Boston Dynamics is putting Spot to work. The company has announced a new leasing program for its Spot robot (formerly SpotMini), which is aimed at construction, entertainment, and other automation-friendly industries. But is the world ready for this semi-autonomous quadruped?

With the new leasing program, there are a lot more of these robots in the world. How would you feel about seeing Spot in real life?
this aged . it definetely did
The beginning of the end.
If I ever raise an army, I want horse sized versions with guns, bladed feet and a meaner looking face
4:43 I did a thing
How much do one of these cost and where can I buy one?
Battlefield Cleanup and Bomb disposal
i think it’d be cool if they coded the concept of a human, they’re tall objects that you must avoid to avoid injury from the joints or smthn
imagine you’re a wounded soldier on the battlefield, and you see this thing walking over to you with medicine
All it needs is a mounted MG
All they need to do is add mechanical organs and bones and some soft fluffy fur and selectable sizes and different breeds
Why aren’t these being developed for people like me who use guide/seeing eye dogs?
Has he ever watched black mirror lol?
Can you run Doom on it?
These could replace cars and we wouldn’t even need roads anymore.
How long for those robots to be ready to be weaponized and deployed to kill people in the Middle East?
I wanna buy this
Had either this or something similar at a construction site in Edinburgh. It mapped out a 3D as-built model of the entire site within a few hours. Crazy to see in action.
Time to leave them all behind
I’ve seen the Black Mirror episode and if that’s what they turn out to be then I’m terrified 😅
Metal gear rising reference
I don’t think that those guys are gonna destroy us, if they can’t think, why would they think in destroying us?
every government: now put a GUN ON IT
“A precision of movement not seen in nature”
Jumping spider has entered the chat.
I want one. How much?
Love it ! ❤️🧡💛 Search and Rescue application ? Explosives removal ? Looked like an actual dog digging in the dirt 😀 ❤️
i kept waiting for the one in the background to jump up and attack the interviewee
We have one of these at the office. Never seen it powered up, but it’s fun to show to visitors and make up silly stories about its wacky adventures
Unironically being used by China
How naive is this guy? “The company said won’t give Spot to bad guys.”. Oh, OK. Now I trust Spot. Nothing but good to see here, folks.
Robot dogs patrolling around private mansions with fence or wall and one-week-lasting batteries …
wouldnt tracks be better
Why are police using Spot to so call fight CRIME??????????
Black Mirror Metalhead vibes
Time to leave them all Behiiiiiiiiiiiiind.
Does it have a head
Put GPT‑4 in spot
In uae, they cost 200_AED
In phillippines, they cost 180_PHP
Does it get stick drift
The CCP stole your tech and made a cheaper version called Go1
Hey isn’t this the pissbot?
I’m waiting to see a dog drone do a mid air roll and a continuous ground roll too.
I haven’t seen any of them do either of those ‘tricks’.
How it costs for commercial
WAIT I WONDER IF YOU COULD LIKE HOOK THEM UP TO CHAT GPT OR SOMETHING THEN ADD TTS TO MAKE SPOT TALK!?!?!?! I NEED TO SEE THIS :O
“Spot, go take this nerve gas canister into that building and pop it“
-Spot precisely moves in, deposits the canister and pierces the lid, turns and elegantly walks out, returning to home location…
“GOOD BOY!“
It starts as a dog then next they have an army of T1000’s
I want one to carry about three hundred pounds of soil or mulch so that I can stop using a wheelbarrow.
So how do they generate money for all those engineers and programmers for researching if it’s not for sale and even if it is it’s outside of what people willing to buy one assuming it’s cost 70k. I think it want the government to scoop it up for premium price but the govt isn’t doing that
Why the hard hat? Looks cheesy…nothing is falling nearby. I see Spot hunting Iranian or Venezuelan militias opposing imperial interventions
