Boston Dynamics' Handle robot is designed for warehouses, using a rear counterweight and suction grippers to efficiently and smoothly move heavy loads.

Interesting design. Absolutely would not want to work around it, it will whiplash knock you out - then try to ship you somewhere.

This is all I can see while it’s steading itself

Robots will replace us much sooner than we think!

Super dumb and inefficient design.

Imagine walking home after a night out with your mates, and you see this thing wheezing down the road. You'd shit your pants. Bloody cyber cryptids.

Does Boston Dynamic have anything that is actually in use in the masses? Seems like the typical gov research project without any actual use. Moving the business to Google almost guarantees it won’t ever come to fruition. If you don't believe me, look at Google’s lWaymo project, which has had to kick into high gear because of Tesla Cybercab.

Looks like design thinking inspiration for this robot taken from some bipedal dinosaurs, like Coelophysis, the tail played a role in locomotion. 3-D gait simulations show that the tail likely balanced the dinosaur's weight and helped regulate its angular momentum while running.

Warehouse workers better watch out. This thing will probably be coming for those types of jobs once they can mass produce them
