Re: Boston Dynamics
I was going to say on the musk video, why does the robot need to have a human shape head? Maybe just to make them less scary, but I guess also a decent place to put cameras.
Tbh that still looked a little clumsy, you’d have thought it would be able to tell it hadn’t quite lifted the strut high enough to clear the box before tilting / trying to move it away.
Still, the things they’re doing are light years ahead of the muskbot

Re: Boston Dynamics
Not impressed, i was expecting it to compress the spring with one had and take the top nut off with the other!
Re: Boston Dynamics
That, just moving a spring from one box to another is a bit shit.
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Boston Dynamics
I've had a play with one of their dogs.
Just find the right use case.

30 year old robotics company vs company which has only started robotics the last 2 years. I'm more impressed at the rate of progress from Musk's creation vs this.

Right up until they got publicly called out for it, because they were too stupid to properly hide the remote operator properly.

Re: Boston Dynamics
So how much is one of these verses the cost of a person in... China? Vietnam? India? Bradford?
Banal Vapid Platitudes
Re: Boston Dynamics
If they do it in Bradford they'll have to program it to nick 2% of the stock. And drive like a complete cunt.
Re: Boston Dynamics
Given some of their other more impressive videos, I suspect this is more about its thinking process than the way it moves around. There's probably more going on that meets the eye in the clip.

Re: Boston Dynamics
I think it’s things like where it accidentally clipped the box and did a little stumble which it recovered from very quickly and naturally which are impressive.
But then maybe it should have been more aware of its surroundings and not clipped it in the first place. You’d think it’s movements would be more considered and accurate than a human who’s brain could be thinking about a million other things going on in their life while walking around.

Re: Boston Dynamics
There's hundreds of millions of years of evolution powering how you delicately skip around a corner like that without clipping it.
Fairly sure it'll take more than twenty lines of Python to replicate that
