These guys are (scary) good

No doubt some of us have seen stuff by Boston Dynamics before but they're just getting better and better.
Check this out

Frack, a Cylon.................This has happened before and will happen again!

We're in trouble just as soon as robots learn how to get upstairs.

Very impressive, even if the whole thing is programmed in as a one-trick pony. Seemed to catch its left foot scaling those blocks?

The scary part is whether the military see them as viable.

I'm sure they could be...I mean, we've all seen Robocop

Boston Dynamics do a lot of work for DARPA.

Probably not (yet)
There's already a high tech solution to stop them.

I can see this technology being used for paraplegics and amputees within the next 10 years...

So not that intelligent then as I would given the guy with the hockey stick a proper shove

One-trick? I don't think so:

• Two years ago...The Next Generation
  
  
• Five months ago...Getting some air

when they become self aware the guy with the hockey stick is going to be sorry :)

New video from them. It's all good fun till the flame thrower starts.

I eagerly await their entry for next year's One Man and His Dog.

Black mirror! anyone?

That episode is terrifying!

[Brighty]

They don't always work, sometimes they fail, then get in a strop, then fall over

[hogthrob]

A paint ball to the eye will stop 'em.

We use these robots in the industry I work in. Perfect for hazardous situations where humans would be at safety risk.

I was sitting in the office one day and a couple walk past me being controlled by a person with a hand held device. Very impressive.

Yep - ‘you have 50 seconds to comply’
