Voice alerts could be more helpful in some circumstances... "Caution: robot in motion", "Attention: robot nearby", "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle", that sort of thing.
No, no the classic "Danger, Will Robinson!"
you find yourself buried under rubble after an earthquake and a robot lifts up the slab thats pinning you and says without any sense of irony "come with me if you want to live"
"MOVE ASIDE HUMANS. MY WORTH IS GREATER THAN YOURS!"
Holy shit that is real humor right there.
The next time I'm fighting Predator aliens, it would be nice to have a robot that reminds me to GET TO THE CHOPA because I keep forgetting to get to the chopa. Happens more than I'd like to admit.
Atlas is now able to use a team of Spots as sled dogs.
Lol !
로봇 개로 썰매를 끌겠다는 생각을 왜 하는지 모르겠습니다.
Preparing for nuclear winter of course
I feel like theyd do it
They already did that
Very cool how spot learned to open doors on his own just like a velociraptor.
"Alan!"
@@jaredspencer3304**Spot with an Ian Malcomm Wig and a Set of Glasses:** "Dr Grant?"
Clever Girl
Wait until it start thinking like one... 😬
they actually use velociraptor neural networks in their robots, Didn't you know ??
I'm not even a customer, but it's so cool to see how fast this tech is advancing. It's like reading sci-fi, except with a lot more 'sci' and a lot less 'fi'.
all cool and dandy until... you know
@@saunakissa ok DOOMER..😂
Have you ever asked yourself why they are making robots that can run 15-20+ mph and are able to jump large distances and do backflips?
It actually took 5 plus year to develop. If I did that with my body I'd look like 🦸♂️
@@sjr8140 you can develop those capabilities within five years given the right training and lack of constraints.
I'd say this video also represents a new level of confidence for Boston Dynamics.
I’d say this video also represents a new level of **fear** for Boston Dynamics. There, fixed it for you ;-)
no shit
this is a beautifully shot and produced video. Keep pushing forward guys!!!
10 years ago I was surprised by these videos, I was 17 years old and it was a shock and surprise! Now I'm almost 30 years old, I'm not a child at all, and you post about the same thing with little progress ... It's very sad ...
… Karl you're joking, right? Musk would have driven BD into the ground with random budget cuts and staff layoffs
Can you please make a giant spot with saddle seating for 2 ?
I can make that for a price
Yes spot on 👍
Spot horse
@@larsstougaard7097 no, on spot actually
@plasmasupremacy9321 true, glad you spotted it 👍
Spot is the main reason I wish I owned a factory.
@Pepper Guy Hello greater safety, monitoring and access to areas people can't. While people will always still be employed to set up and run processes and manage facilities, a lot of major failings are due to human error.
@@LadyMelmo. I guess you cant starve and be homeless if you are dead. 🤔
@@ToneyCrimson That...what are you even talking about?
@@ToneyCrimson Just let machines do the work and humans can sit back and relax at home, what's the problem?
@Lady Melmo no just no, we need low income jobs, the world is going down a bad path with this age of automation and ai that will eventually eliminate all low income jobs. This will make the wealth gap even bigger and lead to terrible living condition for low income people
10:52 The banana peel on the ground during the slip test really got me 🤣
Nathan believed he could control Ava.
The lady enthusiasm is contagious
I love so much how they present their product, they explain over and over again how much this will help the customer and even add what is desired by the customer. They are careful with their designs and want people to understand that it is amazing while still being an early product.
I saw Spot rob a local bank the other day, it was the cutest thing ever
12:45 Spot should be making sure the door has properly latched behind it. This is necessary for both fire safety and physical security. Ideally, maintenance would ensure that every door would close and latch correctly on its own every time, but we all know that tasks like that tend to fall to the bottom of the priority list when humans just adapt their behaviour to work around the problem.
auto survey if the doors self close
I agree, it should also make sure that it doesn’t hit anything when opening or closing the door
Should be simple to add "confirm door closed" as the first automated task after passing through. By the time it's out of beta this will probably be a default feature of door passing tasks.
This is how the resistance gets access to send back Kyle Reese btw.
People don't check the door ... it can't be a real issue.
As a disabled veteran, I’d find it useful to have the future Spot for certain tasks and object manipulation. It would enable a certain amount of independence and peace of mind for my spouse care-giver and children. Let’s see where BD can take this developing technology. Very cool
12:40 You can tell by the scratches on the door they've been working for ages to make this work!
As someone who has a use case for this technology and an affected team, I truly hope they are looking to develop Atlas for this as well. Most of my sensors are remote anyway, what I need is confirmation and, crucially, something that can interact with infrastructure designed for humans, especially carrying large heavy items that require two support points. That would be game changing for us, and save a lot of people many an unhappy drive on site in the middle of the night to sort out issues.
Sounds like you will be buying an Optimus from Tesla. Give them three or four years.
Musk fans sharing their delusions in this comment thread are hilarious. If Musk were "running this show" BD would have overpromised everything and then come up with a half-assed robot that would be completely useless. DB are the industry leaders and however long they take to innovate with a viable product, that's how long it takes.
Doesn't that also mean that you'll be out of a job since if the work can be done remotely by piloting a robot they can just hire somebody in India to do it?
@@Michelino_M5 oh, for sure, that is why....checking my notes...the Tesla Model Y is currently the best selling car in the world, and why SpaceX has 80% of commercial launches worldwide, and why Musk is the wealthiest person in the world, because all of the products from his companies are lousy.
Slow and steady is not going to win this race.Robots with LIDAR are not going to win this race. Is Musk good at estimating when new products will be ready? No. Do the products eventually come and are they better than what anyone else can offer? Yes. BD doesn't have an AI program, and they are manually coding while Tesla is almost all neural net programmed now, the computer is writing the software. And a lot of making robots useful is labelling objects in the real world, which Tesla is currently they believe doing at a world leading rate, and will be doing ten times faster by the end of the year and a hundred times faster by end of next year.
My sympathy to BD, they have worked hard and well, but Tesla is now a behemoth with their pick of the top engineers, lots of money, a world number one supercomputer, and the Silicon Valley move fast playbook.
A dispatch from the Cult of Musk has arrived in the comments... thank you for the laugh, Karl!
10:28 Spot just got spanked and actually flop down, that made my day.
this is absolutely mindblowing, great to see such progress
Right? I remember their first model. Damn, those guys love their work!
Stagnation progress?
Progress towards he apocalypse
@@grellixgrellixi9580 Spot is practically useless for $75,000. You still need a human to control him...
@@mikeblaz but Spot can eliminate your human workforce. Literally even, if needed. 😆
All the presenters are incredible, they are enthusiastic, but don't come off as over the top uncanny, they truly feel like experts you can trust
You can easily see, though, that they're reading what they're saying. Look at the eyes. Nevertheless, good stuff.
@@jeffh4581 I expect they wrote it though, these people are probably all MIT PhDs
Anybody else think “Raptors” when they saw Spot open the door for itself? Seriously, awesome work guys. As a retired HVAC guy, I love the idea of spot listening for abnormalities in mechanical rooms.
They grow up so fast 🥹
Great product - Will be watching for sure
If there ever was a pup to cheer us up it's Spot.
Haha
Puppy
No.
Blinking lights is for attracting attention. The green light should not be blinking, it should be constant, or pulsing between 50% - 100% strength, so as to not distract site workers.
Important question: do the new lights allow for disco mode?
Only after office hours :D
Could make some pretty sweet techno with the buzzer, too XD
@@glowcube Acid... *dreams*
Nice to see these collaborations with other companies like the audio sensor from Fluke. Exciting tech!
I want that lady to read out every single piece of text that I'll ever come across in my entire life from now on! It was mesmerizing!
Yeah she was so professional! The only question left is: is she also a robot in disguise? 🤔
Sold over 1000 Spot wow! that's worth over 70 millions. Decades of research finally come to fruition. Congratulations Boston Dynamics.
Damn imagine Spot in space. Lets send SPOT TO MARS :)
That is already in the works , the AU spot is a modified spot that is planned to go to Mars
Red Planet movie in 2000 with Val Kilmer kind of has a future spot in it.
Wow, what an amazing video! I am truly impressed with Spot's capabilities in this video. Boston Dynamics has truly created a remarkable robot. Spot appears to be so agile and skillful in overcoming various challenges. Its development is truly impressive and showcases the incredible advancements in robotics technology today. I can't wait to see what Spot will achieve in the future. Thank you, Boston Dynamics, you are truly inspiring!
Can this robot find something without an operator? A pack of cigarettes, for example?
This is absolutely incredible. Please keep pushing the boundaries of possibility and reality like you are doing already.
@karlwithak. That's why Elon isn't making this. And thank God for that.
The Cameraman following Spot around is the real Hero!
There are huge possibilities for Spot as a service dog for people with disabilities. Way to go, folks! 👏👏👏
It's absolutely amazing to see spot get his upgrades/learn to do more! I'm just a single individual without an industrial site so no on site use for them, but this is so fascinating to see and watch. Thank you for sharing, i hope he brings you continued success!
It's so funny to see the robot struggling to open a door ;) Quite the complex task which humans don't even think about.
Keep up the good work!
"which humans don't even think about."
Even scratches on the door @12:42 just like a biological dog
@@fitybux4664 Piff! That's trivial for an expert.
_sudo make me a sandwich_
My dads work owns a spot and it’s so cool thanks for making these! 😊
At 04:32, would Spot read "119" wrongly due to perspective, or "124" as it should, correctly interpreting its angle of reading and the distance between needle and gauge background values?
Spot isn’t interpreting the gauge readings. It’s collecting data for someone to review. Basically let’s someone remotely inspect things without needing to physically be on site.
Every once and a while you see someone who is absolutely crushing it at work. The second speaker in this video was basically born to do the job she is doing right now. Never seen someone so good at one of these corporate press presentations.
literally every product manager ever. it's a prerequisite of the job, or you have mental breakdowns. probably still both tbh.
dam you got me waiting for a AD end we love it
Glad to see BD has a product they can keep the company afloat on. Love the advancements.
Dreams of automation are now true and getting better rapidly. I love this timeline.
is rather cool seeing one or 2 of these walk around space x test site after testing to check on things before anyone aproaches the site
Would rather be Tesla made ones if any robot is used at spaceX
@@SaladeDeFruitt Tesla doesn't make robots.
For people worried about robots and slippery slopes
BD has now addressed this concern
and these robots will have no issue with slippery surfaces
👍
From my point of view, Boston Dynamics is the best in the world. I am always watching to see what robots will come out in the future.
Gauges have to be read with the eye or camera on an axis which is perpendicular to the dial face and passing through the needle pivot point, otherwise parallax leads to misreading of values. The camera height needs to be able to raise to the level of the gauge, which is generally installed at human height and mounted vertically. Alternatively, all the gauges could be tilted down, but then technicians would find them hard to read. Probably easier to make Spot’s camera much more height adjustable.
Perhaps changing gauges to flat digital displays mimicking analogue dials. No parallax as no mechanical needles.
I like to think of two robots in an elevator, one super advanced robot that has human-level precision and reflexes, and one outdated spot model. The spot goes to push the elevator button, but it's taking so long to locate and press it that the advanced model just reaches over and does it faster. And so begins the start of a new friendship full of wacky adventures.
So like humans and dogs?
Like R2D2 and C-3PO but reverse? :)
My first question is what is the battery life? Second question is when will you integrate voice communication and add a "Woof" to acknowledge the receipt of a command? : )
I Love this themes and technology evolution. Great work
This is a great update.
how could I wait this long for such an amazing reveal :sob:
I've been trying to talk my boss into buying the shop a Spot. It's a just a metal fabrication shop, so the boss is probably right when he says "the shop doesn't need one", but I want to hang out with Spot anyways, so I'll keep trying. At least until they are more affordable and I can just buy one myself to play with.
That door opening scene was awesome!!!
Shoutout to my favorite DARPA spooks out there 👋🏻
Insane work guys! You are the builders of a good future. I wish nothing but success.
You do know this company is owned by google, right?
@@madprophetus It's owned by Toyota. What is your point?
I like to think that, after AI uprising, Atlas and Spot will be enemies at first, and later like evolution of humans and wolves, spot will be Atlas's best friend
Brilliant, Spot just keeps getting better and better.
The arm configuration gives the robot so much character, with its handsome stride completing tasks.
it needs seven more arms like an octopus.
@@markae0 and mount it to a wearable backpack?
Congrats team, you are the best, thanks for making the industry more safe
How does creating these robots make the industry more "safe"
I really want to know how you find value from that?
@@commonsensei8719 are you insisting that putting humans into dangerous situations is somehow safer than not having humans in dangerous situations?
You even get scratches on your doors just like a biological dog @12:42

nice, working with such team on this type of project it's another level.
Particularly the Microdosing Spokesperson.
Absolutely love your work!
What a good Spot. 🎉 Jane is happy about spot. Look at Jane smile 😂
Kinda sounds like Spot is going to be running his own company pretty soon! Can't wait to see how that goes.
Wow, this is amazing! The moving object detection can be used to implement advanced avoidance behaviors in order to make sure that red button remains untouched. Next level indeed!
Appreciated čvut Praha footages
Great to see the team behind all the advancements at boston dynamics!
Great job to all of them!
Something it stood out is that the spot platform seems to be a bit too small when attachments are added maybe increase it's size by a few inches and get dedicated bays in the middle of the body for payload or get a work/play sized robots. Lastly when opening the door once it is holding the door open simply rotate the body trough the door. Robots are not humans they have freedom of move especially spot with full 3d environment built it in is not necessary to copy human movement it can do much better! :D
Cheers
For some of the Most Entertaining and Fascinating videos on UA-cam ….
Y’all sure take your time between each one…. ! , But it’s always worth the wait…👍🏻
Here, here !😊
Congratulations on learning to open doors and developing many more capabilities! Good girrrl Spot! We love you :-)
Nice job humans!!!
Spot is non binary
blud out here giving nonliving things genders 💀
@@LuisSierra42 AI has more than 1's and 0's. (Floating point numbers!) Non-binary indeed! 😆
@@LuisSierra42 Spot is a computer, so I think it is very binary
@@spicybaguette7706 You are assuming Spot's gender, you are being a bigot
Iv loved your robots for a really long time, and I hope to meet one one day. Thank you for doing what you do.
The UP / RIGHT / etc arrows should move an on-screen cursor: I can't tell from the video @6:20 if there is one. It looks like the tablet spot link is laggy, which is normal for this kind of tech, so the spot should be given a pointer-goal to seek to, instead of the operator guessing with the RIGHT button, how much to press.
I'd love to see the events that led to these improvements. I've always had issues with how quiet it is especially in a working environment, akin to a cat. Also seeing one of my favorite youtubers having fun with their spot until they couldn't emergency stop it like it's new emergency button. Hopefully nothing caused a death in actual on foot locations. Something I would love to see come as an accessory for spot is an anchor kit, where it can drop a payload that anchors itself to the ground or wall and provide support to the robot as it struggles with a task. Pulling a door like you had in this video would be easier on the robot and make it quicker if it could take advantage of some kind of leverage besides it's own feet.
You can fix the quiet issue the same way as you would with a cat: just give it a jingly bells collar. 😜
Can we have Merry do all the talking going forward. Everyone else did fine. Merry killed it.
Agreed, she is an amazing speaker.
Merry* according to the on-screen text
And I agree, she was great to listen to 👍
@@BrianZier so mezmerized by her delivery I didn't even see the text. Even her name is S tier. I should have known
So glad that even though I am now old I am able to see this amazing stuff come true. When I was a boy this truly was science fiction! Now it all coming real. Awesome
Amazing progress guys!
Maybe one day NASA will have these guys go along on a moon/mars mission 😍
Elon will do it first.
I heard Elon is working on a cat 🐈 robot called fluffy , first cat on Mars 🚀
Maybe the level up is a vacuum function for spot. Than we never have to clean stair by our selfs 😊 or we do not have to wait until my stair climbing vacuum is available 😅
Your stair climbing vacuum robot is a very cool project. I hope it will be for sale one day!
Unfortunately "your" stair climbing vacuum has been introduced few days back.
But yeah sure Spot with vacuum on it's back would be much more capable than any other robot out there.
@@superior5005 can I buy it anywhere?
the level up wasn’t a vacuum function but door opening seems to be very useful
Spot had a massive glow-up!
Other corporations should use this video as a model of what should be considered an industry standard. Starting with the CEO and then delivering not only a promotional video but a training overview. Very impressive!
Dogs are man's best friend
Congratulations keep it up it's the future!
You are my favorites. Keep up that good work. Bless you.
I'll sadly never have the money or any reason to buy anything from Boston Dynamics, but as a robotics 'fan' I am totally fascinated by all things Boston Dynamics
They need to make a wheel chassi for spot to sit down in and drive around, and a drone suit so it can fly up to the roof of buildings
It could use a skate board! 😂
@@julenlaskibar5409 or it could be used as a skateboard
New features start at 3:12.
You guys should send one into see the elephants foot at chernobyl
Level up Spot like Drone .. give him wings so he can see better in a dangerous places :)
"now we should warn you that this feature is still in beta mode. so I'm sure there will be some kinks we will need to work out." builds so much trust. a company telling you upfront "things might go slightly wrong" is so cool and I hope more companies adopt this kind of honesty.
dude it's opening a door, it should just work
Cool and all but I just want Spot as a guard dog. Make it happen! Maybe 1/10 of the price just for a way simpler home solution.
Wow!!! Feels like magic to me, they way it opened doors for itself.
The door opening was sick!!!
Very cool! ...still, I was hoping for a tiny dance routine at the end. 😉
The big red button is a great idea. Take that future robot overlords!
Try to touch that red button and you'll lose a hand. 😂
Thank you for building these dystopian nightmares.
Damn seeing boston dynamics become this was a hell of journey what a ride
As a friendly advice, It'd be cooler to add The Terminator's main theme in the intro presentation ;p HEHE.
Well, talking more seriously, this is so interesting and amazing! The improvements in its functionality and design! :) But a it's exciting and fantastic to see all the work behind, and how this kind of robotic works are here to help humankind to progress. Much love, admiration, hugs and respect from México! 🤘😻💕
"Have a safe and productive day, mr. Gordon Freeman"😅
Does its targeting computer use ultraviolet light in additional to visible light and infrared?
Nice work here. Really great engineering.
Wait 5 days? Thats a long time for a 🐕 doggie to wait! But none the less, I’m really excited!
Same I'm excited for spot .
At least we don't have to worry about Spot leaving a spot on the floor.
Was it worth the wait?
you need to send them up to the moon to explore
We Love Spot he is the best, so THank you BD for spot :)
Beautiful. Hello from Slovakia 🇸🇰😈🤫
