BREAKING!! Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot can now jog freely!!! take a look! video!

Few things succeed in riling up the Internet faster, unleashing a unique cocktail of amazement and terror, than a new Boston Dynamics robot video.

In the past, the tech company, owned by Japan’s SoftBank Group, has released videos showing their robots climbing stairs, executing perfect back flips and opening doors with shocking facility.

The company’s latest YouTube submission: a 34-second clip of their boxy humanoid robot, Atlas, going for a jog in a grassy residential area on what appears to be a bright spring day.

With his electronic appendages unleashing a animatronic whine that falls somewhere between an electronic knife and a Xerox machine, Atlas even stops to hop over a log before casually going on his bipedal way.

In only a day, the video has racked up more than 900,000 page views, a testament to the powerful impression Boston Dynamics’s videos continually leave on viewers. For some, the Atlas is an exciting childlike underdog signaling that a Jetsons-like future is nearly upon us.

These seven advanced robots are not available for purchase. They were developed as prototypes for future robots. Does science fiction movies become reality?

the first video relised by boston dynamics back in the days was together with a second video (not promoted) available on their medis section on their site with the interview to the ceo...at the question what bigdog was designed his candid replie was: to hunt down humans.

this is like the video of the jevvs saying they received text messages to not go to work in the morning of 9/11 aired live on TV...a video who disappeared to not be seen again.

Looks like, at this point, we can outrun that robot.

That said, how long until we cannot?

Great thread DMG! I love this stuff.

When you pair your post with this (Google Duplex just passed the Turing test):

You get a truly chilling combination. I think we are getting really close to something most people believed wouldn't happen for several years, and some thought would never happen at all. And when you figure DARPA is probably 2-3 steps ahead of what they are letting the public actually see...

Then we carry builders foam.

Fuck you Robots

The wealthy are going to use them against us in any way they can.

until they put a gun in its hand.

yup. thanks for your insights on this.

Yeah. That would change it up for sure.

I guess running in serpentine pattern? lol.

yep robocop nightmare dead ahead. This crap gives me the creaps

How do robots fair up to a .44 magnum?

Damn! you put clothes on it and a fake bloody stump for a neck and it would freak out any one!

Do we get to have the laser guns now?

At least they make a lot of noise will be scary when they make them silent.

The need for armor piercing ammo is right here.

Get one fer totin' granny aroun the wall martz

Kiss the wheelchair industry goodbye!

I am happy to see this kind of progress being made.

How long will it be until we can have robo-nannies, robot companions for elderly who can shop, assist them, take their aging owners to appointments, clean the house, fix a meal and serve it, and do the dishes afterwards? I think that the day will come and it may be within the next 20 years or sooner. Sadly I'm sure DARPA will use the same tech to replace human soldiers on the battlefield and these wonders of technology will be used first to kill and only late to care for and nurture humanity where it needs care and nurturing the most.

And of course these will cost upwards of $100k at first. But the costs will come down and production will go up and soon we'll get used to robots in the grocery store or acting as a driver or a care giver for an elderly patient. But the costs will soon be proven to be well worth it when it's obvious you're getting a servant, companion, nurse, and personal assistant all rolled into one. Remember it doesn't need to eat, sleep, etc.

The Jetson's and Rosy their robot maid is drawing closer as we speak...

How long before they put a minigun in it's hands lol?

Cool thread and Atlas is great imo.

Its cruel how they treat robots for testing at this factory. There should be rights for robots.
:(

Greenscreened propaganda. Even the sounds are fake as fuck. You chumps will buy into ANYTHING.
