Wednesday Good News
Shake It Down Hmmm, I’m not sure this is so much good news as it is fun news. Or scary news? Seriously, just watch the video. These robots, especially Spot the “dog,” have better dance moves than I ever had even in my college days.
“Boston Dynamics robots can climb rough terrain, help doctors and remind humans to maintain social distance protocols in public parks. We just got reminded the sophisticated robots can learn choreography too.”
Comments have ranged from amazed to one twitter user who said, “Oh, look. Someone taught robots how to dance on our graves. Super.”
OK, that was … gees, I need to look up some adjectives here. Wow, the degree of detail and fine motor (ha) movements was astonishing. That’s some serious effort by both builders and programmers. Thank you, Jayne. And I know it’s all fun and games until Skynet becomes self-aware, but I’ll enjoy it until then.
That was impressive! Thanks for the link, Jayne.
