[Boston Dynamics] Unofficial demonstration of "Handle", a wheeled robot that goes really fast - General

That looks like the most capable dancing robot ever created

we're alarmingly close to metal-gear levels of bipedal movement now seriously, just stick some blades onto the arms of this bot and you have a horrific death machine on your heads

I could see this in some retro-futuristic 50's Diner, serving Milkshakes. I mean, before violently crushing your skull in the first act of the inevitable robot uprising.

[QUOTE=rndgenerator;51767114]Send it to ISIS territory, see what they do[/QUOTE] Stick on a doppler radar to detect in coming RPGs and it can duck and weave RPGs on while driving closer to hit them with its sword.

I like how the camera guy creamed his pants when it jumped

[QUOTE=Foogooman;51767478]I like how the camera guy creamed his pants when it jumped[/QUOTE] The camera guy is [url=http://dfj.com/people/steve-jurvetson]Steve Jurvetson[/url], by the way. Billionaire venture capitalist. SpaceX/Tesla early VC. [media]https://twitter.com/dfjsteve/status/826531584085893122[/media] He's a great guy.

[QUOTE=revan740;51765606]Honestly it made my shoulders feel tense, because it looked like it was holding its arms back behind its giant head the entire time.[/QUOTE] Even robots know that they gotta go fast..

[QUOTE=WJS;51765301]I can imagine these things replacing binmen or something[/QUOTE] citizen you have failed to separate all recyclable materials from your residential waste you have 10 seconds to comply

I imagine one of the "nightmarish" factors of this bad boy is the orientating of its arms, bent forward like the claws of a praying mantis. Or a Hydralisk, in a way.

[QUOTE=Drury;51765588]Notice how not a single motherfucker dared to mess with this guy. Humans are learning to know their place.[/QUOTE] What happened to Hans and his hockey stick?.. :( I was gonna laugh at this thing for having wheels and probably not being able to go through messy terrain, until I saw it jump that obstacle...

[QUOTE=Kickasskyle;51765781]Here's another video of the same bit, with some more extra stuff added on and better quality. [video=youtube;YnDZMg-DQbQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnDZMg-DQbQ[/video][/QUOTE] Holy shit when that robot dog picked up the can on the table. So smooth, so fast and gentle. Remember when Toyota Asimo was a big deal? We've really gone so far in such a short time.
