very cool to be able to give them much more information than "oh yeah that feels about right" on a piece of equipment and all the other things spot will do. spot walks so natural looking yet every step is perfectly synced. watching it walk up the stairs effortlessly is a trip in itself.

We got a functioning dog robot before Gta 6

oof scout mode is one thing but the way this thing tackles stairs. smooth af! Bet the the engineers are super proud!

This clip shows next level housekeeping at that refinery. It's not typical of what I've seen in the chem processing industry.

*Me in my home desk chair, which is situated in a closet, watching a video targeted towards high-skill, high-level, high-performance fortune 100 companies worth billions of dollars, eating my microwaved leftover rice to fuel up before heading into my $16/hour job*

Ps: I love you Boston Dynamics, your robots are awesome

It’s amazing how far this company has come. I remember back when they were just figuring out how to make robots that could walk and run and get back up if you kicked them over. Now they’re mass producing and selling some of the most advanced robots to big name companies like Chevron that can use them for dangerous jobs so that people don’t have to be at risk all the time. Its amazing. I can’t wait to see how much farther they’ll go in the future

Yes, Spot is a very hard worker and I love seeing him in all his different jobs, but please tell me you let him dance every now and then! 💜 All work and no play makes Spot a dull boy, er... robot.

I love seeing more serious video of in real life applications of robots. Not that I dislike seeing robots dancing but...

But where is the robot horse for ranch duties?

"In 2024 we will have flying cars..."
not yet, here, have a robot dog instead.

[EljaTubeYou]

how do they run in bad weather conditions, like rain or wind + rain?

[jonponton]

Just awesome!! Getting more people out of harms way is always a good thing. Interested to know about how the intrinsic safety of spot was evaluated by Chevron.

This is an engineer dream come true, scout mode is very cool. Spot looks greater than ever!

[oooodaxteroooo]

these people look truly happy they finally have robots and the problems they can now solve are mindboggling!

[Mazapine]

Gotta love helping keep people safe, watching all the videos from The Chemical Safety Board gave me a lot of insight into the dangers of industrial processes.

The teams Boston dynamic the Master Class 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

1:55 I guess that doing measurements and tests of components would make one able to predict things better... wow ... seriously.. is it just me ?

[coolair]

Curious of acoustics, part of my job walking plants is to listen for abnormalities, pretty badass tool

[UncleJDCarp]

🤔 So it's intrinsically safe and certified for use in hazardous atmospheres? Or is it only operated outside of class 1 div 1 or class 1 div 2 areas? Or does it add administrative burden of permitting and extra gas monitoring for field personnel?

It would be cool if they could partner with Walmart or some other stores to stock the shelves overnight.
