Okay have fun

Dolphins can be trusted, I open it obviously. Maybe I can get some cool dolphin trick videos inside.

In competition, which is the soul of capitalism, it does pay off not to limit oneself with strict ethics or moral rules.

I wonder why slavery, a far more efficient business tactic with no ethical value, no longer exists.

cat always lands on its feet. At least, that's how the adage goes. Karen Liu hopes that in the future, this will be true of robots as well.

To understand the way feline or human behavior during falls might be applied to robot landings, Liu, an associate professor in the School of Interactive Computing (IC) at Georgia Tech, delved into the physics of everything from falling cats to the mid-air orientation of divers and astronauts.
In research presented at the 2014 IEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Liu shared her studies of mid-air orientation and impact behavior in both cats and humans as it applies to reduced impact in falling robots, especially those that one day may be used for search-and-rescue missions in hazardous conditions.
Not only did Liu and her team of Georgia Tech researchers simulate falls, they also studied the impact of landings.
"It's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end," Liu said. "One of the most important factors that determines the damage of the fall is the landing angle."
In their experiments with a small robot consisting of a main body and two symmetric legs with paddles, the team compensated for the fact that a robot cannot move fast enough in a laboratory setting by creating a reduced-gravity environment using a tilted surface similar to an air hockey table outfitted with a leaf blower. Liu along with Jeffrey Bingham, Ravi Haksar, Jeongseok Lee and Jun Ueda, simulated the elements of a long fall and explored the possibility of a "soft roll" landing to reduce impact and damage to the robot.
In their work, the researchers found that a well-designed robot has the "brain" to process the computation necessary to achieve a softer landing, though current motor and servo technology does not allow the hardware to move quickly enough for cat-like impacts. Future research aims at further teaching a robot the skill of orientation and impact, a feat that falling humans cannot achieve but cats perform naturally.
"Most importantly, the human brain cannot compute fast enough to determine the optimal sequence of poses the body needs to reach during a long-distance fall to achieve a safe landing," the researchers note.
"Theoretically, no matter what initial position and initial speed we have, we can precisely control the landing angle by changing our body poses in the air," says Ueda, an associate professor in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. "In practice, however, we have a lot of constraints, like joint limits or muscle strength, that prevent us from changing poses fast enough."
"If we believe that one day we will have the capability to build robots that can do this kind of highly dynamic motion, we also have to teach robots how to fall -- and how to land, safely, from a jump or a relatively high fall," Liu said.

God damn it I don't want that cartoon looking shit.

Horrible. Never playing that Gametype. Faster kill times is not what I want. Halo was fun because it wasn't super twitch, you got into good gun fights and were rewarded if you could land the most headshots. Now we get spray and pray SMGs. Fantastic.

Not a fan of that map either. Hate the design. Prefer the one shown in the original leaks.

I'll still be reasonable and wait until I play the beta.
