Spot Levels Up | Boston Dynamics 

No, no the classic "Danger, Will Robinson!"

you find yourself buried under rubble after an earthquake and a robot lifts up the slab thats pinning you and says without any sense of irony "come with me if you want to live"

"MOVE ASIDE HUMANS. MY WORTH IS GREATER THAN YOURS!"

Holy shit that is real humor right there.

The next time I'm fighting Predator aliens, it would be nice to have a robot that reminds me to GET TO THE CHOPA because I keep forgetting to get to the chopa. Happens more than I'd like to admit.

Lol !

로봇 개로 썰매를 끌겠다는 생각을 왜 하는지 모르겠습니다.

Preparing for nuclear winter of course

I feel like theyd do it

They already did that

"Alan!"

@@jaredspencer3304**Spot with an Ian Malcomm Wig and a Set of Glasses:** "Dr Grant?"

Clever Girl

Wait until it start thinking like one... 😬

they actually use velociraptor neural networks in their robots, Didn't you know ??

I’d say this video also represents a new level of **fear** for Boston Dynamics. There, fixed it for you ;-)

no shit

this is a beautifully shot and produced video. Keep pushing forward guys!!!

10 years ago I was surprised by these videos, I was 17 years old and it was a shock and surprise! Now I'm almost 30 years old, I'm not a child at all, and you post about the same thing with little progress ... It's very sad ...

… Karl you're joking, right? Musk would have driven BD into the ground with random budget cuts and staff layoffs

all cool and dandy until... you know

​@@saunakissa ok DOOMER..😂

Have you ever asked yourself why they are making robots that can run 15-20+ mph and are able to jump large distances and do backflips?

It actually took 5 plus year to develop. If I did that with my body I'd look like 🦸‍♂️

​@@sjr8140 you can develop those capabilities within five years given the right training and lack of constraints.

I can make that for a price

Yes spot on 👍

Spot horse

@@larsstougaard7097 no, on spot actually

@plasmasupremacy9321 true, glad you spotted it 👍

@Pepper Guy Hello greater safety, monitoring and access to areas people can't. While people will always still be employed to set up and run processes and manage facilities, a lot of major failings are due to human error.

@@LadyMelmo. I guess you cant starve and be homeless if you are dead. 🤔

@@ToneyCrimson That...what are you even talking about?

@@ToneyCrimson Just let machines do the work and humans can sit back and relax at home, what's the problem?

​@Lady Melmo no just no, we need low income jobs, the world is going down a bad path with this age of automation and ai that will eventually eliminate all low income jobs. This will make the wealth gap even bigger and lead to terrible living condition for low income people

auto survey if the doors self close

I agree, it should also make sure that it doesn’t hit anything when opening or closing the door

Should be simple to add "confirm door closed" as the first automated task after passing through. By the time it's out of beta this will probably be a default feature of door passing tasks.

This is how the resistance gets access to send back Kyle Reese btw.

People don't check the door ... it can't be a real issue.

Nathan believed he could control Ava.

Right? I remember their first model. Damn, those guys love their work!

Stagnation progress?

Progress towards he apocalypse

@@grellixgrellixi9580 Spot is practically useless for $75,000. You still need a human to control him...

@@mikeblaz but Spot can eliminate your human workforce. Literally even, if needed. 😆

Only after office hours :D

Could make some pretty sweet techno with the buzzer, too XD

@@glowcube Acid... *dreams*

Sounds like you will be buying an Optimus from Tesla. Give them three or four years.

Musk fans sharing their delusions in this comment thread are hilarious. If Musk were "running this show" BD would have overpromised everything and then come up with a half-assed robot that would be completely useless. DB are the industry leaders and however long they take to innovate with a viable product, that's how long it takes.

Doesn't that also mean that you'll be out of a job since if the work can be done remotely by piloting a robot they can just hire somebody in India to do it?

@@Michelino_M5 oh, for sure, that is why....checking my notes...the Tesla Model Y is currently the best selling car in the world, and why SpaceX has 80% of commercial launches worldwide, and why Musk is the wealthiest person in the world, because all of the products from his companies are lousy. Slow and steady is not going to win this race.Robots with LIDAR are not going to win this race. Is Musk good at estimating when new products will be ready? No. Do the products eventually come and are they better than what anyone else can offer? Yes. BD doesn't have an AI program, and they are manually coding while Tesla is almost all neural net programmed now, the computer is writing the software. And a lot of making robots useful is labelling objects in the real world, which Tesla is currently they believe doing at a world leading rate, and will be doing ten times faster by the end of the year and a hundred times faster by end of next year. My sympathy to BD, they have worked hard and well, but Tesla is now a behemoth with their pick of the top engineers, lots of money, a world number one supercomputer, and the Silicon Valley move fast playbook.

A dispatch from the Cult of Musk has arrived in the comments... thank you for the laugh, Karl!

Haha

Puppy

No.

Spot isn’t interpreting the gauge readings. It’s collecting data for someone to review. Basically let’s someone remotely inspect things without needing to physically be on site.

@karlwithak. That's why Elon isn't making this. And thank God for that.

Can this robot find something without an operator? A pack of cigarettes, for example?

That is already in the works , the AU spot is a modified spot that is planned to go to Mars

Red Planet movie in 2000 with Val Kilmer kind of has a future spot in it.

So like humans and dogs?

Like R2D2 and C-3PO but reverse? :)

Would rather be Tesla made ones if any robot is used at spaceX

​@@SaladeDeFruitt Tesla doesn't make robots.

"which humans don't even think about."

Even scratches on the door @12:42 just like a biological dog

@@fitybux4664 Piff! That's trivial for an expert. _sudo make me a sandwich_

You can easily see, though, that they're reading what they're saying. Look at the eyes. Nevertheless, good stuff.

@@jeffh4581 I expect they wrote it though, these people are probably all MIT PhDs

Yeah she was so professional! The only question left is: is she also a robot in disguise? 🤔

literally every product manager ever. it's a prerequisite of the job, or you have mental breakdowns. probably still both tbh.

You do know this company is owned by google, right?

@@madprophetus It's owned by Toyota. What is your point?

Particularly the Microdosing Spokesperson.

How does creating these robots make the industry more "safe"

I really want to know how you find value from that?

@@commonsensei8719 are you insisting that putting humans into dangerous situations is somehow safer than not having humans in dangerous situations?

You even get scratches on your doors just like a biological dog @12:42

@@commonsensei8719 How does it not?

It could use a skate board! 😂

@@julenlaskibar5409 or it could be used as a skateboard

Your stair climbing vacuum robot is a very cool project. I hope it will be for sale one day!

Unfortunately "your" stair climbing vacuum has been introduced few days back.

But yeah sure Spot with vacuum on it's back would be much more capable than any other robot out there.

@@superior5005 can I buy it anywhere?

the level up wasn’t a vacuum function but door opening seems to be very useful

Spot is non binary

blud out here giving nonliving things genders 💀

@@LuisSierra42 AI has more than 1's and 0's. (Floating point numbers!) Non-binary indeed! 😆

@@LuisSierra42 Spot is a computer, so I think it is very binary

@@spicybaguette7706 You are assuming Spot's gender, you are being a bigot

Here, here !😊

You can fix the quiet issue the same way as you would with a cat: just give it a jingly bells collar. 😜

it needs seven more arms like an octopus.

​@@markae0 and mount it to a wearable backpack?

Elon will do it first.

I heard Elon is working on a cat 🐈 robot called fluffy , first cat on Mars 🚀

Try to touch that red button and you'll lose a hand. 😂

Same I'm excited for spot .

At least we don't have to worry about Spot leaving a spot on the floor.

Was it worth the wait?

Agreed, she is an amazing speaker.

Merry* according to the on-screen text

And I agree, she was great to listen to 👍

@@BrianZier so mezmerized by her delivery I didn't even see the text. Even her name is S tier. I should have known

dude it's opening a door, it should just work

Perhaps changing gauges to flat digital displays mimicking analogue dials. No parallax as no mechanical needles.
