Meet Our Future Masters - Caution: They Might Be A Little Scary
Boston Dynamics is a company building robots and every few months they release some footage about the feasts their creations can undergo. I'm sure many of you remember the one doing flip flaps, that one was hilarious.
Well, these two little guys are not very hilarious, at least for me.
Try to decompose the moves the robotic arms does and you'll see how tremendously advanced this whole thing is.
Thoughts?

Awww poor robby. I'll go and found PETR (People for the Ethical Treatment of Robots)
If PETR will be just as bad and violent as PETA ... those robots will be better off as is :p
Machine life is being developed at such an extreme pace that humanoid robots, powered by Artificial Intelligence, will be a part of everyday life, may even replace humanity within a few years... Really scary!
We seem to do a great job at replacing or at least diminishing our humanity ourselves. We don't really need robots for that!
True!
Haha!! this one is so good!!.... well, I'm pretty sure we won't stop making Robots until its too late and they can make new copies of themselves. Then yeah, that does sound like humans.
Looks like I'm in the minority as far as comments go. No, I'm not so keen on a Skynet scenario, but machines that can do stuff for you? That's what a lot of human advancement has been about.
Besides, didn't we learn from Avengers: Age of Ultron that for every AI that determines we are the problem and need to die, there will be another superior AI that will save us and then hand us over to a UN oversight committee instead? :)
Gave me an uncanny feeling the way they were moving... Made me remember so many rogue machine movies and action scenes...
Wow they have come along in the few years since they released that video when they finally got the robot to stabilize itself and not fall down to the floor, the one where they kicked and kicked the robot and it never fell.
I need to do more digging to check if the robot is programmed to open that door specifically or if they are using deep learning algorithms and the robot now knows how to open all doors if he recognizes a handle he can pull.
Aha! This is what I was wondering. But if they manage to get it to recognize the handle of one door, it's only a matter of time until they get better recognition. Google has been developing some pretty advanced OCR as of recently.

They'd be far more scary if they were designed with humanoid forms, don't you think?
Noooooo waaayy!! I had seem some robots with balance control and all but this is way on the next level. Whewww! These technological advancements make me a little anxious. What's coming next?
wow.......so good robot.....i like this video.......@dragosroua
