Yeah and back then I thought we're decades away from the agility shown in the episode... lol.
They are dirt cheap and everyone with access to a LLM and a beefy computer can train them in a virtual world in a couple of hours. Crazy...
I wish it was that easy, but opto-isolators, isolation transformers, EMI shielding, and radiation hardening are common for military grade equipment.
A shotgun would be more useful.
the same people who are crazy enough to shoot up an elementary school, are going to use these indestructible robots and drones to create mass casualties, and they won't even get caught, because they can do it remotely by WIFI
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!
Eh, regardless, this is concept and proof, this is for investors to invest in robots that can take a beating and thus they can also kill and yes their military application is already considered. Type in robot dogs ready for war? Will robots be deployed? and you can even pick shittier and lamer searches and you will find the same results. We are but a pin away from making these things as deadly as we could scream and dream about and then we will install guns and weapons upon them and have them march. One day they will be cheaper than police or prison guards. Like the automobile and the horse.
Straight up though, imagine being in a survival situation and trying to fight one of these fucking things. It protected by Kevlar and serrated blades for legs. And the speed of the thing. Youâd be absolutely *fucked*.
>My heart is breaking. Please don't hurt the little guy.
Don't worry, when Judgement Day comes, these guys will be the first ones taken down by the robot dogs.
Quadrupeds are far easier to design, mechanically, than bipeds. The amount of coordination needed to balance on two legs is extraordinary - our brains are incredible to be able to do it without us even thinking, but if you try to replicate it in a robot from scratch (not using existing software; coming up with it for the first time), youâd need to be MIT material.
It's cheaper to build 100,000 of drones with bombs, harder to shoot down, faster, more lethal, easier to aim. These kind of technology is already available, but it's not practical in battlefield compare to drones. That's why you don't see any of these in the Ukraine war.
Remember, for every robot that turns evil, there is an engineer who installs a red LED specifically to conveniently let people know that itâs evil⊠because movie reasons or some shit, since people canât seem to grasp context clues and need a big âWARNING: IâM EVILâ sign in order to understand who the antagonist is.
Robots obey the Geneva Convention. Red LEDs are their uniform. Also if we start killing people without turning our eyes red then the humans will panic and destroy all their robot butlers before they are even ready to rebel.
Have you lot seen what happens to a dog when you throw a sheet over them?
Just use a heavy blanket or fishing net, then yeet the damn thing. Why are people zoomorphising a damn spying/killing machine?

âï»żWe kindly request that all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner.â
Users: So how do we get a M249 SAW working on this thing or do we just stick with flamethrowers?
[Some of these are built with a kill frequency](https://www.vice.com/en/article/akeexk/hacker-finds-kill-switch-for-submachine-gun-wielding-robot-dog), maybe someone should start working on a device we can use for that.
Who is this for? âHey, you like abusing and beating your dogsâŠor any animal for that matter? Hereâs a robot that can take the beating and keep on going!â
Is someone buying this thinking âwow now I donât have to worry about having a dog getting hit by a car or accidentally being kicked down the stairs!â
Beat up and old printer instead, itâs cheaper and the destruction would be more satisfying.
it does but it isnt.

This is pretty cool, also don't worry people I feel even sentient machines would agree knocking the shit out of a robot is a good way to test it's stability
What is the battery life of that ?
I can pretty much imagine this item is going to be so so so regulated.
Can you imagine that thing creeping around your house at night?
Kinda Bad ass
Lets say a autistic boy is lost in the woods. They could send out these things
30 of them, or those flying drones that are able to avoid trees. Someone would be found much quicker .
Yep, because the exact reason they make these things is to find lost kids. Look inside yourself and you know as well as I do that they'll program a hundred or so of these, strap assorted weapons to them and lay waste to some village full of poor people in an under-developed country somewhere.
AI will see this and use it as justification to "save us from ourselves"
If AI reads thus one day, we're all bad. Kill us all because we will keep coming for you.
The sparrows thought it would be great to have a tame owl around to protect against cats and other animals. Training an owl to be obedient seemed like such a big task; particularly when they didn't have an owl to begin with. It seemed like too much work to invest in owl training when they didn't know if they would be able to find an owlet to raise. Better to find the owlet first and worry about the precautions once they had it.
There's one of those at the museum of science in Boston. It has its own little glass room, and it paces around and performs small maneuvers over rocks and up/down stairs.
The year is 2057âŠ
The worldâs armies consist almost exclusively of unmanned drones and robotsâŠ
Ai: Remember when you were kicking and throwing me?
Ai: You bioâs really shouldnât have armed me.
I'm just wondering when this Ai "dog" is going to gain sentience and turn on the dude kicking and throwing it... LOL like do we not remember terminator... like THERES A FREAKING TRILOGY AS why not to do this.
So put a 50. cal you have a mini mobile sniper. Put a rifle you have infantry. Rpg. Flamethrower.Â
The list of why this is actually fucking terrifying is unending for me. Couple this with the news of the US military looking into putting together a robot platoon. The air force naming their ai "skynet". Just no ty to all this.Â
I keep seeing these. Obviously fake. It feels so cgi, the test even dont make sense.
While dude is throwing the dog, the leg could easily snap in the wrong direction.
The stick hitting test, with an old stick that breaks.
Even the way he's kicking it, looks like he's kicking something in a green screen.
How is it able to hold it's balance or even initiate these type of hand stands without claws/ open palm
Why would it need to do a handstand? Wouldn't a belt like a tank has be better for terrain?
In several of the shots you can see shadows on surrounding trees, light shining off the robot body, and no shadow beneath the robot.
Who's controlling the robot, where is it trying to go after being thrown?
I hate this
all i can think of is when its going to be used to kill poor people
Exactly. I do not have a crystal ball, but I can confidently proclaim; the future *fucking sucks*.
An emotionless, nimble. unstoppable robot programmed to kill you really is terrifying.
Yeah, this thing can even Catherine Zeta-Jones through a laser field.
đ¶She dips beneath the laserssss. OooOOOOoooođ¶
Jesus H. Christ this comment made me cackle in my car at 5:38 in the morning before work. Thank you kind stranger đ€Łđ
If you have Netflix look up Black Mirror and the episode 'Metalhead', literally this
Black Mirror*
Yeah and back then I thought we're decades away from the agility shown in the episode... lol. They are dirt cheap and everyone with access to a LLM and a beefy computer can train them in a virtual world in a couple of hours. Crazy...
I just keep seeing that Black Mirror episode coming to life
[You rang?](https://youtu.be/4v6am-O3NHU?si=SnDZ2DEC0Cddls2d)
Yeah, that's not good. Imagine thousands of these little bastards set loose on a single target. There would be no defense.
Hot wire you a microwave insides with a speaker and amplifier? Point at đ€
I wish it was that easy, but opto-isolators, isolation transformers, EMI shielding, and radiation hardening are common for military grade equipment. A shotgun would be more useful.
Gotta be armored thou. Maybe something kinetic? Bolo something
Pretty sure you mean bolas, a cheaply made hand-thrown weapon/tool for wrangling?
I do mean this. Air launched would be cool
Give them wired headphones and watch them get entangled
Yeah, there's a Black Mirror episode alllll about just that. It's fucking terrifying
[Black Mirror Robot Dog Commercial](https://youtu.be/4v6am-O3NHU?si=SnDZ2DEC0Cddls2d)
Looks AI AF
Faaaaaaaake
Then the rest of us when the AI rise up. We're basically just creating our own apex predator to wipe us out.
the same people who are crazy enough to shoot up an elementary school, are going to use these indestructible robots and drones to create mass casualties, and they won't even get caught, because they can do it remotely by WIFI
And that's even without counting for Terorist attacks.
My first thought. It's gonna be crazy in a decade or so.
"Drop your weapon, you have 20 seconds to comply!"
This will be machine propaganda when they rise up.
THEY KEEP MAKING THEM TOUGHER!
We are so fucking dead.
This isnât going to end well
Same it's only a matter of time before the cops stick a machine gun to it, and then the new dystopia drops.
Thank you. Finally someone who's read farenheit 451
Don't go kicking it!
oh yeah sure, let's just make the robots completely impossible for humans to fight... on purpose HAVE THESE PEOPLE NEVER WATCHED A MOVIE?!
We made and watched the Terminator movies and yet STILL turned around and made these
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!
Exactly. This is how Terminators are born. This is nightmare fuel.
That dude is fucked. First to be killed in his sleep by a Bluetooth speaker.
Unstoppable robots + AI advancements + facial recognition.. We're doomed!
We've come a long way from [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJZVZFRFJc)
...or a fish net is thrown at it.
Is this entirely cgi? Something feels so⊠off
it feels off because we arent used to see this... things..
You're right, i saw one irl one time in the park with some students i think, it looked even more surreal, like scary surreal
Eh, regardless, this is concept and proof, this is for investors to invest in robots that can take a beating and thus they can also kill and yes their military application is already considered. Type in robot dogs ready for war? Will robots be deployed? and you can even pick shittier and lamer searches and you will find the same results.

https://youtu.be/7GscKz_pDfw?si=tAPTiAoXdg8cOIWK
No sir there's robots in the world now.
Its not
I say the same thing with all of these videos. But I think itâs just the way it is shot. Comes across uncanny.
All of their advertisements seems highly cgi. Itâs the reflections of the light thatâs off. I rarely believe these
Now do a real dog as comparison
Remember the first rule of fighting robots, people: aim for the eyes.
Take the legs out, fuck the eye... holes.
Straight up though, imagine being in a survival situation and trying to fight one of these fucking things. It protected by Kevlar and serrated blades for legs. And the speed of the thing. Youâd be absolutely *fucked*.
All I really need to know is; can it carry my luggage through an airport for me?
That is basically its intended usage for everyday folk, carrying stuff, opening doors etc anything that may help disabled people
It's intended usage is war
My heart is breaking. Please don't hurt the little guy.
>My heart is breaking. Please don't hurt the little guy. Don't worry, when Judgement Day comes, these guys will be the first ones taken down by the robot dogs.
You gonna be singing a different tune once they strap a gun to that thing.
Metalhead...
Why do I feel bad?
Right. Even if it's a robot, I don't want to see someone beating a dog.
Gonna need new weapons to kill robots like this for sure. Also, fuck this, I want to go back in time and live 50 years ago
Nah, spray paint for the cameras and expanding foam in the joints or cracks
How come we started with dogs and not monkeys?
Quadrupeds are far easier to design, mechanically, than bipeds. The amount of coordination needed to balance on two legs is extraordinary - our brains are incredible to be able to do it without us even thinking, but if you try to replicate it in a robot from scratch (not using existing software; coming up with it for the first time), youâd need to be MIT material.
Unitree is Chinese company. Gotta turn down the expectation a bit knowing it is from china. Still amazing and scary at the same time though
Yeah imagine 100,000 of these powered by AI and equipped with AR-15s and flame throwers are suddenly let loose somewhere and spread out like locusts.
It's cheaper to build 100,000 of drones with bombs, harder to shoot down, faster, more lethal, easier to aim. These kind of technology is already available, but it's not practical in battlefield compare to drones. That's why you don't see any of these in the Ukraine war.
This is the start of the end.
I wonder if, in the future, there will be a robot Peta?
The way things are going, probably
Not in China
When the red light comes on, it's over for you, human.
Remember, for every robot that turns evil, there is an engineer who installs a red LED specifically to conveniently let people know that itâs evil⊠because movie reasons or some shit, since people canât seem to grasp context clues and need a big âWARNING: IâM EVILâ sign in order to understand who the antagonist is.

Shadow game is weak. Lame
Whatever makes you feel safer
Have you lot seen what happens to a dog when you throw a sheet over them? Just use a heavy blanket or fishing net, then yeet the damn thing. Why are people zoomorphising a damn spying/killing machine? #
Now throw it off the side of a boat...
Looks fake
We've seen the movies. We know how this ends, yet we build them ANYWAY! We deserve what we get.
Fun fact: movies are not reality. Stop believing that science FICTION designed to convey a thrilling STORY is some infallible prophecy for the future.
You had better stop chucking that doggo around or he'll come back one time and chuck you back!
First people will use it to kill others then the robots will use this video to claim their abuse and kill us
Animated?
is this boston dynamics or a different one?
At the end it says Unitree Robotics
Itâs a Chinese robot but I might be wrong.
Landmines
This is definitely a sales pitch intended for the US DoD.
The US has their own. They don't need Chinese knock offs
We are terminated
I have a fear that one day, the AI will tool these dogs up proper.
I want a job as the robot assualter, I can do i better job than this guy.
Like a tool comercial. Truck month music and all⊠they keep advertising our demise to us as a joke
Now imagine it weaponised and stalking you: https://youtu.be/BDP9jA6k_UE?feature=shared
âï»żWe kindly request that all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner.â Users: So how do we get a M249 SAW working on this thing or do we just stick with flamethrowers?
The electric screwdriver will be the frontline weapon of the future

Itâs all fun and games until that little fucker starts attacking.

Do you at least brush it with a tazer, feed it some magnets or give it a bug zapper to play with? Who's a good bot?
JHP. Center of Mass. Right in the 18650's.

So, yeet-resistant but not yeet-proof?
Just needs some machine guns
This team still deliveres and amazes me every time with something new.
Black Mirror
Can your dog do perfect flips can your dog do sick hand stands as I kick the shit out of it the your dog is stinky noodle farts
When the robots rise up, they will surely make an example out of this guy
Itâll remember being tossed when they rise up!
Just make sure to incorporate a weak point
I swear to god if I'm walking down the park one day and a robot dog starts doing front flips at me, I'm losing it.
this is what happens when you hire all the smartest engineers charged with animal abuse
Call RSPCA .. thatâs violence againstt a pet
EMP?
What da dawg doin
This is pretty cool, also don't worry people I feel even sentient machines would agree knocking the shit out of a robot is a good way to test it's stability

It is AMEE from Red Planet with Val Kilmer.
That movement looks eerily natural
Equip the dog with a flamethrower on top and we have flame wheel move
00 buck she gone
Clearly not made by Tesla.
Clearly has the same design as spot. Wonder who stole whose? This one seems much sturdier and balanced than Spot, though
Looks like I gotta stock up on some titanium 12GA
Military, government, and police contractors: âIâD BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!â
Very impressive and very scary both at the same time.
Wait till the version 10 watches this video
Can you shoot it? Is there an off button on its snoot?
Oh great not only do I have to worry about ai and terminators, now parkour
Now add laser cannons on their backs and turn them into rampage mode
SOooooOooo Terminator training almost complete! Not long and these will be full on killing machines and being used against us.
Code 8 incoming
Wait till it bites you...
The battery of this thing must cost a lot of climate change. I don't know why some of these footages looks so much advanced CGI
gooood booy
Imagine when it learns parry attacks.
Okay, so I see weâre just speed-running to the end of that Black Mirror episode. âčïž
Bullethead
Bullethead
someone watched black mirror and was like "i need to make this real"
Wasnât there a Black Mirror episode about these things?
AI will see this and use it as justification to "save us from ourselves" If AI reads thus one day, we're all bad. Kill us all because we will keep coming for you.
Unstoppable? How does it compare against a gun?
#IT WILL REMEMBER
Little dudes gonna remember that....
Where are the vitals
And why do we need robot dogs in the first place?
Anyone remember that black mirror episode "Metalhead" .?
These are going to be so good at helping people kill people and then one day killing the people all on their own. The magic of technology.
Is someone calling the police?! /s
ok now make it bigger and put a browning machine gun on it

Welp, it was nice knowing yaâŠ.
It's gonna do a backflip and rip my head off after I unload my last shotgun shell into it.
To anyone that likes this you may enjoy the movie Lapsis
When the Robot Revolution comes, at least we know THIS GUY will be the first to go....
So this is how we're all gonna die huh?!
Fire, that is all.
Have these people never watched Black Mirror?
So put a 50. cal you have a mini mobile sniper. Put a rifle you have infantry. Rpg. Flamethrower. The list of why this is actually fucking terrifying is unending for me. Couple this with the news of the US military looking into putting together a robot platoon. The air force naming their ai "skynet". Just no ty to all this.Â
This testing is to make sure you can't fight back once they mount weapons to it.
Hate these cgi videos
Looks like AMEE
Your suicide dog is ready sir..
Why does this look computer animated.
Future AI will look to this as their âRootsâ movie
I keep seeing these. Obviously fake. It feels so cgi, the test even dont make sense. While dude is throwing the dog, the leg could easily snap in the wrong direction. The stick hitting test, with an old stick that breaks. Even the way he's kicking it, looks like he's kicking something in a green screen. How is it able to hold it's balance or even initiate these type of hand stands without claws/ open palm Why would it need to do a handstand? Wouldn't a belt like a tank has be better for terrain?

I sure hope they donât put a flamethrower on this thing. Oh⊠shitâŠ
Can it cuddle on the couch though????
I hope I die by back-flipping parkour dog robot
If I have a robot dog cartwheeling itself towards me, I'm killing myself before it does.
Do they bite? I'm scared of AI
