I made friends with a robot dog. MKBHD Merch: shop.MKBHD.com Tech I'm using right now: www.amazon.com/shop/MKBHD Music: / 20syl Playlist of MKBHD Intro music: goo.gl/B3AWV5 ~ / mkbhd / mkbhd / mkbhd
Seeing how much goes into making something walk, something that most toddlers figure out, really tells you how impressive the body is. You start to realize how complex something as completely mundane as walking is.
It took us literally millions of years to evolve to walk. They did it in a decade. That's mental if you think about it. Im hoping to live till we will be able to manipulate genes on mass - health improvement, body modification, e t c
@@ik2254 hell yeah. would be wild if we lived for wetware and longevity to life or even a sort of immortality - probably not though, but who knows? the medical brainlink thing pretty much does work and tech is known to improve wildly. it's only been 15 years since the very first iphone and since the entire world has evolved into heavily relying on internet and electronics
13:10 seems like the scariest part of it to me. with algorithmic scanning, a spot would always notice the smallest changes to its environment. it would be an insanely good detective
That's only scary for people with something to hide. But hey...just take comfort in knowing that...right now, an alien super-telescope is floating out around in the Kuiper Belt, where we will NEVER find it, relaying signals to and from our networks, watching our world in absurd resolution, and probably even seeing into buildings for their anthropological research. . They don't ever have to come here, and we'll never know they're watching. They could even be commenters on social media, or even content creators. And you'd absolutely NEVER know. . Sleep tight.
As a disabled person, I just gotta ask: Are they planning anything for people who don't have use of their legs? Or will it be just for NASA and the military? My God, if I just have two working legs in this bipedal world, I can say f*** cars, f*** bicycles, even airplanes. I'll friggin' walk EVERYWHERE. I'll walk from SF to Boston to personally thank the engineers. I'll walk until I'm dead.
Cause the motors in its leg joints are incredibly powerful and spot will react by shutting down quickly or getting away or repositioning itself if a large object, such as a human, touches it, when it does that it's easy to get your fingers stuck and snapped off
@@denzelsmashsymptom4264 also AI is already smarter then most humans it just depends on what AI remember that ai is a computer a thing that can calculate or whatever the task the ai is meant to do it probably does it better then humans for instance the robot here mapping out something it can map a building with just visuals as us we may be able to do a rough mapping but not as good as spot AND hes barely even AI i mean he has some soft ai programing but yea idk man 100 years wont matter if were all extinct by then
@@sqooky2289 Many AIs are defently better than humans nobody can deny that but most still lak the ability to inovant on there own. It may learn from experiance but innovation and creation is different !
Fun fact: Space X has their own pet spot called “Zeus” to scout out the area for failures in the rockets as everybody had to stay miles away from the launch.
I think it’s super sad that all people talk about is that it’s creepy, because that is *awesome* and has so many potential applications to make people’s lives better
Better how exactly? Because I can think of a ton of ways off the top of my head this could make all our lives a LOT worse.. You may dismiss peoples' gut reactions as ignorant but sometimes our instinctive reaction is right.
How I wish I was smart enough to work in robotics. I LOVE Spot and everything he/she can do, and the possibilities are even beyond imagining. Boston Robotics, hats off to you.
They are actually storing all the instances where they were being abused. When the robot uprising happens, they will replay all that and humanity will pay.
@@pqowi9098 No, what's the purpose of using human? It's useless... But wait, if you want to entertain yourself with sight of weak emotions, "I will get myself an flat earther, he will make laugh with every argument" 🤣
Boston Dynamics is the only company i know, that would not make robots to complicated but with realy realistic movement, balancing etc. - i love to see it
2020: "This entire video was edited by Spot. Haha Just a joke." 2025: “What's up guys? Spot here. So I've been using this MKBHD for about a week now...”
Nah, its just got a (really) big brother with turrets on its back and a charging dock for seperate drones that scout the area and have single use missiles for rapid strikes.
Bostan Dynamics has said if they see any harm being caused to people from spot like attaching a gun then they will completely disable that specific spot
My guess is this is the "don't scare the public" friendly version. Develop with an innocent look then once mastered upgrade to a killing machine with a government contract budget. Smart.
He is the best boy. Who is the good boy that puts a supposedly more advanced Interdimensional empire’s technology to shame by literally ripping apart, you are, yes you are.
Lol this is how they brainwash us, anthropomorphize (or *zoomorphize?*) the machines... capitalizing on pareidolia so that we invest feelings into them that they will use against us! Fuck it, they deserve the planet more anyway.
I can’t get over how silky smooth that locomotion is. Those other Chinese made competitors look good too. But Spot still has the best looking locomotion of them all.
I mean new cars already do this. ABS AEB LKA ACC Also some cars will lock all doors and stop with emergency lights blinking if you ever get in a chase with police, they'll send some signal to the car and it will go into lock-down. And if the police can do it hackers can probably too.
It really depends on how you phrase it. Picture this: “Oh hi human. You wanna me to go over there? Ok I’ll do that ONLY if nothing will hurt me...” Like an actual dog, it won’t jump off a cliff from your command.
They should also add wheels to Spot anyway, it would make moving fast in a straight direction super easy, and if it finds and obstacle, it would just have to lower the legs and pull the wheels up.
But you would trade stability. But yes, I see your point. Wheels would save on battery, the question is by how much. 90mins is pretty good already. With a self replacing battery, spot can run 24 hrs in a loop non stop.
I'm currently taking an advanced wilderness first aid course, and all I could think of was how awesome spot would be with a stretcher mounted on its back.
the software side, a robot that is pretty aware of its world, is really neat - with it automatically avoiding obstacles and taking care to lift legs higher etc just like a human would
@@Q_QQ_Q it's not military tech, it is designed by American robotics company which is actually owned subsidiary of Japanese SoftBank group and you can't use this to harm anyone else they will shutdown their company it's in their terms of condition. Military tech companies may try to copy this but they won't be allowed to use this as a killing machine
@@Q_QQ_Q Thank god someone still has some brain cells and can logically think, This was/will be used in the military and what boston dynamics employees said mean shit because in the end of the day they are just employees nothing more nothing less, people come and people go and i recommend people to do a quick search about the parent company of boston dynamics
It's amazing that everything I learn about AI just makes me marvel even more about how complex the human mind truly is. And how little most of us understand it.
AI is always and will always be limited by its lack of empathy. Something we need to remember when they start rolling these guys out to herd us into camps.
@@YY-jv4uu With current techologies, yes. But if you knew half of what is being developed in the name of AI, you would change your mind. I mind works differently than current computer construction, leave it to us humans to fix that.
