Really cool, but I would never let one of these into my home. We've all seen "I, Robot", right? The only way I would even consider having one is if it ran on libre software.

Nice to see a robot that doesn't walk like it has shit its pants. 👍
It was a smart move by Hyundai to buy Boston Dynamics.
This demo compared to Tesla is way more impressive IMO, Tesla is nowhere near this sophistication in their design.
Stop calling your robots Atlas, they'll never be as cool as Atlas from Portal 2
Does it suck dick?
Where is the big bright beautiful tomorrow that we were promised?
For you my friend I believe they brought back the 1/8th inch headphones jack for ya to use.
You could just buy a Polly Pocket for that
Quite impressive, but not necessarily in a positive way. I especially get uneasy with the robot having 360 degree vision, turning its head 180 degrees, walking backwards towards me, and in the process rotating the rest of its body. I do appreciate them not trying to make it look like a human, nor treating it as one. Seeing the renders of groups of these clankers, especially with the knowledge of them being able to share their "intelligence", is frankly horrifying to me.
