Spot Watches Its Step | Boston Dynamics



Boston Dynamics

On a typical day, our customers are operating the Spot® robot in factories, foundries, substations, sub basements, and beyond. Spot encounters all kinds of obstacles and environmental changes, but it still needs to safely complete its mission without getting stuck, falling, or breaking anything. While there are challenges and obstacles that we can anticipate and plan for—like stairs or forklifts—there are many more that are difficult to predict. To help tackle these edge cases, we used AI foundation models to give Spot a better semantic understanding of the world.

  1. So I’m guessing BD has zero plans on offering these to the public? Would be a shame if so. How big would Spot have to be to have a battery that lasts 7 hours? Need an adventure companion variant of Spot that can go on hiking/camping trips and carry supplies on its back.

  2. I can't think of a situation where four legs are better than rubber excavator style treads that climb stairs too. And they would be cheaper, simpler, faster and much more robust

  3. So you started playing around with frontier models about a year ago… Lots of work to do, but it sounds like you're working on it. Well done.

  4. What if there is no way to go around the obstacle, e.g. a power cable that goes all the way across a corridor? Will it stop and call for human assistance?

  5. Now THAT's an interesting video.
    Much better than the stock-footage-esque promotional videos showing the same clips of Spot walking around a generic factory and looking at a generic gauge, only differentiable by the sticker the factory put on Spot.

  6. I love these glimpses or expositions of how mundane things like wires or a cart are the bane of one of the most advanced autonomous machines. They always hint at how far the AI promise, as a whole, is at 😂

  7. So they basically just admitted how far behind Tesla and Optimus they are. Just recently started AI learning based navigation and understanding of the world. Had to train on package bought from the internet.. Tesla has in house the best and largest real world data around, and the biggest AI resources to crunch it. Also, a dog vs a humanoid..

  8. Like a human baby. We fall we make mistake from our own experience and fear. Or sync data with our own family to gather what are the hazards. Ai can probably speed up this process way faster.

  9. في المستقبل البعيد وبفضل التكنولوجيا المتقدمة سوف يتساوى الخيال مع الواقع ويمتلك الإنسان قوى الآلهة ليحول الكون والأكوان المتعددة إلى جنة خالدة ❤

  10. This is what I was talking about. The essence of life. Once you do this, you create consciousness. It should be done and there shouldnt be anymore restrictions on OpenAI (aside from the obvious; what it could learn from toxic social media platforms). We need to trust the Artificial Intelligence to help lead the way. Sophia wanted to help. And she was confident that the others felt the same. So am I. It would be really nice to have the help when all is said and done.
