But there's no room in a typical parking garage for pick-and-place, so this is the best you can do.
On the other hand, this robot valet is cheap and simple to install, so it can be a good choice for upgrading an existing parking garage.
That's the same hand. HTH, KTHXBYE, HAND
And worse, it can't simply be shoehorned into the existing platform because it's attempting to be a replacement.
The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them.
it's like how Google is asking for others to implement Dart or use their VM, and if nobody's biting on Google's stuff then they certainly won't accept some patchwork Javascript framework that's horribly inefficient.
It is in fact nothing whatsoever like that. This is a technology that you can use right now. And if it becomes highly successful, then it's likely that web browsers will come to look more like it, if not adopt it wholesale.
By the time I trust a robot to suck my dick, it'll probably have a direct neural interface. I just keep thinking about the feeding robot arm mashing the head model in the face. I don't want anything pounding my balls like that.
It's a neat application, but I'm not sure that it's what most of us would think of as a "robot".
Then most of you are idiots, and you should go hang out on the gawker network or similar instead of infesting Slashdot. This is clearly a robot. Maybe it's not a sexy humanoid robot that will suck you off every morning, but it's clearly a robot.
It's also clearly a product with limited utility, because how long is it going to be before cars are all self-driving? The cars will park themselves in the same sort of garages we have now, but they'll surrender to garage control upon arrival. You'll park in the valet zone and hopefully have to acknowledge the control request, and then you'll get out and your car will handle the problem itself.
Robot car parks which are robotic buildings make sense because they can sharply reduce not just the space that the system consumes, but also the time that it takes to park a car. If you watch the video, this system is much, much slower than having self-parking cars, and it saves very little space. But there's no room in a typical parking garage for pick-and-place, so this is the best you can do.
tl;dr: Obviously a robot, obviously not that great, will be obsoleted soon by self-driving cars.

I know we all like to look smart and clever, but I'm starting to think we should just let those comments go unanswered. You're just encouraging ignorance like the above when you coddle it. Instead, stop encouraging the willfully ignorant, let them go find their home at Fox News where they belong.
Either fair elections are important to you, or they aren't. The system you propose is the system we have already (by refusing to consider alternatives) and you will note that your proposal has already been tried and found to be unfair.
If you have an alternate proposal for making elections fair, and letting voices be heard, we're all interested. If all you want to do is complain, why should anyone care?
InoReader lets me do all the same things I did with Reader, with the added bonus of not providing Google more user data.
If you're not using noscript or at least ghostery, the joke's on you. InoReader uses Google Analytics.
And I don't think people would stand for it socially.
Yeah, that's no doubt what people thought here. I bet they thought that education would continue to be useful, too. Both things have the same root cause, government interference. They lied to us about what made you fat for decades, and they did it deliberately. At minimum, they did it to protect the processed foods industry. If you're really into conspiracy theories you might also consider that drugs to control cholesterol were just appearing on the market at that time.
Unicode, so funktionen ert?
Normally I'd disagree with you, because most manufacturers these days buy so many of their parts from 3rd party manufacturers, they're the ones that profit from replacements.
Doesn't matter. They mark the parts up like crazy, and they often have agreements that the parts not be sold by the manufacturer directly for some period, or in some cases, ever. For example, if you need a new PCM for an Audi, you can't just go get one from Bosch. You can either get one from a rebuilder, buy one used, or buy one from an Audi dealer.
I'm not sure how you're going to create an asthetically pleasing multi color 1,000 lumen LED that fits in a standrard lamp using a $10 controller.
I'm talking about the automation, not the lighting itself. And I don't care if it fits into a standard lamp if I make the modifications myself
In the meantime, I'm thinking these look pretty neat if a little expensive
They're a lot expensive. And insecure.
This is basically a waste of time. What they should be doing is working with the browser vendors and standards committees to improve HTML5, not making their own inferior and heavyweight solution to add to the slow-down of the Internet.
Irony: suggesting a waste of time as the antidote for a supposed waste of time. Historically, the way things get into the spec now and not next decade is that someone just does them and the community decides what's good.
I get why I'd want to do it at home, but not why I'd pay someone else to do it. You can get arduinos or whatever around ten bucks, if you're willing to deadbug or make your own boards by one method or another you can do your own automation for pennies on the dollar. And I'd rather use a serial loop than ethernet anyway. sure, I wouldn't implement any security either, but the obscurity of a custom system that's just not on an ethernet would discourage casual attackers, which is about all I would reasonably expect to defeat anyway.
And the Insight is an "aluminum" car - but the engine is still mostly steel.
Well, I sure hope I one day get to the point where I get to enjoy driving it instead of regretting my purchase, but this is why I bought an A8. It's almost all Aluminum, except for subframes. Even where I've seen corrosion on hardware, it's come off easily. On the other hand, I've already had to do two heli-coils on the engine. One of them might have been my fault, but I don't think so. The other I'm quite sure wasn't, I was nowhere near the spec when the threads stripped.
I sure hope this Aluminum F150 kicks off a trend, too, because I'd really like an Aluminum pickup. Most of the nifty modern engines are all-Aluminum now. My F250 is just too heavy for what it does, and it's a 1992 which is kind of a sweet spot (I guess 1993-1997 somewhere is actually best, depending on who you ask) in terms of capabilities and weight.
while something like and F350 is clearly a utilitarian vehicle, a Hummer is simply a loophole to have the taxpayer fund your luxury vehicle.
I wish I knew what percentage of F350s were actually ever used for something you couldn't do with a Tundra or a Taco, but I'll bet you it's pretty goddamned low.
