I like how they had the stretcher immediately ready for him.
That’s better than watching kids fall off of bikes
I could watch kids falling off bikes all day.
Why didn’t other robots come to sweep it up?
Then who would sweep up those robots after they fall?
If you look closely you can spot the exact moment where the robot gained sentience and chose to self destruct rather than live as a dancing monkey. It really is amazing how fast tech advances these days
on the phone
Sir we know for a fact it achieved sentience. Yes sir we’re positive. Because it killed itself immediately. Yes sir. Just “Oh no” and then killed itself. Yes sir immediately.
Basically the entire humanoid robotics industry in a nutshell rn. I would know, I’m in it lol
The CGI videos from Boston Dynamics are way overhyped. Half the shit at the superhyped national lab I’m at is broken because someone measured once and cut twice on the wires and the robot tried to bend an elbow lmao
Also a robotics nerd; very curious what you are referring to when you say BD’s CGI videos - as far as I am aware, their content is at very worst robots running prescripted routines, not actual CGI.
this brought me joy
The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.
The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…
The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!
Honestly, they’re just really fragile. It’s like comparing your microwave to a nuclear device. Like sure, maybe it could kill a human if you intentionally tried to cause it to combust and stood really, really closely to it lol
They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.

Watching it thrash on the ground made me slightly twitch
It has to be AI. This is the current state.
Not all robots are equal, that’s why there’s like a dozen companies trying to make them…
no, that’s the current cutting edge
There’s no speed bumps on that track, though.
To be fair, this may be about as well as a run would go for me if I tried.
make sure to get the one million pieces
Tis but a scratch.
Don’t lose your head over racing!
I look forward to my future as a robot parts clean-up guy.
that’s a lot of parts
