6Foot2 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Now that Spot has an arm in addition to legs and cameras, it can do mobile manipulation. It finds and picks up objects (trash), tidies up the living room, opens doors, operates switches and valves, tends the garden, and generally has fun. Motion of the hand, arm and body are automatically coordinated to simplify manipulation tasks and expand the arm's workspace, making its reach essentially unbounded. The behavior shown here was programmed using a new API for mobile manipulation that supports autonomy and user applications, as well as a tablet that lets users do remote operations. 2

Arthur Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 Spot has a new friend. Meet Stretch, a prototype of our new robot designed to automate box moving tasks in warehouses and distribution centers. Stretch’s mobile base allows it to go to where repetitive box lifting is required - unloading trucks, building pallets of boxes and order building. Stretch makes warehouse operations more efficient and safer for workers. Stretch’s technology builds upon our decades of advancements in robotics to create a flexible, easily integrated solution that can be deployed in any warehouse.

TwistedHelixis Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 A few hundred thousand of those with guns and we are all ********
Garacesh Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 4-legged emus anyone? I was getting Jurrasic Park Velociraptor vibes, personally.
Koldov Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 A few hundred thousand of those with guns and we are all ******** ...yes, as a few people have alluded to in this thread... (the Terminator comparison is unavoidable)! Having said that, I've watched a few of these now and there is no doubt in my mind that soon Boston Dynamics will rebrand as Cyberdyne Systems... All those films where robots/AI take over the world and kill/enslave all the people, yet nobody really knows how it all started... It's already happening people! 1
LeMarchand Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 The makers of the Anglo/French War of the Worlds certainly agree they're creepy.
