  • We're gushing with grins and delight at the sight of these adorable animated robots created by artist Alonso Martinez. Sean chats with Alonso to learn how he designed and engineered his family of robots, using processes like 3D printing, mold-making, and silicone casting. They're amazing!

      That's the happiness that money can't buy, close, but that's just genuine and pure joy right there :)

      right? dude was all smiles. So happy that...... a skeptic might assume he was on drugs. However, I'm not that skeptic for once.

    • @diynevala
      @diynevala Před 7 lety +5

      I got a vibe that he is a bit nervous on camera, and he reacts to that situation by laughing. Nothing bad about that! Of course I might be wrong. He seems like an intellingent and a good man!

  • @Demoni696
    @Demoni696 Před 7 lety +3

    THIS ! Tested needs more of THIS ! The problem solving and attention to detail that went into the design and creation of these little robots is inspiring. Thank you for having Alonso on and thank you for doing such an in depth exploration into the creation of his "pets". If possible an follow up episode about the programming that went into the bots would also be very informative.

  • @jaistanley
    @jaistanley Před 7 lety +1

    Bring back Alonso! He's great on camera.. You rarely see anyone that takes so much joy from a hobby. Amazing robots too.. Creative and fun.

  • @jaredlong8383
    @jaredlong8383 Před 7 lety +248

    I think this would be perfect with the Google Assistant built into it

    • @OhNoIguanas
      @OhNoIguanas Před 7 lety +7

      Jared Long I was thinking Alexa support would be awesome.

    • @jaredlong8383
      @jaredlong8383 Před 7 lety +6

      Micro_Squid I personally prefer Google Assistant. I have no problem with Alexa, I just think any Assistant AI would be neat on this.

    • @hellcatdave1
      @hellcatdave1 Před 7 lety +6

      Yeah but it goes against the idea behind these robots.

    • @LeonLucena
      @LeonLucena Před 7 lety +4

      Jared Long yeah men! Take my money!!

    • @sonofhendrix
      @sonofhendrix Před 7 lety +4

      Actually it would be better with something a bit more advanced like the one used in china that people use as a friendship AI, and you can hold a conversation with it. But im sure those AI's are on the way very soon.

    I'd love to see an animated short featuring these little guys. No words. Everything completely communicated through the movement of these adorable personalities.

  • @HermanVonPetri
    @HermanVonPetri Před 7 lety +1

    So these robots are cool, adorable and super creative, plus the custom work he put into teaching himself how to make them is seriously impressive. I already had major respect for him and then the bombshell at the end, "Oh by the way I built one that can jump over a human." !!!!

  • @RichardTingley

    Loved that interview. Alonso's joy shows in his creations and Sean's enthusiasm just complemented it. What a nice gleeful moment.

    This is the best tested video ever. More of these two. They worked well together. Alonso makes me smile in fascination

  • @BenjaminSissel
    @BenjaminSissel Před 5 lety

    What Alonso talks about has always been something I've obsessed over in movies. I love non-verbal characters; Stitch, Toothless, R2, BB8... they have these moments that transcend verbal communication in every way and I really appreciate the awareness and attentiveness he's brought to that.

  • @SleepyPitou

    Sean is killing it with his videos at the moment.These robots are just this guys hobby, like WOW he is amazingly good my mind is blown away by the amount of time he would have spent to perfect the various parts to get them so perfect. I expect he has access to a lot of creative types at his job, but it's still a lot of work to do.

  • @ChrisEllerby
    @ChrisEllerby Před 7 lety

    I'd love to see a bottom eyelid added for more emotion! Like, if it's looking at you and then you look at it, it raises its lower lid. That'd be great. Get on that mass production!

    I wonder if he has ever seen Cosmo? He is one of the best sound communicating robots out there, he is also created by some guys who use to work at pixar, his personality is second to none! His robots are great as well! keep up the good work.

    The servos on the bouncing squishy bot are *Turnigy S3066-HV*.

    I love how much detail you guys went into on this thing. While Adam and Norm often find neat new props or pieces they are very cool and it's great to hear discussion about the various techniques used in it's making, but discussing the programs used for the design (and obviously having a host as knowledgeable as Sean) and the other avenues the conversation took really takes this to another level of nerd-ery and shows the level of dedication to technology itself, instead of being a pop-nerd outlet. Great stuff.

    Ok... I would totally buy one of these. I know a lot of other people have said this, but I'd buy one if all it did was look around, blink, and make the occasional "boop" noise. Just another example of not needing a lot of detail to give something a lot of personality. And there's no possibility for uncanny valley, so that's a win!
