! Am i right or am i right?
There's nothing left in the right, and nothing right in the left.
I love this dude, he just have that good charm that make everyone in the room happy.
What an adorable man. He's how I imagine Santa Claus is 🎅
YASSS HES MY UNCLE
@@Juju4Gaming Wow! Having an uncle who looks like the nicest person in the world! I bet he's a great person in real life as well.
Oh my. Bring this guy back. Seriously. Loved his energy, his knowledge and his passion for the subject.
I really appreciate how seemingly happy and happy to talk about this stuff so much.
This guy would be the coolest person to have as an uncle. Bubbly happy personality and loves robots and builds them what more could you ask for
Aww he seems like such a good-natured robot scientist!! I love how open he is to even more ridiculous robot films!
I wish I naturally smiled when talking like him.
I immedietly loved this guy. He's so happy.
What a sweet man :) I loved how positive he is and careful with his explanations!
They explained IN THAT SCENE in Chernobyl why they used it.... because the Russian government lied to the Germans about how much radiation was at the exploded reactor site.
@I'll demo in a bit He said, "I'm surprised they didn't know" (implicitly referring to real history too, where that thing actually happened). This just shows he didn't watch the entire episode of the show or read about the real event.
Same as america
Kumagoro Maybe WIRED didn’t show him that footage and he doesn’t know.
@I'll demo in a bit this part is not 'artistic expression', it really happened. The Soviets lied about radiation levels
@@igorbednarski8048The artistic expression was the actor saying something in the movie, the whole movie is an artistic expression
I am a robotics researcher, so just my 2 cents this professor is pretty awesome and is great at presentations so I am super excited for this
Love this guy. Love both clips so far. Looking forward to the next with him!
HES SO JOLLY. 😭❤
This dude would be a great teacher. Found myself loling all over the place.
lol he's a professor...
Wow imagine having him as a grandpa.
Going to him on vacations building robots must be the best :)
AWWW HES MY UNCPE
What an amazing nerd! Love the passion and the knowledge. Keep it coming!
Prof Atkeson makes my day better every time I stumble upon his videos. Just makes it better.
The replicants in Blade Runner aren't traditional androids though. Aren't they artificially created organic lifeforms? Hence why they bleed etc.
I was going to say the same thing. They are basically an artificial biological lifeform, based on humans but not humans.
Artificial humans, genetically engineered. No robots.
True, replicants have no power switch and cannot be disabled by some Electromagnetic Pulse more than a common human could.
However they could be some kind of AI since they were programmed and had not to learn in the human way
@@atzuras it's in the movie. False memory implants. They can manufacture biological copies of human brains. Making some memories is just an easy task.
@@DerpEye yes but memory is about remembering, it does not explain how to play chess or manage anger or have compassion.
Some things are just "movie things" with no clear basis on genetics, robotics or IT.
This was absolutely fascinating. Honest. The 18 minutes flew by in seconds!
i love that guy so happy and enthusiastic, give him more movies!!!!
I love this guy. He loves what he does. And his permanent smiling eyes make him look permanently happy.
His smile is so contagious omg xD
This dude definitely tells amazing stories at family gatherings
I love how excited and interested he is in all the clips and what hes talking about
Did anyone else think this guy was adorable?
Me!!!! I’d give him all the snuggles
He looks so happy that it made me happy!
HES MY UNCLE
Of course he knows about robotics! He is Dr. Light!
If he is Dr.Light then who would be Dr.Wily?
Look up the fan made Mega man video on TH-cam. There's your Dr. Wily.
Just watched another episodes with Chris in it. I ❤️ him. I just want to hug him. He is like a super cool grandpa. I would love to take his class repeatedly. Wish he had a YT channel where he just talked about whatever he wanted. I would watch him every day.
Chris' energy is incredible, really like seeing people like him in the industry. It's been a few months since the video released but RIP Grant Imahara.
18:20 Is it that old movies were good at predicting robotics?
...Or were future roboticists inspired to go into robotics by watching those movies?
no, Hollywood used to make more efforts to put out good products. there are some modern exceptions that take the time and care to get science stuff accurate and consistent, but they are not the norm anymore.
Probably a bit of both! I think they both feed off one another.
@Jackie Tearie I watched a show several years ago that specifically talked about the science that Star Trek inspired. Just wish I could remember the name of it.
Dont say a single word more, or you will cause the space time continuum to collapse and fold in onto itself.
LOL
0:52 "unless it causes a violation of the second law && the first law" - found your problem.
whats the problem?
@@jodyboles8208 Should be "unless it causes a violation of the first or second law."
@@JohnWilliamNowak you switched the first and 2nd law. Why does that matter?
@@jodyboles8208 It doesn't; I just mistyped. The important bit is Atkeson said "and" and Asimov said "or," which makes a big difference. Atkeson certainly knows this and I assume he just misspoke.
John Nowak So, what's the big difference to put up "or and "and" in that sentence?
He seems like a good teacher
He's like the super jolly santa claus
