Wow, Boston Dynamics' robots are looking more and more human by the day!

I love these videos! It's really wholesome to see engineers talking about work they're passionate about

Brilliant! Thanks for the upload. Loving this 'meet' series.

Amazing! I thought their "Jensen" bot that does nVidia presentations was impressive. But Tom is next level... 😁

The humanoid are getting more and more convincing. Great job guys!

I admire your company so much. What you are doing is just incredible and inspiring! We need more of these videos - it's very interesting

I laughed so hard, when I saw Spot playing piano 😂

This is awesome. I'm also a computer science student who wants to work in robotics. You guys inspire me.

Amazing! The new ones pass the Turing test flawlessly!

Nice try boston dynamics, almost had me fooled thinking that was an actual person. It's scary how far they've come

For a split second, I read the title like "Ask a robot..." and terrified how realistic the "robot" in the thumbnail is. I was ready to leave the earth. "Welp, this is it. Time to get the hell out of here."

This is how it works: If you want a company to be successful, you need employees who love what they are doing, and also doing at home just for fun. And also let them (as a company) the free space to try things out and have fun at work!

Hi i am going to do my B-tech in mechatronics.I am really big fan of you guys . My question is what are the essential skills I should learn in my next 4 years of course to get a chance to become Boston dynamics member ? 😄

Thanks for cheering me up this morning with some motivation.

As a software developer it must be really cool to see your code come to life. Everything I do in my day to day seems so arbitrary. This has me thinking I should mess around with some hardware stuff.

Your news is always like news from another world. Thanks...

Damn, didn’t know we are that far … a robot, that talks about how it programs other robots 😮

A couple of questions: 1. Do you use a ROS version. (Robot Operating System) 2. Which battery types do you use? and what is the relationship between charging and operating time? 3. Have you ever thought about operating 2-3 robots in a group / network to ensure better situational awareness? 4. What actuators / motors do you use? (I'm impressed with how accurate and fast these work.)

I truly wish I could have worked a Boston Dynamics. It looks like an Amazing challenge and I Love Robotics.

Very informative. Thank you.

Computer programming sure has come a long way since I started learning it. My first program that I entered via a few punch cards just displayed "Hello World!" and then ended. Ah, the joys of BASIC running on a UNIVAC 1106.

Toms facial expressions are so realistic, we're really living in the future of Robotics

"Awesome work Tom!" Awesome video, thank you for sharing

Can not only Spot detect that something on its way is an obstacle, but also that it can possibly damage it, like a puddle of acid or lava? Is the image recognition limited to obstacles, or can it also recognize objects?

Great video, these guys are Amazing!

Amazing and inspirational. Someday, I'll complete my dream.

Thanks for sharing wonderful river video and useful detailed comments congratulations 👌👌👌

Love how every single comment is just some variation on "Tom's a robot" 😅 I think Tom's lovely

Really master! Thank you!

silly question: could the spots communicate with really long wires like in ww2 in a situation where they can't communicate wirelessly? (e.g. signal jamming, radiation)

Coming sooner than you know it: Spots that network among themselves and are wirelessly linked to master computers that feature deep learning, and advanced AI. And then, put the AI in the Spots at a later point.

We all clicked the notif in like 3 mili seconds lol

this man has a great smile!

Awesome video 👍

Wow, awesome job, I hope one day I Will work there as a software engineer

Cool to meet you Tom. Great video. We need a CHEF robot. Cooking is a science, and a robot can measure 2 teaspoons of cumin powder if the data is fed in correctly, peel and slice ginger, 1 teaspoon of salt (you get the idea) and following the recipe will get the exact consistency and same results every time. A house helper robot can serve the Seniors market and busy families. A photo of cumin powder can be fed in as data and the robot can check the color and texture to add it. Or it could learn to read labels. Or QR Codes that can be stuck on bottles for a faster route.

Boston: Become Human

This is exciting job , I love it

Do you plan on compacting the physical size of Atlas to resemble human proportions? Is there a place for animators, or people working with virtual character animation or motion capture in Boston Dynamics for designing movements, especially to look even more human like? Do you use the technology behind 3D animation like motion capture to help create or train robot motion?

Tom’s tee is everything 🙌🏼 and goodest boi Spot playing a piano? 🥹💓

C++ and Python. Thank you Tom.

Ive recently been wondering the plans Boston dynamics had for the future of ice skating robots

Question: Last month Boston Dynamics AI Institute was launched, can you offer any insight to some of the stages being plotted on that road map? Particularly curious in relation to Atlas

I really like Boston Dynamics!

Great video! Thank you. Question: What is the worst part about working at Boston Dynamics?

대학에서 로봇을 공부중인데 정말 어렵습니다... 이 길이 나의 길이 맞는지 고민이 되지만, 그래도 열심히 해보려고합니다.

You are the best!

Can engineers build their own software based on Spot's API? Does the API provide high-level data, like objects or paths detected, or is it possible to have raw data from the sensors and camera/LiDAR?

"you're walking alone in a desert when you come across a tortoise. you reach down and flip the tortoise over onto it's back..."

If someone has an idea, prototype or a suggestion for a robot is there a site to submit it?

Question: do you form emotional attachments to the robots? I can’t help but feel sad when they fall and proud when they get back up.

Can Atlas receive real-time inputs from a motion capture software?

Apart from unmanned surveillance what other tasks can spot perform?

Unfassbar cooler Job 💪

Tom looks real great job Boston

He's such a nerd and I love it! his smile is cute. Wait, am I in love with a robot??

Inspires and motivates.

We've seen some video of practical applications with Spot and other robots BD creates. Can you you show us the spectrum of jobs that BD robots do? Can we hear more from your customers?

Please more Atlas videos :)

What if you built a lego mind-storms device that spot could interact with and will Boston Dynamics be working on communication between other spots in the future?

This is how you do hiring campaigns

Do you use ROS/ROS2 for your robots?

I love robots!

Hi, I am a regular follower of Boston Dynamics, I got a really heart breaking news from Pro-Robots, that You are going to stop Atlas Project, is it True? Please confirm. I think Atlas is the output of most Advanced research in the field of Humanoid Robotics around the World. Everybody In the world knows Boston Dynamics due to mainly for PETman and Atlas. Everyone in the world has a expection that one day Atlas will 100% Autonomous robot with human level intelligence and skill. So I am very eager to know where the research of Atlas will be continued in the future or not. Please Please Kindly reply 🙏🙏

Has your company ever used your amazing walking robotic technology to help a paralyzed person walk ,or a double leg amputee? Seems like it's not a huge problem to overcome , would love to see that happen

Go Tom!

I'm a CS Student and my dream is to work on a place like this

you guys are cool cheers tom !

1:27 that makeshift monitor height extension though with the book lol.

Great video! Can you interact with Spot by voice, and make it response you back?

Это придало мне отличную мотивацию, спасибо

How is the working structure at boston dynamics? And how are new ideas created and tested?

You did a good job of saying you use software we know and some secret classified.

Hi 😀 i have questions : What are the painful parts about working at Boston Dynamics ? Do you use autonom deep leaning neuronal networks ? What are your goals for the future ? tysm 🥰

Since you don't have stock to buy what do you recommend to invest in your company?

How.

Dear Tom, never mind the number of legs that a working robot needs to have! At 70+ plus years, I need to restore the diminishing power of my muscles to shovel snow and clean the car after each storm. I picture myself looking out from a warm room inside a house and be in control of the robot(s) shoveling snow outside. The robots will come pre-programmed with a menu of different shovel handling strategies, and the ability to not throw snow on the street or on the neighbor's car. Another way to do it is by having the robot(s) duplicate every gesture that I make inside the house. by shoveling warm air, while the robots will be shoveling cold snow. The copier robot(s) will need two arms in addition to legs, wheels, or tracks.

Tom make me a robot that cleans the house. Nobody needs a dog robot.

Computer Engineering FTW!

OneDay 😍❤

Just like Bernard from West World :D

Can you load Spot with an AI, for example gpt3. Did you try it already?

What i have to learn in python for robotics programing ?.. please tell me

터미네이터 언제 나옵니까?

Are there any jobs that work on both hardware and software? What started your interest in robotics?

Wow,They did a good job with Tom he almost looks human.

Spot doesn't sound very convenient especially with the setup. You should just be able to deploy it in your area, set up a gps grid, and allow it to explore the environment with something like a flood fill algorithm and then it would exactly know its environment and how to path find a way around a blocked door for instance. Also i know its an open platform with APIs where the consumer can configure it how they like, i just think its more convenient of a feature instead of spot saying: well now what do i do.

I'm watching a recruitment ad aren't I? It's kinda working! Don't be coy, put an application link in the description

Yaşandi

Do you offer any internships (maybe for the summer of 2023) in terms of things like electrical engineering?

What's the best way to get hired?

What is the base OS on Spot?

Boston team pls consider my question i am studying 12th(in India) i really want to create robots and would love to work in Boston but I can't make up my Mind in which course should I pursue because robotics is an integration of mechanical electronics computer science and more things. I've heard from many people that if u like this then do mechanical if u like that then do etc etc but for me I just want to create robots and i love every part of that, I want to learn everything for it but it seems not practically possible. Pls can u give me any advice

What ThinkPad is that?

What CPU is running Spot?

What chip does spot us? Is it an Arduino or Raspberry pi?

Have c++, some Python some ROS. Remote work opportunities? Between now and November I can learn the basic skills. It’s my dream place to work!

Does Boston dynamics offer internships? I'm a junior in Electrical Engineering, and would be interested to apply!

How do you manage the safety and is spot compliant with European directives and regulations?

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, What are we coming to?
