    Nice to see a robot that doesn’t walk like it has shit its pants. 👍

    It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.
    This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.

    Quite impressive, but not necessarily in a positive way. I especially get uneasy with the robot having 360 degree vision, turning its head 180 degrees, walking backwards towards me, and in the process rotating the rest of its body. I do appreciate them not trying to make it look like a human, nor treating it as one. Seeing the renders of groups of these clankers, especially with the knowledge of them being able to share their “intelligence”, is frankly horrifying to me.

    Too bad they’re sold out, I would so get one for at home. Unless it’s cloudbound. I would want an open sourced or locally controlled.
