The coolest robot I've ever built!

Thanks everyone for such wonderful feedback—I'm really blown away by the comments here! I'm already working on what comes next. Many of you have asked how you can support the channel (thank you!), so I'm including a link to my Patreon page here: patreon.com/workshopnation Thank you, thank you, thank you for watching! Onward to the next project!

I'm freeeeee

"it wasn't just a world of computers, it was a world of computer creatures" genuinely stunning

I've seen many AI entities like Ameca that try their hardest to imitate the human form. But there's something about the simplicity and unusual-ness of this one that gives it so much character. Especially the oscilloscope "mouth" interface and exposed eyes. It seems odd, but it also seems more... trusting like this. A lack of a complete face and it's visual vulnerability genuinely makes it seem less threatening or deceptive as there's little to hide; at least appearance wise.

"Sorry I forgot about you, Tobor." "Are you kidding? You just saved me! I'm freeeeee!"

My god, it's been a long time since i did watch a video fully without skipping parts, the entire video was amazing, no sponsors, no fake or overcomplicated stuff, no epileptic montage, just raw passion and skill at it simplest form, a very nice breath of fresh air from the usual YouTube content, thank you

The production of this episode is that of a 5M+ channel. wth Thomas. Splendid

This is why Codsworth is such a loved companion in fallout 4. He’s just a fun guy who trash talks in a classy accent while mowing down raiders, he gives off similar vibes to this little guy.

This feels like something in a sci-fi movie! Imagine: the characters find found footage of the early development of their now highly advanced and intelligent robot friend, and he gets to watch the old videos of his creator building him. As he watches, he’s moved… he was to young at the time to appreciate how much his creator loved him, but now, after all he’s been through and learned, he can understand and appreciate this, joy. Silently, he watches the last clips of the video play, and he blinks rapidly a few times. If he had tear ducts, he might have even cried. Quietly he whispers to the ghost of a man he’d learned too late how to love, “thank you, father”

"I want a machine that feels like a character in the story of our lives". That right there, that's it. You've hit the nail on the head sir.

i for real thought that the robot was CGI when i first saw it. the eyes were so uncannily human-like, fast, and responsive. it's creepy as hell in a beautiful way somehow.

If a woman named Sarah Connor shows up at your door one day.. .... ..run.

that eye movement is alive, it was the lacking part of all the humanoid robots that ever build. u have surpassed the uncanny valley congrats

6:13 It's fascinating how a pair of gray balls can feel so lifelike just because they're acting like human eyes. As soon as the eyes opened, that assembly felt "alive" to me.

noisy, jittery, speaker hum.. It's not a bug, it's aesthetics!

'' Yes Thomas I'm the coolest thing you've ever built '' , such an amazing structure , a combination of art and smart engineering. Congrats to you for building such an amazing robot and congrats to me for finding your channel

I was half expecting the robot to answer your query of "Do you hear me?" with just.. screaming. And never stop screaming. In absolute existential crisis. Maybe I am just messed up.

In a world where you skip through videos to get to the ending, I found myself watching every second of this well thought out and entertaining program.

This may seem like nothing more than a cool project, but one day in the not-so-distant future, the first time scientists ask a computer if it can hear them, and get a genuine response in return, will be the turning point for both humanity and technology, and I cannot wait. For whatever reason, hearing 'Yes, I can hear you', and 'Artificially, maybe, but not in the same way that you're alive.' put a wide smile on my face even though it's just a preset response. One day it won't be a preset response.

I want one!!!!! How much???
