A Robot Teaches Me Boxing — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:03yep that's me I've been learning boxing
2. 0:05recently and aside from the brain damage
3. 0:06it's it's going pretty good I've been a
4. 0:08little slow to pick it up maybe on
5. 0:10account of of all the brain damage but
6. 0:11we have more important questions to ask
7. 0:13like where am I why am I learning to box
8. 0:15and where am I a couple months ago idbs
9. 0:17asked me if I wanted to be part of this
10. 0:19boxing tournament thing called crater
11. 0:21Clash no no I don't is what I thought in
12. 0:24my head but for a second the surrealness
13. 0:26of the situation overwhelmed me I've
14. 0:28been watching idub since I was in like
15. 0:30middle school and he was asking me to do
16. 0:32a boxing tournament it may as well have
17. 0:34been like a mass hallucination for all I
18. 0:36was aware and I I I just said yes so I'm
19. 0:40uh guess I'm doing it uh the only
20. 0:41problem is I am really really really bad
21. 0:44at boxing so don't know what I'm going
22. 0:47to do about
23. 0:55that this is what we're going to use
24. 0:57it's called a t unit it's meant to treat
25. 0:59like pain and old people but if you
26. 1:00crank it all the way
27. 1:03up it makes you involuntarily Flex
28. 1:05whatever muscles it's attached to so let
29. 1:07me show you how we're going to use it if
30. 1:08you look a single tense unit can't do
31. 1:10much it can only really make you move
32. 1:12one muscle at a time but if I strap a
33. 1:14whole bunch of them to different arm
34. 1:15muscles and activate them at just the
35. 1:16right times it will force me to punch so
36. 1:18I can train for my boxing match without
37. 1:20even thinking about it so first we got
38. 1:22to figure out how to control these guys
39. 1:23with the computer because the way it
40. 1:24normally works is you twist these little
41. 1:26TENS unit uh nipples with your fingers
42. 1:28but we can't just have someone standing
43. 1:29here doing doing that the whole time so
44. 1:30let's take it apart and see how it works
45. 1:32it turns out that what's under the dials
46. 1:34is not nipples but potentiometers the
47. 1:36nipples of electronics the way these
48. 1:38guys work is they limit the flow of
49. 1:39electricity going through them based on
50. 1:41how much you turn this little dial it's
51. 1:43kind of like a like a sink the more you
52. 1:45turn the faucet on the more electrons
53. 1:47can flow through the pipes now you might
54. 1:48be wondering how that potentiometer
55. 1:50works with the rest of the circuit as a
56. 1:51whole I don't [ __ ] know I didn't go
57. 1:53to school for electrical engineering I
58. 1:55didn't go to school for anything that's
59. 1:57where this guy comes in this is a
60. 1:58digital potenti does the same thing a
61. 2:01potentiometer does but you can control
62. 2:02it with code and Bing Bang Boom now we
63. 2:05should be able to control the T unit
64. 2:06with a shitty bitty piece of software
65. 2:08that just says to turn the resistance
66. 2:09way down oh God that's so
67. 2:16weird I'm not moving my well I am moving
68. 2:18my arm but like I'm not trying to move
69. 2:20my arm oh what were we doing boxing
70. 2:22boxing right The Next Step was to
71. 2:24research the bio kinematics of the human
72. 2:26body so that I could program the tens
73. 2:28units to train me for my fight which
74. 2:30muscles are used when should they be
75. 2:31activated to answer this we'll study
76. 2:33anatomy physiology and oh never mind
77. 2:35turns out you just have to shock
78. 2:37yourself all over your body testing
79. 2:38different muscles and write down what
80. 2:40happens these are the four muscles you
81. 2:42need for a punch all right so bicep
82. 2:43first you know get the arm up and then
83. 2:46deltoid to bring your shoulder into the
84. 2:48mix but you can't just be doing that you
85. 2:49got to mix in the pack so it brings the
86. 2:51arm in like that right Prime punching
87. 2:53position then you cancel bicep I turn it
88. 2:56up on accident you cancel bicep and then
89. 2:58hit him with the tricep and
90. 3:00bang ah and it looks like that it looks
91. 3:03like that's a that's a punch that's whoa
92. 3:05slow down there bucko are you turning
93. 3:07the dials manually that's a bit cringe
94. 3:09isn't it come on guy let's write some
95. 3:11code to automate that it'll be easy
96. 3:13start with a little user interface just
97. 3:15somewhere to customize the timings of
98. 3:16your moves that was easy right it only
99. 3:18took six six days took a little longer
100. 3:20than expected that's okay but this is
101. 3:21going to need a back end like a server
102. 3:23to talk to the front end a little
103. 3:24Library up here a little post request
104. 3:26down here now you need another server to
105. 3:28process those moves This Server will
106. 3:29live on the Raspberry Pi and control the
107. 3:31outputs of the T units based on the Move
108. 3:33data that it gets from the other server
109. 3:35but then of course you need another
110. 3:36piece of software to control all of this
111. 3:38stuff right so the client connects to
112. 3:39the T control server and then the T
113. 3:40control
114. 3:44server all right everything's hooked up
115. 3:46let's see if it
116. 3:47[Music]
117. 3:49works what what oh the tricep and bicep
118. 3:53were firing at the same time so instead
119. 3:55of like doing this or this it was just
120. 3:57locking the arm and the muscles were
121. 3:59trying to pull themselves off of my
122. 4:01bones so we'll make it not do that
123. 4:03please
124. 4:05[Music]
125. 4:09work holy [ __ ] did you see that oh that
126. 4:14almost went to the [ __ ] bag must have
127. 4:16been 5 or 6 km an hour
128. 4:20look yes yes yes this is so [ __ ]
129. 4:25stupid I'm going to be a boxing guy I'm
130. 4:28going to [ __ ] lose what the [ __ ] am I
131. 4:31saying little asthma for you a little
132. 4:34Joi if you know what I mean all right I
133. 4:36hooked up this Xbox controller to be
134. 4:37able to control me and I've been working
135. 4:39on this like Rockham sakam robot type
136. 4:40game for like a visual indicator so when
137. 4:42the guy punches in the game
138. 4:44it punches in real life but then that
139. 4:46got me thinking it would be better for
140. 4:47my training if I was fighting someone
141. 4:49like in Rockham sck robots and it would
142. 4:51be cool if you could move the players
143. 4:52forward and backwards with the
144. 4:53controller like in rock sck robots but
145. 4:55for that we would need two humaniz
146. 4:57moving platforms on a rail system like
147. 4:59this one I built I could explain how the
148. 5:00Pistons and electronics work but the
149. 5:02video is getting kind of boring so
150. 5:03controller press joystick on controller
151. 5:08make now realistically we'll have
152. 5:11someone else controlling us cuz our arm
153. 5:13is going to be scrapped and we're going
154. 5:14to be punching oh hard I'm going to
155. 5:16invite some friends over to test this
156. 5:18thing out I'll probably have to lie to
157. 5:19them about what it is who's gullible
158. 5:21enough to believe
159. 5:24[Music]
160. 5:26me Jesus Christ I said it was a boxing
161. 5:29robot you are the boxing robot it's you
162. 5:32oh hey guys we're going to have to strap
163. 5:34a lot of wires on you how do you make
164. 5:38worst case scenario you step down here
165. 5:40and it slices her Achilles but that's
166. 5:42right don't do that you guys are going
167. 5:44first I'm so excited good above the
168. 5:47chest is like not good cuz he'll heart
169. 5:50he'll heart which side's the heart on
170. 5:52left
171. 5:53D yeah yeah that's probably fine and I
172. 5:56think you're ready um [ __ ] yeah yeah
173. 5:59dude okay uh controls jab is a and your
174. 6:02heavy attack is B does the heavy attack
175. 6:04hurt them more when you use it I don't
176. 6:06know okay movement is your left analog
177. 6:09stick this yeah so you're
178. 6:20controlling oh my God the [ __ ] seat
179. 6:23belt
180. 6:23exploded I don't think I've ever seen a
181. 6:26seat explode like that before you guys
182. 6:28ready to do some punch yeah you guys
183. 6:30ready to train you got to train for
184. 6:31boxing right you can just start fighting
185. 6:33we like ease them in one of you just hit
186. 6:41a good or bad I mean it was like I was
187. 6:44possessed sure are you ready for a power
188. 6:47attack three 2
189. 6:531 things are really heating up in the
190. 6:56FTX Arena brought to you by [ __ ] FaZe
191. 6:58Clan and usero I did a thing versus boy
192. 7:01boy who will come out on top 3 2 1
193. 7:17fight the machine is working perfectly I
194. 7:21I think this is the best day of my
195. 7:23life all right all right pause right
196. 7:26dude we should make a safe word I
197. 7:28realized we should make a safe word 1 go
198. 7:30and yeah there are a couple things to
199. 7:31work out but that's how Innovation is
200. 7:32done you're looking at the future of
201. 7:34boxing a this one's really close
202. 7:36actually I can't believe how well
203. 7:40it how do you feel how do you feel about
204. 7:42your boxing form I liked my left thought
205. 7:44you did well on the left you land some
206. 7:45good head shot I feel like a boxer feel
207. 7:48like a boxer see that's what I'm saying
208. 7:50you don't even need to focus on your
209. 7:51form when someone else can do it for you
210. 7:53I I would like to get off this thing
211. 7:55though just with the machine working
212. 7:57better than I ever hoped it was time for
213. 7:58me to try it out not being strapped in
214. 8:00it's still incredibly dangerous I'm
215. 8:01going to try the controller who wants me
216. 8:03and who wants Michael I don't want
217. 8:05Michael [ __ ] Dam n come on yeah that
218. 8:09was good offense on that yeah right
219. 8:11attack it no dick shot dick shot go for
220. 8:14a spear attack I'm going for a a for
221. 8:16heavy attack yeah and listen the
222. 8:18controller is awesome but weirdly they
223. 8:19wanted to stop so it's my turn next
224. 8:21ready for my boxing training I think
225. 8:23it's smart to have a larger opponent so
226. 8:24that you're ready for your
227. 8:27match what you you press it twice
228. 8:31it's hard to describe what this feels
229. 8:32like it's kind of like a 100 bees
230. 8:34working together to control your arm
231. 8:36which is what I assume boxing feels like
232. 8:39so I think this is good practice for my
233. 8:42fight who who W who won that round holy
234. 8:45[ __ ] I'm going to go Lim you got great
235. 8:47form there Michael this is looking
236. 8:48really
237. 8:50[Music]
238. 8:52good oh that was my ribs and with my
239. 8:55boxing training nearly complete it's
240. 8:57time to invite over my coach to show him
241. 8:58my progress
242. 9:02what's up this is my coach Michael quick
243. 9:04he's a professional boxer and has been
244. 9:06overseeing my training for the past 5
245. 9:08months but with any luck my machine will
246. 9:10phase out the need for a human coach but
247. 9:12then this will like force your muscles
248. 9:14to come up you know what I
249. 9:19mean clearly terrified of this machine
250. 9:21I'm going to prove its Effectiveness to
251. 9:23my coach by facing my biggest opponent
252. 9:25yet Coach I don't know about this one
253. 9:26coach he's kind of got a lot of height
254. 9:28on me we're going to [ __ ] him up height
255. 9:30doesn't mean [ __ ] height does in fact
256. 9:32mean
257. 9:33[ __ ] what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] we
258. 9:37going for the kill [ __ ] I'm not even
259. 9:40close to it I'm getting the hang of the
260. 9:42controls he was getting a hang of the
261. 9:44controls in fact I'm convinced he forgot
262. 9:46that he wasn't playing a video game oh
263. 9:47[ __ ] you're pressing so many buttons but
264. 9:50then it clicked on
265. 9:54[Music]
266. 10:01it took me 3 hours to edit that do you
267. 10:04think this is a good training mechanism
268. 10:06for
269. 10:11boxers that's right he's so impressed
270. 10:13that he can't even summon words now it's
271. 10:15time to ask him the most important
272. 10:17question of all you think I'm ready for
273. 10:18Creator Clash [ __ ] yeah dude perfect
274. 10:20because at this point Creator Clash was
275. 10:22only 5 days away so I packed my bags
276. 10:24headed to the airport and got on a
277. 10:26flight to Florida
278. 10:29there's supposed to be footage here but
279. 10:31I didn't get any the thought of the
280. 10:32fight was really setting in at this
281. 10:34point I was getting really scared like I
282. 10:36never done anything like that it's like
283. 10:39it just became so real once I landed
284. 10:42that I I just stopped doing stuff and
285. 10:45then I of the fight came up fast ladies
286. 10:46and gentlemen welcome to Sunny Tampa
287. 10:49Florida we're bringing it to you in 2022
288. 10:52for the Creator Clash I wasn't really
289. 10:54talking to anyone I was just sitting and
290. 10:56watching all the other fights on the TV
291. 10:58and that was making it way worse I was
292. 10:59getting really nervous mine was coming
293. 11:01soon so I started getting warmed up I
294. 11:04was fully zoned out like I don't know
295. 11:06what I was thinking it didn't really
296. 11:07matter I was I was up next so they
297. 11:09walked me over to the prep room and I
298. 11:10had to get interviewed and warm up with
299. 11:11a camera and I was just pacing around
300. 11:13the room so much like a goblin how do
301. 11:15you feel I feel better better than a
302. 11:17little earlier some of the other fights
303. 11:19were scary but you know I'm all
304. 11:23right but then the guy came in and he
305. 11:26walked me over to the arena and then it
306. 11:28was time to fight
307. 11:30it's a fine grind clearing out my cash
308. 11:33line speeding up my R time coordinated
309. 11:38light lines if you need to move I
310. 11:41recommend computers they can make you
311. 11:45groove of the new did you
312. 11:51[Music]
313. 12:05scre
314. 12:08T that is the face of someone who never
315. 12:11has to do boxing ever again I was so
316. 12:13[ __ ] glad for it to be over and God
317. 12:15bless my opponent my friend Graham who I
318. 12:16know was just as nervous as I was still
319. 12:18got in the ring and still hit me in the
320. 12:20face a bunch of times also bonus I won
321. 12:22and yeah maybe it's because I had a
322. 12:23Golden Gloves winning coach come over to
323. 12:25my house six times a week and train me
324. 12:26maybe it's because he made me eat
325. 12:27chicken and rice every [ __ ] day maybe
326. 12:29it's because he made me run up a goddamn
327. 12:30mountain every other week or maybe it's
328. 12:32because he's a great coach and a great
329. 12:35friend but I'm pretty sure it's because
330. 12:37of the boxing robot look at this thing
331. 12:39look how [ __ ] sick this thing
332. 12:41looks thanks for watching the video I'm
333. 12:43wearing a mask cuz the garage just
334. 12:44flooded and I'm pretty sure there's mold
335. 12:46growing in the walls I wouldn't worry
336. 12:47about it anyway if you like the video
337. 12:49like it if you didn't dislike it it's
338. 12:51not like we can see those anymore and
339. 12:52thanks again for watching me box I am
340. 12:54done with boxing Forever Until the End
341. 12:56of Eternity but some say Future YouTube
342. 12:58boxers are using this breakthrough
343. 13:00technology to train to practice to
344. 13:02prepare for the next Creator
345. 13:05Clash oh hey didn't see you there I was
346. 13:08just on my way to deliver the best
347. 13:09Christmas present of them all that's
348. 13:11right a sponsorship read to you by a
349. 13:13shitty YouTuber on the internet what's
350. 13:17this wa it's expressvpn have you ever
351. 13:21been on Starbucks Wi-Fi you could be
352. 13:22looking for porn you could not be
353. 13:24looking for porn but you see this it's
354. 13:26[ __ ] mind sweeper but for Wi-Fi
355. 13:28networks but instead of instead of
356. 13:29exploding the mines take your credit
357. 13:30card information these fake Wi-Fi
358. 13:32networks are really easy for an attacker
359. 13:33to set up all it takes is some cheap
360. 13:35equipment and once you connect the
361. 13:36person controlling the network can run a
362. 13:37tax to grab info from you like account
363. 13:39logins passwords credit cards that's why
364. 13:41it helps to have the expressvpn app it
365. 13:43encrypts all of your network traffic so
366. 13:44that you don't have to worry about
367. 13:45anyone seeing your information even if
368. 13:47you're on like a sketchy Wi-Fi network
369. 13:48you just bada bing bada boom bada good
370. 13:51on top of that expressvpn can change
371. 13:52your online location which can give you
372. 13:54access to thousands more TV shows that
373. 13:55aren't allowed in your country so if I
374. 13:57switch to India I can watch season 3 of
375. 13:58demon Slayer which isn't out in the US
376. 14:00yet or I could watch squid games or if I
377. 14:02switch to Japan I can see a bunch more
378. 14:03recent anime or watch squid games or I
379. 14:06could be in Canada and watch archerd
380. 14:08games from Canada watching Netflix
381. 14:10without expressvpn is like hiring a
382. 14:11prostitute but only being allowed to
383. 14:13talk to them all night and you're
384. 14:14already paying full price for Netflix
385. 14:15why not see all it has to offer so if
386. 14:17any of that sounds good to you go to
387. 14:18expressvpn.com Rees to see how you can
388. 14:20get 3 months for free that's the end of
389. 14:23the
390. 14:24video
391. 14:25complication when I feel your air
392. 14:29my body he I want to feel it I must
393. 14:34ignore your
394. 14:37touch got know what what
