Very cool
The replacment of low education employment … not everyone can be engineers so where do these people go???
If its America, straight to the streets or jail or a combination….
Cool to see all the robot designs you had to iterate before making a commercial robot.
This is much better than dancing and backflips
Wish i could invest in this company.
Oh great! Less jobs for us humans out here. Thanks guys.
A South Korean man in his 40s, who worked for a robotics company, was crushed to death by a robot after the machine apparently failed to differentiate him from the boxes of produce it was handling.
The man was inspecting the robot’s sensor operations at a distribution centre for agricultural produce in South Gyeongsang province.
The robot was lifting boxes filled with bell peppers and placing them on a pallet when it malfunctioned and identified the man as a box, according to the Yonhap news agency.
We are definitely going to a jobless world
Really cool. I wish I could work at Boston Dynamics.
Robot arms have large power requirements. The base must be just a large block of lithium batteries.
Progress has been very slow at Boston Dynamics but seems to be speeding up.
Tesla bot is coming
what if my boxes have covers ?
To replace a $35k/yr worker with a $100k robot, you have to guarantee that robot will work perfectly for 3 years
People who are asked to unload them lol
I was wondering how they were going to STRETCH this video for 9 minutes lol
Man, I remember trying to explain to people that humanoid-shaped robots weren't going to be very useful as general-purpose utility robots years ago and people thought I was wrong. After all, humans are shaped like humans and we, by definition, do all the things humans can do, right? I am glad to finally be vindicated, seeing this kind of work being done.
If the dog is $80K, it's scary to think how much this is.
Interesting, China will have problems with its workforce because of the one child policy in the near future, so if China will be able to replace a part of its workforce with robots then it will be lightyears away from America.
I support that future, because i dont believe that America can stay competitive when it is always meddling in major conflicts.
Nice
