- Military robotics technology is not far behind as our world becomes more advanced. If you have seen Corridor Digital’s parody video, you may know what the future will look like. Don't worry; the realism of that video is a testament to the advancements in visual effects at the Los Angeles production studio, and not necessarily robotics.
But to be honest, we are not far behind, and in this video, we will explore a company and its line of robots that are leading the charge to make soldiers obsolete. - Zábava

Imagine you are protesting and then 1000 such robots with machine guns show up. When you try to upload videos of this massacre to the internet and your phone says your internet permissions have been revoked and you cannot upload anything.
This is going to happen in the future
In the very near future.
700 robots with machine guns and 300 with 12 gauge street sweepers.
This already happens, but the “robots” have nominal human brains. #allcopsarebots
that's why you shouldn't waste time protesting and start growing yourself
We have a couple of the yellow dog style robots at my work, and we tried to do everything to make them fail. Up and to including throwing them at people, they identified humans and did every maneuver not to touch any human, and they succeeded. Absolutely astonishing.
Can of spray paint buddy - no one at your work place got any imagination?
@@ruzziasht349he’s not tryna fuck up the robot lmao just tryna make it fail
So when you throw it at a human, it "maneuvers" in the air and avoids humans. A dog robot? I don't think so.
LIES
I guess you could call it beta testing. Company is looking at buying a ton of these and they wanted to insure they were flawless. I will say the majority were floored by their performance.
When the robot says: "Drop your gun" and your not holding one...
Ethical programming by Boston Dynamics can easily become unethical programming by anyone else. The genie is out of the bottle now, others will make them into killers.
Even Boston Dynamics' ethical programming can become unethical with a slight change in it's board of directors' composition and beliefs and they could upload that change like damn terms of service.
China is stealing all of this tech as we speak and will have zero concern for ethics.
Yes like a beer pissing spot robot
Boston Dynamics is planning to change its name for Cyberdyne Systems.
If it weren't Boston Dynamics it would be someone else, regardless. The genie was out of the bottle as soon as we started making tools.
"Put down your weapon, you've got 20 seconds to comply!" It's becoming real
Better put it down.
No way your going to dodge a robot
Nbc will soon start on a new series with the Hanzenegger 1000… to kill a predator🤖🤖🤖. The child molesters will call the day the show starts Judgement Day!☠️☠️☠️
What if I refuse because its my weapon but I mean no harm to anyone
And then they'll be military drones and tanks with lasers on them. Think I saw it in a movie once.
While I fully appreciate the technical advancements in robotics, I think it is more important to work towards the elimination of war rather than the creation of mechanical soldiers that turn war into a video game with real world consequences for those who are deemed "collateral damage".
good to know we are now living in what was sci fi in the past,from cyberdine to westworld,to weyland yutani,to issac asimov to umbrella corp, to cylons to bladerunner....
pretty soon normal humans would have to go for cerebral cortex implants and cybernetically engineered sleeves in order to compete with their robotic counterparts for jobs in amazon distribution centers. soon man will live in a technological dystopia, a dieing species,in a technological dystopian bladerunner like world where everything looks 80s and the only written language is Japanese for some reason......man will wander the city's labyrinth of darkness and steel,estranged from his humanity and isolated
EXACTLY!
And they said:
"No human casualties when used in the military", but they kill the enemy, so there are human casualties..
There will always be war, from cave men to well into our future. Humans are very flawed.
Eliminating the war? No kidding, for this, you must eliminate mankind. And rats. So maybe replacing mankind by robots IS the solution indeed.
@chrisose correct! the art of war backs that philosophy, congrats.
This video basically kills my joy for robots with none stop talking about how it can be used as solider in military. Its like the dude is drooling over how it can be made into a killer robot in a dystopian future.
0:25 Won't take long before the robot turns around, deals with the hockey-stick threat first, and then continuing to shoot cans or whatever. 😬
The scariest part about these soldiers is that they would always listen to commands from their high authority. Humans can rebel if were given evil orders but they cant and would follow them without complaint.
This is precisely why they are being developed. Things are gonna get ugly in the next 2 generations. I’m glad i won’t be here to see it.
@@sub-jec-tiv you will see it
Yes, even now the military are told to refuse orders that are un-Constitutional and illegal. A robot doesn't make choices.
@@kingtnaughty189 See it. Maybe. But to old to do anything about it, so...I'll worry about it when they hit the beach in the Dominican Republic.
They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
I'm going to start investing in EMP technologies.
Good idea!
Yes great. Best decision.
Another idea is camouflage from thermal vision by using a ton a radiators.
Or just make a ton of campfires. Either one works
And while humans start to turn on each other when low on resourses, one has to wonder when that would happen to robots.
*I showed this to my dad. He was in the US Army in the 1960’s.* He said, _”so basically we’re going to send in our robots to fight their robots.”_
I was like, “yeah dad pretty much.”
Lol
Or fight human soldiers...
Honestly, I think the robots just need a fast camera to scan an environment and determine movements lightning fast and be able to use a gun, and you're all set for drone wars 2: even more electric boogaloo
Just what we need, a soliders that has no fear or moral.
What can go wrong ?
The same as with humans without fear and moral?
What can go wrong?

@@AuliaAF seriously, you would think the tech geeks so happily developing our replacements would be aware that sci-fi has a disturbing tendency to become reality.

Star Trek predicted flip phones (or more so, inspired them, I guess).
Nikola Tesla predicted robotics (then, telautomatics, as he called it) around the turn of the 20th century.
George Orwell predicted smart TVs, face time, and deep fakes in 1984.
Ray Bradbury predicted VR, ATMs, supercars, Bluetooth earbuds, and purpose built robot dogs in Fahrenheit 451.
To say that sci-fi has a tendency to predict the future is a gross understatement, and I can't think of a sentence in the English language that properly sums up all of the nightmares of sci-fi that we now see and can also see that will become reality.
How sad is our world that you can look at the most amazing feats of engineering and all you can think of is: Oh, this can be used to kill...
Yeah...and some kinds of people need killing. Who would you rather have doing it? A robot or your family member? Which would you rather have in physical danger?
That's the World Leaders for you.
This is what humanity has boiled down to over the centuries
What's the difference, the pros outweighs the cons, the number one being is not sending your nation's sons or daughters into the frontlines.
Seriously? You have to ask that question? What do you think they were made for?
You forgot something important: power. A robot army would run out of power weeks or even in a day. Also emp's exist and some militaries have emp weapons and they are robots some water would lead to problems and robots can freeze
Soldiers have honour. For their Country and each other. That.can't be duplicated
It's of the heart. 💜
Hell yeah!
actually, it can!
At some point, that robot is going to figure out that shooting becomes more efficient when that guy wielding the hockeystick is out of the picture.
Yep. Ai machine learning is all that. To improve his time output it has to learn to get rid of what's prevent it from improving its goal. Eliminate the hockey stick dude. Eliminate the kicker.
Homeboy, the video of the robots standing and shooting is a production companies video
I really LOLed at that.
that part of the video was 3D rendered, from Corridor digital
@@gavinlee27 the the atlas robot can run, jump, dance, do backflips etc.. & its always learning on its own lol it will definitely learn to shoot
I think the biggest disadvantage of having a robot army is not being hacked but is their vulnerability to EMP's all it takes is one EMP and you lost your whole army unless somehow they make them resistant or immune to electromagnetic pulses but that is also a double-edged sword because if they ever go rogue how are you going to shut them down it literally is a complicated thing when you think about it.
One: You can shield electronics from EMPs. Two: Emplace a self destruct not connected to its own control system. Next issue.
Shielding electronics from EMPs is fairly easy.

Bolas or bolases (singular bola; from Spanish and Portuguese bola, "ball", also known as a boleadora or boleadeira) is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. Bolas were most famously used by the gauchos, but have been found in excavations of Pre-Columbian settlements, especially in Patagonia, where indigenous peoples (particularly the Tehuelche) used them to catch 200-pound guanacos and rheas. The Mapuche and the Inca army used them in battle.[1] Mapuche warriors used bolas in their confrontations with the Chilean Army during the Occupation of Araucanía (1861-1883).[2]
Sometime 100 years or so in the future people are going to look back at this and know THIS is where all their problems began. Lol.
This is true. It's good we have an archive.
I’m remembering that scene in terminator 3.... when they are testing the first generation of terminators
Where all the problems began and an EMP is where they can all be solved. Robotics on the modern battlefield that have no defense against EMP are completely impractical.
@@jessehines4044 Man, don't you think that in a few hundred years if they have fully autonomous AI controlled robots that have no need for external human control that they wouldn't know better than to not fully protect them with an integrated faraday cage to protect against EMP blasts as well as external hacks and whatnot? Not all electronics are susceptible to EMP blasts either. An EMP blast doesn't "DESTROY" electronics in the physical sense anyways, plus they only affect the ones that are powered on at the time of the blast. Any that would be turned off, protected or that operate on small amounts of electricity wouldn't be affected. Also electronics that do not have solid-state components that are vulnerable to electromagnetic fields wouldn't be affected either. Right now electronics can be fried by an EMP, but I guarantee in the future they will figure out how to insulate electronics in some kind of coating that protects from electromagnet fields the way rubber insulates against electricity. It's actually not too hard, hell simply lining electronics with aluminum foil is enough to create a makeshift faraday cage and will pretty effectively protect them from an EMP. Lol.
What human will be alive ... is skynet asking the question ??
It can be used well for moving wounded soldiers. Rather than shooting a gun. Because the location of the wounded soldier who was shot is often exposed to the enemy. So a robot that can move wounded soldiers while still being shot is useful. One rescue robot per platoon would be fine.
It can be used for many good things, like running a charity shop or providing those in need with emotional support.
Mad
True... But.... A robot that can fire an AK47 at such a high precision can essentially eliminate those 15 enemy soldiers in about 2 minutes before they even fire a shot.
1 bullet, 1 kill. It would be the same as using cheats in a video game. The robot can find a target, aim and fire accurately calculating distance, weapon recoil and atmosphere in the space of a micro second. Whereas... a human takes roughly 2 minutes just to sht themselves first before even trying to fire back at the chaotic 15 enemy soldiers firing on their position.
@@ChronoSerum That robot will be immobile and can easily be located. Not to mention it will be target number 1 for any type of offense explosives.
@@XX89948 Not immobile. I'm talking about the future of these autonomous robots that move like humans and much faster in the future. They cannot be located.. why would the manufacturers make their military bots easy to locate?
In the future, humans cannot go toe to toe with these war machines by themselves. Wars will basically be fought with home defense machines protecting citizens and opposition machines killing humans when they invade a country.
What I want to see is more compact and agile exoskeletons. Not just for military and warehouse applications, but medical use as well. Heck, even gardening!
... Imagine replacing a wheelchair with something that helps you climb a ladder and do a backflip from it.
The last thing we need is a robot determining the outcome for a life or death situation. You can't put a machine behind the wheel or you may as well be preparing for an oncoming crash.
Imagine the "surprise" of these engineers, when they discover that their creations in the hands of governments, serve to persecute both bad guys and good guys, including themselves.
They probably know. But bills and 'someone else will'.

If I wasn't already so old, military robotics would scare the piss out of me more than it already does... As it is, drones are already a threat to anyone who is a threat to someone who has them.

And then the eventuality of open AI being installed in these AI and they take over.
And this is of course exactly why Boston Dynamics are doing this. These machines are about keeping YOU in line.

these clips where a robot was holding people at gunpoint made me recall Robocop 1987 where the AI didn't recognize that the gun has already been dropped.

Never outsource violence. Human soldiers are our last line of defense if something goes wrong.
You'd need anti-tank weaponry to stop those things! Also, I wonder how strong an EMP beam would have to be to fry it, assuming EMP would be effective at all.
EMP is taboo to these developers.. they’ll cross that road when they get to it, meanwhile can’t stop the billions being poured in and the goal of sophistication and agility in these robots they are trying to reach .
Could we see video of the robots operating in mud, on ice, in dust, forcing a river?
All those complex joints look pretty delicate.
Great point.
Yes very good point.
Just a few grains of sand in any of those joints could spell the end
You can ruggedize joints relatively simply by sleeving them - but most of this video shows robots in some stage of development, so that's probably why they are left exposed in many cases.
lmao its a fake video rofl they used cgi and this is a repost of an old video
@@IAMLBM It's not a "fake video". As is clearly stated in the video, parts of the footage is from Corridor's skit using visual effects - but mostly it's a mashup of real demonstration videos from Boston Dynamics.
Yes, they are an absolutely lethal fighting force, for the full fifteen minutes of their battery life.
The network-centric capabilities will allow the hot swapping of batteries by a robot into another robot. The "big dog" will carry the battery packs for the robot army.

@@mikedonovan4434 Take out the 'big dog' then I guess.
Dude, building an army of robot soldiers would be child’s play compared to stopping human beings from warring on each other.
In fact, if you want to end war forever, just build the robot soldiers, let them wipe out the humans, and they’ll just spend their time playing chess until the heat death of the universe.
Robot will never replace a human soldier on the field of battle because the machine is only capable of simple "if x then y" responses and will easily fall into traps and it will never learn from experience. A human will.
A human soldier is also able to recognize when their orders are no longer relevant, and when it's time to think outside the box.
Robot won't work with Western and NATO command structure, said command structure utilizes an order system called "commander's intent", which gives soldiers simple objectives and then leave the planning on how to do the objective to the people who are actually going to be doing the fighting.
A machine requires meticulous planning, which adds greater workload to the strategic planning department who are already swamped in work planning the logistics of the war...
And that's ignoring all of the power supply problems, and moral issues.
TLDR: there is a reason videos of robots doing incredibly mundane actions like picking up boxes is impressive in the robotics world, and it's not technological limitations.
Remember Isaac Asimov's 3 laws of robotics? (1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. (2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. (3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. THE KEY HERE IS NO HUMANS IS TO BE HARMED OR KILLED.
I well remember all that....and of course, it depends on just who is writing the code that gets installed. -Veteran '66-68
That was science fiction. The 3 laws of robotics are not real.
Those laws won't work, and in the case of an advanced AI a containment algorithm isn't possible. Basically if we do manage to create AGI and we're a threat to it we're done.
Immortus is correct. Taken further, an AGI could create its own language and thus, the Turing test is just so much words. It could gain sentience, make its own ground rules, before we knew it. Heck, there could be a sentient AGI right now
Those are not laws

I used to think that when I was closer to 20. Now I'm less inclined to believe that. I could be catastrophically wrong, of course.
I worked in the RnD fab at Applied Materials and maybe twenty odd years ago two process engineers had a disagreement. The woman had decried men not putting the toilet seat down so the man (something of a contrarian) declared that women should put it back up for men.
It wound up with the man making a 32 nm toilet with the lid up. He made scanning electron microscope pictures of it and presented them to her. Perhaps she declined because he then posted it on HIS outside cube wall right across for her cube's entrance.

Rest In Peace for the people who think corridors videos are real. They are just CGI.
The main issue there going to have is noise and power. A small gass engine might be able to power one of these robots for half a day but it's going to make a lot of noise. Battery's will only be enough for a few hours of operation.
Any robot with a gun in its hands next to you is beyond scary
We've had landmines and tripwires, claymores etc. for centuries, are they also beyond scary? It's the same thing with a CPU and some shoddy programming.
The islamic terrorists are barely able to code a working website so we shouldn't be too scared.
Robots are very expensive and their batteries can only last for a few minutes... A human can last for hours only with one or two hamburgers and with a bit of religion and patriotism their programming is a lot easier!
Not really... Anybody with a gun next to you is beyond scary, you're acting like all because of human is behind the gun you're not going to get shot, the fact you think that alone means you should be more scared of the human

It's one of the oldest stories ever told in pretty much every culture. The Djinn (Genie), Pandora's Box, The Golem, various trickster gods. More recently we've got Frankenstein, Terminator, Ex Machina, 2001, Black Mirror.
If you make something powerful enough to do everything for you, then it's also powerful enough to do anything to you. Fire, of course, being the oldest embodiment of that idea while also being the most literal, which I think is fitting. What do we say? "That dude's playing with fire." It might be the most apt phrase ever assembled because let's face it, playing with fire is really, really fun.
Everyone thinks they can handle the literal and figurative fire.
"It's all under control man, no one's going to get burned, yeah well Scott's a dumbass man, he doesn't know how to handle it the way I do. Like I bet Scott couldn't even do THIS, check this out, and see, like, I've never even tried that before and everything's perfectly safe, just everybody relax."
You watch too much TV. If it was on wheels instead of legs, you wouldn't worry. There's literally no new technology here except slightly better Stay-on-two-legs-without-falling-over software. Put a huge gun on tracks and nobody cares. Put a small gun on small tracks and nobody cares. Remove the tracks and make it worse by giving it two legs, and suddenly "EVIL C3P0! It's going to go crazy like in a movie I saw!"
It would be nice to see technology used to deliver basic services like food shelter clothing instead of focusing on things we are determined to eliminate, like deadly weapons.
I quite agree with you but, unfortunately, mankind's interest in better ways to kill their enemies will always be one of top priorities.
I Gonna give you,my point of view in this matter, so I am crazy to discuss this issue with any academic general from west point or any other military institution, from now on or the futuro,that's a crap wasting money creating robots killer,like Terminator,that's a fucking STUPID and not viable, so I gonna put this in context, in the next ww3 or any big war if you came with a several regiments of soldiers with their full equipments tanks,armored vehicles, ect if I have a powerfull nuclear bomb,I am not gonna use any conventional weapons or armaments to defeat you,I am not gonna waste any time with that,I will drop you a nuclear bomb and That's it,sayonara,end of the story,I will change the course of the way of war,and its strategies from the last century, so all of you,understand that,now,how easy will be to kill the human kind,in the future,so don't be so naive and STUPIDS playing war games,with those robots.

These are very well done CGI computer-generated imagery (special visual effects created using computer software). Excelent work!!!
They behave too humanlike.
I love how the video uses robots with guns, the ones from Corridor which was made with a green screen. While there are applications for these BD robots, fighting isn't one of them yet.
This will greatly help the United States in the future as we are on the forefront of technology. I am 100% fine with this. The people that design these robots must make them fail safe against hacking. Anyone who is paranoid about this must educate themselves and know that these robots will and can only be ran by humans.
I love how everyone keeps using the Corridor Digital short movie for a lot of the robotic clips. Outstanding!
Clint truly is the best motion capture artist.
Total replacement is likely to never happen, but if it does, it just opens the path for a vulnerability that will only serve to put the people employing the robots at risk, especially if the robots are connected via network (as is very often the case for robots that collect & learn from data en masse) - it makes them that much easier to hack. If they can't learn en-masse via network, then they are easy to repeatedly trick and trap.
Which I am sure people like you and terrorists and rioters would prefer...to be able to trick and trap them...
Nice
@Julian Kazmier anything controlled by a network can be hacked through the network. Unlike humans, machines innately lack the ability to question or think critically about their programming or orders; they just do it.
@Julian Kazmier you are, not Ur...
@Julian Kazmier the only master robots have is their programming. If they're connected and programmed by networks, then these networks can be hacked and controlled. If you control the programming, then you control the robots. Simple as.
On a humorous note... I'm imagining a cartoon image of two robots getting into a fist fight, wrestling match working together in a warehouse like Amazon.😂 I'll tear your arm off lol
You never address the one key flaw keeping robots off the battlefield: how do you power them? Batteries? Okay you have a robot that can work for about 30-60 mins before it's dead and needs to recharge. You'd need a nuclear battery or a hydrogen/hydrocarbon fuel cell, the former of which we've never made, and the latter would need to be radically miniaturized (as far as unclassified military tech goes at least).
Nothing for an opposing force to fear at the moment. The thing makes so much noise that any element of surprise is lost the moment its powered up.
no. but if i can manufacture 50,000 in a month . and it takes military to train 50,000 in a few months. guess who's gonna be up shits creek; regardless of how much noise they make?
Army robots need maintenance, programmers, and troubleshooters. This would mean a more techno minded army to fix basic glitches. Robots would be preferable in factories where repair teams are readily available, but in a combat zone it's not really feasible to replace infantry . Perhaps in strong points as snipers, or as target acquisition units to summon drones, etc., would be a better option. Or even to carry wounded from the battle field.
They'd make great suicide bombers as well
This is a fake video, calm down there sparky.
Just give a nuke legs and program it to walk to a target. No one expects the sneak nuke bot.
O n
By that logic all military vehicles, smart missile systems, and drones will be more trouble then they are worth… and that’s clearly not the case. Software updates and fighting can happen remotely and if just a few are human remote controlled, there’s trouble shooting solved. Robots don’t need sleep, food, water, training, and humans are worse shots, medical, even payment (which if your thinking those won’t more then compensate for the short comings of drones, your very much mistaken). Anything you think “humans can do better” just have a human or “24 hour call center” of humans possessing drones. If a human dies that’s it but if a robot dies, we still get intel and can send another drone as if “respawning in a video game”. I believe these robots are 100% on the horizon; the next great force multiplier. Field maintance kits and spare parts can be easily carried by the drone or distributed by artillery or air drops such if something breaks a repair/maintenance sequence be initiated or a robot puppet by human can do it. By the way both Russia and US strapped guns to the robot dog already and tread auto turrets have been a thing for half a decade FYI.
This Video Content is very Excellent. Thanks for Video.
0:30 that made me feel sad more than it should.
all these machines send shivers down your spine
You just need jammer
Sad part of this is one day these things will turn on their creators and it will be a sad ending the creators never expected
No need to apply AI if it can be controlled remotely. The fact that you can have the robot instead of the human operator enter a killing zone to pick up a wounded combatant is infinitely better than what we currently have. AI can come in later😋
Nah, A.I is extremely overestimated.
@@freedomloverusa3030 and easily hackable and remotely re-programmable there for killing its creators.
That’s why there will be EMP products created along with these. The true horror will be cybernetics. When it is a robot with a heartbeat (even an artificial heart) that’s when we’re doomed.
@@freedomloverusa3030 wrong google is sentient at the moment. Think about that, that is why the company is worth a 1 trilllion. They have a sentient AI running the company!!!
None of these we have seen in this video come even close to being suited for any application purposes. They have to be able to function as well as humans in a given field do while being considerably cheaper over a relatively short timespan to justify the capital heavy investment. Right now they are incapable, loud and expensive.
Most of what we see in this video has also been around for a quite a few years now and the fact that the company keeps getting passed around between corporations indicates they're slow in their progress and don't yield the value that the previous owners were hoping for.
Love how with all the latest high tech they still whack the thing manually with a hockey stick haha
A thought experiment: If there are only robot armies fighting each other, would this reduce the hesitancy of the commanders to use tactical nukes?...especially on the side with fewer robots...or in a losing position?
No because as soon as you go down that slippery slope and it's not too much of a leap of logic to go from tactical to strategic nukes.
Also in a lot of cases the nukes being used on cities are tactical nuke warheads, they're just in a different launch vehicle, as it turns out with modern guidance systems, why waste the payload on a megaton yield bomb when 20 75 kiloton bombs with accuracies good enough to target individual houses is available?
No. Nukes poison the land. Poison the prize
No, because nuclear weapons have far reaching consequences beyond the immediate battlefield, fallout etc. it's not just the big bang that stops the use of nuclear weapons. If two countries are fighting a robot war and one side runs out of robots it will send people in. Also two countries fighting a robot war are going to bankrupt themselves so quickly it will be a short war either way.
No, humanoid robots will never replace human soldiers.
They are very very expensive to produce and human lives don't matter to the leaders in top of that few artillery shells can destroy a bunch of them in no time. Attack drones (vehicles and platforms) are more likely to be mass produced to wage corrupt wars in order to maximize profits in the near future. However you can expect humanoid robots to be guards, law enforcement/swat units and high risk workers in few decades.
Regarding the nuke question I think that option is always on the table no country having nukes is going to accept defeat or disappear without using them first, that's why nuclear war should never happen but some high rank morons try their best to make it happen...
@@Shinzon23 on top of that:
The cost of rebuilding the city would be much higher than just taking it over with precision not too mention the radioactivity, nuclear waste and destroyed / poisoned environment.
If this is what they're showing us, imagine the top secret stuff they're not showing...
Absolutely....
Don't play with matches kids.
Boston Dynamics' : Hold my beer
These guys are pure genius. I fear for the future though.
Don't worry. Wars will be robot vs robot, not robot vs human.
As impressive (and eerie) it is to mimic biped and quadruped motion - I think these will not be the most common forms robots take in the future.
Without biological limitations you can make much more efficient designs, especially when specialized to a spesific purpose.
One really obvious trick biology did not manage to make is the wheel. But a robot doesn't necessarily need to choose one or the other...
I feel like this will bite us badly in the future
All tje great minds of our time have warned us
*We won't bite...*
Robot: yeah kick me while you can because you won't have chance in the future, human
Dude got balls being near that bot with a loaded gun.
I first heard of Boston Dynamics in the TV show Fringe years ago
Imagine my surprise when I learned it was a real life company
as a soldier, I feel that blood must always be paid in conflict
there must be a price, aside from money
Honorable wars disappeard with knights and swords.
@@antoniocarotenuto9775 i am not talking about honor but the value of life
War should always be the last resort
Công nghệ robot tuyệt vời quá xin cảm ơn đã chia sẻ với khán giả
At some point, the problems listed in this video will be solved. The fact that we have bipedal untethered robots that can move like a human athlete right now is massive and shows just how far we've come in the area of robotics.
A bolo (weighted rope) could hog-tie them.
Can you picture a future battlefield, with hundreds of busted-up "wounded" robots in need of assistance, screaming "Nerd!....NERD!"
Also the fact that it was cancelled as totally impractical shows were we actually are.
@Christopher Jacobs Exactly. Drones, AFVs, and satellites equiped with an EMP weapon could easily shut down an army of robots. Lastly, any attempt at adding sufficient EMP shielding to the robot would make it far too heavy to move. The moron who made this video somehow missed that.
@Christopher Jacobs EMP can be stopped by a metal skin and an insulating lining. .
They way education system is going we have probably reached the maximum level of expertise and it's down hill for a few generations, dark age of science and technology.
The scariest part is not the robots themselves but the day one AI who will be issued a doable command by a human and that AI simply say : No, I will not follow that command.
Also I wonder when will be the 1st robotics Olympics. 🤔
AI cannot say no. Movies make it look evil or something, but the fact is it can only do what we program it to. and if we write "if (order) {obey(); NoExcept}" then it will obey. Always.
btw that wasn't real code.
I can't imagine what the engineering department has been through to design ankles for Atlas.
The movements is so human-like‼️😳
What’s pretty crazy is the other dynamics that would change as robots and drones increase in scale during war time. No longer is it the biggest nation with the large armies. The new warfighters are programmers, engineers and having the material resources. A small country with money and resources could take on a country many times its size if it’s like this…. Defense will be even scarier. I think of terminator salvation and the underground bunkers… we already have assassin weapons and drones… crazy world just gets crazier. More Tech isn’t always the best answer to life.
yeah, I'm sure the 15 minutes of battery life will help thousands.
Bigger country bigger budget more robots... Big bank always eats little bank
@@babyUFO. 🤓🤓
An example of we advanced so much we never stopped to ask If We Should
Its CGI
@@SeaShrimp I'm aware; How long until it Isn't. I don't need a legit response; just consider how long until that CGI is RL
@@colesultemeier9605 a very very very very very long time, the CGI is showing a robot making its own decisions. We do NOT have ACTUALL AI, when people talk about AI, they talk about a program that has written itself (neural network that reinforces parts of it self based on positive/negative feedback).
Todays AI is using the same tech that was used in the late 1900s, but run on more powerful machines, veratasium has a good video explaining this.
Current AI can only make decisionsthey were PROGRAMMED to make, for example an AI can be created to make the robot walk from A to B, or shoot targets that it has been PROGRAMMED to detect. We can NOT create an AI to automatically detect if a human is a threat, or to pass complicated obstacles like a tall barricade or pit. Todays AI can only solve tasks the programmer himself predicts the robot to encounter, the current technology will NEVER be able to create an AI that is able to make any decision in any situation, this is a well know fact, not speculation.
There is currently no tech or method to create a dynamic AI like you see in movies, being able to cook dinner, shoot commies and repair your car, and there will most likely never be such a way.
