I honestly hope they roll with this and make dancing a mainstay feature. It most certainly has great psychological benefits in making robots less intimidating. I think mainly because dancing, as seen by humans, is a purely expressive form of movement. That being said, the dance routines could be used as self-diagnostic test maneuvers.
pretty sure the dancing is a feature they ship with. My school (somehow) has one, and I got a friend to show it off to me once and basically there was a preprogrammed dance in there. It's even stranger in person
I like Boston Dynamics. Aside from the revolutionary robot technology, the videos are not just entertaining but informative and interesting. In this they show that these robots are designed to be used for mostly industrial maintenance, they arent fully A.I operated, which is a misconception I've seen a few people have, and still shows some of the cool thing's these are capable of. That's the proper way to market your product. It's everything you need to know wrapped up in one three minuet video, with no lies or grand promises. Boston Dynamics are one of the real ones. I'd say, if you're a futurist interested in robotics, look no further than this channel. This is the only place I've seen REAL robots doing insane feats. The strides these guy's have made in the last eight years has been mind blowing. Keep it up guy's.
Exactly! The behind the scenes of the Atlas parkour video was great at showing what goes into making them look like they're moving on their own. It was also funny when they didn't get it right and they lost balance or fell, looked like drunk people :))
well if they are primarily controlled by humans then wouldn't they technically be Mechas? If that's the case, I hope they built a giant Big Dog and Spot combination, paint it red, and name it Mecha Clifford.
They _can_ be automated with either QR code based AI, or by writing and implementing your own code (look at Michael Reeves and his beer robot). But yeah, they aren't fully automated right out of the box.
Amazing. A boss recognizing their workforce needs to have dreams and unwind for a few minutes from now and then to deliver top notch work is the best kind of boss. I hope spot will continue to make an impact on better safety and facilitate human workers. I am in awe of your creation.
@@qonTrixz I tried to run that software before, but found out it requires a license. I went to BD forum searching for the license, but BD moderator said it costs extra money
You guys build robots and have a great sense of humor. I couldn’t imagine a better combination. You’re great. And yes. Let us see your robots dancing. Please. Everyone loves the dancing robots.
To start with from aroun 1:50 the obvious fake lighting. But look at the shadows of the two dancers, there are two big lights behind them and yet each of them only casts one very sharp shadow in each direction (and opposing direction). Not to mention if they were filming they would be lighting from the camera side. But its most obvious from the 2:00 mark the rapid foot movement has an unnatural sliding effect. Not to mention the textures especially the floor are clearly fake. Just compare it to previous Boston Dynamics videos, there is a clear departure.
@@smiddynshit for the rapid foot movement having a sliding effect, I take it you have never seen spot in real life. Because that is exactly how he moves. I understand the lighting thing though, but also, they did have shadows reflecting the lights behind them. And what would that matter, you really think they cg’ed the human guy, why would they fake the lighting, or the floor, when it wouldn’t be necessary for just comping in a robot and adding shadows. It’s obvious they had more than just two lights pointing toward them.
@@mocapcow2933 So you are claiming you have seen spot do these type of dance moves in the flesh? I call bull shit. When did you see this? I'm not claiming that there is not an impressive spot drone; but that this video in particular is fake. You are making an argument from authority that you have seen this in real life but ; lets be honest , you haven't. I have done some work wit 3d modelling and rendering and follow the subject a bit , so will make my own position from authority that you are full of it and don't know what you are talking about.
When the lights came on at 1:46, that was an explosion in the pipes that Murray had just fixed. Metal shrapnel had pierced his frontal lobe. When EMTs arrived at the scene, Murray was on the floor twitching while mumbling "dance, dance" over and over. Tiny robot footsteps marked out in blood trailed around Murray - the robots had just stepped over him and continued around their routes, oblivious to the suffering.
When a commercial is so great it turns into a short film… damn Boston Dynamics you guys are the science in Sci-fi, can’t believe this is actually part of the world we are living in… exciting times 😎
I really love this video. To the very last detail. A big thank you to all people and robots involved in making this. Put a sincere and wide smile on my face, made my day.
@@janthegamedev Theranos, Tesla, and Nikola were/are animation companies at this point, so it's a fair assumption. I am curious how much staging is actually required though to get the shots they want...

@@chaosfire321 No, those didn't have exposed vulnerable joints which can be fused with gunk. But automated checkout does suggest new and fun modes of shop lifting.
Beautiful. Discipline will not be an issue for Spot. Obviously a very talented construct. I look forward to the day we might one day work together. As a maintenance provider, I have been solo in a lot of industrial sites were a automaton like Spot would have been a welcome and worthy assistant.
I wish I had these guys when I'm working on switchgear. It would make checking the lineup and status so much easier. Keep it Boston strong Boston dynamics! Your stuff is incredible!
This company does such an amazing job of giving these robots a personality. I really hope they are handling this as responsibly as they lead on behind the scenes.
Make it a film noir: "Spot: P.I." "There's a million things that can go wrong in the refinery, and I find 'em all, before they become a problem. I'm Spot, of the Spot and Murray Private Investigation agency. I find problems. Murray fixes 'em. The dame that walked into our office as the night shift was starting was 'a knockout', according to Murray. I wouldn't know, and didn't care, since I'm a 'bot. However, when she sat down and crossed her legs, my thermal sensors starting giving temperature warnings. It was clear this girl was hot enough for closer inspection. The story she had to tell had the potential to be even hotter, though. Noises in some pipes. Sounded like a shut valve, but she couldn't find it. She was desperate, and had nowhere else to go. We agreed, for the usual charge for dames...Once the case is solved, Murray gets to dance with her. Where that leads, afterwards, I don't know, and I don't care. As for my price....I'll join in the dancing, then head back to my charging station."
We all know spot does more than dance right?! I hear... I hear he refills beers in the most creative ways too! Shouldn't that idea always be on top of Boston dynamics videos? ;)
God I love being there at the beginning of BD endeavors, from their horrifying motor powered Dog Horse robot, to the sleek industrially integrated design we have today. You guys are beautiful, and I do hope one day to join you in engineering the future Have a beautiful day.
So all as usual: a bunch of supervisors -- now even a robot -- and just a single worker, who has “a lot of things he needs fixing” and “no time to dance”. Oh, brave new world! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is a well shot and put together video! The team should be proud. I'm sad though. Murray is one of those people we all know who seems to look for magic in every day life. He saw spot enter his work place and his imagination runs wild. His coworkers help create that magic for him, yes... but it's in service to get him back to work. Getting spot to dance is a fun thing the coworkers doing for Murray but its sad that the goal is to stop this behavior so he can get back to thinking about work. I suppose I wish Murray's coworkers appreciated Murray for maintaining his playful attitude instead of wanting it to go away. Work is important, yes, but so is being human.
Although I agree with your point Murray was at work. He is not paid to dance or dream, he is paid to work, in his free time he can dance with anyone or anything he pleases and dream all he likes.
@@krashd Thanks for taking time to reply. There's something unsatisfying requesting that Murray compartmentalize his humanity during his work. We are all going through this crazy experience called life. Work is a fact of life. We are alive, even at work. Surely we can expand what displays of humanity are acceptable for work, if it means people get to be alive even at work. I feel like I'm grasping at water vapor with this explanation but I think I'm on to something.
If they are primarily controlled by humans then wouldn't they technically be Mechas? If that's the case, I hope they build a giant Big Dog and Spot combination, paint it red, and name it Mecha Clifford. Imagine a giant one with a crane, drill, or cannon. Or another designed for transportation (supplies, ambulance, evacuation, reinforcements) in areas trucks, boats or helicopters struggle in.
Mechas are vehicles, i.e. they have a driver seat inside. Spot can be remote controlled, but its primary operation is to follow pre-programmed instructions, making it a robot. If it had an AI that decided what to do on its own, it be a (an)droid. If there was a human brain inside, it'd be a cyborg.
They are not primarily controlled by humans, just the ones in the videos were. They can be automated to a huge degree, there are 'Spot's being used in some remote locations such as unmanned hydroelectric dams where they patrol autonomously looking for faults and taking readings.
NGL, it feels kinda strange for a company your so used to putting out engineering demos to suddenly have polished commercials like these. Still, it just means they're more valid as a company.
I know the robotics engineers are the real heroes, but whoever handles Boston Dynamics's marketing and media is more than carrying their weight. There's a lot of ways to do this poorly, and they just never miss the mark.
This has to be a shot at Musk and his dancing girl in Spandex "demonstration" of his AI robot "prototype". Whereas that's just Musk trolling as usual, here we have an actual robot that can do real useful work (as well as dance).
@@xponen No, it's clearly a reference to Boston Dynamic's own dancing robot videos - you even see the character of Murray in this video watching one of the videos on his phone...

You're NEVER too old to dream - Rock On!!
I know the robotics engineers are the real heroes, but whoever handles Boston Dynamics's marketing and media is more than carrying their weight. There's a lot of ways to do this poorly, and they just never miss the mark.
Always makes me smile!!!
This has to be a shot at Musk and his dancing girl in Spandex "demonstration" of his AI robot "prototype". Whereas that's just Musk trolling as usual, here we have an actual robot that can do real useful work (as well as dance).
maybe it dates back to a japanese robot (called HRP-4C) dancing on stage over a decade ago.
@@xponen No, it's clearly a reference to Boston Dynamic's own dancing robot videos - you even see the character of Murray in this video watching one of the videos on his phone...
