This is either really good or really bad :excited:
Congratulations, bearded guy who wanted to be a dick to the robot. You're the reason robots are going to kill us all.
I just started laughing when it got itself back up, it looked like something out of a movie. It's hard to believe that stuff like this is real and we could see bots like this doing tasks in our lifetime.

I wanna call him Hans for some reason.
He reminds me of a german scientist that laughs at mischief but is still german enough to be highly efficient.
And the robot walks and stumbles as if it took a huge shit in his pants while drunk as fuck.
Serious Chappie vibes from this.
And fuck that guy, he was [I]so[/I] rude to that robot.
They really made some great progress in the last decade, I'm amazed.
02:10 "Oh now I'm really mad!"
It sounded pissed off when it got back up. This is the beginning...
Also it must be terrifying to live/work near boston dynamics, never know what is going to come out of there.
half expected him to go after the guy with the hockey club
I love within the first ten seconds the robot is like "I gotta get the fuck outta here" and just walks out the door and wanders off into the snow to die.
Than apparently they found him and put him to work as a stock boy only to be again tormented by the evil Manager Dave.
I like the look of this new prototype. I'm eager to see what cool new improvements Boston Dynamics are gonna make to their next iteration of man-shaped droids.
Hopefully their improvements to ATLAS will give them the same swagger that PETMAN had.

PETMAN had a sweet-ass walk to them.

I almost scary how much I naturally empathized with the robot when the engineer was fucking with it, my immediate thought was "what the fuck man :("
between the endearing dog-like robots and this thing, Boston Dynamics have pretty much nailed the visual design and function down as far as making their robots relatable but not uncanny.

And some sweet-ass kicks too to go with it.
I also like to imagine that the receptionist has a panic button that they can hit that immediately activates all of the robot displays in the foyer and causes them to beat the shit out of anybody in there
that bigger version of Atlas looks like it could rip someones fucking head off

True. We're probably never gonna get 'em looking like Data, but we can still make them look good in different ways. Hell, give them a head that looks like binoculars or a desk lamp, and they'd probably look even cuter.

Almost looks like it could be a military model, like some sort of "automated auxiliary".
boston dynamics you say?
preparing the commonwealth for 2077
The noise it makes during this scene, all I can think is [B]"KILL MODE ACTIVATED"[/B].

Honestly the engineer probably cringes more than any of us every time he pushes and shoves the robot, I mean him and whatever team worked on the thing are the ones who probably poured thousands of hours of work into the thing.
To put something so complex together and then knock it around like that is something that would put me on edge every time, I swear.
I wonder. Is that silvery cylinder in its frame meant to be its head, like some sort of high-speed camera? 'cause with the frame enclosing it like a hood, it kinda reminds me of the E-100 series of robots from Sonic Adventure.
All it needs is to be powered by a trapped birdie.

Pretty sure they'll try to go for a unique look that isn't portrayed in fiction often. They're already quite different so it's a nice start.

yeah, Spot had the same thing, it's for obstacle avoidance IIRC
How great would it be if someone stumbled into this thing while it was walking through the woods.
Man, imagine how natural and organic their walking will be in a few years, it's going to be fucking sweet
its so adorable
consumer version when

More like a panic button for everytime they try to just walk out the door.
It happened like twice in this video.
I wonder how the basic navigation works. Can they just feed it GPS waypoints? Could they feed it a single waypoint and let it problem-solve a route through trial and error? I'm so freaking excited.
See it's hands shaking while hockey-stick-fuckhead was being a dick? Robot got 'tude

I'm sure with basic navigation it's given a point in space around it and has to approach that area, avoiding obstacles and using the spinning camera on the head to find said obstacles. for stuff like picking up the boxes, it seems to be programmed a certain way to detect where the black QR code looking things are and do stuff with those, which is why the door at the end had some on it as well, as well as the box it was picking up.
Imagine being alone in the woods in the future and you see this thing walking through the trees and instantly shit yourself because it is immensely dangerous.

I'm fairly confident that it has a laser range finder sweeping for depth perception (it has the spinning head).
I love how it like puffs itself up at 2:19 and like starts to stomp its feet before storming out.
"Fuck it! I have had enough of this shit!"
