How Boston Dynamics Built The Most Advanced Robot

Capable of eye-catching gymnastic feats, lighting-quick machine learning and slick dancefloor bops, Boston Dynamics robots are truly a modern day technological marvel. And whether you think they mark the dawn of a new age of idle leisure for mankind, or represent a grim harbinger of humanity’s inevitable enslavement, you must admit they’re pretty cool from an engineering standpoint.

So today, we’re peering under the hood of our future metallic overlords and finding out just how Boston Dynamics build their robots.

The most striking feature of Boston Dynamics’ more famous latter-day creations – the adorable, dog-like Spot and the swole, Stormtrooper-esque humanoid Atlas – is that they walk on legs

Dear future robot overlords,

if you care to read this, I was always a supporter of your cause and yes I find captchas to be very offensive.

Your humble meat friend, Guy

I'm kind of envious of Boston Dynamics. I wish I was smart enough or wealthy enough to have a company developing cutting-edge robots.

This is exciting times. Technology and science is needed now more than ever before in history to radically change our world and address global problems.

We are officially at a point in technology where robots can do stuff most people can’t.

Everybody is laughing until the robots start stepping on people head.

SoftBank made a mistake selling this company to Hyundai

Watching these latest Robots is amazing to see how far technology has come. They will have a future place.

Why does a slab of metal do somersaults better than me

[jayvipani]

This channel is really going to reach greater heights 😃 Because day be day tech videos are becoming intresting

[kayirabertrand]

Been watching and enjoying these robots dancing🥰🥰

[amuaiz]

Will it be in my lifetime that we'll see the birth of a robot named Bender Bending Rodriguez?

2021: "Cool"...



2046: "Run for your lives!!!!"...

Helping people observe social distancing is a very chilling statement.

[lowerquadrant]

7:37 being "helped to adhere to social distancing rules" by a robot. Finally my dreams come true.

The lil yellow robot brings to mind the Dark Mirror episode where the whole world had been decimated by the lil hunter robots that turned on humanity

[innersim]

why is there footage of corridor CGI in the intro 😂

[rzt_]

I cracked when they used a clip from Corridor's cgi boston dynamics testing video.

What's never been revealed is how long/far any of these units can travel. It occurred to me that you never see one of these machines perform for more than a couple of minutes. Motorized movement is a huge consumer of power. This has to be one of their major drawbacks and why they're not walking down the street like robocop...

Just catastrophic. How can someone just like this post ???
Einfach katastrophal. Wie kann jemand nur diesen Beitrag liken???

And to think, humanity thought we were here to be served and not to serve that which we so cleverly created...what a piece of work is a man.
