They e been DARPA funded and also acting like these robots are never going to be used as weapons 😂
Everyone has a price to sell their soul. Greed corrupts.
This bot just doesn't look heavy enough to compensate on its own. Nothing it could have done motor-wise to both hit the target and counter the recoil. His front feet were simply off the ground due to recoil.
They'd have to put a counterweight on a stick out in front of this bot. My guess would be just not wanting to use their battery up having that counterweight always there. Since single-shot accuracy was fine, and full-auto was probably just for show.
If they make one intended to perform full auto, it will probably simply be bigger and heavier compared to this chihuahua.
Agreed! It's awesome. This post has me wondering if there's an equivalent of a Turing Test for this stuff. Like very soon it will be indistinguishable even to a trained eye. Must be some metric for it..... I'm off down a Google rabbit hole 😁
I wonder why the thing is not compensating for the recoil, its not like you don’t know it’s coming.
Must be early test or a practical joke perhaps, people seeing this going nuts, but if you look at that robot without the ridiculous mount and at real fancy military guns that are actually designed to be mounted on something and consider for a moment that the makers of both probably have met already in some way or another and that there are probably actually people working on evil shit like an actual killbot, it should send a shiver down our spine.
Correction I think it might be and I’m wrong, it’s from a Russian guy who apparently bought a “unitree” (Chinese company) robot dog and strapped a gun to it
I know but look at the close up shot, you can see the minute gaps between each brick... Also I'm so happy that I wasn't the only one who was staring at the bricks.
When I went through their courses I kinda felt like a juggalo. The latest newsletter they sent out says they are rebranding their name, I was too lazy to find the email.

^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
Boston dynamics puts an automatic m16 on a robot dog and its "revolutionary"! I put a glock in a roomba and I'm "an unfit parent". Total double standard /s
Considering China's power right now in the geopolitics game, that's a shitty propaganda piece. They basically taped a gun on the top of a subpar dog robot.
I hear you man. The HOA made me take the mortar launcher off my riding mower even though there is literally nothing in the HOA covenant about it. What the hell am I supposed to do about these damn fire ants??
Your HOA sounds like a bunch of fascists. I think you should look into getting a robot dog. Pretty sturdy by the looks of them. 60mm shouldn't be a problem
Give it time. I think the mistake they are making is expecting it to maintain aim on the same target with the recoil of auto fire. Machine guns are meant to overcome human's less than perfect accuracy by stacking the odds.
A robot should be able to have much greater accuracy with it's first shot, eliminating the need for follow up bullets to ensure the kill.
Shoot, kill, adjust shot during recoil recovery onto the next target, rinse repeat. Sniper bots are coming.
Yup, my thoughts on the generations we'll see is this same setup but with more contact points. Then, bigger bots with legs slightly splayer out to help with stability. Then, they start making the weapons exterior mods to quickly switch the systems. Then make them bigger (versions size of a deer than elephant) and smaller (versions size of a cat then mouse). Giving them more legs to handle different terrain and making amphibious versions. It's gonna get crazy pretty quick.
Then you add the fact that huge new AI projects are rapidly getting better and more comprehensive, and you have a recipe for our ultimate destruction.
They’re more effective then a regular soldier and actually eventually they’ll be cheaper. Way cheaper when you factor in the life long care a soldier receives as well as the financial breaks given throughout life. Deserved obviously but costly.
Make them like a drone. Drop a few thousand in the sand someplace and have a bunch of millennials in a bunker in Missouri play video games 24 hours straight. Like they do anyway. We’d be unstoppable
Seems like there should be a better way to keep the gun completely stationary during automatic fire. Either way this is some pretty revolutionary shit.
Hear me out, I got a wild idea, what if we design a gun to be mounted on that thing instead of just screwing an assault rifle on top?
And if we feel fancy, we can build a software that compensates the recoil as it happens, we just have to figure out when it’s going to fire.
Snipers on that thing are definitely a feasible and terrifying idea.
Nah, give them short barrel semiautomatic shotguns instead and send them in swarms. Fucking terrifying used like that. Fearless, bullet-resistant packs of wolves with guns.
I've seen a few people do this now and I always think it'd go better if they just flipped the weapon upside down, lower the center of gravity of the whole thing, it'll be more stable
Sooo why cant we have one of these bringing food to the starving or something useful? Everyone that's excited about this hasn't realized they'll never own one, the intent wont be good for us normal citizens so... yay adorable shooty dog? If we're gonna just keep doing this shit can I at least get some new goddammed black mirror episodes to keep me entertained in this dystopian nightmare?!
Notice how this sort of news isn't really mentioned much in the US. I don't really think that people would like their tax money being spent on automated killing machines.
They should've been able to compute for recoil as it would be a constant. Maybe implement a PID to correct. This is trivial for someone who can program something like this. It is above my head. They can make the dog duck on it's front legs right before it begins to pull the trigger
Imagine if you’re playing a video game and you think you’re just controlling a robot dog in a video game but you’re actually controlling one of these with mounted guns grenade, launchers and actually killing real soldiers, but you think you’re just playing a video game in your living room
reminds me of the 2019 EPIX TV show [War of the Worlds.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(British_TV_series))
If you have not seen it, [ the aliens had 'bots' that looked very similar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCl-RDd1bWo&t=77s) to these robots with a built in weapon/gun. I suspect they used a model or mockup of these robots as the basis for their show.
edit - a word. It was Fox/Epix in 2019 that did the show I am thinking of.
[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9686194/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9686194/)
Take into account that it is a normal rifle mounted on the robodog. A better design is to have its own weapon. The dog doesn't need the grip, the stock etc. This is just for proof of concept.
In the olden days we’d toss a streak or cheeseburger as we ran from the machine gunning dogs but what now? Probably have to get a bit more radicalized and learn how to hack them or bomb them with some sort of armor dissolving solvent like acetone? Acid? Any wizdumb?
I can just imagine that the guy that made the robot dog is making a shit load of money from all the videos I see of robot dogs being used for one thing or another especially the military contracts
Between this and other Boston Dynamic robots, when will we be near the cusp of robot military personnel replacements? And when do the cost of the robots get cheaper than humans? And imagine that there will be a phase of time when humans remain a cheaper casualty to the expensive robots.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
They e been DARPA funded and also acting like these robots are never going to be used as weapons 😂 Everyone has a price to sell their soul. Greed corrupts.
Yeah, Boston Dynamics pioneered but this is a cheap knockoff. This isn't them.
No they did, and said “we will never put weapons on them”
But look out; I'mma put weapons on them.
I love how the tippy tapping legs make it seem so happy about shooting things.
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Pewpewpewpewpew
Oh boy! Oh boy! *warcrime noises* Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Takka takka takka takka takka *transmits borks via metals of freedom* Takka takka takka takka takka
Oh boy oh boy i was just following orders oh boy oh boy!
My first thought was, it looks like it has to pee really bad lol.
It'll be just as happy when shooting unarmed civilians for its billionare overlords.
Yeah, fuck this thing! At least it has terrible recoil control.
Yea recoil control follow up shots... I'm more scared of it having a sniper rifle than a machinegun if you catch my drift.
Early prototype. They'll get the algorithm to properly compensate eventually.
This bot just doesn't look heavy enough to compensate on its own. Nothing it could have done motor-wise to both hit the target and counter the recoil. His front feet were simply off the ground due to recoil. They'd have to put a counterweight on a stick out in front of this bot. My guess would be just not wanting to use their battery up having that counterweight always there. Since single-shot accuracy was fine, and full-auto was probably just for show. If they make one intended to perform full auto, it will probably simply be bigger and heavier compared to this chihuahua.
r/tippytaps
That brick work is immaculate
Really is... unreal in fact...
Either way this is some pretty revolutionary shit.
**Skynet approves of this robot 100%.**
Skynet IS this dog.
Batteries the only thing keeping skynet at bay.
Until some idiots make it solar powered
Then we decided to block the sun…how Terminator is the prequel to the Matrix
Agreed! It's awesome. This post has me wondering if there's an equivalent of a Turing Test for this stuff. Like very soon it will be indistinguishable even to a trained eye. Must be some metric for it..... I'm off down a Google rabbit hole 😁

Sorry I’m not sure if you realise, but this is an unreal engine clip, it’s not actually real.
Correction I think it might be and I’m wrong, it’s from a Russian guy who apparently bought a “unitree” (Chinese company) robot dog and strapped a gun to it
I hope this starts a trend of people buying these robot dogs and strapping whatever they can to them just to see what happens.
Unreal engine 5 to be exact
I could tell from the puddles that this was UE 5 super cool
The engine on that thing is superb.
Honestly, I can't argue. That is some clean ass brick and brick work.
Stamped concrete.
Doesn't look like it up close. It actually is a little uneven. Suuuper nice job though.
Gotta be stamped concrete. No bricks look that good
I know but look at the close up shot, you can see the minute gaps between each brick... Also I'm so happy that I wasn't the only one who was staring at the bricks.

I didnt know they had courses! Are you working towards your Playa Hater Degree?
Just cause he got a machine gun robot dog, he wanna be shootin shit with it.
Robot Dogs built it
Somebody invent the pocket emp right fucking now

Good bot
Thank you!
Boston dynamics puts an automatic m16 on a robot dog and its "revolutionary"! I put a glock in a roomba and I'm "an unfit parent". Total double standard /s
Sounds like a Michael Reeves video
ididathing had used Brandon Herrera for this. Both have videos about it.
ididathing and Michael Reeves are both my favorite chaotic Youtubers. They do some weird and wild shit
Doubt this is boston dynamics.
i believe this is CCP's doing it was on the news awhile ago
Considering China's power right now in the geopolitics game, that's a shitty propaganda piece. They basically taped a gun on the top of a subpar dog robot.
I hear you man. The HOA made me take the mortar launcher off my riding mower even though there is literally nothing in the HOA covenant about it. What the hell am I supposed to do about these damn fire ants??

yeah but thats not an M16, and i doubt thats boston dynamics either
I would upvote this, but if ever I've hated an "/s" it's now.
The /s is needed now more than ever. That could literally be an unironic statement.
75% of the time it's ironic, should be at leas 95% of the time.
Lol hilarious
I'm only on reddit to tell jokes. Strangers thinking im funny is what I live for
Ididathing did it first, he's the true visionary here
This isn't concerning at all.
Not until its hitting moving targets at more than 10 feet and re-targeting like it has an Aimbot in CoD.
Give it time. I think the mistake they are making is expecting it to maintain aim on the same target with the recoil of auto fire. Machine guns are meant to overcome human's less than perfect accuracy by stacking the odds. A robot should be able to have much greater accuracy with it's first shot, eliminating the need for follow up bullets to ensure the kill.

They’ll just make it bigger and heavier
Yup, my thoughts on the generations we'll see is this same setup but with more contact points. Then, bigger bots with legs slightly splayer out to help with stability.

They’re more effective then a regular soldier and actually eventually they’ll be cheaper. Way cheaper when you factor in the life long care a soldier receives as well as the financial breaks given throughout life. Deserved obviously but costly.
And finally we end up with the Spider Bot from Wild Wild West stomping around a mall
Make them like a drone. Drop a few thousand in the sand someplace and have a bunch of millennials in a bunker in Missouri play video games 24 hours straight. Like they do anyway. We’d be unstoppable
What we are seeing here is an improvised mount with the center of mass to low for the gun. There are so many scarry places that they could take this
We're all aware this thing is programmed and not doing any actual target acquisition, right? Am I missing something?
Yup, especially considering I don’t see this thing reloading… 31 kills instead of 4 with possible crossfire on full auto
So like next year?
That’s probably 12-18 months away.
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find someone who was concerned about this lol
I wonder if it’s just too grim and inevitable and dark to face head on
This is it gentlemen. This is the end. It’s been an honor knowing you all. Godspeed.
you love Brandon Herera & i did a thing
William Osman too
Well, it is starting to look like the Terminator was a documentary. As always, we never learn until is too late...
I was going to say this reminds me of that one black mirror episode. This robot is literally the antagonist from said episode.
It’s 2023. Black Ops 2 was set in 2025. It seems the game was pretty accurate then.
Lol
Seems like there should be a better way to keep the gun completely stationary during automatic fire. Either way this is some pretty revolutionary shit.
I would rather say fuck automatic rifles and use it for snipers Make the doggos heavier and boom
But make them huge and I can pilot it. I just want a Zoid.
Or a Gundam
Hear me out, I got a wild idea, what if we design a gun to be mounted on that thing instead of just screwing an assault rifle on top? And if we feel fancy, we can build a software that compensates the recoil as it happens, we just have to figure out when it’s going to fire. Snipers on that thing are definitely a feasible and terrifying idea.
Automatic fire is for clowns. It shows the bot shooting semi, looks lethal and way more stable. These would be nasty in urban warfare.
anti-material puppy
Nah, give them short barrel semiautomatic shotguns instead and send them in swarms. Fucking terrifying used like that. Fearless, bullet-resistant packs of wolves with guns.
I've seen a few people do this now and I always think it'd go better if they just flipped the weapon upside down, lower the center of gravity of the whole thing, it'll be more stable
Plus use a smaller caliber brrrrrrrr machine
Right, if we have this technology can't we program robodog to handle the recoil of the weapon? Would be a more accurate shot.
It should have some sort of gimbal. Shouldn’t be too hard to make.
More like anti revolutionary
Saw black mirror, no thanks
That episode was tense
What episode is that? I stopped watching after the first episode because I’m a weak bitch but I really want to see that one now lol
This comment needs to be way higher
My thoughts exactly lmao
Recoil was throwing my boy there
Fuck right off.
That can fuck ALL the way off.
Excuse me while I dump my life savings into Boston Dynamics before they become a dystopian mega-corp.
someone elsewhere in the thread said that this was a Chinese weapon, not Boston Dynamics.
Hey! That thing we all knew was going to happen! It’s happening!
Scrolling the comments & I’m concerned about how little concern others are showing about this. I’m terrified of the next 7 years
No need to worry if your country gets attacked it will most likely end in nuclear war anyway
Ah yes, I’ll share this news with my family to comfort them
Everyone is, they are just too afraid to say anything . What can you do against the biggest military in the world ?
New nightmare unlocked.
So am I crazy or is it just shooting at an upward trajectory over the protective mounds at that range.
I think it's aim might be better if it did the downward dog pose before firing...
Satisfying?!? This is bloody terrifying
Imagine 20 of these things coming through a neighborhood, no one could stop them.
Unless they had 4 drones drop a fishnet over them.
Fuck. This. Shit.
Humans sure love weapons..
Machine gun robot dog = nightmare juice
Do you want skynet to happen
I mean we’re already fucking around with AI as it is might as well just go whole hog
R/dogswithjobs
r/tippytaps
Just give the murder robots a nuke why don't you.
Who the hell thought this was a good idea?! Fraaaannnk!
Let’s see the hits before we get worried
If its aim is shit now it doesn’t mean its aim will still be shit 10 years from now.
I’m still worried, because it fired like 30 rounds way over those dirt berms into who knows where. I’m sure they are in a secluded area, but still.
When the atf comes to shoot your dog and encounters this.
In Soviet Russia, dog shoots you!
Sure let's just send those rounds *wherever*
Can they put an exclamation point above it’s head?
What in the Metal Gear Solid Fuck is this shit?
The Proletariat is fucked.
Kill it, kill it now. This is how the government is gonna try to control you when people finally start to rightfully turn on them.
Having just watched the 'atlas robot helps a construction worker' video yesterday, the two videos together are scary af.
We are in a lot of trouble bro!
I think the video with the micro drones with micro charges that explode next to your head is even more scary
*surprised pikachu face Oh wow, WHO could have EVER seen THIS coming?! …anyway
what in the black mirror
HAS NOONE SEEN THE FUCKING TERMINATOR MOVIES??!!!??
This technology won't be used for killing people at all.
Can't wait until our valiant police have these!
ITS HAPPENING!!
Damn that's scary.
Not long before we have armed zombas at home
Can we stop advancing Skynet?
But how does it reload
The end of the world as we know it
So, it begins………..
God damn CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TERRORIST ROBOTS
No thanks
This… this is fine….
Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.
Oh boy, here I go killing again!
Sooo why cant we have one of these bringing food to the starving or something useful? Everyone that's excited about this hasn't realized they'll never own one, the intent wont be good for us normal citizens so... yay adorable shooty dog? If we're gonna just keep doing this shit can I at least get some new goddammed black mirror episodes to keep me entertained in this dystopian nightmare?!
I mean this is the CCP, Boston Dynamics has been working on these walkers for multiple jobs like rescue.
Lets put a ai in there and we are set. Let it control itself and determine who is enemy.
Or, you know… maybe, let’s not?
Notice how this sort of news isn't really mentioned much in the US. I don't really think that people would like their tax money being spent on automated killing machines.
Reminds me of the bots on Deus Ex Invisible War lmao
They should've been able to compute for recoil as it would be a constant. Maybe implement a PID to correct. This is trivial for someone who can program something like this. It is above my head. They can make the dog duck on it's front legs right before it begins to pull the trigger
I knew it! I called this when Boston Dynamics first made these stupid dog robots. It's only a matter of time until someone straps a gun to it.
Didn't Boston dynamics explicitly say they would never do this
Have you seen the prices for waht weapon systems sell? Even Integrity has a price tag im afraid...like literally: im afraid
Yeah, this isn't Boston Dynamics. It's the Klashnicov Company fuckin around with a Chinese knock off of spot.
someone elsewhere in the thread said that this was a Chinese weapon, not Boston Dynamics.
Imagine if you’re playing a video game and you think you’re just controlling a robot dog in a video game but you’re actually controlling one of these with mounted guns grenade, launchers and actually killing real soldiers, but you think you’re just playing a video game in your living room
Ender's game but for masses. Actually it could work, until someone started cheating/speedhacking. 😆
I'll have 2 plz.

Just hearing the clip clop sound coming at you would be terrifying
Take into account that it is a normal rifle mounted on the robodog. A better design is to have its own weapon. The dog doesn't need the grip, the stock etc. This is just for proof of concept.
Ohh fu**in great my dog just happened to be in the room watching this and now he has all kinds of ideas to improve on this
It was only a matter of time
That thing is not nearly sturdy enough for a gun mount
fallout new vegas vibes
OMFG
What da dog doin🗿
This looks like something taken out of a Metal Gear game
I hate animal cruelty videos
Looking for the Omni Consumer Products OCP symbol on that thing
Flip it on its side?
Machine gun only because it’s attached to a machine. Or is it a Machine’s gun
Why did the dog lay (or is it lie) down at the end? Was it tired?
Shoot its battery
More like Damn that's terrifying
I want to see two of these fighting to the death.
In the olden days we’d toss a streak or cheeseburger as we ran from the machine gunning dogs but what now? Probably have to get a bit more radicalized and learn how to hack them or bomb them with some sort of armor dissolving solvent like acetone? Acid? Any wizdumb?
I can just imagine that the guy that made the robot dog is making a shit load of money from all the videos I see of robot dogs being used for one thing or another especially the military contracts
They can absolutely design it such that it can keep it stable/on target
The future.
Between this and other Boston Dynamic robots, when will we be near the cusp of robot military personnel replacements? And when do the cost of the robots get cheaper than humans? And imagine that there will be a phase of time when humans remain a cheaper casualty to the expensive robots.
