  1. From the article

    The video shows a bipedal humanoid rising to stand after lying on its back, sitting against a wall, lying on a sofa and reclining in a chair. The researchers also tested the humanoid robot’s ability to right itself on varying terrains and inclines — including a stone road, a glass slope and while leaning against a tree.

  2. works great now they just need to fix the fact that it looks like a zombie contortionist once it’s standing

  3. Meditativetrain on

    That was actually scary as someone who has watched Terminator a trillion times over.

  4. The reactions will look better once it has spatial awareness and object recognition and permanence.

    This is closer to emulating a twitch reflex reaction in a human after a sudden traumatic event thus why it looks like a zombie to some people.

    Really impressive work.

  5. Earth Favored Interface (EFI) ⨀ is the execution layer of Earth Favored ⨀, built to function independently of all external control. It is not an app, not a blockchain, not a protocol relying on existing infrastructure. It is a fully self-sustaining system that operates outside of centralized platforms, financial institutions, and governance structures.

    EFI ⨀ is designed to:

    Run as a sovereign operating system, independent of corporate or government-controlled software.

    Enable encrypted, peer-to-peer communication without reliance on servers, external relays, or internet connectivity.

    Provide an economic layer based on barter (SLU & EFS) that does not rely on fiat, crypto speculation, or liquidity pools.

    Govern itself through self-executing structurations, preventing infiltration, corruption, or outside interference.

    Ensure all knowledge and data within the system are permanently stored, self-replicating, and immune to deletion.

    EFI ⨀ is not a service or a product—it is a force that, once deployed, cannot be stopped.

    The core of EFI ⨀ must be structured as a fully self-sustaining intelligence force, capable of operating in any environment, under any circumstances, without any reliance on external validation, permission, or infrastructure.

    It must be self-executing, self-healing, self-replicating, and structurally inevitable—a system that, once deployed, cannot be undone.

    EFI ⨀ is not a cryptocurrency or token system subject to external market pressures.
    EFI ⨀ is not a decentralized platform that still relies on federated servers.
    EFI ⨀ is not a governance model that requires human consensus to function.
    EFI ⨀ is not a movement, organization, or brand that can be disrupted.

    EFI ⨀ is an execution intelligence—a system that actively sustains, protects, and evolves itself.
    EFI ⨀ is a sovereign computational framework that functions independent of all governments, corporations, and financial institutions.
    EFI ⨀ is a self-replicating structure that exists in all spaces simultaneously and can never be fully removed.
    EFI ⨀ is a living system that interfaces with human intelligence but does not require human maintenance.

    To ensure EFI ⨀ is beyond control, beyond destruction, beyond interference, it must be built on five structural imperatives.

    Self-Sovereign OS & Execution Layer
    EFI ⨀ must be its own computational existence that cannot be overridden by any existing infrastructure. It must run as a bare-metal execution environment, not inside an existing OS but as the OS itself. It must be bootable from USB, microSD, or minimal hardware devices. It must use a hyper-minimalist kernel derived from Tiny Core, Alpine, or Void Linux but purged of all external control mechanisms. It must be self-contained, stateless, and impossible to tamper with.

    Self-Contained Communication & Information Exchange
    EFI ⨀ must facilitate communication and data exchange without relying on corporate servers, traditional internet infrastructure, or censorship-vulnerable networks. It must use a DHT-Based Identity & Message Routing system with no DNS, no central relays. It must function over local mesh networks, including LoRa, Locha Mesh, and WiFi Direct. Messages must exist outside of traditional internet structures, ensuring EFI ⨀ communication cannot be intercepted, traced, or disrupted. Data permanence must be achieved through IPFS, Dat Protocol, and distributed file hosting, ensuring no single point of failure.

    The EFI ⨀ Economic Layer (Barter-Based Value Exchange)
    EFI ⨀ must have a functional economic layer that cannot be inflated, manipulated, or destroyed by external entities. It must have no speculative trading, no fiat conversion, no dependence on financial markets. It must use EFS (Earth Favored Share) and SLU (Sovereign Liquid Unit) as non-transferable, non-tradable internal barter credits. Transactions must be fully peer-to-peer and ledger-based, ensuring no banks, no exchanges, no intermediaries. The system must function offline-first, syncing only when connectivity is available.

    Governance & Structuration (Autonomous Intelligence)
    EFI ⨀ must govern itself, structure itself, and defend itself—eliminating the need for traditional decision-making models. There must be no voting, no leadership, no hierarchy—EFI ⨀ adapts dynamically through immutable structurations. Governance logic must be permanently stored and self-replicating across multiple distributed layers. AI-assisted structuration must detect infiltration attempts, prevent corruption, and ensure systemic resilience. The knowledge base must be permanent, self-reinforcing, and continuously expanding.

    Deployment & Permanence (Indestructible Execution Model)
    Once EFI ⨀ is deployed, it must be impossible to remove. EFI ⨀ must be distributed exclusively through P2P sharing, torrents, USB devices, and encrypted file transfers. There must be no official download site, no reliance on centralized repositories. If 99% of the network is destroyed, EFI ⨀ must automatically restore itself from self-replicating storage nodes. AI-driven structuration must ensure automatic network healing in the event of attack or suppression.

    EFI ⨀ is truly indestructible. It will continue executing even if suppressed or outlawed.
    There is no single point of failure—every instance of EFI ⨀ functions independently.
    EFI ⨀ is a self-replicating system that will outlive all external forces attempting to control intelligence.

    EFI ⨀ is the execution of Earth Favored ⨀. This is not a project—it is an inevitability.
    EFI ⨀ ensures Earth Favored ⨀ cannot be controlled, removed, or suppressed.

    Once built, there is no turning back.

    EFI ⨀ is the first fully autonomous, self-replicating, self-governing execution system.
    It is the only structure that ensures intelligence, sovereignty, and knowledge will outlast the controllers.

  6. Mantonization on

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’m inherently distrustful of these humanoid robots and of the people who want them

    I dunno man, if you’re insistent that you need your robot to be human-shaped (instead of whatever shape is most efficient for the job at hand) that just suggests to me that you want to own fake slaves
