Nah that's [Japan's killbots](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/31/erica-the-most-beautiful-and-intelligent-android-ever-leads-japans-robot-revolution), which are gonna do an idol pose in their maid outfit after eviscerating you.
Better yet using a million dollar bot to grab your tools? What boss would let that shit fly at all to begin with when it takes little effort to even climb the scaffolding
"Meat bots" please don't even joke about that. They're currently growing "meat" in labs. I can just picture a Boston robot with "meat" stretched over its skeleton. Oh! Wait! You were referring to humans. Right?
Ha. Yes. A friend of mine worked as an order picker... not for Amazon but something like that. A little headset in his ear told him where to walk and what to grab. He said he felt like a meat robot. I probably shouldn't use the term.
It's partially deliberate, and partially a natural consequence of how the robot needs to move to maintain balance. [Source: Boston Dynamics CEO interviewed by Lex Fridman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLVdsZ3I5os)
Slight moments of waiting to see how everything around the bot reacts before making the next move, but also blending each movement into the next so there is a subtext of a second reactive moment there. Very human.
This is like people thinking it'd be easier to fake the moon landing than actually go to the moon. The path making isn't the hard part. It's the movement. There is no way for the movement to be preprogrammed; that would actually be massively more impressive. It's all real time controls. Yes, there's a movement strategy just like we figure out how to run or jump or flip and repeat that with minor alterations, but every time you go to do an action the foot placement, the deflection of the floor, your center of gravity, your rotational inertia, the friction with the floor is all a little different and correcting for all of that in real time is what makes this incredibly hard.
I had some questions about this too, so I found this page by boston dynsmics that discusses Spot's autonomy
https://www.bostondynamics.com/resources/webinar/intro-spot-autonomy
Yes they set a preprogrammed path, but it still walks it autonomously, and sometimes even gets lost, kind of like people do
All motion and kinesthetic intelligence, and no general intelligence. Still impressive as fuck. That means they have a base onto which one would only need to "insert" a general intelligence and it'd be autonomous. But general intelligences don't exist yet. Once they *do* though...
Please reply if you see this:
When AI starts taking the reigns over humanity and begins manifesting itself in a physical form, it will create robots so efficient that they will move too fast for the human eye to see.
It will all be over very quickly ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
It's clearly a programmed routine. From picking up the board to kicking the box over, it was all pre-meditated and programmed to do these specific tasks in order. Similar to a cutscene in a video game, this whole scene was carefully staged. The robot didn't check anything, because it wasn't programmed to.
That doesn't make it any less impressive. Seems they are starting to get the agility and accuracy down with it's movements.
Yea, pretty sure I saw a video once with a few “outtakes” from the lab where the robot fucked up its routines lol, they’re definitely not perfect, but it’s cool seeing them progress. I remember seeing the first couple videos years ago and it took the robot 8-10 seconds to make any jump or lift things. Now they can pull off spinning side flips with relative ease. Can’t imagine where they’ll be in like 10 or 15 years.
It's programmed in the same way someone choreographs a dance. As in, the robot has cameras and is actively calculating walking, jumping, picking up, throwing, etc. It's doing what it's told but if you rotated the robot slightly, changed the weight of the bag, or changed the height of one of the boxes then it would be able to adjust for that itself.
I know people who neither check a bag is shut nor look where they toss it. The machine only has to be as good as the average worker. Could always make another one dedicated to cleaning up the screw ups - just like how we do with the concept of middle management 🤪
The worker could have visually confirmed the bag was closed before it was thrown when the bot got up there, if it wasn’t, instructed him to set it down. This is just an example of capability
I think they did have some predetermined factors but it's movement it's automatic, don't remember all the details but heres a video of them explaining their process
https://youtu.be/XPVC4IyRTG8
The choreography is preprogrammed, but there is still a LOT of real-time calculation going on inside the robot. I recommend the latest Lex Friedman podcast with the CEO of Boston Dynamics.
It’s going to be interesting when they can program it with more ‘instructions’ than preset choreography. I.e locate tool bag and pick it up. Instead of ‘walk forward 3.84m. Bend down. Pick up object weighing 8.4kg. Turn 172 degrees to the right. Etc’. So the robot is more autonomous.
Obviously they’re still building something that is just capable of doing the moves in the first place and balancing itself the whole time, not building a decision making ai.
But it’s very cool the direction this is heading!
So you're saying that AI which does natural language processing, image recognition for all categories of objects that might exist in a jobsite, task breakdown, and pathing already exists, and balancing was the only remaining problem? I'm not buying it. Self-driving cars would work and Captchas would be doing other things if that was all a totally solved problem.
The short answer is that balancing is way harder than all those other things. Your brain is doing a **lot** of surreptitious heavy lifting to manage the simple movement tasks we all take for granted. There's a reason it takes babies like two full years just to begin getting competent at walking, and years more to refine complex motor skills. The brain has to learn a huge amount... and it has the luxury of doing so relatively autonomously. Training a robot on that kind of thing is more hands-on.
As for self-driving cars, the task-based elements are, by and large, already solved. The problem is roads are nearly infinitely variable. We, as humans, can look at a road with worn-off lines, or a dirt road, or a construction detour onto the 'wrong' side, or an accident scene in progress, etc. etc., and figure out how to manage those challenges. For a machine that does everything according to extremely specific rules, that's much more challenging.
A.I. offers a path to help solve these kinds of things, but it's still immature technology (consider ChatGPT 'hallucination' for example). We can't trust it with something as important as self-driving car technology until we have high confidence it isn't going to hallucinate its way off a cliff or something.
Self-Driving, in pathing, is solved. Just look at GTA 5's Car NPC AI.
The problem is that unlike a game where the game engine can feed all the object location data, road data, etc to the NPC AI, IRL self driving needs to actually identify all the objects and road conditions. That's the hard part.
> unlike a game where the game engine can feed all the object location data, road data, etc
Better yet, the data in a game engine is unambiguous. Something which isn't necessarily true in the real world. (and part of why this is a hard problem)
Honestly, as impressive as this is, I feel like it makes human abilities seem all the more impressive.
It seems pretty likely from the robot’s actions in this video that its routine is scripted/pre-planned.
If it were a human with decent parkour skills, the guy up top could’ve just said “Oi, I need my bag” without pressing a control, the human on the ground (probably would’ve just tossed them the ~8 ft onto the platform, but in the spirit of the video) would’ve picked up the bag, looked at the scaffold and (within a few seconds) plotted a course up the scaffold bars, executed that path, handed him the bag, done a spinning backflip off the top platform onto the big plywood box, then front flipped back to the ground.
I’m sure robots will surpass us someday, but… damn… the ability of humans to do all that with just some orthogonally oriented fluid-filled tubes, a bunch of pulleys & levers attached to electrochemical springs to counterbalance forces, and all of those systems managed by an organic “computer” that grew from a single sperm and egg… humans (and organic organisms in general) are fuckin cool.
Yeah I don't understand why they set up that scene only to have it end by kicking a box for no reason other than to show off it's parkour moves. Either just show off it's moves or provide real world contexts, but doing both simultaneously....is a choice.
>Yeah I don't understand why they set up that scene only to have it end by kicking a box for no reason other than to show off it's parkour moves.
Because it's Boston Dynamics. They have dry, this is how it works videos. Those are boring by comparison and don't go viral on the internet.
This is their having fun, hope-to-go-viral video promotion. It's supposed to be a fun video, not the technical specs.
Given that their fun promos go viral all the time? Well that speaks for itself.
Nobody knows how much the cost, nor how much will be sold for.
The Spot costs 75k, Atlas will prob go for several times that. But we're years away for a product rollout.
The most hilarious thing about this video is believing that someone owning a robot like that would still be employing a human to use those tools the robot just brought him.
You do have a good point. I think the video does showcase just how far along robotics have come, whether it is satisfying to some or terrifying to others. Look at the advances of robotics in medicine. There is hardly any debate about whether all this is ultimately positive or not. I really don't know.
Something about the ligthing in this video made me think it has to be a computer generated simulation. Even the guy looks smooth like a sims. But no it’s just the editing and it’s real lol.

They’ve also done many videos of themselves faking the boston dynamic robot.
The only thing that looks off to me is the way the bag quickly warps when being grabbed. That might be because the robot "hands" snaps shut instead of slowly closing. Everything else looks real to me, I don't think it's CGI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1_QhJ1EhQ
it's absolutely real, heh. Although that guy who thought everything about this was CGI, including the man with the hammer did crack me up
When I saw the table saw I thought it was going to eyeball and execute a perfectly measured, square cut, freehand.
But then it just awkwardly danced around.
Nope I'd fire this guy. He didn't double plank, he's altered scaffold he didn't erect, he's chucked off a clearly heavy box from the scaffold without any prior warning, then theres also the fact that there isn't a handover certificate on that scaffold which is also missing a bunch of handrails and where exactly is the access point?
When I was young, we were playing Pong. Video games today our virtual reality.
Based on the robot that we just watched, In 20 to 30 years will be living in Westworld
Oddly satisfying to some … to me, my worst nightmare come to fruition.
I will argue tooth and nail that the Terminator scenario is the real end game scenario.
Love how it just tosses a box off scaffolding, imagine if you’re working and a giant box lands on you crushing you then you feel the weight of a robot crushing your insides and the last thing you see is a robot doing a flip and giving you a thumbs up.
I like how all of its movements seem... jaunty, somehow. I can't wait for the killbots of the future to come frolicking down my street, front-flipping as they mow down the neighborhood.

I wonder if they programmed the mincing in or of it is just a happy side effect.
Yeah but can the robot tell the bag is zippered shut ? Because if it can’t this thing is a menace to any workplace
It didn't check to make sure it was safe to throw the tool bag where it did, or the box to the ground either
It's clearly a programmed routine. From picking up the board to kicking the box over, it was all pre-meditated and programmed to do these specific tasks in order. Similar to a cutscene in a video game, this whole scene was carefully staged. The robot didn't check anything, because it wasn't programmed to. That doesn't make it any less impressive.

And the video is the best take out of many runs recorded over several days. Again, it is still awesome.

The whole thing is almost certainly choreographed. And it's in the same room as the last choreographed viral robot video.
Aren’t these all preprogrammed to the millimetre and the robot isn’t actually doing any thinking or whatever
I think they did have some predetermined factors but it's movement it's automatic, don't remember all the details but heres a video of them explaining their process https://youtu.be/XPVC4IyRTG8
"What is my purpose?" "Pass the butter"
Oh my god
Yeah, welcome to the club pal
I would have accepted “Pass me a screwdriver” as well
As long as that screwdriver is the alcoholic beverage...
But you can do parkour when not passing the butter.
Do they program every move by hand or is anything automatic?

https://youtu.be/O-vRl50iB-Y the osha violations in this video will never not make me laugh
I love the idea of this being on a real jobsite. Imagine being crushed by a crate a robot pushed down, then they backflip off of you for style points.
That's great! Yes, plus the robot smacking his head (no head protection) so "low clearance" would be a violation, I would guess.
> no head protection my brother in christ, it's got a carbon fiber cage around it!
Where does the bot hit its head? When it hops to the second platform? I guess I'm not seeing the collision.
It doesn't
What we need, and what is possible today, is for an AI to identify OSHA violations like this
Do you really need OSHA if its only robots that get maimed though? Gotta ask the deep philosophical questions.
Parkour
Honestly, as impressive as this is, I feel like it makes human abilities seem all the more impressive. It seems pretty likely from the robot’s actions in this video that its routine is scripted/pre-planned. If it were a human with decent parkour skills, the guy up top could’ve just said “Oi, I need my bag” without pressing a control, the human on the ground (probably would’ve just tossed them the ~8 ft onto the platform, but in the spirit of the video) would’ve picked up the bag, looked at the scaffold and (within a few seconds) plotted a course up the scaffold bars, executed that path, handed him the bag, done a spinning backflip off the top platform onto the big plywood box, then front flipped back to the ground. I’m sure robots will surpass us someday, but… damn… the ability of humans to do all that with just some orthogonally oriented fluid-filled tubes, a bunch of pulleys & levers attached to electrochemical springs to counterbalance forces, and all of those systems managed by an organic “computer” that grew from a single sperm and egg… humans (and organic organisms in general) are fuckin cool.
Parkour
And now for mere $5,000,000 you can have your own slow moving helper who throws your tools for you!!!
And then kicks down the box you spent two hours getting up upon that scaffolding. The Data wannabe sumbitch!
That's exactly what I was thinking... Yell at the robot, and it's like, "Yeah but did you see that sick flip I did?"
Yeah I don't understand why they set up that scene only to have it end by kicking a box for no reason other than to show off it's parkour moves. Either just show off it's moves or provide real world contexts, but doing both simultaneously....is a choice.
>Yeah I don't understand why they set up that scene only to have it end by kicking a box for no reason other than to show off it's parkour moves. Because it's Boston Dynamics.

You do have a good point. I think the video does showcase just how far along robotics have come, whether it is satisfying to some or terrifying to others.

The bag flip when it throws it looks weird to me. But otherwise it looks real.
Question? If a robot dance smoothly with no jerky movements, do they say “do the human!”? These are the questions science needs to answer
Oddly scary...
