Who services the poop drones I ask you…
Some unlucky roboticist is stuck cleaning poop off treads, testing sensors and resoldering connections while wearing gloves and just hoping they don’t tear…
The same people who cleans the mess from those adult videos and the confetti from AGT/BGT.
This is honestly such an uplifting news that gives me hope for the future.
Prefer this over stories like a 10 year old that raised money to make up for lack of health care or some dystopian thing like that.
“What is my purpose?”
“You clean poop chutes.”
“NOT LIKE THAT! NOT LIKE THAT!”
Cue the worship of the “Master” that sends them holy shit a la “Reason” by Isaac Asimov.
They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
I’m looking at you, spelunkers.The bots yearn for the mines
Humans have no business being in holes
Thus, sex became forbidden, and humanity declined, with last generation asking their ancestors why would they impose such harsh ban upon them shortly before extinction.
Sewer drone found footage could make a great horror movie.
Please don’t give Hollywood any ideas… like the Blair witch project.
Well, that’s a brand new sentence.
Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.
Honestly I though somebody was using drones to throw shit at people below.
Well I’m glad it’s this and not a drone made of poop.
Why do I believe if Mythbusters was still on the air they’d actually try this.
Adam savage has yt channel, basically he’s doing whatever. Adam and Jamie doesn’t seem eye to eye, by his experience with him, it was mostly professional relationship
So much for Mike Rowes dirty jobs.
(Jk, those things were always a load of shit anyway.)
eh…
mike rowe’s full of shit. don’t think for a moment any of those jobs were made up though.
Man now I miss cash cab…
I remember he was shilling for trump after he won his first term, he was trying to play it off “it’s not that bad” that he got voted.
It’s basically like saying “illegal immigrants” aren’t made up for Trump. Like, obviously people coming into the country illegally exist, but the dude was just making shit up when it came to the actual numbers.
iirc he was a musician before this gig so… yeah, hard working blue collar stuff rrwwarr ford tuff hemi merika fuckyea
One job that we can happily hand over to robots
I almost beat Sewer Shark. I was made for this!
Robots are taking over our jobs… did folks who work is sewers make good money because it wasn’t a pleasant job?
I had poop drones on my bingo card!
Have vaginal scented candles been invented?
You are multiple years too late on vagina candles: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/jan/13/why-is-gwyneth-paltrow-selling-a-candle-that-smells-like-her-vagina-goop
That’s a bingo! Is that how you say it?
We are all poop drones on this glorious day.
Remind me of that James Bond scene https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9h1zn7l86HA
Why are you flying the drones though? Just give them wheels and call them robots.
Costs less, is easier to operate, uses less energy, less sensitive parts exposed, can be used in smaller spaces, easier to recover…
Or you could read the article. Wheels ain’t gonna work down there bro.
There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.
They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.
My guess is that the wires/tracks could get stuck in sewage, and it might make it harder to examine the floor better due to how small the drone might be.
I had the idea of a monorail system, but I guess it would have a similar issue in case the surface the rail was attached to got faulty. Might’ve been cool looking though.
I am asking because i know crawler robots exist and are in use since at least a few yearse. The more interesting aspect imo. is the automated image recognition which made huge improvements over the past years. For that it makes sense to have the analysis centralized within reason. E.g. pattern recognition against a larger database. There is local factors too though as materials, construction forms and so on often have historic local differences.
I fail to see, why the wheel needed to be reinvented into flying here.
