The world of AI advances by leaps and bounds these days, and this robot doing pirouettes on an electric motorcycle is, the empirical test, that the thing begins to get interesting in terms of their ability in any field of our lives. Because let’s not fool ourselves, these types of projects are only the tip of the iceberg of what is to come in the future.
As explained by the RAI Institute, specialized in robotics and AI, the robot we see in action, “The ultramobile vehicle (UMV) drives, tour, jump, pirouettes and suddenly stops, which is known as a track stop. All driving, landings, balance and track stops are made by learning by reinforcement. ” This means that it has been trained for it.
A robot that could become the next Toni Bou?
The reality is that this experiment is one of the many that are carried out in the aforementioned Institute. There they are “trained” based on artificial intelligence systems to end up doing things like the ones they do in this video.
Of course, more than one is to think that it will be the following, and if we will see Robots competing with humans for victory in some disciplines such as the Trial World Championship. Can you imagine a legend like Toni Bou playing the title with a robot like that of the video?
Perhaps more than one seems pure fiction, but in fact a fact of this type is every day closer to being able to happen. Because although they sell us that robots will have the mission of serving us, either in labor or medical terms for example, the reality is that no one can guarantee that this goes out of hand and the situation ends up reversing.
Perhaps Marvin Minsky, a German mathematician and father of AI, was right when, in 1970, we threw us out of: “When computers take control, we may not recover it. We will survive according to your whim. With luck they will decide to stay as pets. ”
We do not know if this will happen, although we can already say that a robot knows how to do pirouettes autonomously, as if it were Bou.
