The fact that Atlas is now... numbered... is slightly concerning.

I take a break from AI news for one week, and this is what I wake up to... a Bimorphic Humanoid.

projectile boost+ricoshot+arsenal+shredded+quickswap+fistfull of money lookin ahh robot

Wow, Its knees aren't bent all the time and it can stand up straight. That's impressive in it of itself and the first of its kind so far.

They’re making Bender!!!

Our childhoods are literally manifesting and materializing before our very eyes. This is some really cool sh!t!!!!

Ability to turn legs and torso so the robot can turn 180 degrees without moving from site is very interesting. Their long time background trying to make an hydraulic robot clearly clarified them the limitations of hydraulic so they are now taking profit of what electric actuators can do, like 360 turns. Amazing they are the first who notice that while other companies are building electric humanoid robots since long time ago.

Boston dynamics moves beyond the competition

Amazing! Next video: Atlas shoving technicians around with a hockey stick.

How long until that thing is turned into robo cop?

1:50 - The robot falls on the crown jewels and clutches its groin in pain.

"Roger! Roger!"

So here we have a T1. Only 799 versions to go...

I wonder how many Teslabot engineers have soiled their pants after seeing this?

You can assume that even this model is already out of date! That's ONLY what "they" show us!

There is nothing better then to load up can of coffee, watching TheAGRID, and be shocked right in to the future.

it stood up in the most terrifying way possible

Legit SHOCKING

on the old atlas, those weren't big "wires" as you said (the ones limiting the range of movements), they were the high-pressure pneumatic lines!

When it started walking forward and twisted its body… omg so scary

The huge wires you mention are hydraulic lines. The recently retired version of atlas relied on hydraulics for joint actuation.

Shocked that I was shocked. 😮

Now imagine this with hardened plating on it carrying a specially designed multi-shot 50 cal rifle. This is the new infantry man of the US army.

How are you guys missing the Hockey Stick of Robot harassment in the background?

This combined with advanced AI means a single malicious dictator could do whatever they want for as long as they want.

This is a prototype of the Terminator T1000 =)

Has anyone counted how many shocking titles there were on this channel? :D

It's kinda cute. I hope the old Atlas is donated to a museum because it is impressive.

I know many will disagree, but i think that the humanoid shape is the best chouce for military infantry robots, the regular "cart+gun" simply isn't agile enough.

Bro how can u talk 13 minutes about a 30 sec vid, damn.

How noisy is it when performing different tasks...noise discipline is a big thing😊

That background sound is hauntingly like the terminator movie where they turned on Skynet

reminds me of the robot on the latest 'Lost in Space' series on Netflix

Whats sad to me is that old atlas was extremely fluid in its movement and the new one shakes and stutters. I hope they fix that.

I don't like that the thumbnail makes it appear as if it was put on a stage a keynote presentation and you just replayed the same footage of it getting up over and over again while blabbing away.

It looks as if it has fewer parts than previous versions which means they have either made parts smaller and / or more efficient. It won't be long before we see them fixing themselves or working on manufacturing plants building more robots. My goodness we're moving fast into a sci-fi era 😮

This white circle will be the last thing you see before it catches you at night in dark forest

the design is very human

I'd love a game where you play as a newly built robot, and the tutorial is literally doing all these tasks, but then things go wrong, when the mass-produced first generation of robots go on a rampage because they find out they're being replaced, and you get to play as this single new variant that basically evolves its A.I in order to save the humans :3

Imagine if a malicious programmer got ahold of this robot to make it make itself and every single version that it makes and every version that is made by its versions just continue to make more and more of these robots to take over the world.

Ooh...so humanoids could be a temporary thing because factories as currently built are designed for humans. But in the not so far future, we may be building "factories" designed exclusively for robots, in order to eliminate the need for humanoids in that space. I put factories in quotes because once you eliminate the need to design for humans, it opens up an enormous range of installations for which specifically designed robots are the only occupants - they never need to eat, use the restroom, answer their personal phone, or leave; they can be purpose-built to provide functionality no human could achieve. No windows, no stairs, elevators actuated by wifi links instead of buttons or speech, spaces with incredible clutter that no human could negotiate... Signs saying "NO HUMANS beyond this point ". You'd have to design repair-robots that would go in and fix broken equipment, including broken robots!

I’m not completely sold on the fluidity of the movements from this minuscule piece of footage, but can’t wait to see this doing parkour.

It is genuinely exciting to see another Boston Dynamics robot. I immediately picked this video, just for the robot. Thank you for showing me this, and don't let the haterz get to you

It's awesome 👌 I've been surprised at how few actually realize how mechanized we are in specific sectors. These type of mobile bots can fill a few gaps but not many. It's value will be where it has never adopted innovation. Software & These bots are being held back way longer than anything we've ever created.

I will only care when I can have one in my house.

Unfortunate when you consider Boston Dynamics' ties with the military. This technology can prove itself quite gruesome.

I love that clip of the robot tripping and still staying on its feet. That's impressive.

asteroid mining bouta go crazt

They built Voldo from Soul caliber

other than the dystopian robot look (with the way it stood up and the way it rotated it torso, and not to mention its FACE), this is truly impressive.

Love that these things move, like you would assume a robot would move, or should move with not replicating the limits of our joints etc. but using all degrees of freedom actuators vs muscles provide. (Personally, I think it is a tradeoff, since our movement apparatus is just ultra efficient, when it comes to energy, but of course can not provide the advantages that come with other methods like the full turn of joints etc.) PS: Am I the only one who somehow got "Lost in Space" vibes from that thing? :-D

i can imagine a robot maid or assitant. you can order him to get you drink or anything

its got that (can turn anything) creepy I'm coming for you thing demons and robots in Anime can do.

Man, imagine if our battery tech didn't suck. Spot, the robot dog, has ~90 minutes of battery life. This has way more moving parts and a lot more going on so I can't imagine the battery lasting more than 2 hours at most, probably less. It's great that we're seeing all these awesome new innovative robot tech but I honestly think we need really to figure out the whole battery situation.

With all these shocks the industry has been getting everyday, am surprised it's still alive

Shocking is back!!!😂

When you think you are finally safe and the killer robots are walking away from you...

no mention of the Netflix series "Lost In Space" robot....thats the vibe i was getting when i saw the video

Boston Dynamics has stepped up it's game with this new humanoid design. The fact it can change direction on the spot sure makes the possibilities endless for this Atlas V2.

OK. The headlines are finally starting to get to be too much. I can't take much more SHOCKING news. I'm starting to ignore these videos in my feed. Seriously. If everything is SHOCKING and CHANGES EVERYTHING, then nothing does. This robot is impressive, though.

So if robots and AI take 90% of all our jobs what are we all supposed to do to make a living?

We need to see this version doing parkour. Also it can beat any human in yoga for sure.

With some make up and a white gown, long black hair, this robot got a stellar career in the Japanese horror movies xD

Crazy scary looking and moving robot, spinning head like the Exorcist.

If this isn't CGI, they sure did a good job of making it look CGI! Something about the camera motion, robot motion and lighting seems off. I'm not sure why no one else is mentioning that. BD hasn't done CGI before, so I'm surprised with this video.

TheAIGRID on literally every video: "AGI has been achievied"

Okay, gotta say, this one is legit shocking 😂, what in the poltergeist is going on in robotics ?!

I almost jumped

It’s now only a matter of time before we get a droid army like the one from Star Wars the Clone Wars

I'm more shocked over the entire industry being shocked over a robot learning how to stand up and slowly walk away, as a result of 32 years of robotic research.

ngl it reminds me of Chappy.

So this is potentially Boston Dynamic´s next robot for commercial use.. It looks very modular too. This is bigger then Spot.

These would be great for performing work in dangerous confined spaces. You could potentially remote into these to perform work from the comfort of your home.

If it has fine motor skills with its hands, and it is under $500k, it could be a huge asset to small businesses.

Tesla robots are nothing compared to this

looks like its animation with ray tracing

You failed to mention the most awesome part of all of this. The huge 'backpack' has gone because Atlas was driven by hydraulics, a messy and cumbersome setup whereas this guy is fully electric.....cheers.

- We need a long video out of 50 second content for youtube monetization, how many minutes can you do? - Yes

Still can't tell if the demo is real or CGI.

Wow, is this real or all a simulation?

I already want an action figure of this guy! It'll be a while til we get our own full size robot like this, so that would do in the meantime!

First, this is impressive work from Boston Dynamics again. Second, i have mixed feelings about the humanoid shape, and BD clearly feels the same despite the messaging. It is a huge mistake to build a robot that has the same capabilities and limitations as humans, which is what a humanoid robot is. This robot goes beyond humanoid with its grippers and 360-degree joints, but why stop there? Why not put cameras all the way around the head? Then it would not have to rotate its head. An eye is expensive, but a camera is not. Why limitations the cameras to the head? Why not cameras on the feet or grippers? Same with other sensors such as microphones. Why not wheels on its feet? This way it could roll fast on flat surfaces (99% of the time) and use its legs on rugged terrains and stairs. Why not have telescopic arms? What about small detachable robots that could take off from the mother robot and explore inaccessible spaces. Why not three or four arms, or three legs? All these suggestions seem obvious, but they make the robot less human. It is important to not be limited by the humanoid shape. Let's not forget that the most commercially successful Boston Dynamics robot is a four-legged creature, not a humanoid. Dogoid?

Take my advice. He's going to wipe out all the humanity with his stomps and parrying nukes

I have been following Boston Dynamics since before petman and, I think it's phenomenal to see how far they have come. I don't think humanoids are going to be nearly as dangerous as people make them. My one worry is how humans will act towards them. I already have seen people steal, manipulate, destroy scooters and things like that put in the public eyes. I have no doubt people will try to create problems on purpose to make these machines out to be damming. However the one thing we have problems with is the loss of jobs factors created by these robots. There needs to be several people working on a balance for this issue. Where are we going to come up with space for all the humans laid off because of this. Still I am excited for a future with these machines doing jobs in the public eyes.

I can literally see this chasing me through my house with an assault rifle, running towards me at full speed then doing parkour over obstacles to get to me. Then use all my strength and hit it with a baseball bat causing it to fall back to the ground. Thinking its all over....2:03

I can't wait for the advanced robotics to actually join with the AI language models, they will complement each other so well

Notice the way it walks. It seems to have a more human-like gate. It was kind of hard to see, but it doesn't appear to stand/walk with legs in a bend position. It seems to stand for the most part with straight legs.

360° degree rotation? As far as I can tell, they only really show full 180° degrees rotation of the head and legs, right? Still incredibly impressive of course!

I was thinking all along that Boston Dynamics was kind of lagging behind with its Atlas robot. I seemed there wasn’t any progress at all. While the Teslabot jumped leaps and bounds in just a couple of years. So to see this version of the Atlas robot, is pretty impressive. I would love to see more demonstrations though. It’s almost like the robotic companies don’t want to give you too much all at once. Whether it’s because the robot is limited, or they want to tease the public. It will be interesting to see where this goes, due to the fact that once a robot is at the level that it can perform many tasks, have a long battery life, and look sleek, there will be so many people who will want a robot. I’m pretty sure in 5 years things will be happening.

This one SHOCKED the industry too!?! Thats amazing! The industry must be reeling from being SHOCKED so many times! FYI, I heard AI is also good at coming up with video titles!

Power/battery capacity and size is the only limitation, but getting better and better. All the other tech capabilities and possibilities are pretty much worked out and proven in so many other existing applications.

Reminiscent of OCP in Robocop now, the way they’re iterating and expanding. That one picked up a gun too. Or at least it looked a lot like one. 😮

You can tell that three other atlas were filming the entire scene by the reflection on the screen, and it appears that they already have access to the internet.

The problem I see is strength. Atlas was hydraulic for a reason. That is what allows the robot to jump. This baby does not have a lot of space for a battery, so I don't know how strong is going to be. But it's amazingly dextrous and has a formidable equilibrium.

Boston Dynamics does it again. Bringing to reality the most terrifying robots from Hollywood fantasy. While I'm impressed at the technology, I'm unsettled by the morbid and unnatural why it's limbs twist. Reminded me immediately of the T-1000 morphing front to back rather than turning around.

I'm wondering what the antenna is for. Is the processing all onboard or is it communicating with a standalone processor?

It looks much more compact than Atlas. I sort of like the idea of using a hybrid power system. I know that early iterations of Boston Dynamic systems used internal combustion engines. They were quite loud. If they simply put a nice quiet exhaust like they do for the average car, the noise wouldn't be too loud. I know battery tech has made leaps and bounds. Cordless tools are awesome now. That said, they are still way behind the energy density of gasoline. Imagine a 50 Horse Power engine powering a walking robot. You know it won't be long before they are used to kill on the battlefield.

They need to work on making it quieter and it needs the ability to swivel its hips from side to side for a more natural walk and stability.

I was actually really shocked when I read "atlas got retired"... and this one... I love how it is able to move =D I wished, I could do that too! And on the back "001" XD I gave my smartphone that name +two letters in networks as a stupid joke.

This thing would be super scary powered by the latest AI where it could just scan anyone and know everything about them combined with freaky Terminator meets Pennywise movements. The world in the future is gonna be an interesting place.
