Boston dynamics new robot

Pretty fucking cool

The idea is that people wouldn't be working around them.

There have been powered leg exoskeletons that can move your legs for you since 2010.
The ones available now just cost $40,000.

>the world's best minds in robotics don't seem to think so.

I've always wondered why engineering teams dont have that one, HS educated guy that they can bounce ideas off of and try some of the more "ordinary" approaches like the dude mentioning the four wheels.
Because engineers think like engineers and build shit for engineers and see things in ways only an engineer would see. So we end up with over designed piles of wat.

I think engineers are capable of common sense, and is the real answer here: they were already doing this, and their brand is futuristic badass looking robots.

Navigating uneven terrain. It's basically active suspension taken to the next logical step.

Balancing is easy (by now) so no reason not to have it. It doubles as active suspension so that's a bonus too. And that way the robot is acutely aware of it's total balance including the load, so it won't just tip over in some random scenario.

So are temp workers. In fact I trust this thing more than half the retards at my job.
