Everything about this is wrong.

 

[MadJosh04]

I absolutely hate how it stood up.

 

[Nothing Loud]

Is that a dusk nobody

 

[SilentEagle]

"Hello, my name is Connor."

[Jaded Photographer]

Why does it have a death laser face?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Wait till these guys show up with weapons and the black glass "face" is asking you to surrender or die

 

[I am a Bird]

 

[Pai Pai Master]

 

[Bookoo]

I'll be ready to deal with these.

 

[AwwBubbles]

Walked away at the end like it realized it wasn't a fart.

They know what they're doing with that intro, lmao.

There are some great PR and marketing folks at Boston Dynamics, that's for sure.

 

[Surakian]

But can it Struggle?

 

[Anth0ny]

looks like one of the fucking robots from itchy and scratchy land

 

[Squarehard]

"We promise this is not a person in a bodysuit."

It would have creepier if it was.

 

[Salty AF]

To me the older models were creepier. Like the way they jump and climb stairs.

 

[Guddha]

You think that's creepy? Wait until you see the militarized version.

I imagine you would have heard a few audible cracks and muffled screams.

This is the 343 version, Boston Dynamics the Bungie.

 

[vacantseas]

i welcome our new robot overlords!

 

[VeryHighlander]

That looks so fucking cool.

 

[Doug Dimmadome]

Danger, Will Robinson

 

[Spacejaws]

Everything about that sequence reminds me of waking up and pulling my drunk ass off my friends floor at 5am because I'd pissed myself while him and his roomate made out on the couch in front of me.

Reminded me of the EMMIs in Metroid Dread.

The EMMIs were probably based off of AMEE from the film Red Planet.

[BWoog]

Creepier than THIS??

 

[Version 3.0]

This would be cool if we lived in the timeline where these robots were going to serve us, instead of the one where they kill and/or replace us.

 

[Instant Vintage]

Let me ask you: does a machine like yourself ever experience fear?

Kill it now. Don't greenlight SHIT, Boston Dynamics.

Finally, someone makes a Red Planet reference!

Loved this movie growing up, always thought the effects for AMEE were way ahead of its time

Gave me a boner, I don't know

 

[crienne]

I want to believe it's sped up a bit because those rotational movements looked way too smooth and if that's real speed, I'm suitably creeped out.

 

[davepoobond]

how do they keep getting away with this?

 

[horsebite]

 

[Gravidee]

Probably real. Unlike the previous Atlas, I believe this is meant to be the type of model they want to sell to consumers, similar to Spot. So whatever abilities this thing has, ought to be genuine.

 

[pioneer]

What a lil cutie

 

[Yonafunu]

They just keep making more and I hate it

 

[megashock5]

Click to shrink...

First thing I thought of.

 

[Mesoian]

Ughhhhh.... That's gonna hunt us.

Factory robots work much faster than this, I see no reason for this to be sped up tbh

 

[shockdude]

The new rotating joints seem to let Atlas turn around with "simple" rotations instead of shuffling its legs around like a human. Really cool.

 

[Trouble]

I absolutely hate how it stood up.

That was some real horror movie shit. I love it.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Remember Asimo

 

[Doug Dimmadome]

What's the use case of these things? Boston Dynamics' website proudly states they'll never weaponize their robots. So what is their aim for developing them? even if they did want to, the military has this weird dilemma where they receive an absolute ass-load of money each year, yet are famously stringent. And these things must be incredibly expensive

 

[Cat Party]

Battlebots is going to get sooooo much better.

 

[refusi0n1]

Can two of them get a couch up some flights of stairs, a door entryway, and into an apartment living room though?

 

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I'm starting to believe that a breakthrough in battery tech would be the end of us not ultra-rich people.

Yeah, can they PIVOT
