Why SpaceX Bought a Robotic Dog

  • Over the last couple of years, SpaceX have been rapidly building and testing their Starship prototypes. But in order to get the most out of each test, SpaceX had to buy and hire a robotic dog from Boston Dynamics. This video looks at how SpaceX are using their robotic dog and how similar robotic creatures could be used when we send the first humans to Mars.

      I don’t think they actually bought it. Sure a trade or sponsorship for marketing... SpaceX is followed by everyone across the globe because of Elon and the fact they’re having tons of success... but yes they’re gonna get way more. Once one is trained it can be shared. Just wait till neurolink and spot lmao

      I don't know about Boston Dynamics specifically but I can definitely see SpaceX investing further into robotics and automation. There are so many jobs that don't require human skills to complete, or can be used in preparation for and complementary to humans. For instance, a robot that can pave a hardened surface for landing on the moon, or a self-driving vehicle than can move supplies to where they're needed.

    I like the video. I like the sponsor. I do not like how both is mixed. Makes me feel like this is nothing but an ad. Basically using SpaceX’s name (and footage) to drive ad revenue.
    I understand that the UA-cam ecosystem rewards such behavior. But I think you can do better and still make money. How about this:
    “I love making these videos. These are the guys who are sponsoring this channel. This is why I believe the product is important.”
    Keep up the good work!

    Good video, but you missed the whole point of SpaceX using Spot. This robot dog has a very sophisticated AI in it, and it can preform operations entirely independently given a guideline of what the task is... so no, humans don’t need to “operate” it necessarily, which resolves the issue of long latency transmissions. Do more research in this dog, it’s really fascinating. Adam Savage uploaded a very informative video on it that would be incredibly beneficial to watch.

      Dyson calls this series of robot "spot", kinda like ford calls their cars "mustang" or "Escape"
      When spacex bought a spot robot, they named it Zeus, probably so they could differentiate it from other robotic dogs in the future, and because of the memes

    Wow, what's the range on the wireless control of that dog? Is it connecting to a cell tower or something?

    In order to colonize and live on Mars or on the mon, we need a variety of robots to do different jobs in the interior and exterior environments where humans cannot do by themselves. So, we need to train more young engineers and scientists to specialize this field to help speed up the progress as space colonization becomes affordable and achievable.

    Spot is a good purchase. It does a mean Moon Walk.

    Sending Zeus to Mars would be so cool. If I was SpaceX I'd be working on Mars Spot now. Would be a great survey robot.
