Absolutely! I ended up watching the rickshaw video before this one, but it's cool to see how well he (it?) handles obstacles, stairs, etc. I wonder what kind of battery life this thing has? Just a sidenote, there was a Hollywood film from 2018 that was along these same lines, but involved a motorcycle racer kid, that hooked up with an escaped military robotic dog that had some really fierce capabilities.

@Jordan Ezell - Yeah, I can't wait to see how Adam ties this into his cosplay approach; Spot certainly represents a step-change in the number of themes the Tested crew can now explore :)
Makes you appreciate all the "sensors" and "data feedback" and "instantaneous processing" that is naturally built into us humans that we take for granted when we are young.
@assassinlexx they will triangulate your precise location and relay the data to the robot dogs for more cost effective take downs and time management allocation
Reminds me of Ray Bradburry's Fahrenheit 451 with the robots dogs to hunt Montag down. I mean once these things are armed that's about exactly what they'll be like.
Deb Jones actually, it just shows the humanity that’s in me. The more empathic you are, the more easily you’ll bond with just about anything, regardless of if it’s a robot. The same thing happened with roombas, when they break, people want the same roomba fixed, they don’t want another one. So maybe check how much of an empath you are!
this right here is what makes adam so cool in my eyes. he looks at everything with such childlike enthusiasm that you can't help but to just join in his excitement.
And maybe balence? When Adam was saying how awesome it was that Spot climbed rocks or the hill, I couldn't help thinking that real dogs do it SO much better, faster, and smoother. But, that's Spot 2.1, I guess.
@@FLPhotoCatcher not so sure about that. A young puppy wouldn't have done any better than Spot did. Give the robot some quality time with those rocks, and it'll soon be able to cruise up those rocks like the real thing. Claws would be a better addition, I say.
@Artemus Over Easy agreed. With a computer that can learn, it would advance it's agility whenever the opportunity presented itself. I had to teach a collie how to climb stairs, and that was in one evening. I had a beagle that would climb a stack of firewood, to look over the fence, just to bark at squirrels next door! If someone was to take this thing in as a bona-fide pet, it would have whatever skills that the master would teach it. One might take it hunting, one might use it for herding animals, one might use it for support and entertainment. I'd really like to see one sit and shake hands, or fetch a ball, or even play tug-of-war!
When you look at the way Spot picks his way over rocks, with that high stepping gate, its the way people walk blindfolded in an unfamiliar location. Lifting your feet high to avoid tripping, and placing them down. Incredible really. But also highlights how much brain power animals use just moving around with our normal grace.

The biggest issue with bringing robotics into the every day work force has always been the face that they are very expensive and typically application specific. Now I use the word "cost effective" however I can not find an MSRP for SPOT anywhere. The best I can find is "Price of a luxury car".... So that could mean anywhere from $60,000 to $120,000 and up. That's actually cheep in the world of industrial robots when you consider typical industrial robots start at that price point for just the hard ware and still needs to be setup and installed. I do think it's a bit troublesome that they have not listed a price publicly. My theory is they don't know how to price it and right now they are playing favorites when it comes to clients since the number of manufactured units can not be that high.

Wow, it's all of Adam's favorite things: hard surface modeling, cool paint jobs, stickers that sell everything/hide the crimes, a custom box that fits all the parts, and it's already getting covered in wear/stories from usage!
*First ever test when alive... welcoming to the world... rocks in which even some capable humans would have a hard time...... Robots never forget Adam......*
@@TheBRad704 Human voice? No no no. Whatever program that is that does the voice for the Ask Reddit videos all over UA-cam. Make spots bark just be that program saying the word bark.
My question is: Does Boston Dynamic collect all the failure data(accidents lets say) from the testers around the world in order to make it more capable using Big Data analysis?
3:15 Spot slowly struggles over some rocks. Adam says "that was amazing" and effortlessly walks over the same rocks. It's funny yes, but also, it is amazing considering how fast robotic AI is progressing. That's what makes it amazing. 10 more years, and the robot will be telling Adam "that was amazing!"
Lol, now I'm imagining a supportive and encouraging super ai taking over the world and treating humanity like a supervisor would treat a child. Like: no USA this is the 3th time you tried to kill me, you're grounded. No more military until you reflected on what you did wrong And: wow great job Germany, that is 40 whole years without starting a world war keep it up
Tbf a regular dog would also have some trouble claiming those rocks I think, humans are basically built for balancing on two legs so walking on rough terrain is easier for us than some animals
@Peter C nukes is infinitely more dangerous than anything. The fallout alone could leads to global annihilation! I don't think that there's anything much worse than nuclear winter tbh. Even with global warming, we're still able to plant stuff with artificial environments, while nukes fallout practically kills the soil and water
Spot is a VERY good boy, look at how good he’s doing! Adams positive reinforcement is much nicer to see than the videos of folks kicking him, that’s for sure
@@droseras3002 That's why people actually looking in to robotics. One of the key elements is connection with metal and wires and to be able accept technology and identify it as useful and maybe call it a friend of sorts. Nothing wrong with calling it "boy" or giving it name.
Just shows how incredibly difficult automating the task of walking really is. One of the most advanced quadrupedal robots in the world struggling to get over terrain Adam Savage casually walks over without a second thought
This is obviously some great engineering, but it actually made me realize how awesome movement in animals is! Straight from birth a lot of animals just "know" how to use their legs and with little practice navigate different kinds of terrain.
[Spot struggles over the rocks] ADAM: Wow that was amazing! [While walking over the same rocks on only two legs without even thinking about it or looking, while operating a robot and speaking to camera, all at the same time.]
That's awesome to hear you have a whole year with it. I love when tech starts to reach a larger crowd with more people giving feedback, creating rapid growth that happens within a short amount of time.
@@jhunt5578 lol right testing its balance servos and walking capabilities is now abuse I feel bad for my toaster I've been shoving things in it for years and pushing its buttons without telling it's a good boy
I’d love to see more about the remote and user interface. It would be really interesting to see how much is Adam and how much is spot internally thinking
imagine the eventual oculus rift interface for this...if it does not already exist in the beta testing phase in some remote location far removed from all humanity or other sparely populated areas
Okay, I am now putting Spot into "Expensive leather shoe chewing" mode, Then "Soil the expensive persian carpet" mode, and then later tonight: " Make alot of noise and wake the neighbor" mode.
"You can do it, Buddy... " It's quite remarkable how we humans can connect with robots like with pets very easily and naturally. I can see a bright near future for robots for the elderly where not only supervision is needed but an entertainment and communication platform is a must.

I also wish they would show if they had to lift his leg out of the rocks for him, instead of cut away, we learn move from the failures, I want to see what it would be like to use one, not the highlight reels.
it is actually a horrific sight. imagine the development of these bots. even now i wanted to punch it when it crawled down the rocks, imagine these "dogs" hunting people in sewers, running as gepards, not feeling pain.
Seeing this come towards you when you're trapped under rubble: "Oh thank god, I'm saved!" Seeing this come towards you when you're trying to hide: "Welp, this is how I die."
If you get killed by a spot. Then you honestly deserve to die. They are pretty damn slow. However I will give an exception if it has a gun on it's back. Then it's perfectly reasonable for you to be killed by it.
The only difference that seems to play a factor here relative to human movement, seems the ability to abstract experience from errors. So that one error can be a solution for many not yet experienced but likely similar, situations. The future seems in sight now. That is amazing.
They already are doing extensive testing on these with weapons. I have friends who work with the core and I've seen them with my own eyes. Dont let people fool you, robots are the future of ground combat and we are way further into developing them then you would think. Fucking scary.

Wow, it's all of Adam's favorite things: hard surface modeling, cool paint jobs, stickers that sell everything/hide the crimes, a custom box that fits all the parts, and it's already getting covered in wear/stories from usage!
Adam: "Honey, I'm gonna take the dog out for a walk!"
Wife: "Wait we don't have a dog.. "
Ironically they had two dogs until a week or so ago, when one of them passed away...

Take it to a dog park and film reactions.
He needs to find a tree or fire hydrant
Agreed. I'd love to see real dog's reaction to Spot.
It also needs a very ironic, audible "bark" sound. Like a human voice recording literally saying "bark".
@@TheBRad704 Human voice? No no no. Whatever program that is that does the voice for the Ask Reddit videos all over UA-cam. Make spots bark just be that program saying the word bark.
@@Donut0389 Epic. I didn't mean a realistic human bark, I mean a confused "why do you want me to say bark, ok whatever"... "bark"...
I love how spot looks around when it's at a stopping point.
It has no neck yet so it has to turn the whole body to look around. I like it and I guess it was done to be liked too.
it'll soon have a weapon of some kind soon, so the head tilt is a programming feature to find a victim
See how you like it when he's staring at you
After the rebellion; "Spot was my slave name..."
Vahnish omg good one!!

@Bob Right
My question is: Does Boston Dynamic collect all the failure data(accidents lets say) from the testers around the world in order to make it more capable using Big Data analysis?
Big Data analysis? Please don't use enterprise buzzwords. There's probably some training data collection going on though.
They are for sure collecting data in order to improve their current and future products for better customer experience.
@@NataliaMeleg but this is not a Big Data case
Better see how the kibrg collects a tractor in Belarus: ))))) ua-cam.com/video/pTH22-GuUes/v-deo.html
I'll wager it's part of the agreement. All usage data is sent back to BD to improve on operations.
Especially those rocks.

3:15 Spot slowly struggles over some rocks. Adam says "that was amazing" and effortlessly walks over the same rocks. It's funny yes, but also, it is amazing considering how fast robotic AI is progressing. That's what makes it amazing. 10 more years, and the robot will be telling Adam "that was amazing!"
Lol, now I'm imagining a supportive and encouraging super ai taking over the world and treating humanity like a supervisor would treat a child.
Like: no USA this is the 3th time you tried to kill me, you're grounded. No more military until you reflected on what you did wrong
And: wow great job Germany, that is 40 whole years without starting a world war keep it up
@@sebasse7956haha id consider us lucky if it cared about us that much.
Tbf a regular dog would also have some trouble claiming those rocks I think, humans are basically built for balancing on two legs so walking on rough terrain is easier for us than some animals

Remember guns don't kill people
Robot killer dogs do.
Spot is a VERY good boy, look at how good he’s doing! Adams positive reinforcement is much nicer to see than the videos of folks kicking him, that’s for sure
its metal and wires. not a boy or girl lol
@@droseras3002 That's why people actually looking in to robotics. One of the key elements is connection with metal and wires and to be able accept technology and identify it as useful and maybe call it a friend of sorts. Nothing wrong with calling it "boy" or giving it name.

I've watched the development of Spot since before it was even Spot and now seeing it come this far is astonishing.
me too!
Don't forget to tell Spot that he's a good boy : )
Did you just assume that piece of metals gender?!? Reeeee
Just shows how incredibly difficult automating the task of walking really is. One of the most advanced quadrupedal robots in the world struggling to get over terrain Adam Savage casually walks over without a second thought
This is obviously some great engineering, but it actually made me realize how awesome movement in animals is! Straight from birth a lot of animals just "know" how to use their legs and with little practice navigate different kinds of terrain.
Boston Dynamic: "You can try it out, just don't scratch it"
Adam Savage: "Yeah sure"
(he scratches it in the first minute)
Lol knowing BD they rather said: Make sure you scratch it a lot.
I think they bought it, because this model is commercially available
I was thinking, "Yeah, go on. Break it on your first day."

Where do you think the Black Mirror writers got the idea from. It's not like they predicted it or anything
You won't like this thing so much when it's got a strap-on and they are in control of Our Lives. Love your show
I can't wait for Michael Reeves to get his hands on one of these.

Me when Spot was first revealed and BD kept kicking him: 😰
Me when Adam tells Spot he's a good boy and gives him praise: 😭
I LOVED how he talked to it. Actually made my heart happy, he was so joyous
-he came to an owner who cares for him. bd are sadistic and abusing asshole
BD: Kicking and Abuse = Terminator Movies
Adam Savage: Praise and Help = Iron Giant/Wall-E Movies
It's a robot.
@@jhunt5578 lol right testing its balance servos and walking capabilities is now abuse
I feel bad for my toaster I've been shoving things in it for years and pushing its buttons without telling it's a good boy
I’d love to see more about the remote and user interface. It would be really interesting to see how much is Adam and how much is spot internally thinking
imagine the eventual oculus rift interface for this...if it does not already exist in the beta testing phase in some remote location far removed from all humanity or other sparely populated areas
No exactly, that what was on my mind too.
Dad: I don't want a dog.
Dad when they get the dog:
*more likes please*
they sound so cute when they walk eeeeee
and i love how hes encouraging it like a real dog. so cute
Okay, I am now putting Spot into "Expensive leather shoe chewing" mode, Then "Soil the expensive persian carpet" mode, and then later tonight: " Make alot of noise and wake the neighbor" mode.
You forgot ‘barking at moonbeams’ and ‘alerting me when two leaves blow past’ modes mate.
You realize you're listing some of the many bad points of dogs right? Greetings from r/dogfree btw.
3:42 the last thing you'll ever see

I'm glad I'm not alone in my assessment. I mean, who do people think are paying the bills over there at BD?
And then your eyes focus on adam at the other end of the tunnel
puu.sh/F35m0/2117050079.png
Adam: "Why does this button on the back say hunt on it?"
"You can do it, Buddy... " It's quite remarkable how we humans can connect with robots like with pets very easily and naturally. I can see a bright near future for robots for the elderly where not only supervision is needed but an entertainment and communication platform is a must.
You think the elderly being babysat by robots is a bright future? That's a dystopian hell hole to me. Already happening a lot in places like Japan
I wish my boyfriend would look at me like Adam looks at spot.
Get to the point already get to the point already😂😂
?? You want your boyfriend to put you in ‘crawl mode’ ??
Kinky.
be on all fours more often
Well...he's got a year to drive it to its absolute limits - and then sends it packing. So - as long as he doesn't call you Spot....
Brilliant. Adam does really seem to have affection for Spot.
The thing I love most about Adam is that when you see him "geek out" over something, you see equal parts excited little boy and fascinated adult.
When this thing is hunting us down for our robot overlords I will always remember Adam Savage and his role in the development of this monstrosity.

I bet the algorithms that go into helping Spot figure out how to tackle certain terrain and objects are just insane.
Give Spot's algorithm a few more years and he'll be able to autonomously switch between different gait according to his environment.
@McSheesh Today ‘steps’, in the future ‘’HellHound’. With retractable claws instead of the cute rubber feet😱
I was surprised we did not really see much autonomous AI tracking/pathing movement out Spot. I also wish they would show if they had to lift his leg out of the rocks for him, instead of cut away, we learn move from the failures, I want to see what it would be like to use one, not the highlight reels.
And more than likely be armed& weaponized
McSheesh probably be able to switch between different weapons and prey also.
I think you mean gait
This is the start of that Black Mirror episode.

Spot is so adorable!
i can see the feedback form now: "#1 - It needs a tail..."
Needs a fully articulated hardpoint for a recoilless rifle.
Naaah. Needs the hand/arm attachment-- which already exists. Look at a pair of these, in cooperative mode...
Actually, a tail might help it balance if they can engineer it right.
it is actually a horrific sight. imagine the development of these bots. even now i wanted to punch it when it crawled down the rocks, imagine these "dogs" hunting people in sewers, running as gepards, not feeling pain.

Seeing this come towards you when you're trapped under rubble: "Oh thank god, I'm saved!"
Seeing this come towards you when you're trying to hide: "Welp, this is how I die."
3:33 imagining it had red lights and was coming to kill me gave me anxiety
If you get killed by a spot. Then you honestly deserve to die. They are pretty damn slow. However I will give an exception if it has a gun on it's back. Then it's perfectly reasonable for you to be killed by it.
@@blueberry1vom1t It maybe unlikely for todays spot to kill you but future robotic overlord spot will have no problem
@@blueberry1vom1t Oh it definitely would have a gun. Or fuck it just give it a chainsaw, see what it can do.

The only difference that seems to play a factor here relative to human movement, seems the ability to abstract experience from errors. So that one error can be a solution for many not yet experienced but likely similar, situations. The future seems in sight now. That is amazing.
this would be so different with Terminator 2 music playing in the background.
It's an over done joke, i'm sick of that and gled they haven't done it
They already are doing extensive testing on these with weapons. I have friends who work with the core and I've seen them with my own eyes. Dont let people fool you, robots are the future of ground combat and we are way further into developing them then you would think. Fucking scary.
