Meet Spot, the robot dog that can run, hop and open doors | Marc Raibert 

**50 years later** Me coming back to this video like: Ah, *this is where it all started*

Everyone gangsta until the robots camera turns red

That stare at 4:15 :-/ You can tell the robot is holding itself back from homicide so that it doesn't ruin the robot uprising by destroying trust in robots worldwide

Marc does a demo of his product, and ends by thanking the team at Boston Dynamic for all their hard work. Great!

A robotic mailman being chased by a robotic dog! Loved this video, thanks for sharing it :-)

this is amazing, the robots are really losing their stiffness, their typical one-move-at-a-time type motion and they move in a pay that seems alive. when the robot was trying to get through the door and the guy was pushing the door closed and it tried again, and the guy pushing it again i thought for a moment the robot would bite at the guy(which would be a scarily smart thing to do) but ofcourse it's not an animal, even though it feels much more like it than most robots.

4:14 the robot furiously stared at steve

I can't wait to see SPOT installed with XM25 Grenade Launcher

My dog has most of these features plus he craps all over the place and has an intimate relationship with my leg

That jump was incredible!

War is the dark side. Oppression is the dark side. Its amazing tech...its the people that worry me

"What is my purpose?" "You pass butter!"

Didnt I see this in Jurrasic Park? "First it's Oooo & awww...then there's running & screaming."

I was waiting for the next boston dynamics for a long time! *Here it is!*

people laughing in 2017...this is how horror movies begin

Spectacular ... amazing ... I have not seen a model among robots that performs these coordinated movements. Congratulations to its creator and to all the people who worked on this project.

Imagine riding one of those things like a horse. That's the fuckin *future*

As an engineer I find this incredibly amazing and inspiring. To develop such a robot must be so tough...

6:25 she is not impressed lmao!

30 yrs later Spot Hosts the TED Talk...lol

This might be the solution to world peace, that doggo handing out Pepsi

Does it come with a headphone jack?

you guys have the best job in the world I can see so many things you can do with the Handle From Package delivery to Security and police and even Soldiers But not only that , you can add a chair in the front and give disabled people the ability to move freely and with the correct hands on it , even eat , drink etc

“We put arms on the robots” *[Jazz music stops]*

If it can open doors it's as scary as velociraptors!

4:36 *robot arm opens up to reveal arm cannon*

I was smiling so many times while watching this video, did anybody feels the same.

Incredible, I just cannot imagine these robots were invented in 2017 so early. Technology really develops so fast.

i always come here for 5:27

Amazing, absolutely incredible. Thank you for such amazing progress and pushing mankind one step further.

The greatest relief I get is after watching the guy with the remote. No the bots are not "self aware" but can be

0:18 "Hahaha" *Pulls out machine gun from its back and starts shooting*

I've seen too many Robocop and Terminator movies not to realize they will use this dog to hunt down humans one day lol

Goal: Door open. Deterrent: Steve. Deterrent: Deleted(Steve). Goal: Door open(Achieved).......

5:33 chocolate cake 5:37 cream in excess 5:38 with cherry on top

He speaks calmly about terrifying things. Scary.

Its amazing how far its gone since the 80's. Picking up a can of soda and bringing it to you while navigating the area and keeping balance. I guess the basic and most important things that all these robots should have are image processing and creating a 3d map in its head and planning routes, and all these things will become better and theyre just software, so theyll be standard and copied to every new robot, allowing the rnd to develop the things beyond it

06:20 random guy says “ha” 🤣🤣

This is beautiful, I wish one day, I will work on robots like this

Imagine spot chasing you with an armor piercing round shotgun attachment in the forest

Truly awesome. Great work Boston Dynamics.

Cool! beautifully fluid! i'm gonna tell my Japanese masters to upgrade me already!!

And now he's available to the public three years later. Albeit around 70,000 usd though.

Beautiful. Thanks.

Already deployed in mine detection in both Afghanistan & Iraq conflicts

I would have loved having one of those as a kid.

An amazing tech. That took us to different level of imagination and perception.

As I start watching this video, I can't help but think of Robocop (1&2).

the wheeled one is terrifying but awesome

He can run, hop, open doors and soon... take over mankind.

salute your hard work

The future looks Great! Good job you all.

MORE, MORE! GIVE ME MORE OF THIS CONTENT!

When i saw the humanoid robot i got a sense of dread for the future.

11:03 - fast moves are scary AF.

Oh !! I want one. I can't wait to buy em from Wal-Mart or home depot or something.

That is so creepy and cool at the same time

2:43 would be my exact reaction if I saw this thing in the wild.

I simply love this.

It's just awesome man

I'm seeing a *lot* of comments about robots rising up like the terminator & causing the end of mankind, which is of course incredibly unrealistic. That being your principle worry about robots is like seeing ultrasonic planes & being principally worried that they will be used to fly around the world really fast and reverse time like superman. Here's what you should all be thinking about: If there is already a general purpose humanoid robot in existence that can do work at 2/3 the pace of a human, how long until the price point on that comes down enough for them to start replacing tens of millions of workers in the US alone? 2/3 the speed and a small team of full-time technicians makes a lot of business sense if I can replace 5000 salaries. And I'm not saying that we should oppose the creation of these robots: that is equally crazy. What I'm saying is, we need to start thinking in a really new way about how we imagine economics. What happens when these robots replace 50% of the factory jobs & self-driving cars replace 50% of the transportation jobs, & there isn't any new job sector that could ever handle that many unemployed people? What happens when there simply aren't & never will be enough jobs to go around? That's a problem that we will have to solve, & it will require us to reverse our ideology on some very passionately-held beliefs; particularly, there will come a time when drawing an income has nothing to do with having a job. And if we don't make that shift, then we're going to cause ourselves a lot of pain resisting it. History was my major in university, & if there's one thing that's true, it's that when there is a large-scale comprehensive shift in society (something like the industrial revolution, for instance), it is never a pleasant time for those who live through it no matter how positive the new changes are. We've got one of those tough transition times in our future, & we need to be thinking about how we're going to smooth it out right now.

"It's not a neck - it's an arm." Oh.

im so excited for this

2050: honey can you please charge me? I am hungry

Now all we need is Skynet ;)

Am I the only one who thought Spot was adorable? I want one, I like how he rolled over for a belly rub at the end.

Wonderful demo

That’s insane it shows how far we’ve come

*And this is how we started our extinction*

It’s gonna remember Steve mark my words...

very good!i love it!

Beyond amazing...

That would make the perfect hyper-allergenic service dog.

The college kid who never got laid nor got invited to any party made a promise to himself to change the world, the results are right in front of you.

Deeply impressed.

Very educational. I'm writing a story about parallel universe where people live alongside mountable robot-dogs that they keep as their life companions, so this video is pretty relevant to me in terms of visionary help 👍

Really impressive and cool! I would really like to see these robots as our companions :D

Could the robotic technology be used to help people with disabilities walk/move independently? I can visualize someone suiting up with a pair of robot braces and walking around.

Incredible!

Nowadays people tend to think robots that look and work toward being like us are scary, but robots like Handle are the way robots will leapfrog our design and be made in hybrid ways with other animal designs integrated or unique robot designs that will increase its efficiency way beyond ours.

4:13 I was seriously waiting for the robot to hit Steve after that bullying

I kinda feel bad when they're giving them hard time.

Amazing!

Me impresiona más la inteligencia de ese hombre y todo su equipo o personas que están en lo mismo 😲

OK, let's buy one of those robot dogs. What kind of food will it eat ?

"give the robots a hard time" Im sure they will remember that when the time comes..

Good information.

Such a cute dog

One is mobility, Two is dexterity, and Three is Try to takeover the world!

But what about dragons? Can he fight a dragon?

This is not technology,it is art !

I noticed when the dog like robot had a opponent hurting it with the door, the robot was attempting to open it. The last seconds at the end of the clip, the robot takes an initial stance that is in a defensive posture to block access to the door & also open it to go thru.

I want one to carry my pack when I go camping. I would name him Frank.

Anyone here after the new Boston Dynamics video that came out?

This is pretty advanced stuff. Problem is these scientists will never ever give up until they have created something they cannot control. A sane mind will tell you they can just be switched off, they have no emotions or feelings or ability to hate, but as soon as you give these machines those abilities, thats when the trouble starts.

Wonderful 👏

5:22 _When it's Wednesday but you're already praying for it to be Friday_

14:09 It's a way to say: "Sure, 3th World War will use robots as soldiers."

Супер. В 1985 году о таком только мечтали и представляли в фантастических кино. А теперь Терминатор реальность.(

3:27 Delivery people: *Chuckles* I'm in danger...
