Spot Autonomous Navigation
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2018
- Spot autonomously navigates a specified route through an office and lab facility. Before the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot. During the autonomous run, Spot uses data from the cameras to localize itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles. Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own. Total walk time for this route is just over 6 minutes. (The QR codes visible in the video are used to measure performance, not for navigation.)

As a programmer for robots and autonomous, this video is legitimately crazy. The amount of work and skill put into that obstacles avoidance auto is nuts.

*that was a close one*
lol :)
I bet the emergency shutdown for the robot is a kick up its arse
The obstacle avoidance data visualization is spectacularly interesting!
I'd love to see more of it.
Incredible work, guys! :)
As well as the 3d render simulating it's walk cycle
and the outside world is blocked off so it doesn't wander off and possibly get broken

**Humans huddle around excitedly to watch robots do things they can already do**
we love 'em so much
it's like a baby that's been growing up since the early-mid 20th century taking its first steps
Humans could spin turbines too, but eventually they decided to hand it off to machines. Now machines do it much better than humans. I believe same will happen with everything else that does not involve psychology.
Eileen Vilaca all it needs is two 40 on it and it’s a beast
if we applied that to all sciences in their early years ,we would still be living without electricity.
Then what else are we supposed to call the science of the human mind?
Astrology is not a real science. Psychology is.
If it doesn't run through a screen door, can you really call it a dog?
Lucas M they made a dog sized robot, not a robot dog. Though I'm sure it would break a screen door if it was stuck and going through was the only way out.

honestly, its amazing yall have gotten your kinesthetics as smooth as you have, Atlas and Spot are doing great, just a little more fluidity, and some deep learning neural nets, maybe a few more sensors to determine balance, stress, pressure, and youve got a complete jaguar.
Not only can it climb stairs, but it can do it backwards too, which solves the problems associated with the type of joints it has. It's seriously impressive technology.
Sidenote, does it remind anyone else of the Tau robots from Warhammer 40k?
Saturn666 I can see tau, the smooth rounded bits and little sensors all over.
Put them derpy horse head masks on one
Marcelo Manteuffel They will just have to work around it. If we are going to make any progress in the word then we must make sacrifices. Together we can make a world full of cute robots with derpy horse head masks.

Onwards, glorious steed!
The technological progression on this autonomous system is fascinating. Would like to see some of the different attachments that have been designed for the unit.
The obstacle avoidance system falls nothing short of brilliant, although it has the ability to execute real time obstacle avoidance but it hasn't been revealed and as such we are witnessing a next generation of S&R, Security Drones, and countless other applications that remain to be revealed. Once again, well done to the *Boston Dynamics Team*
I have found a weakness with the Terminator's design. It cannot decent stairs easily and must turn around before attempting to do so. We may still have a chance to survive.
Indeed
Yeah until version 2.0
Oryan just toss a blanket over it :-)
Oryan Not funny anymore.
mazzo We already have that in the big cities. We just need to get rid of all the elevators.
Small, retractable, electric wheels on the feet is definitely doable. That or wheels that can even morph from wheel to foot pad mode. With magnets. Pls.
Well rather than just wheels, the bot has become a wonderful platform for the myriad of possibilities available since you guys are doing such a wonderful job with the motion dynamics, etc.
Been watching your progress for years; Absolutely fantastic work. keep it up!
Honestly. Extremely impressed by the advancements made by you all at BD.

I like the way it went down the stairs it was reminded me of a baby scooting down the stairs backwards 😂
potato man
Perfect Lazer measurements and distance memory

He*. You said it but dude that thing is alive
I think it's just easier for it with it's joint configuration, if you have ever had, or at least watched a real dog, they go up the stairs bounding, and then are laughably inept at going down them. Of course part of it its just fear, but it's also harder to physically do.
Maybe it was not backwards...
I've wanted to know, does this thing have the capability to follow you as you walk? of course it won't be perfect, but it's a thing I would love to be a feature.
Unitree Go1 has that feature, it just follows the label remote attached to your belt. Spot could be programmed to do so I bet, but I never seen a video of Spot following a person.
YEAH! Keep adding functions to it until it doesn't need you anymore.
Just to make clear: THIS IS AWESOME!
Would be a great pet and a Portable Wi-Fi access point.

There are lots of uses for a robot dog, waiters, food delivery, transport, a pet that doesnt shit on the floor.
Dear god, they can handle stairs now. Our primary defence against daleks has been overcome. When the AI revolution comes, you will regret having taught them that, Boston Dynamics!
Busc - or will they? maybe they know what's up, they will be rewarded for their loyalty in the _new World Order,_ make sure the human servants know their place.
Dreadnought AI - if it detects a threat to its existence, it will do what it feels is necessary to preserve itself. Irrespective of past favours
I believe ladders are still safe. For now...
Basement ScienceE - Don't give them any ideas
They can always be programmed so their existence won't matter. However in hands of bad guys it can be very dangerous.
Next up: Feet, so they can get the legs to touch the ground in a four-step cadence just like a real animal (rather than the two-legs-simultaneously method currently used), which in turn could lead to faster mobility, perhaps even genuine run speeds.
The obstacle data view was incredible!

Search & destroy? Lol how old r u 12?
I think, Google has access to more pictures than Facebook. They have scraped whole Internet. But those petabytes of images are useless. This guy needs generalized models so he can avoid obstacles, roads, danger zones etc. Also it looks like he can't deal with moving obstacles because all the stuff around stands still.

3:00 When you just realise you forgot something.
Xd
Remember, all it is is just an inanimate object with a set of complex instructions working together to move its motorized parts and simulate awareness of its surroundings. Under the appearance of accomplishing these tasks on its own accord.
It’s simply another unconscious computer like any other, but is programmed and made to utilize its energy to perform the tasks you’re seeing now. Albeit, I’d gander in a random, undetermined fashion. Tasks coded and engineered directly into its firmware. Nothing more, nothing less.
I would personally agree with you that this robot isn't "conscious", however it could be argued, perhaps, that its cognition is at a higher level than, say, a starfish.
As robots and artificial intelligence get better, robots will continue to be "objects with sets of complex instructions working together to move its motorized parts", but it will eventually become difficult to argue that they are not conscious.
I don't think we have the right to consider ourselves the arbiters of consciousness unless we can, at the very least, produce a definition of consciousness that _we ourselves_ are happy with. The day will come when no outward test for consciousness can disqualify a robot from the ranks of conscious beings.
😍every video of yours leaves me speechless
If the QR codes taped to the walls are used to measure performance (as said in the video description), what performance parameters are they measuring? Time splits?
_窮 i think its check points for the map...
Most likely for positioning inside the room, because s this is an actual problem (solution can be, for example Apple iBeacon product).
No, it says that positioning is based on 3d enviroment scanning, QR tags are just to log when reaching checkpoint, i guess.
I guess it's like street signs for the robot when navigating the workshop.
No, description says "QR codes are used to measure performance, not for navigation". So it's probably just fallback dev tool for logging timestamps. If you remove them navigation will still work.
*WWIII in action.* Day log 4. These dog like creatures are crushing our soldiers with their mounted miniguns.

That seems like a rather inefficient use of a minigun. The soldiers should be glad that the dog like creatures are content with using them as crushing implements instead of actually firing the weapons.

If your views of robots tend to be based on black mirror and terminator, just for a moment - imagine the possibilities robotics can bring. OK - someone will use them for something bad. Yes there will be military bots, despite UN opposition to them. Yes they are goner tookerjerbs in some places. That's been true throughout history, and it sucks. Then we adapt. New jobs emerge.
Maybe you're thinking in terms of what you DON'T want robotics to be. "Dont be skynet". OK fine. But what do you WANT a robot to do for you? No, not that, mind out of the gutter please. What about onsite medical aid, 24/7? You have a crash, there are bots there immediately to tend to you. Remote transportation - you are lost, hiking in the hills. You might die. You press a button and a human lift capable drone comes to find you, unhindered by whether a human SAR crew is available. Robots that can care for the disabled or old (it WILL be you one day) in their own homes, giving them independence.
What about something simpler? A personal assistant robot that can help you shop, or go and fetch you food or find a table for you. What about a telepresence robot linked by VR that lets you be at any show or event in the world, then go have dinner in your own living room? Maybe its all only for The One Percent? Maybe it won't be. Possibilities.
Robots have brought car manufacture back to countries that had outsourced to cheap offshore labour. Even tesla recognises you can overautomate and human abilities are needed. Automation can drive down cost so far that products that would have been dollars now cost only pence. Every downside has an up. What robotics can do for us is mind blowing. Regurgitated paranoia, internet clickbait and dystopian stories actually stop people from thinking and dreaming, and when that happens you are only left with the shitty options.
Big Business (including Big Tech) has made it clear that pretty much everything they do and develop is in the interest of their own profits. Onsite medical aid 24/7? Maybe for the military and obscenely wealthy; no way will the average citizen be allowed such benefits.
Look at the robots that exist now--yet we still have firefighters running into burning buildings and trekking dangerous terrain to extinguish wildfires. Robots should have (and could have) taken over those tasks years ago, but since it's cheaper to use humans, the investment isn't made.
Only when it's *profitable* for big business to do something that's genuinely in society's interest will they (and government) actually invest in doing it. Otherwise, they'll do what they want, and engineer technology that causes harm to the masses, but makes big bucks for the executives and shareholders (ethics be damned).
Make no mistake: This robot dog thing was funded by DoD...just like everything in Silicon Valley once was (and mostly still is). Sometimes it's good to stop people from dreaming: the stuff of dreams is also the stuff of nightmares. Think twice before unleashing "dogs of war" like these robots, because reality could bite *all of us* in the ass.
Wireline you are probably a robot
beep boop
It seems to me like all new innovations and advancements go through "end of the world" stuff and how we shouldn't act like we are gods and all that.
It's all superstitious nonsense to me.
I want a robot that looks and feels like humans with a superintelligent and empathetic AI. They would be companion robot privy to objective facts while able to expertly deal with emotion. I want my own therapy robot.

RepartusS This is too good of a technology for a capitalist nation to only use it for militaristic needs. This type of tech would be used heavily as purchasable androids and or other means of transportation robots that could do things for you.
Matt Polston for people with disabilities. This could move them inside the house or get things inside a house. Better than a dog because it can have a sort of hand to open things. If a person has to be in bed for acute illness, this could help the. I like this creation but only for helping humans or going to other planets.
Boston dynamics made BigDog which was supposed to be used in the military to carry supplies, but it was abandoned since the robot was too loud. we need silencers for our robots
On the battlefield? That's a stupid idea. The idea of bigdog was for transportation, and that's fine. But actual weaponized machines will not be worth it. If we're sending robots onto the field, the enemy is probably doing it too. So all your doing is wasting the money of both sides by having them destroy each other, it would probably even be comical rather than serious!
@@SilvinaLisboa Your average Black Mirror watching anti-intellectual that frequents these videos doesn't care whether the disabled suffer or whether their suffering can be alleviated or not, they care more about the fictional suffering of the characters they see on TV and their entire view of robotics and technology is colored by cheap low bro dystopian media.

That’s actually incredible
Funny thing is most of this is also being used in video games; navigation maps and local collision avoidance. Engineers can learn from each other and apply similar ideas.
AntonioR Software it's way easier to define movement in the internal coding in video games than this though. They have to use some complicated kinematics calculations to make sure all the legs balance properly and provide the desired movement for any situation it assesses that it can safely make it past.
I was just talking about environment mapping and that kind of stuff. The actual kinematics to move a robot is a completely different topic of course.
This is going to be horrific when armed with tasers and ordnance, running at 40mph
Yep, only think plural. About 40 of them coming at a time. Each one is only trivially armed or armored (a bit of Kevlar and carbon fiber, maybe double-gauge aluminum over sensitive parts). Maybe a stun gun front and back, maybe four bullets each to shoot.
But they're a pack of 40 running on a local area network using swarm and pack logic. 40 bodies, one mind, one target, YOU. And they have 20 more eyes overhead with the armed drones flying around.
it certainly WILL be frightening and WILL happen but I don't know about 40.
Maybe in a full scale war. In a police capacity I can imagine a SWAT team like configuration of these things. They'll be programmed to run elaborate plays with prefigured "plan B" fall back provisions as well. (robot voice) "run away!"
Cheetahs can run 60-70mph. I can't physics that well, but maybe with the prosthetic blades athlete runners use after they lose a partial leg below the knee.
Also with pistols .45 caliber ,hehe
