People are freaking out now..

Boston Dynamics Humanoid Atlas now works autonomously on Hyundai's factory in Georgia.

Getting ready for work.

Whoa.

Meet.

That's like out of Bloodborne or some shit.

Atlas, a 5'9", 200 pound AI powered humanoid created by Boston Dynamics. Atlas just pivots on his core. He can move in ways that we can only dream of.

I can't do that.

So why did you design it that way?

There's a couple advantages of being able to continuously rotate joints. So one is that the robot's not really limited in its range of motion.

Atlus was a bulky hydraulic robot that could run and jump.

He's like a droid from fucking Star Wars.

Back then, Atlus relied on algorithms written by engineers. Yeah, he's like a droid from fucking Star Wars. Xbox. Now they're using PlayStation. Look at that.

Damn, look at those legs. is advanced microchips making Atlas smart enough to pull off hard to believe feats autonomously we saw Atlas skip and run with ease

what the fuck he can do the Macarena he could do cartwheels he could can dance. He told us robots today have learned to master moves that until recently were considered a step too far for a machine.

A lot of this has to do with how we're going about programming these robots.

The movement's crazy, I know.

There's more about teaching and demonstrations and machine learning than manual programming.

So this humanoid, this mechanical human, can actually learn?

Yes, and we found that that's actually one of the most effective way to program robots like that.

Give it a gun. We're gonna have robot police officers soon.

So why does he only have three fingers?

Robot hands are an extremely complex engineering problem. And so when we design hands for Atlas, they don't look exactly like human hands. There's a kid in my school that had hands like that. We call them ET. They can switch between different modes, they can act as if they were a hand. I'm being serious. Or this digit can swing around and act more like a thumb. Oh this is it throwing this stuff in the box. These are our new

slaves. Here's what we do, right? We take people and then we turn people into batteries and then the batteries power the robots. Humans as batteries suck, man. Can't we put them on like a treadmill or something, like a human hamster wheel? The guy's slow.

This guy's slow. Okay, well, here's the difference. He doesn't take breaks. He works all day. He doesn't know know what Christmas is. He'll just do the same thing every fucking day forever. People underestimate the difference between a person doing

something versus a robot doing it just indefinitely. You know this if you've ever done botting in a video game, by the way, like you'll farm something like with like an auto clicker or a bot and you'll come in the next day and you'll have like an unfathomable level of resources. I don't think people understand how much of a huge advantage it is to just infinitely

do the exact same task infinitely many times. do the exact same task infinitely many times. So yeah, and also it's probably going to get faster too.
