Hey. Hey.
Hey, thanks for clicking through.
If you wanna make sure you get the full GMM experience everyday
click the thumbnail with the green border
to watch from the begins.
All right, today we're seeing if you can judge a book by its cover,
and by that I mean can Link figure out
what a robot does just by looking at it.
- Okay. - If he gets at least three right,
he gets to pick his favorite robot from earlier,
whichever one you want you can take it home.
- Okay. - If not, I get to pick my favorite.
Ooh!
The robot judging begins in T-minus right now!
( mimicking beeping )
Link, say hello to Fabio.
Hello, Fabi-- where is--
- Is he here? - It's a picture.
- Link:
Is it A, he assisted customers at a grocery store,
but scared people when he gave out too much sausage.
B, he provided security at a nursing home
until some romance novel programming caused him
-
Rhett:
to get into the bathroom at Chipotle.
- Oh, man. - All the codes.
All the codes, all the time.
Well, he's got an iPad there.
So that gives me a sense of scale
that this is a small robot.
I also see in the background that there's some sort of--
it looks like he's in a grocery store, it's kinda blurred out.
I'm gonna take that as a hint
that A, he's giving away too much sausage at a grocery mart.
Yeah, our blur job really didn't--
didn't work too well.
Gotta get a better blur job next time.
Bad blur job is better than no blur job.
You're right, the answer is A.
Fabio is a shop bot prototype,
who got fired after giving people vague directions
like telling them, "Alcohol is in the alcohol section."
All true.
And giving way too much sausage to people.
- Sausage away. - Yes.
- Giving it away? - Yeah, yeah.
Well, like most robots he's in the pocket of big sausage.
I get it.
Okay. Okay.
Here's another robot.
What's going on with this guy?
Link:
Rhett:
A security robot for unsupervised children
who accidentally gave them moldy snacks.
B, this is Knightscope.
A security robot for a high-end mall
who accidentally ran over a two-year-old child.
- Link:
This is Horoscope.
A security robot for the home
who accidentally allowed a Scorpio to enter someone's home
while Mercury was in retrograde.
What's the deal with this robot, Link?
Well, it looks like a rocket, man.
This is like Space X for the home.
That's not an option, is it?
It's got a blue light on.
I'm gonna go with a security robot.
You're right, Link! It's B!
- Ran over a two-year-old? - The Knightscope security robot
has made the news for, yes, savagely mowing down a child
who was ultimately fine,
getting easily knocked over by a raucous, drunk man,
and most notably sacrificing itself by diving head first
into the mall water fountain.
Here is the photo of that sad incident.
Link: ( laughs ) It looks like the Apollo 13 landing.
He flew too close to the PacSun.
Oh, Rhett, your jokes make me happy.
Here's a robot--
Hey, you're two for two, Link.
Maybe you should go into robotics.
I wouldn't fit.
Rhett:
A, it was built to be a humanoid laboratory
and domestic assistant like Igor, but in "The Jetsons."
B, it was built to inspect and move around highly contagious,
infectious diseases like"The Hot Zone,"
but in "The Jetsons."
Or C, it's just a Shake Weight that can use itself.
It-- yeah. It's an--
It's a Shake Weight that's not weighted equally.
- Yeah. - Man.
Contagious diseases or lab assistant.
It's kinda the same thing, man.
A and B.
I'm gonna say A and B.
You gotta have an answer.
Fine, I will go with contagious, infectious disease.
Wrong! It's A.
MoRo was developed by a Chinese robotics company
for education research and "domestic assistance."
And is able to pick up bottled water and tissue paper for you
when you need to hydrate after crying a lot
because you've gotten too wealthy
and alienated yourself from your family
and the only person to comfort you is an unfinished slave robot.
I hope to be that one day.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I will have known that I made it.
Well, and for $50 it'll kill your Roomba and make it look like an accident.
Question four.
This glowing, 10 feet tall,
black box of a robot costs $16,000.
Hold on. That's a wall.
- Rhett:
Rhett:
B, it folds laundry.
Or C, it beckons you ominously to approach
then asks you, "Do these glowing doors make me look fat?"
It does look like IKEA bedroom cabinetry, closetry.
- Mm-hmm. - With like a--
with like ground effects.
Ground effects, that's right.
How could it fold laundry?
With what?
It's gotta be a chess bot.
Chess bot?
No, Link, it does fold laundry.
- Wow. - It's the Laundroid.
It doesn't wash or dry your clothes,
but it will fold them.
You drop a pile in the bin, and one by one,
spending five minutes on each piece of clothing
the machine will eventually fold them all
up to 50 pieces of clothes.
Does it put in the right drawers?
Because that's the part that kills me!
No, you have to open it back up
and it's got all of the stuff nicely packed for you.
I go in my kids' room there
and there's just, like, towers of folded clothes that--
it's like this goes in places, kids!
Yeah, well, one word of caution
if you leave any change in your pocket
when you put your pants in the robot,
it will use it to buy heroin on the dark web.
Whoa.
That's--
I'm no longer being made happy by your jokes.
Look at this scary robot!
-
Rhett:
B, it won The National Battle Bots Championship
by fighting with its spinning claws.
Or C, it can make sweet love to three tiny stairs.
Oh, gosh.
How did you make that image pornographic?
That's just not right, man!
Digs space dirt on the space tundra.
That's my answer.
- Really? You sure? - Yeah.
And it's upside down in that photo.
You're right, Link! This is RASSOR,
which stands for Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot.
- I knew that. - It's built to dig on Mars,
collect dirt samples,
but could also potentially mine deep into Mars' surface
and may find much needed water there.
'Cause we need the water from Mars.
But the most important thing, Link, you got three out of five.
You're a winner. Pick your favorite robot.
Bring that one in, because it comes down to either, um,
the doggy dog or--
I mean, what Simone said was her winner.
This one is too utilitarian for me.
I wanna have some fun with this dog,
because I wanna see how much it's gonna drive Jade nuts.
I'm gonna take this.
I'll take the arm for myself.
This is for me.
