One of the billionaire lunatics somewhere is drooling over the thought of strapping guns to these things. One day these videos will be a quaint reminder of a more innocent time.
There is very little benefit to them looking like humans when it comes to strapping guns to them. Between the drones and the dogs they're already covered, and already killing people.
Agreed facts. Quadcopters can be equipped with many types of equipment, can move in all directions and can be incredibly cost effective. That said, some robots may have an easier time opening doors, moving with stealth (versus standard loud rotors) and eventually impersonating humans.
Nooooope. Cyberdyne Systems already explored this shit, and we all saw where that lead. At this point, I'm just looking around for who will be the John Connor and Sarah Connor we all need
Public service announcement: this requires 100 takes. For every one of these, there are 99 videos of the robots flailing helplessly. These things are kinda cool but mostly suck and have a long way to go.
That said they only have to figure it out once. From there it’s iterations and accuracy improvements.
The human flight went from 100-200 yard hops to jets in under 50 yrs.
This. The demo here is an early prototype. Once they are rolling out of the assembly plant by the thousands, each unit will be collecting more data on the best movement patterns across all types of terrain. With AI, mobility will increase by orders of magnitude in a relatively short span of time.
Seems like some pressure would be enough to topple them though. A strong front line with shields and they wouldn’t stand a chance. At least, as they are now. The clock is ticking lol.
They didn't spend millions creating this monster so it could fold clothes! They'll be teaching it how to tear down doors and rip us out of our beds at gunpoint.
I hear you. But Hyundai can make cars faster better and cheaper than Tesla along with most other carmakers. Honda has done some robot work too. If one of them buys a BD and scales up production… Give me a robot that can do the housework though - I’ll do any break dancing we need done 😂
I’m with you but the legacy car companies haven’t been able to make cars faster than Tesla. The former CEO of VW was pointing this out and they fired him.
Right now only the Chinese can make EVs cheaper and better than Tesla

Seriously tho as impressive as this is, @BostonDynamics, what is your end game here, why are you making these things, what is the plan?
If anyone thought they’d have the best robot, well they’d be very wrong.
That’s Tesla’s advantage right now BUT IDK if I owned a company that I’d put Elon’s spy bot in my business. He’s proven he can’t be trusted
