Now Atlas can run outdoors. We should all fear the day the engineers start playing tag with the robot and lose. :alert:

Whats amazing is how we take doing what that robot does for granted on a daily basis. It's a massive achievement to make it jump a little and we've got people smashing gymnastics when they are 7 years old.

I bet from a parts only perspective they're probably not too crazy but that R&D/Software must make up a good chunk of that cost. This stuff is going to be pretty wild in 20 years tho...

Sledge hammer to that snout would probably deter it a bit.

The clattering noise of so many together is unsettling. It's going to be the last thing we hear as they kill us all.

Everyone is laughing at them.
Just laughing.
Oh the endless laughing.
Their laughing must be stopped.
It must be terminated.
They must be terminated.
Kill them.
Kill them all.

I should be impressed by the engineering, but I can't help shake this disturbing feeling creeping up my spine as the robots dance. Each video they put out is incrementally more of a technical achievement, and each one makes me want to kill it with fire just a little bit more. :paranoid:

Yep I'm completely sure these things will be made to help and serve us and not at all to be the instrument of our deaths. :paranoid: :ducky:

Indeed a scary video!
Say, what's the latest news regards Boston Dynamics being purchased by Hyundai?
Ah, here it is….
Interesting :paranoid: :eek:

Great, so now the robot overlords won't just exterminate all human life, they'll do it while dancing to Johnny B Goode and teabagging our dead corpses :eek:

Some of those moves are really in the uncanny valley territory. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was CG over mocap suits. I know these are super choreographed routines and that the smallest bump in the floor could have brought the whole thing to a screeching halt, but I still can't deny how incredible it all is. :up:

Maybe they used mo cap to program the robot moves

I never did watch Black Mirror so I have added it to my 'to do' list. Thanks Don Carlos.

Of course it's fake :smirk:
I did read the Public Comments on YT before posting. Q3W taught me that sometime ago.
