You must know that our hero, REEM, has to fight against some of the most powerfull villains you can find in a research lab. Memorable battles take place and, even if the good guys are fighting bravely, the enemies are not defeated.
The two nemesis of REEM are:
- The "night reprogrammer": have you ever done something that works at the end of the day and that fails the following day mysteriously? "But... yesterday it was okay! Why does it crash now?". There is only one explanation: the "night reprogrammer". This mysterious figure enters in the lab at night, protected by darkness, and he overwrites our source code with a similar one, that usually fail without reasonable explanation.
- The "super bug": it is the major software bug, that can have catastrophic consequences. It can stay hidden for weeks, but the very same day in which the REEM team has to face an important event, the "super bug" strikes with all his power. There is no unit-test that can stop him, as it usually happens with normal bugs.
Great Post!
Thanks for sharing some behind-the-scenes insights on life inside a robotic lab. It's nice to see some efforts towards transparancy in this otherwise so secretive and mysterious part of the tech universe. I wish you and Reem-B the best of luck and I'm looking forward the follow the evolution of this project. It's nice to see someone who's willing to give Asimo a run for their money! Go Reem-B!

He visto en su website que hay gente de habla hispana en el proyecto lo cual me enorgullece muchisimo. Los felicito y espero sigan adelante con el proyecto. Hay algo que les falto de todas maneras comentar ¿Cual es el precio? Creo que como todos los que hemos visto esta maravilla deseamos tener uno en nuestros hogares aunque dudo que pueda uno tener acceso a un prototipo tal. Les envio mis mas sinceros saludos y mi aliciente para este proyecto

hahaha, that super bug picture makes laugh a lot, and the definition of night reprogammer was pretty funny too!
