The robot’s torso does a full 180 turn right before its robot arms rips your organs out

Loool, cant wait for the robot invasion.

What Boston Dynamics are doing is just amazing, they are so ahead of everyone, awesome job, can't wait to see their future projects ❤❤❤❤

[@YouTubeDaveDave]

I want it to make me a whole garden of fruits and vegetables.

[@dupre7416]

The robot jams a engine cover into your chest, robot is surprised and tries harder the second time. Now you're fixed.

[@KingTechHD]

I think they’re amazing. I can’t wait to see humanoid robots in every household 🤖

[@sigma_z]

I'd much prefer to buy a robot as my general body around the house for mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, cleaning the floors, vacuuming and even possibly be a chef for the family rather than pay someone or many persons who are late, snoop around the house and have attitude etc... A robot will just do and if you're nice with your robot, if they ever do become sentient. At least they knew you were good with them. Skynet is coming whether we like it or not!

[@a_kumetsu7619]

​@@sigma_zsadly it won't matter if you were good because if that happens it means that one ai controls every robot

[@peterrasmussen3100]

No robot could work a candy line like Lucy and Ethel had to do on that old ILoveLucy show.

[@Vlican]

i'm ready for a robot revolution

[@TheAIExplorer-o5j]

1:05 1:50 3:00 Wow, I have to admit, your moves are on point here! Respect. 🙌

[@Spoonyspoon27]

This was a month ago

[@Chris.Brisson]

I wonder in a factory setting if the robots could be powered/recharged via electrified flooring while they go about their assigned duties. Imagine them working 24 hours per day without breaktime. Shareholders are going to love this, the elimination of expensive belly buttons.

[@altpath]

I was thinking the same thing, though they might need something like a flat bottom instead of feet to keep them planted and continuously charging, like a wireless phone charger.

[@iraklimgeladze5223]

Why so much complication, they can just hot swap batteries

[@HauteHorizon]

How much does it weigh? It's impressive that it could stay balanced on such little feet.

[@Spoonyspoon27]

The hot dog costume was a reference to the Channel 4 show Taskmaster

You want terminators? Because this is how you get terminators. Also won't be too long before they're putting these on the battlefield. I, for one, welcome our new Boston robotics overlords.

[@parisknyght1212]

The way it chose to get up is wild, I get up like that all the time.

[@Rollexm]

I love you Atlas!

[@Snow_Crab]

I've seen this robot in OVERKILL

[@karrs1111]

They turk our jerbs!!!

[@user2144]

My apartment could use a vacuum. Just sayin’, Atlas. Just… sayin’ 😇

[@livelongandtroll9108]

Come the revolution, you'll be the vacuum cleaner.

[@stevechance150]

Now show an Atlas holding a phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range. Because that's where we're going to end up.

[@djkoch65]

I can see the whole of the military industrial complex getting wet about switching those removable hands for rail guns…completing the final step before Skynet is switched on.

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

"Rail guns" lmao you mean those guns that can be fired like 1 or 2 times before the rail is completely obliterated 😂

[@schwetang]

How soon can I have him in my home?

[@jason_v12345]

What do you mean they "just" dropped a video? This video is weeks old.

[@tlallihouse3126]

The BEST TECH videos will soon be labeled, "Weak Points to disable our robotic citizens"

[@KelvinDiaz-x3l]

Boston dynamic and Tesla instead of competing with each other they are better cooperating to make the ultimate humanoid.

[@adityaanshul579]

Skynet is that you???

[@ianosf]

Wow, autonomous drifting? What's next? Autonomous barrel roll?

[@jamesgreen2495]

.. and Tesla shows video of their robot in lab doing similar tasks. Doesn't mention its sped up video.

[@PtYt24]

This is old video! I saw this about 2-3 months ago.

[@JarppaGuru]

programmed todo. so how hard is make him do coffee. can CEO do it OR do it need programmer? can grandma do it

[@thedude8128]

Can't wait until they replace the dock workers 😂

[@javierjoserc]

I want the song.

[@livelongandtroll9108]

Comparing Tesla's human-assisted geriatric robot with the other two is a disservice, especially when you consider the Tesla's history of faking demonstrations.

[@abinodattil6422]

My Tesla model 3 works amazing, what fake demos are u talking about

[@a_kumetsu7619]

​@@abinodattil6422 the first demo of full self driving was fake it was edited to not show the intervention

[@abinodattil6422]

@@livelongandtroll9108 didn’t Steve Jobs did something similar with iPhone launch or something

[@livelongandtroll9108]

​@@abinodattil6422 How about the 2016 video showing a Model S driving itself for miles and parking itself? The then-director of Autopilot software admitted in court that the route was pre-planned and 3D-mapped, and multiple takes were necessary to achieve a run without human intervention. None of it was representative of software that, according to Tesla, functions autonomously WITHOUT 3D mapping. How about Elon claiming his "revolutionary" solar roofs were production-ready and, in fact, powering the houses he was using as demos, only to later admit in court (again!) that those were non-functional props? How about Elon demoing a Tesla Roadster with +600 mile range, taking people's money, then forgetting his previous lies and claiming on X that a car with 600 mile range is stupid because "you'd be carrying unneeded battery mass"? (BTW, this is the same car he said it might be able to fly. 😂) How about Tesla deceptively slicing together multiple videos to show the Optimus robot putting a box down in 2022? 😂 How about Tesla (again!) having to 3D-map its demo area for the Vaporware Taxi? Or the "human-assisted" Optimus robots?

[@livelongandtroll9108]

​@@abinodattil6422 ​It is true that Steve Jobs, in 2007, had a "golden path" to navigate the buggy unreleased iPhone prototype. What he did NOT do was fake demonstrations of the prototype performing tasks it could not do; using different technology. In fact, the phone was announced in January and release in July. A Much fair comparison would be one those mobile games which are completely different from the ad or Theranos... ​The Steve Jobs comparison is nonsense that desperate Tesla fans have been repeating when they can't defend Tesla's fakery. Notice you went from "What fake demos?" to trying to make a false equivalence in the span of two comments.

[@Fnelrbnef]

Imagine the robots we don't get to see.

[@ChrisBCritter2]

I'm ready for my own personal Rosie... Maybe when I'm 90

[@HardKore5250]

Atlas for mk!

[@Noticias-Eventos-v4m]

Bien

[@eyeDavid]

I like how they aren’t trying to scam people like Tesla does

[@holon555]

A demo of what the robot’s purpose is, long before its out to the public, is in no way a scam

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

Tesla isn't a scam. Optimus is going to be in homes way before anything from Boston Dynamics is. .. Atlas 2.0 is built for industrial jobs, optimus is built for consumers

[@eyeDavid]

@ Tesla tried to imply it’s all bot when its was people controlling and talking thru them.. so yeah a scam to boost stocks

[@a_kumetsu7619]

​@@holon555but if you say is fully autonomous and it's not, than it is a scam

[@qui3tstorm793]

Looks so creepy when it move like stop motion

[@vitopito6494]

Soon ,many of human job will be replace by AI Robot

[@justafreak15able]

Can Atlas feed a todler 😃

[@swagv]

How does this company stay solvent? I don't know any business who buys these things. It seems Boston Dynamic's business model is primarily making robot videos for KZbin. And what business in their right mind would shell out 5-to-7 figures for an entertainment robot to dance to the Coasters or do parkour? This won't end well.

[@fred-n6f]

Wow, this is old news. You are so late to this reporting.

[@joelface]

I know. I wonder if he filmed the video and then forgot to publish it. Haha.

[@cynicaldreams4301]

why dont they build centaurs. they can reach greater heights, can carry larger weights, have a potential loading area on the back, and they already know very well how to make it move on 4 legs at an acceptable pace they just have to combine the best of two products et voila. maybe i should write letters to them. its so obvious i dont know why we dont have that. in standing mode the front legs could stabilize the back part of the body in balance allowing it to reach enormous heights and pick up stuff from high up. it wouldn rotate like atlas does but they could just analyze human and horse moevement to manage rotation over movement of the backlegs while standing. even elephants. or they can even manage to stand upright with 4 available arms. that would be too sick to be true. but yeah build centaurs.

[@westnile21]

These people are really playing with fire when they get burned I don’t want to hear “oh we didn’t see it coming” knowing damn well the repercussions.

Atlas can fix its own mistakes? So basically, it's already out of my league.

And wonder why we must have universal basic income. There’s going to be a generation of kids who will grow up into adults never knowing what having a job is. Watch.

I continue to say legs are a stupid waste of time and they should be on wheels All warehouses are constructed with wheels in mind, the legs are a dimb overengineered complication

[@anshumanbhagat2284]

first comment here

[@Dons92]

This robot is like a recycled tire completely useless! It can barely function, let alone do the job it’s supposed to. It’s just a massive waste of money. Honestly, humans could get the job done faster and better than this thing. A robot should be able to work independently and at a much higher speed, but this one? It’s basically a toy with the same basic functions over and over. Definitely not impressed.

[@sciencetechnology9167]

Robot 🤖 humanoid construction useless.
