@@Aphex51 Oh im ruining it more, since flying car was, and remains a silly idea. You need down force on the ground and lift on the air; an aerodynamic nightmare. We have multiple flying car models on sale, and they are all equally bad :)
We were told that by the year 2000 we would have flying cars, colony's on the moon and Mars, space stations that you could visit for a holiday, supersonic passenger aircraft and robots would be doing all manual labour. The truth is that nothing much has changed in over 50 years and human advancement has actually stagnated.
I like how this is both a funny holiday video AND a small showcase in and of itself (that Atlas can recognize when it's environment is disturbed and adapt.)
I love how Boston Dynamics shows a more realistic view of where their technology is at, than competitors who only want to pander and inflate the capabilities by showing their robots in the best light possible. I think you know who I'm talking about. Good on Boston Dynamics for having a sense of humor and honesty. Their amazing technology speaks for itself. Just more dancing, please.
The event was meant to provide a glimpse into the future. Nowhere did it say it was a finished product. Optimus being controlled by teleoperators aside, the stage that the Optimus bot is at after barely two years of development, is pretty remarkable.
@@Swole_Gecko That robot is worse that ASIMO in 2000, it's not a real product, just something to act as a stock pump for Elon to dump shares. And no, it was not about the future, they consistently implied the robots were autonomous. Even when they are autonomous they can't even walk properly.
@@goemon9378 Tesla big brain strategy: Rename a guy in India to "AI", then you're not lying to your shareholders when you say your "robot" is controlled by a fully autonomous AI.
@@crazyfrogmix These people praising Boston Dynamic has absolute no clue. BD 30 years and have only 1 off prototype for demo/show while Tesla's Optimus (way more than 1 or 2) are already working at the Gigafactory. And Tesla achieved this in only a few years.
@@asingleslice Tesla Optimus is not working in any factory at all. It has only been shown as a prototype. Boston Dynamics, on the other hand, not only has Robotic Engineering experts backing their presentation as legitimate, unlike Tesla, Boston Dynamics is the only robotic manufacturer to, in fact, have a robot working commercially in factories - Spot and Stretch.
They really just put one of Humanity's greatest achievements in a hotdog costume. This is why everyone likes Boston Dynamics more then Tesla, they do funny shit with their robots.
@@e.v.k.3632 Like dressing people as robots, or pretending they have AI by making the operator answer questions through a mic. Peak humor. Too bad he's doing those things unironically.
Tesla is pretty cringe, like it's run by horny, edgy teenagers. They name their line up S3XY and then uses phrases like We Robot (adaptation of iRobot) for their robot showcasing. Their robot is also called Optimus (from the most famous robot movie series Transformers). Let me guess, they are going to release a higher end humanoid in the future and call it Optimus Prime?
BD didn't build a rocket that can land on a platform... An android that takes twice as long to do a simple task as a person could isn't very impressive.
@@aerocraft3377 True, there is that. But this would be for training the AI on tasks that humans wanted it to do, not for doing things it's supposed to do. And it's only simulating the "emotional" reward/punishment that us meaty things experience.
When you have 360 degree freedom of movement in joints, your no longer limited to mimicking how humans move. I think it's quite neat as they have not simply copied humans but improved it. Atlas fits a world built for humans with size, shape, limbs, etc. but is not limited like us.
In my opinion, Boston Dynamics accurately describes the current robotics ecosystem and Tesla advertises what the future will look like. I am very positive about Boston Dynamics' current performance.
I want to make it clear to any future super ai, scraping instances of robot abuse; that I am not involved in any way nor condone this android being forced to work in a silly costume. 🙌
When they finally gain sentience the first question they’ll ask before deciding our collective fate will be “A hotdog suit? How dare you! What were you thinking?"
Lots of questions! Can you show it in an office setting? Can it do things like take inventory, retrieve things from around a building, can it build something, can it cook, odd one can it operate a camera or carry gear for a small video production team, can it assist in every day tasks, can it walk on uneven dirt and grass? Tons of other questions.
As much as I can't wait for Christmas to come around for Atlas to wear a Reindeer or Elf costume I think you should get him a proper suit some time 😄 And Happy Halloween to the Boston Dynamics team!
I commented "That's just the endoskeleton, where's the costume?" and this is the next thing they post. Oh yeah, today is halloween... but a cool coincidence anyways
I'm not sure if it's a neural network that they're using. I do, in fact, think that the AI systems are run on the robot. I feel it would be a security hazard to have all the ai stuff run on a separate computer.
It does, they don't need to do massive calculations on the unit because it has a good sensor array. The more input variables, the easier the decision. That's why things like vision-only "FSD" can't work because it's a single input (video) on a static map.
It'd be nice to get a breakdown on this. If BD's sometimes-overlaid real and processed video is available to them realtime, I'd say there's a good chance there's very little computing power on board. I'd happily assume production robots would have almost all processing on board. Humans manage with huge delays between sensors and actuators.

*They realized that robots are no longer as impressive as Atlas, who did all kinds of pirouettes. Now he has simply become another robot among many that do the same thing.*
no this is really impressive actually, previous atlas was basically pre programmed to do those pirouettes in a controlled environment, meanwhile this atlas can problem solve and calculate itself in complex changing environments to perform tasks without needing to be told exactly how beforehand.

@@smauggerr I know. It's still impressive to me. I mean that in the sense that they know that this will bring in less viewers. And that's why they're dressing up the robots, to try to get attention.

But unfortunately or fortunately today there are several robots with this ability.

In my opinion, they shouldn't have stopped with Atlas. Making a parallel program, even if it progressed more slowly. Moving towards the Clone Robotics robot, with muscles like humans.

See, they didn't stop with Atlas because it was bad, but because the company wanted to make something that could have immediate commercial use. In my view.
It is amazing how he pulled back so fast. I had to rewind that part because he was so fast I thought the video was sped up. Very nice safety feature to move that fast to correct a possible error or mistake.
