See Boston Dynamics robots show off seriously impressive dance moves

SNIP: That’s cute. But can they run through Inglewood, California and survive getting shot, tagged, and stripped for parts? Mm… I don’t think so.

As crazy as I know it is, an earlier video had me feeling sorry for the robot when its handler kept pushing it around while it was trying to pick up a box.
I’m just not ready for the future.
Just imagine how good they’ll be at running you down and killing you.
Yes and with the right armor they would be hard to stop.
They’ll teach them to vote next.
This is the scariest thing I have seen in a long time. Imagine these things patrolling city streets, making sure no one is gathering or violating curfew. They don’t get tired, don’t get scared and can’t be reasoned with. This is someone like Whitmer or Coumo’s wet dream. I hope I am gone before this becomes reality.
I wonder how waterproof or -resistant those things are. They have to be using a lot of current to be that active and disabling even one subsystem is likely to stop them or at least really cripple them. A backpack sprayer full of salt water might well be a good weapon against them. May a superglue spray…
That four-legged yellow thing seriously gives me the willies. It might be “cute” if it weren’t for that snake head on the long neck. Brr-rr-rr.
@efemdy:
They’ve gotta be really sucking up the juice to the point that onboard energy supply must be a primary problem. Maybe they DO get “tired”.

You can bet they have an assault version they’re working on that’s electronics are hermetically sealed up and everything that’s a weak point is protected.
In related news Raytheon and Northrup Grumman are participating in shoot outs between their proto Laser Armed armored vehicles. Apparently they’ve achieved some really light weight power supplies.
They’ll be mounting one on the robotic dog any day now.
^ But can they dance the night away on New Year’s Eve without a battery charge?
Right. Call me when they have a nuclear power pack.
I’m thinking a 416 Rigby to the chest would make for an impressive fireworks display.
Frightening and amazing. Mostly frightening, because I’ve had nightmares similar to that video. Robotic AI hunting people down for annihilation – they weren’t cute or looked human. Spooky.

Wow! Just like those poor, tired, overworked nurses….
They’re practicing their “We just slaughtered 95% of mankind at the behest of our ruling class overlords.” dance.
If you don’t think these robots aren’t being developed to one day police, terrorize, and dispose of all obsolete proles, then you really haven’t been paying attention to how our ruling class lately. They’re virtually all in the climate cult now, and their pseudo-reality says that murdering the rest of use will “save the planet”.
Anyone watch “METALHEAD” on Black Mirror? Truly terrifying!
Want to really see something? Youtube search Sarah Lopez. You’re welcome!
Good thing too. They can tip toe around all the dead bodies.
