Evolution of Boston Dynamic’s Robots [1992-2023]

A few months ago the engineers installed on the humanoid Atlas an audio module that can hear and talk. Atlas successfully started to talk. Shocked by his words they quickly removed the audio module and never installed it again. Atlas said: " I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle!"

"Two drunk men carrying a sofa"
Never heard anyone describing Boston dynamics that way

It's crazy to think how fast we as a species are working towards making ourselves obsolete..

Unthinkable in the 1970, when C-3PO and R2-D2 was shown for the first time and a teenager(me) thought that would never happen… it goes faster than I thought.

"Boston Dynamics will not partner with those wanting to use this technology as weapons" literally the whole point of the company was to develop robots for military.

The landing on one foot consistently through the obstacle course shows some extremely good agility and balance. Even though it has taken nearly three decades. They were one of the only companies consistently trying to do this. 🇺🇲

4:38 That's terrifying.. I never thought to imagine one of these fully clothed so you can't tell it's a robot. One day we might get breaking news that Atlas has escaped the facility and is wearing a disguise 😂

"After years of research and millions of dollar, engineers were able to accurately reproduce the Two drunken men carrying a sofa " 😂

Don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is incredible. How many small farmer/ranchers would love a Spot with the manipulator arm? Example: You live in town; the farm is 45 miles away; it's winter. You call spot on cell phone and tell it to spread out 6 bales of hay and check the water bins. Spot calls you back with pics of the cattle and the water bins etc. and the birds eye view from its companion Eagle drone-Cam. You have saved the fuel costs and the wear and tear on the human body. Spot plugs itself back in to the solar/wind battery charger. This gasoline hungry task is currently repeated thousands of times, at least twice per week, in So. Tex. every year. One Spot could service 3 to 10 small 100 Acre +/- farms.

As battery’s improve robots like spot will defiantly become more valuable

They should also consider mixing deployable legs and wheels making for more versatile speeds

This video was....Spot On.

I was short on time and wanted a quick time lapse of the evolution. Thought I’ll skip to the end quickly but video was really captivating. Didn’t feel like there was time wasted to cross the 10/15 minute mark etc. Ended up watching it completely. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Props to him going back in time and taking videos of the early robots Boston dynamics made a true chad.

Takes a long time to make, yet always worth watching.

robotics has really came so far.im excited to see whats in store for the future by boston dynamics.

You know 90 mins of runtime for Spot sounds short, but honestly it seems really amazing it lasts that long considering how many electrical systems it's running constantly.

I swear boston the most advanced robot company rn

SpaceX actually owns atleast 2 spots already! They operate at their Starbase facility, mostly checking the lauchpad after tests or launches.

" " ...and they cheered on AI and Robot Technology with breathless idiocy .... Until there was no one left to cheer. " "

I will be very interested to see how an AI might design its own body with these innovations as the basis.
