[Ipg-smz] This robot is freaking amazing.

Use them as supervisors. Y’know, a boss that can run, jump, kick ass and lift a couple of tons should get workers’ attention.

Interesting if you imaging them stocking shelves, terrifying if you imagine them coming after you, like the old movie Runaway.

This reminds me of the "concept cars" that Detroit is always bringing out and never making. I want to see them make something that can sell.

Current science fiction writers are so poorly educated.

It's body/space perception and coordination is remarkable. Just yesterday, I was having lunch with three well established science fiction writers who were claiming that it would be a long time before robots would be able to take specific products off shelves in warehouses. I told them the technology already exists. The Parkour Atlas has elements that would be useful for those kind of tasks.

The Boston Dynamics robots are great, but no one has found an application for them. Even Google couldn't. Now they're owned by Softbank.
