Boston Dynamics' Atlas Robot can now do 540 front flips

I used to work just down the street from BD in Boston. Their building is beautiful.

Super cool other than its effeminate running style.

this is why they don't need as many people on Earth.

They have reached a point in technology where robots can do all the work...and create more robots themselves..

with a few select humans who will supervise..

What happens if you pelt it with about a hundred paintballs? Low tech countermeasures to high tech weapons.

Get that thing a skateboard

Haha

Runs like Steven Seagal. Ghey.

it's called planned obsolescence

meanwhile musk's robot can't stand up without three people holding it

ngl, this is cool as fk, those fuckers will be able to do several dangerous jobs and tasks

I have that same table saw, juz sayin

Now all you need is the robot…just sayin.

The airlines are looking at new pilot material right there.

why do we need robots that can do flips?

how is that a useful feature to have in a robot?

they gonna enter the olympics or x games?


way to spend time on useless features

it took us 10 years to teach a robot how to do a flip!

yeah we need robots who can do 540 front flips to get to all those dangerous jobs and tasks

boss I can't fix that wire, I can only do a 360 front flip, you need a robot

I'm sure they'll put guns on it.

ya'll act like you've never seen I Robot.

Humans do not use technology to better humans, they use it to control us.

It's only a matter of time until police using headgear to control these bots.

The streets will be patrolled by both AI and Human Controlled robots.

Finally, the second amendment will be invalid.



These bots will be the end of us.

That’s insane. I know it’s real, but it looks like cgi.

Do they wash windows?

1 Hour worktime

2 Hour battery recharge

But it can't love :(

Yeah there's something surreal to it for sure.

great, now we can kiss all those human jobs away that require being able to do 540 front flips

finally science has solved the 540 front flip issue plaguing humanity for centuries

it is surreal engineers wasted years trying to make robots do completely useless and unnecessary motions

they building a parkour gymnastics team?

amazing!

it's come a long way.

nah man, that is for suckers..... robots will be flipping and twirling into the future

Like disarming populations

meanwhile elon musk's robot can't stand and shits the bed
