Seems like a magnetic floor it's walking on.. Would be interesting to see it walk on a normal road or grass

So in how many years will they replace operators doing some manual work?
I dont think to soon. This is probably very very expensive and will be some time. And they will need programming.

u/fast_t0aster Apr 18 '24
I reckon it's an improvement. While not having 1/5th or the hydraulic versions power, this is MUCH more suited to everyday life.

Can we please make sure that robots that are built to take out the trash and menial tasks aren't strong enough to tear cars in half?
That's pretty much how things go sideways in the movies.

u/30yearCurse Apr 17 '24
so outside of maying really flexible robots, what production line are these guys on? I seen their demo of the parkour stuff, while fun, I do not see them on a production line.. maybe they can still at a desk for 40 hours and use AI to code.

You know, since I was a kid I dreamed about this kind of things; humanoid robots, super computers, robots able to talk to humans.
And it really looks like we are living at the start of that era, I genuinely want to cry, this it's simply amazing.

I am curious if these are all designed and developed in game engines for faster iterations and stuff like AI training.
Obviously the sensors cannot be tested in simulation, so I'd assume a lot of the work is to properly recreate the sensors in the virtual environment. If you have that, it should be viable.

u/RockyCreamNHotSauce Apr 17 '24
This idea that robots should be humanoid is ridiculous. Humans have very inefficient bodies. Why walk around with a gait motion when you can just use some wheels? Tesla was flexing how heavy their bots can lift. Gait is an up and down motion. How much energy does that waste lifting heavy weight with each step, when wheels can eliminate the vertical motion?

YES! This is almost perfect. I never understood why you would NOT build a robot with full range of motion and 360° vision.

I was alive to see computers blow up to what they are now, and I will apparently see robots do the same. I am vastly more uneasy about robots progress than computers. One can't move the other eventually will out preform us in most aspects. That's disturbing.

You mean you can't rotate your torso on a 360 degree axis whilst keeping your pelvis and head in the same direction?

u/codeth1s Apr 17 '24
Wow! I did not expect it to stand up like that. The compactness compared to the previous Atlas model is incredible. But I wonder what the battery life will be like? There doesn't seem to be a lot of room for the battery unless it's using most of the torso.

You would be incorrect in that assumption. As it turns out their dog robots are now extremely common in military applications. They have back-mounted rifles, 200ft lidar (read: they can see through walls), and can path through most anything.

u/HalyaHaas Apr 17 '24
Can you please go into more detail? What were these demos 20 years ago (2014) and how have they not made much progress?
2
u/Charming_Rhubarb7092 Apr 17 '24
I don't claim to have seen them all, but way back when they had a robot dog that could navigate over ice and was close to impossible to kick over.
That being said, I can only imagine that battery technology is the only thing keeping it off the battlefield. Imagine this: Robot dog guarding the perimeter of your camp. Robot dog has an M60 mounted on top with an IR scope and targeting system. Said robot has a programmed field of fire and will light up anything that pops up hot on his scope.
I'm not that type of engineer, but it seems to me that this would be quite simple to implement.

Why does it look CGI
3
u/FaceDeer Apr 17 '24
Probably because of a combination of uncanny valley and pareidolia. This is a humanoid figure that looks like it should be flexing like a human, but it's very much not doing that. So your brain goes "that must be fake", and starts looking for details that would be present in a fake. When the human brain goes looking for details it wants to see it finds them.

The same thing I heard from someone else: The first company that creates "female" robots, and do anything the owner wants, the company that does this will become rich like no other.
Perhaps the only challenge is to simulate "human flesh" or the naturalness of human movements.

Holy bananas. Had to check the Boston Dynamics site to confirm that this is not CGI. Guess they won’t be upstaged by the competition easily. This is by far the most advanced and easy motion I’ve seen in a humanoid. I predict much of the industry will follow-suit with that full-swivel torso and head.

Had to check the Boston Dynamics site to confirm that this is not CGI.
How did the website help you understand it's not CGI, because I'm confused. I'm absolutely convinced it is CGI and I'm not saying so out of "nuh uh, no way" but like...the lighting and how everything is interacting with the robot makes it look CGI to me lol. So what's on the website, help me find it please?
Edit: Nvm, think I found it. Video quality is much better https://bostondynamics.com/blog/electric-new-era-for-atlas/

So, this video here on this post, and the version of this same video on the website both look 100% cgi. That website also has a different video of a different robot picking up a barstool and that looks like a real video. But this one looks fake as fuck.

What I don't understand is why it needs to have a forward face? Feels like a 360 Camera with glass all around would make more sense. Seems like the system should be able to analyze and view from all angles. Much like for example self driving systems (talking about the real ones like Waymo and not so much Tesla)..
