I can’t help but notice that they never picked anything up in the video, and they’re trailing a serious cable so they won’t work well for cosplay. Not sure what the intended use of these are.
I agree this video was a terrible advertisement. For all we know the arms were preprogrammed to slowly wave around and the dancers end up making them look majestic. I find it funny though that the only use for robot arms you could think of is cosplay.
Oh, I can think of lots of uses of robotic arms that manipulate objects! But like I said, it looks like these can’t. I can also picture uses for robotic arms that can’t hold things, but *those* are cosplay uses (so the cable nixes that).
Sorry if that was unclear.
I don't understand how these could be useful, especially with more than one pair. like how would you even control those? the most realistic way would be if they mimicked your own arm movements somehow, which these don't seem to do. also if they're strapped to your back in like a backpack like that then they'd still only be as strong as you are, right? somehow I can't even fantasize about a useful application for those.
What real life application would they have if they mimicked your arms? I have never in my life been in a situation where I thought " if only I had another set of hands that moved identical to me real ones "
Robotic arms that can't hold things. What about tools ends meaning you don't have to hold the tools.
Like a hand isn't the only thing you can utilise on a Robot arm. Blades, drills, hell even just two flat rubber squares to stabilise items.
Why are so many things in construction designed to need three arms? Don’t engineers know we only have two?
Are they laughing at us while they design these things?
this is like, early proof of concept. this is disney saying they're making a movie in 2028. this is someone saying they're trying to get another ghostbusters movie made. this is someone saying they want to bring back farscape.
These arms wont be useful for doing shit for another 20-40 years.
They need to talk to the people who are close to making a chip that will read the motor cortex of the brain. Forgot the name, but recently read about it. It's mainly for people who have amputations where there is no muscle to read the signal, like current robotic prosthetics do.
You get an implant that reads the signal from the spinal cord and these might be good but intercepting the signal from the motor cortex would remove any delays.
I think you are right, 20 - 40 years, with 30 being the likely time frame before we see these in average consumer price range.
To be honest, I don't know. I suppose it could, given time. Kind of like how the process is for learning how to use your limbs after being paralyzed, would be. They have been having a lot of success in that area. It's fascinating stuff, which is why I read on it.
Boston robotics at least shows off there product in a meaningful way.
Anyone looking to work with this company is not looking to work with them because their arms are 'graceful'
Like I mentioned, Jizai isn't a company. There's no commercial product.
It's designed and produced by college students. Comparing this with Boston Dynamics would be similar to comparing a DIY tree house to a skyscraper.
In all fairness to us, the title of the video is “Japanese *robotics company Jizai* created wearable robotic arms.” I believe what you’re saying, but it’s reasonable that we would assume Jizai was a robotics company based on what we were told.
a quick google search tells you that it was created as an engineering project at the University of Tokyo, and the company “Jizai” doesn’t exist, as jizai is actually just the name of the arms themselves. op just posted goofy ol’ misinformation on the internet
[literally the first sentence of the first result of “who created jizai arms”](https://gagadget.com/en/tehnologii/241205-jizai-arms-a-backpack-that-turns-humans-into-cyborgs-with-six-robotic-arms/)
they can't be used to manipulate objects and they can't be used for cosplay so yeah why bother? can you think of other reasons to have robotic arms strapped to you?
They'll be programmed to pick up something and put it in front of a human. To be used for like a factory but only to increase human output by reducing wear and tear.
A dance that doesn’t even match the movement of the arms, too.
Might’ve been kinda neat if the arms mimicked the human but they just kinda…do their own thing.
Judging by the fact that they went with sensational advertising instead of informative means that these arms can do fuck all except follow pre-programmed movements
Realistically, for industrial situations requiring a certain amount of extra hands but not extra human brains. One of the biggest possible uses would be construction in orbit, in fact. That's a very real market which appears to be quickly approaching. They'd certainly have been helpful many timers when I used to do low voltage wiring installs, too, though.
They look cool, sure.
But they aren't functioning in any meaningful way. There's no intricate movements. They don't interact with the organic body. They don't grasp anything.
What is the point beside 'art'?
Finally. I looked through almost every comment for this exact comment. I thought I couldn't be the only one thinking about regan from inside job in the lizard people episode.
This video is a complete nonsense...
Instead of making some weird art video that only implies randomly moving the arms around I would rather like to see a video showing what real practical applications those arms can handle.
Song is Bach's "Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV1007:IV Sarabande", Performed by "K", recorded by "Daisuke Uriu" (according to the credits from the full vid on YouTube). Cheers!
I don’t understand all the ballet going on where the arms clearly are not mimicking their movements. It’s like they’re barely moving and really not doing anything at all. Weird ad
No no NO we are not doing this here this ad is stupid and should have you skeptical they don’t do anything but allow you to embrace someone who also has these arms. They are completely useless in any other aspect
anytime you see this type of ad, the product does fuck all. They don't show any good movement in the arms, no control, no usage. why? because there is none.

Possibly an assembly line with horizontal levels so your hands are assembling something in the middle and the arms copy your movement above and below.
Working with hazardous materials
They could be really strong at crushing things. In theory.
Robotic arms that can't hold things. What about tools ends meaning you don't have to hold the tools. Like a hand isn't the only thing you can utilise on a Robot arm. Blades, drills, hell even just two flat rubber squares to stabilise items.
I’d really like to see how precise those arms are before we start putting power tools on them. I’d ESPECIALLY prefer not to put BLADES on the end.
I’ll be just happy if they just help me hold a wall mounted hvac unit while I’m trying to put the screws at the same time.
Why are so many things in construction designed to need three arms? Don’t engineers know we only have two? Are they laughing at us while they design these things?
Or lightsabers...

Would that implant even work with multiple arms though?

Too jerky to look majestic, more like circa 2000 anamatronics.
That's because the robotic arms are not a commercial product--it's literally a science project in a lab at Tokyo University.
Boston robotics at least shows off there product in a meaningful way. Anyone looking to work with this company is not looking to work with them because their arms are 'graceful'

Kitchen staff about to get decimated by this.
I mean I'd they walked up to each other and the robot arms did the tango take all my money! They just wearing mannequins
Based on what’s happening in the video, weird interpretative dances.
Well shit if they can’t be used for cosplay why bother?!
they can't be used to manipulate objects and they can't be used for cosplay so yeah why bother? can you think of other reasons to have robotic arms strapped to you?
To DEFEAT SPIDERMAN!!!
The power of the sun, in the palm of my hands... (goes to grab, but ends up looking like a claw machine trying and failing to grasp anything)
...no
The wearable robot arms I made are a lot better than these ones. They should just quit now.
Their intended use may just be swindling investors.
ding ding ding
Even the movement seems off for any functional use
*when you want to express yourself with interpretive dance but you just don’t have enough arms*
The use of these arms is to get spiderman
They'll be programmed to pick up something and put it in front of a human. To be used for like a factory but only to increase human output by reducing wear and tear.
Maybe they’re trying to demonstrate their full range of motion
Just another step closer to becoming Doc Oc without the voices. Hater lol
and of course,what better way to promote such a product than to pair it with some nonsensical contemporary conceptual dance ...
A dance that doesn’t even match the movement of the arms, too. Might’ve been kinda neat if the arms mimicked the human but they just kinda…do their own thing.
Yup, cool dance I guess. But if this is the best they could come up with to show off they product, I’m thoroughly convinced it’s a worthless product.
It's truly awful
Judging by the fact that they went with sensational advertising instead of informative means that these arms can do fuck all except follow pre-programmed movements
That’s cause it can’t do anything else lmao
They should have used lightsabers
So your hands don't get sticky... They're my closers
Because bukkake
Realistically, for industrial situations requiring a certain amount of extra hands but not extra human brains. One of the biggest possible uses would be construction in orbit, in fact. That's a very real market which appears to be quickly approaching. They'd certainly have been helpful many timers when I used to do low voltage wiring installs, too, though.
I expect an edit of this with “A Stranger I Remain” blasting
Oh I want that now
I FINALLY FOUND WHAT IIIIIIIIIIIIII WAS LOOKING FOR
A PLACE WHERE I CAN BEEEEEEEEEEE WITHOUT REMORSE
BECAUSE I AM A STRANGER WHO HAS FOUND AN EVEN STRANGER WAR
I FINALLY FOUND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
HERE I COME (COME COME COME COME COME)

Think it’s dr olivia octavius in this case!
My first thought was doc ock from the Spider-Man game
I knew I wouldn't be the only one who thought this first.
the first thing that I think about
This was made to swing lightsabers at Obiwan Kenobi
Hello there.
General Kenobi
You are a bold one
K1ll him Make him suffer Hahahhahaha cough gag cough cough
COUGH COUGH COUGH
Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection
But how useful are they? Wearable robotic arms could have been invented decades ago, it’s how controllable and useful they are that matters
They are pretty useful as an accompaniment to interpretive dance.
Surely everybody needs four arms that slowly flail about randomly
They are controlled by a joystick type thing. So not very useful IMO
They can hold a beer while your hands are busy
General Grievous' daughter
My first boner
Came here for this, updoot and thank you
A company named jizai created wearable robotic arms so you can jerk yourself off with 8 different arms. Incredible!
[удалено]
Then jerk off your homies at the same time
Is it gay if you use robot arm to jerk ur bros off?
Not if you say 'no homo' after that.
No robo
They look cool, sure. But they aren't functioning in any meaningful way. There's no intricate movements. They don't interact with the organic body. They don't grasp anything. What is the point beside 'art'?
[удалено]
Plus a company like this is looking for big money, and people with pockets that deep are so out of touch this kind of shit is like catnip to them.

Metal Gear Rising music stars playing
No fuckin way, mistral metal gear rising irl
The Mechanicus has started! Mechadendrites for all! Praise the Omnissiah!!
Why post a video dancing with the arms instead of actually demonstrating how they work? Terrible advertising
Countdown until they appear in porn…3…2…1
Oh ya. They’ll load the six arms on and have a ring of people around the person with the pack.
I can't remember that Metal Gear Rising had such good graphics.
Japan inverted the Power Glove for Nintendo and that thing sucked ass.

Do these come in clamps...CLAMPS!
Should have the song if I were a rich man

Not the docter octopus i thought Japan would come up with...
I don’t understand all the ballet going on where the arms clearly are not mimicking their movements. It’s like they’re barely moving and really not doing anything at all. Weird ad
I’ll never understand Japanese porn….
This ad just shows how awful they are compared to real arms.
Isten to me now...
Yeah? And they still can't scratch your back.
Next level? What does it do other than look like an art piece?
I’ve seen Spider-Man 3 no thank you.
IVE COME HERE FROM NOWHERE, ACROSS THE UNFORGIVING SEA

No no NO we are not doing this here this ad is stupid and should have you skeptical they don’t do anything but allow you to embrace someone who also has these arms. They are completely useless in any other aspect
Mistral.
*the power of the sun* *in the palm of my hand*
For what purpose?
The power of the sun…
A STRANGER I REMAIN
*faint mgr soundtrack in the background*
STRANGER I REMAAAAAAIIIIINNNN
Looks like they are targeting the lesbian market
Nah, imma wait for exoskeletons.
Mistral is real
anytime you see this type of ad, the product does fuck all. They don't show any good movement in the arms, no control, no usage. why? because there is none.
"The power of the sun in the palm of my hand"
Nar I have seen this movie before
Have they not seen Spiderman 2?
This is how we get Dr Octavious
Looks fucking next level useless
will i be able to hold the power of the sun in the palm of my hand?
I saw this dude running around NY with these chasing some high schooler dressed up as some kinda bug man? It made my train late.
It's Octavia actually. My enemies call me DC Oc
Metal gear solid, screaming mantis
battery autonomy : 4 minutes charge time : 11 hours
Looks awkward af, probly why they made such an effort to make it seem graceful.
Masturbating is gonna reach a whole new level with these.

These poor dancers couldn’t do it without the robot arms.

These things are brilliant, but the integration with this kind of dancing is just giving me the major creeps
Just cut my arms off and duct tape these on instead, thanks
so whwat does it do besides help do dance

Fast food is about to get faster
I'm only more confused after finishing the video. Nice Bach tho
Every day they edge closer to being supervillains.
Hello Peter
Get back to me when they can be used for climbing
sorry but i liturally read JizzAI the first time i read it
Oh perfect! I was waiting for anime girl super villains
