I am a simple man. I see robots, I hit like.
I am a simple man. I see Boston Dynamics, I think of Black Mirror.
Nothing is ever so simple now is it?.
Before robot hit you first.
same
yes. yes you are.
the amount of people that thinks this is somehow scarier than the real weapons that exist right now is too damn high!
Thank You! It makes me so sad when people say that Boston dynamics is evil. They represent some of the smartest people in the world
Attach a google assistant to it and let the robot bring tools and beer on voice command :P
We gonna need a lotof advanced software like that otherwise it will be an amazing useless bot
then we will have skynet
Robots or ai are still prettyyyyy bad at video recognition
That's not as far fetched as you think, like he said they made it so you 3rd parties can run their own programs, as for the google assistant part, its not that complicated to add google assistant to a raspberry pie via their sdk and program it the robot to perform certain actions via voice.
ArcticPoise dude just how do you think you "program it the robot to perform certain actions"? Extremely smart people have been working on this for decades and it's not done yet. Watch videos on state-of-the-art of a robot folding laundry.
It so beautiful. Boston Dynamics You do really good things. Thank you.
Incredible.
my guess is a 10x reduction was from $1mil to $100k
Very true im sure sadly. I'd love to tinker with a spotmini
Softbank also acquired Aldebaran with their great Nao robot. Softbank will be THE robot company.
Imagine firefighters using Spot to go up a stairwell and clear a building without putting firefighters lives' in danager.
Sean Crees whats spot gonna do? Look at them and walk away? Who will drag them out lmao
Lets see, just off the top of my head. Could put a small Air tank on the back of Spot in case it finds someone so they have clean air to breath then lead them out of the building, or provide a map for figherfighters to get to that person. Create a map on the way to the person to show firefighters real time obstacles they will need to navigate to get to that person so they are prepared before they go into the building. Clear an unoccupied building without a person having to go through the building putting himself at risk when there ends up being no one in the building.
@Sean Crees - Bravo! Good on you for being a visionary. People like YODZY are too narrow minded to see its potential. 1st response is a good idea for using Spotmini. Like you said about bringing oxygen to people who need it. In addition to that, it could bring first aid kit, AED etc.
YODZY Spot has an arm in this very video. Admittedly, it probably can't drag anyone bigger than a toddler at this point, but it's not like they're anywhere near finished designing it. Also, the firefighters could still drag them out. Spot would at the very least save them time by searching the houses.
Or imagine that thing with a auto-aim machine gun in the back!
SpotMini with the arm. First job - clean the environment. (pick up all the trashes after a big music festival, clean beach or parks). Second job - collect food. (go to the forest or fields and collect mushrooms or berries or pick up apples from the ground).
13:54 absolutely amazing
Marc Raibert is going to change the world.
Already has.
I like Spot Mini. Imagine all the best things it can do.
We've gotten as far as making humanoid robots yet I'm still seeing interlace combing in the video when I'm not supposed to.
Arthur Hakhverdian sounds like you've got some coding and engineering to do.
I'd say TechChurch's video guy has some homework to do.
Google should use Google Home as an interface to Spotmini ...
Those robots can be amazing security guards and patrol units!!
That black spot mini looks sick! Matte Black Robot haha
I think they should set up a robot on livestream, that people at random can use the web to control,, just to sake of trying to operate the robot/sharing the experience, and proliferating the controls so that more people can have more ideas
I thought some applications. (Well, if humans can do it, then we dont need robots, i like my job). If mail delivery moves to automation, some package drops will be better with legs. Farming is traditionally a big flat field, but only because of tractors and combines. Lots of agriculture would go better with plants in little uneven surfaced areas like landscaped gardens, but the scale and work required to maintain, plant, and harvest such scapes means that agriculture remains on a big flat plain. Moving to urban agriculture might not happen WITHOUT plenty of robots, because the amount of work per food. ..
Surveying some roads is very dangerous. The workers, even when they are on the side of the road, generate extra traffic , which must slow down when people are nearby. Spot could run around witha survey crew and work like the most capable "tripod"
The real world truth is, robotic hands wont be very good for a very lomg time. They will get better, but continue to be a dissappointment for almost every imaginable task. In the warehouse, what works to move things is a fork and pallets. A pallet the size of a saucer could hold my drink. The drink could be on a pallet in the fridge. An arm at the fridge, with a fork-hand, could put the pallet on the floor. A wheeled robot the size of a roomba with a fork could transport the pallet to me, and a spot-mini woth a fork could the loft the saucer/pallet to the table where I sit. Small pallets of various sizes could break the at-home 3d printing industry onto the market, and shelves could be filled with items that live out their days on little pallets.
Mechanically this thing is almost perfect. It just needs a brain to be fully autonomous.
I for one welcome our new robot overlords.
* imagines a gun on wheels *
Meh.
* imagines a gun on legs *
OH MY GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!111
I wonder why the simple fact of it having legs makes all these dudes freak the fuck out
So true
@@WhyDidIJustEatThat It's not the legs that freak out people.
It's the fact that this thing can walk into building and potentially kill you if it has guns attached to it.
Remember, boston dynamics are funded by military, so I can see them mass producing these cute robot dogs and attaching some guns to them as they could easily infiltrate enemy territory, no worries about loses(at least if they can mass produce them cheap enough, and they could just be enough for skouting and gathering some info.
You people simply do not see the potential, there's a good reason why MILITARY funding those robots.
@@machinegear7221 no they're not, they're owned by softbank. And *you* could walk into a building and kill people if you had guns attached to you, too.
@@machinegear7221 A military contract and military funding are 2 different things
Awesome
OK so around $30k for a dog like robot that can gran a beer for me from the fridge downstairs and bring it back to me as WELL as getting the door from the pizza delivery guy? I'm in.
Love u sir
This is truly amazing, I dont see any company right now with a product close to spot mini and atlas, I mean whats their secret ?
You should see the ameca robot.
Marc is a great scientist, no doubt.
When will they use synthetic muscles fibres instead of motors. Also when will they use solid state LIDAR?
I still don't understand why Google management sold Boston Dynamics? It's a perfect fit. Google is going to regret the sale in about 10 years.
I'm seeing robots.
Passing by every day.
I'm seeing robots.
Cold fusion at purdue university by yeong kim to power future spotmini
I just want to know what kind of motors they use in those robots, and where theyre placed. Also maybe what kind of gearing they use if any at all
Scrungo Beepis I wish they would use synthetic muscles
Spot mini is amazing however I hear there are glitches with the house training software.
but it ain't, i heard the butt-cam is shitty :D
3:50 it's learning 360 no scopes, we're so fucked.
the spotMini working along with 3D printing 👍 might revolutionize Construction.
I would love to see the application for a service dog like robot. Obviously that application would need rigorous testing, but it could really help improve lives.
how does a video from 2018 have this much interlacing issues???
The Japanese bought them? So, when do the first Gundams come out?
SpotMini. There goes a persons office job taking files between floors etc
Where the money comes from?
spot looks like real life metal gear especially when you pause the video and get a little bit of motion blur
Make "Spot Nano"
Spot mini will be the most expensive fruit basket distributor at my office!
Boston dynamics and real dolls body - Surrogates (movie) becomes real :)
The robot is switching gaits at 10:58, I've never seen it do that.
Black spot mini looks like a rogue robot
Elon who?
This is Epic, where's the Screams? Applauds?!
why are people still using interlaced video
Spotmini in film production, in search and safety.
I thought this video was going to be about Japan's softbank acquiring Boston's robot technology. Instead, most of the video seems to have nothing to do with that.
great stock to hold long... on otc usa
Attach a drone to the platform, use them combined for search and rescue in difficult terrain
Well now I want a spot mini, but something tells me it won't be priced anywhere near something for a consumer
CEO has to explain away why he created a robot son @4:15
Can you make a SpotNano?
he really don't want to talk about the military short-term applications. that's shady.
besides that, its a fantastic milestone in robotics.
How did the US allow the Japanese to get hold of this new "Manhatten" project?
I'm thinking Atlas must require a lot of power ?
They should make a horselike robot, that should be interesting!..
Morph Verse why
it would, good idea
I could die happy if I could one day walk down the street with my own custom spot mini in front of me and have my own atlas walking besides me as my own private security escort.🤤
Stretchers.... Furniture movers... AI controlled death... oh my.
16:30 Wanna ride a robot dog into the woods?
Make that thing a welder with all alloys
Quite absurd somebody is using interlaced videos in 2018 with all the bands artifacts that creates.
I would be interested in why Boston Dynamics wanted to separate from Google. It seems like a good fit from the outside.
because GOOLAG was just sending their robots to search for cats... as they do with everything
Great, so now we'll have Samurai Robots to fight....
hmm iam wondering how many time will take to usa army to replace that arm with a gun
Already happen i guess (at least on the paper - for sure).
Hopefully zero. If there exists a technology that would be useful in war, you better be using it, because your enemies probably either are, or else they will be soon.
I give it till 2019 at the start of Q3 before someone has a machine gun mounted to one of these things, cool but scary shit
But we already have tanks, fighter jets, attack drones, missiles, automatic weapons, battle ships, nuclear submarines etc etc...How is putting a gun on a robot any worse?
the ludites comment the same shit on every robot and ai video. It's boring honestly at this point.
what haha ludites? I'm in the robotics industry myself I want these things to replace humans.
Nope
вот где карту открывали, туда и идите
12:22 This is its weakness. THIS is how we win! #LaResistance
Shame they didn't demonstrate the self-balancing ability.
I want to be walking on a sidewalk in my city and it becomes a normal thing that I'll see a robot walk by me.
How much longer till that world a reality?
The Atlas robot sounds like he is farting when he walks. How can we be afraid of that???
10:00 - "You know, it has a flat mounting platform so you can mount things.. Things like machine guns. And software plug ins for things like, oh I don't know, auto-aim and auto-firing of the weapons. So it can kill things.. You know, things like humans and stuff."
But we have been building things to kill humans for a long time, we have tanks, fighter jets, attack drones, missiles, automatic weapons, battle ships, nuclear submarines etc etc...How is putting a gun on a robot any worse?
Because a machine will be making the decision to pull the trigger. It puts too much power in the hands of too few, or one, or even none.
There is no (to my knowledge) and never will be a system in the military without a human in the loop, take IMS's for instance.
If you genuinely believe that autonomous robots are going to start killing, you are being irrational, likewise an alarmist.
You sound like a robot
Technically speaking, machines HAVE been killing people autonomously for quite some now - in the form of land mines.
Also, "intelligent" (read - there's a computer in them) mines exist as well...
Robo doggo
.....I feel like I'm watching some kind of prophect message. Head says yes but my gut says no...
Kind of a shame that Boston Dynamics was bought by a foreign company. It's not like America can afford letting that type of talent just go. In the near and far future, countries that posses the best technological patents will be the rulers of the world in all fronts, and America is getting behind. Oh well, if Asian countries are the ones investing in the future, then so be it.
The 3 year plan, infuse some AI into it. The 10 year plan, AI will be self conscious. The 100 year plan, terminate humankind. The 300 year plan, terminate all life in the universe. Haven't we learned anything from Terminator the movie?
doom DOOMM DOOOOM
I bet most of its weight is battery.
The feedback on that countryman microphone bothers me
They had very strange chemistry, lol.
He shouldn't have said "thank you" to spot, some people may have the wrong idea.
How long will it take until there are no humans left? How long until there are only machines building machines perpetuating the process we call life?
We will see when they make a humanoid able to climb a tree. 50 years?
An American company selling out to a foreign agency... Don't let anyone tell you this isn't about money. This is sad!
Then you should fund them...
ButtCam TM
Marc Raibert looks a bit too much like a bald Jeff Bridges, don't you think? Obadiah.......
Robots + Artificial Intelligence = humanoid extinction
Non apathetic law enforcement
Break it now.
shrox2000 you’re primitive and afraid of innovation.
Hardly. I just see the obvious.
Don’t sell!
Now imagine them 50 x larger. Are you scared yet?
no not really
Now imagine one ripping out your organs and selling them on the organ market. Scared yet?
onjoFilms I am afraid of human now
@STC - AI controlled Robots will be 1000x scarier.
No, let me know when it gets Metal Gear Solid 4 bad in the world though. ID TAG weapons ID TAG soldiers ID TAG minds...
Не впечатлён.
But can you sit on the robot and drive like a horse?
Tfw a robot can parkour better than u
You wanna know why google gave up robotics? Because AI is ultimate shit. You need AI to run robots, whitout it its useless... So, they focusing on AI because once AI will be up and running so to speak, it can design robots way better than these guys can. AI robot designs would catch up and leave these guys in a dust in a year, two at most...
Hm, I see you are pro.
Doug Lazamar true true, makes complete sense, google will be overlord afterall
I don't know why people are celebrating this when ultimately these technologies will be used against them.
But it can be used o help us too.
shut up.
How so?
Nuclear physics was used against people as well, yet the same science has lead to major advances in medicine. Even dams and wells; technologies / concepts that likely give you life-providing water have been sometimes used to devastate environments and force people to relocate from downstream.
Every technology has a good and a bad side. Take for example a spear. It was invented by our ancestors for long distance hunting. Of course, it was also used to kill people. But if it wasn't invented, humanity wouldn't have progressed. The average age of these hunter-gatherers is 30 because adults usually die from tackling a predator by hand or by a club. Knowledge isn't passed because 'elders' die early.
Technology gives us more options and based from history, the positive side is always greater than the negative.
