Our whole crew got together to celebrate the start of what we hope will be a happier year: Happy New Year from all of us at Boston Dynamics. www.BostonDynamics.com.
The craziest thing to me though is how there's no cables running to the units, all of the processing is being performed by the unit itself. That's just absolutely wild.
I dunno, this is all fantastic and everything, really, _but,_ did you happen to notice there are no humans around? And there's a big glass bulletproof wall, so like, nobody gets hurt if parts start flying off?
You can see the reflections of 1 or 2 cameramen in the windows if you watch it closely and two guys is clearly sitting on the ground in the background in one of the "scenes"
Little sobering when you find out Boston Dynamics was spawned from MIT purchased by Google then was sold to the Japanese holding company SoftBank. Hyundai Motors is looking to buy next. This is the fun side of the robot. I'd hate to someday seen the not so fun side. Fortunately, our military didn't think they'd be useful since they're noisy. Hopefully, that issue isn't fixed.
Don’t worry they don’t JUST make war robots. They’ll also make the robots that make construction, sanitation, shipping, welding, and electrical work completely obsolete in 15 years, potentially automating away as much as 30% of American jobs
aliens: there's a new planet within flying distance. *chart course* Aliens: wait it's those humans we heard about *delete charted course* Aliens: But they spent a year making a robot that can dance *chart course again*
I cannot express the amount of joy I felt when the yellow one hopped in and began to kill it Also 1:39 made me giddy like tf why am I so happy at seeing them shuffle
