Oh good, the machines are already perfecting the victory dance they will perform on our dead bodies.

This is really scary. This looks cheap and deadly. This seems to be just the beginning.

I fear for the future of war and conflict. This will make one opposite extremely deadly (think Israel vs. Palestine) or will make it impossible to win any way (Russia vs. USA/Europe)

I still can't understand why Google sold Boston Dynamics, it baffles me. These guys have been pushing the boundaries of robotic motion for years. I see it as another example of Google's inability to focus on anything that is not core services.

Their latest video of Atlas doing parkour is just insane [0]. You'd think that with Google's focus on AI they'd want to own and keep under a tight lid tech as impressive as BD's.

can't wait to purchase this dog that does not take a shit, does not require to be fed and can dance as long as the battery is full.

I think this is the first time in history a robot has twerked. A great milestone.

video spliced at 0:57, you would expect a Robot performing pre programmed moves to be pretty repeatable, especially when operated by manufacturer, in perfect lab conditions

is this dog moonwalking?

I'm going to be somewhat surprised if the US doesn't already have synchronized, camo-Kevlar-coated, M249-equipped squads of these little guys running around the Middle East already.
