Introducing Handle



Boston Dynamics

Handle is a research robot that stands 6.5 ft tall, travels at 9 mph and jumps 4​ ​feet vertically. ​It uses electric power to operate both electric and hydraulic actuators, with a range of about 15 miles on one battery charge. ​​​Handle uses many of the same dynamics, balance and mobile manipulation principles​ found in the quadruped and biped robots we build, but with only about 10 actuated joints, it is significantly less complex. Wheels are efficient on flat surfaces while legs can go almost anywhere: by combining wheels and legs Handle can have the best of both worlds.

  1. + I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray… God bless you as you share this message to others.

  2. Inquiry into Capabilities:
    "Handle's design is impressive! How does combining wheels and legs enhance its mobility compared to traditional designs? What environments is it best suited for?"

    Appreciation for Innovation:
    "Boston Dynamics never ceases to amaze with their innovations. Handle’s ability to travel and jump with such precision is truly next-level. Excited to see how it develops!"

    Technical Question:
    "Very cool demonstration! Can you go into more detail about the hydraulic actuators Handle uses? How do they contribute to its speed and agility?"

    Discussion on Applications:
    "I'm curious about the practical applications for Handle in industrial settings. Could it be used in warehouses, and what tasks would it handle there?"

    Future-Oriented Comment:
    "Seeing Handle in action makes me wonder about the future of such robots in daily life. What’s the next big milestone for Handle at Boston Dynamics?"

  3. Just came back to look at this video of Handle again years later. What a cool robot. I don't think I ever realised how amazing the way this used the bend of its legs and balance to move so smoothly and to turn in circles. Imagine jumping and running downstairs like that. I know that this robot became something a bit different later, but the use of legs and wheels in this was so incredible
