It's a bot that knows how to roller blade. Nothing nightmarish about that. Unless you're in a roller derby at the local skating rink :)
Now if we can just teach them to iceskate.
Lol. The nightmarish part was mainly a quote from the company founder. Maybe they can pair up with this company to get competitive figure skating bots:
#NightmareFuel
Lol. Now I want to dress it up like a dragon!
Can I hire you to bring one of these robots to an event? If yes, i am totally serious.
I wish I could provide that for you. Unfortunately I'm not affiliated with the company or have one myself. I can dig around to see if there is a way to request a demo from Boston dynamics. I think I remember something like that for Softbank robotics.
Wow,
Because I've seen some of their earlier work, I only watched the last video. Your title nails it; I am going to have nightmares after watching this. It is horrifying to imagine these "creatures" put to use by some bad actors, particularly government/police organizations.
Thanks, I think... :O 😄😇😄
I hear you there! It has been funded by DARPA where that's a real possibility. I know irobot had multiple robots that were field tested, some with gun attachments. The upside (to some degree) was that only the human controller (and not the bot itself) could actually press the fire button.
Yeah, and how long will that constraint last? :O
These robots really are the stuff of nightmares; all my worst sci-fi screen horrors brought to life!
Well, guess it's time for Asimov's three laws... ;)
It looks like a monster from 1980s Dr Who!
