Security guard against cops with out warrents. He just needs a suit of black armor and repeat, "None shall pass." Oh, and he should be able to piss Mace.
I don’t see any of the top comments talking about it but turning around the human way would waste so much more energy and take more time, and more space. Being able to rotate on the spot as fast as it does seems extremely practical
They could take this even farther by making the knees and elbows have full range of motion in both directions and center mounting the feet. Or they could give it 4 arms and a face on both sides!
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. It's cool that it moves in a way which is efficient for a robot, rather than trying to perfectly mimic human movement. Then again, I was also imagining Robocop fighting this thing, because I'm a big dork.
The 360-degree articulation of its joints is impressive. To me, it's not unsettling at all. Envision the commercial, industrial, and eventual consumer applications for such a versatile robot. I believe there's no need for humanoid robots to be constrained by the same range of motion as humans.
@@GunWillTravel how are people scared of robot that will kill people when nuclear bombs and regular bombs exist ??? you can throw a thing on someone and lettteraly disintegrate their house but you get scared of slow, fragile robots ? plus they would be so expensive they would never be used for war in any significant matter, if you want to kill a bunch of people youd use cheap bombs, not robots
@@accueil750 Nuclear bombs can't build and improve themselves. And nobody wants to drop them and kill themselves too. But an army or tireless soldiers that can outrun, outsurveil, outshoot, and outthink humans? That can be used over and over again? That can kill people and preserve property? That don't question orders? We're a lot closer to the Terminator reality than you might think.
@@Create-The-Imaginableeven if it is something that is thermite resistant, which idk if there is a metal that won’t melt/warp past 4500 F. Even if it was some metal that wasn’t effected by the heat. The liquid metal would damage or destroy plenty of internal components. Thermite turns into liquid iron. And it would mangle that thing.
I imagine they were really proud when they realized, "well... why _does_ it need to have the same mobility limitations as humans?" I've seen so many videos of robots standing up by doing a pushup, but there's really no need for it when they can do whatever the hell that was
From a utility standpoint it’s probably useful that it can turn 360, imagine it moves boxes from one shelf to another behind and all it has to do is rotate instead of stepping around to turn. Presentation was hilarious, but its definitely a flex.
Whoa whoa don't bring moving boxes into this. I have worked for a moving company for over a decade and I always said no way the robots can take our job guess I was wrong 😂😂😂
OMG… the look on your face was PRICELESS! I was literally laughing so hard I started choking and had to get a drink of water as I watched THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, as you saw the exorcist-bot contort itself into a standing position 😳😝🤪🤣😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
Everyone when it look liked it was connected to the roof.. 'hey thats fantastic.. look how cute they are when they dance' Everyone today.. 'WTF.. RUN..'
We both said “mmh mhmm” at the same time 😂 That was creepy; to say the least. They should put an emoticon for the face though, it would look cute/more like a face.
That’s actually a very intuitive way of standing up from flat ground. It only looks weird because we’re not used to a humanoid shape being able to move like that.
May look weird the way it moves, but that definitely is efficient and flexible way of moving from a that position. Looks electrically powered, hence why efficiency is a must to have better battery life..
I just picture a team of engineers watching terminators movies when one of them says "Wouldn't it be cool if..." and they they create this thing with this demo in mind.
Boston Dynamics is showing that they moved away from hydraulic actuators and managed to create a robot with electric motors, which are more flexible and controllable. On the goodbye video of the old version they showed a lot of cases where pumps and pipes were exploding and now they show the versatility of the new version, which can be more compact and dynamic.
im glad they are moving to electric motors over the old hydraulic moters, I noticed the same thing in the video and this really does look like a big improvement compared to the old Atlas
Nah all the sci fi has chest sized nuclear reactors or forever batteries. You just have to run away from a Boston dynamics robot for 20 minutes and they run out of power @@brandonsmith6962
@@unclejuju12 Bro is acting like the most obvious solution for waist joint mobility is stealing. Guess they stole the idea of having a robot with two arms and two legs from figure too.
I think the fact that it is an omni robot makes it so much more versatile as you do not need to be facing any specific direction to complete tasks, it is a really smart move
Also, no hydraulics that can rip or burst during operation. Provided a clean enough environment for the joints to not clog up (or appropriate protection of those parts) this may also prove more reliable in the long term.
Yeah. What do you want of the bot? The bot is a bot. I saw a documentary.. With human like... And they are made for... 🤮 This is creepy. One can pick the doll. And there's cleaning advice. That is disgusting. This bot is cool
The head makes me feel like if you got real close and looked into the depths you would find a dried up human head in there, like something out of Doctor Who.
Reason for the 360 movement is that it reduces the number of steps needed to turn around, face the left or right. Making it more capable to perform more difficult tasks that require limited movement. Overall making its locomotive more efficient. Its beautiful I would say
lol imagine if in a few years they just casually publish a youtube video of liquid metal coagulating into a T800, and rest of the world just goes on like business as usual
Being able to rotate every joint 360 degrees makes it more practical for changing direction and maneuvering, instead of having the robot actually take a bunch of steps to walk in a circular motion.
@@Robbie-mw5uu I believe the people who passionately dedicate their career to robotics know what they are doing. They probably considered all the potential flaws when designing this robot over a span of multiple years. Not saying you are wrong, but calling that feature dumb is an insult to their intelligence and endeavors.
I think it's an excellent introduction. The robot does not need to move humanly, since it has such an extensive joint freedom. And the video demonstrates the wide range of motion. Just look at the complex motion being portrayed. It can get up by just the two legs, no arms needed. It can turn its head all around, which as we saw with Spot it can be very useful for monitoring. It can turn around without... turning around. If you focus on its hip segment, it's never shown to turn around. The legs rotate MID STRIDE, the torso rotates, the hips stay the same. It's an insane feat of mobility and robotics. If you put aside the uncanny valley, it's really perfect.
This right here is worth an entire lifetime of inspiration. I know that younger Me would've been ecstatic at seeing this and knowing it exists, I hope this sets off some kid to a mirth for engineering and robotics in a fruitful future.
This robot is actually super crazy... Also I remember when Marques said he has notification bell on for Boston Dynamics yt channel, because he should know if he needs to run, on the wvfm pod. 😅 So I can imagine what might have went through your head 😂
I am afraid that with the latest developments at Boston dynamics, they're pretty close to creating what you see in Black Mirror in the episode of Metalhead (S04E05)
Best Introduction ever! While the Tesla robot and others can barely almost walk as well as a 90-year-old Alzheimer's patient, Boston Dynamics couldn't help themselves and make fun of all of them by having their robot do this.
Yeah but the Boston dynamics is code based which means there is no future for them then making robot body’s, Tesla bot has ai and is more for doing actual stuff then having no hands and doing parkour.😂 please respond to this comment btw
@@thecuberabbit286 The fact their robots do what they do without AI is a positive, not a negative. They have objectively more stable behavior and unbelievably fine-tuned control systems. This is hard to achieve with AI.
If I imagine that this was a bulletproof AI-controlled combat unit acting in a critical situation in my environment, I would have to have quite a few pairs of trousers with me to change into. That would be a real Terminator... really scary.
It’s actually fascinating that robot learns to stand up and walk like that. Their joints don’t have the same limitations like ours. So that’s more efficient way to move around.
The reasoning for 360 rotational joints is because that is a lot simpler and more efficient than taking more steps to turn around more like a human. The CEO made the point that just because it is humanoid doesn't mean it has to be limited to human-like movement
I think it's actually amazing. There's no reason that humanoid robots need to move exactly like humans do. The versatility this creates is really amazing.
So easy to add some guns to this but drones are far cheaper to make and weaponize. I could see this used by bomb disposal units or by swat teams as point man.
@@bradhaines3142 Boston Dynamics with US Military Budget Fundings will be scary. Yes it still need a lot of work before it can be useful for military. This robot needs to run as fast as Humans running for their life without falling down and should be able to navigate difficult battlefield ground. How it's going to navigate through trenches, barricade, wires, land mines???
@@Nightdreaux22647 What do you mean "with US Military Budget Fundings"? Boston Dynamics Atlas 1 was made for DARPA. They're the reason why it was made in the first place.
Anyone remember that scene in Terminator 3 where Arnold is fighting the T-X in the bathroom and she's doing all these crazy contortions? That's what this reminds me of.
