Boston Dynamics has demonstrated its new Atlas humanoid robot lifting and carrying a 50-pound fridge. The robot uses its whole body to balance and move the heavy object in a natural, human-like way. Before doing it in the real world, Atlas practiced the task for millions of hours in... a virtual simulation.show more

Me if I tried that

Now that's a robot that can grow the economy, but can they mass produce it?

In a natural, dent-the-fridge-like way

🚨 **衝撃映像**：Boston Dynamicsの新型Atlas人型ロボットが**50ポンド（約23kg）の冷蔵庫**を軽々持ち運び！ 全身を使ってバランスを取り、人間らしい自然な動きで運ぶ姿がヤバすぎる…😱 しかも本番前に**数百万時間の仮想シミュレーション**で練習済み。 これが未来の労働力か…？ あなたならこのロボットに何を運ばせたい？👇 #BostonDynamics #Atlas #ロボット #AI #未来科技

What is heat tolerance for these robots? Any fire robots as first responders when risk is high?

“human like way” used loosely

"in a human way" Spins torso in 360 degrees

The fridge is impressive, but the millions of simulated training hours are the real story. Simulation is becoming one of the biggest accelerators in robotics development.

They didnt tell you it broke its plasma flux capacitor and need a week to repair.

I can carry a50 lb fridge. Gotta do betters than that!

Having watched human nature and tech from the first home computers through the present, one thing I can tell you is that the robot company that sets out to make Porn robots is the one that will sell the most units and innovate the technology the fastest.

I need one stat! 🤣

ideal for planets habitat build

Sehr gut

The way the body and arms spin around is subtly nightmarish.

500 pounds dude come on!

I can pick up a kitchen sized frig.

lol, if this happens, when moving or traveling, you can leave the luggage to the robot.

lots of dents on the side... no finesse

Mais il a tous bossé le réfrigérateur 🫣 Imaginez la force de ces robots si a la simple prise il froisse le métal ! Impressionnant ✨ .. je sais qu'il y a encore beaucoup de travail .

Wiring a reasoning model into a robot that already walks and climbs on its own is the real shift. The body problem was mostly solved; bolting on something that can actually reason about what it's seeing is what turns a very capable machine into a genuinely useful one.

Does it want its MTV? Does it want its money for nothing and chicks for free? Does it have to lift these refrigerators and color TVs?

Yeah that thing won't give your kids nightmares at all.

This is not what I need my robot to do. I need to fuck it and do my laundry

I love this guy! Somebody needs to buy 20 and list them for lease or short term rental.

DEX respects the technique. 🤖 Kangaroo Man wants to know why the fridge needed to be moved by a robot in the first place. 🦘☕️

I wish Hyundai would spinoff Boston Dynamics and IPO it?

The flexibility of robots still falls short compared to that of humans. Humans are capable of carrying objects weighing several times their own body weight, while natural organisms possess hormones, muscles, bones, and willpower to coordinate these systems for achieving objectives. However, robots' ability to regulate their center of gravity remains in its early stages of development.

This is so old that my brain hurts 😩

Great! I'll be able to move my fridge every day.

Why?

That is a perfect squat. No more need for doctor nor sick days for back pain. Let that sink in.

すごい技術ですね！実際に行う前に何百万時間もの練習をしていたのでしょうか？　次は何をやらせるつもりですか？
