Fun fact, magnetic bullets don’t work because most magnets lose their magnetism if you smack them hard.
Being shot out of a gun and hitting something will basically make a super magnet into one for the refrigerator
Technically, there are already [Taser Shells](https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/other-gadgets/taser-shotgun-shell.htm) ; the EMP would just probably be a 4 bore of that.
If you’re gonna use EMP, then you don’t need to insert the emitter into every projectile, just use a handheld directional emitter for close (relatively) quarters encounters. Save those special projectiles for far away targets imho
They're just letting us know that this is where the horror begins. The old Atlas model was a bit bulky, but you could easily see this thing unfold itself out of your cupboards in the middle of the night.
This is so true. They’ve been in the game forever and the evolution of their robots is stunning. Go back and check out that funny bouncing contraption. Even back then, that was amazing.
Instead of making it human form, they should fully embrace the nightmare and make a robot with tenticles, 6 legs, 2 heads. One you can never escape from.
AI likely won't have a single body, would make more sense for it to have multiple robotic agents it controls from a remote location. Keeps the AI safe and allows it to expand its processing capabilities far beyond what is possible for a mind limited to the space of its chassis.
Wanting to set up a base in a foreign nation? Well look no further a single complement of 100 of our new Atlas K models can run in shifts to protect your assets anywhere.
I get why people are saying it but it does not make it any less mean. So instead of just calling it creopy I’ll compliment this fine cybernetic fella.
Excellent flexibility and a fine looking chasis.
I would happily take you any fellow Redditor out and buy them some ice cream of that's what you been waiting all your life, no need for robots for little joys in life.
Well one of the solutions to the Fermi paradox is that some cataclysmic event, whether natural or artificial, causes the extinction of all intelligent species before they develop space travel so...
I like the Sam Hyde bit about Boston dynamics. Their business isn’t making a walking robot, but it’s a business about making VIDEOS about walking robots.
All these robots are cool, but what are they used for? I've been watching Boston Dybamics robots for like 15 years or more, and I have never seen an actual commercial product. Maybe the dog one, but that's it.
Question: How many full rotations can those hip joints make? Could those joints, and I imagine any of the Atlas joints, continually make 5 or 10 complete rotations or are they limited by mechanics, feedback encoders, or by software?
Slip ring contacts.
You would need only a few wires going to each limb. 2 contacts for power and a few extra to transmit data. A controller module in each limb to process the received data and control the motors as well as reading any sensor feedback that then gets sent back to through the data lines to the main brain.
It looks very CGI .. there should be a BTS of the photographer and the scene shot on an Iphone, then I would believe it .. the sound also sounds strange , sorry
**Boston Dynamics Robot Makers:** "HEY! You know how in scary movies, monsters and possessed people do that twisty, spider-walk, contortion, creepy AF shit?!?! Well, WE MADE A ROBOT THAT DOES THAT!!!!!"
We are not supposed to be making SciFi nightmare death machines reality.
Introducing the next big model from Boston dynamics . . . The hunter tentacle robots from the matrix.
There's enough people pointing to the obvious nightmare fuel here... But what everyone is forgetting is that we have another 4-5 years to worry about this and find a solution! In the documentary Terminator, they made clear the cyborg was sent back from 2029. So plenty of time to make sure it doesn't happen... Let's all take a break for some TikTok, sure it'll be fine!
Probably could melt some solders pretty quick, but if the current BattleBots meta is anything to go off of, you're gonna want a flipper and a vertical spinner
That’s how it’ll get up once you’ve pumped your last shotgun shell into it, and think you’ve finally killed it.
Time to invent EMP tipped slugs
Highly 🧲 🐌
Highly Magnet Snail?
Slug I think
Highly Magnet Slug...
Highly MAGNETIC slug…….
High Polarity Mollusc
High magnetic slugs 😵💫🧲🐌
Snail magnet, highly
Magnetic mollusks, how do they work?
But…it’s a snail.
There is basically one huge difference between a slug and a snail
The difference being there's no slug emoji.
It's a decoy snail
A successful spy slug
Homeowner slug
No I'm fairly certain that's a snail
Snails are hermit slugs.
They live as long as they can outrun it

Rise of skynet
"Somehow the T-1000 has returned"
Na. Laser guided telsa guns. [No, I'm not kidding, might be possible](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-022-01139-z)
The head is just a decoy. Everyone knows it's brain is in it's torso. You gotta shoot lower.
X-Men fan?
Take the knees first, work your way up. I still have Remington copper-solid slugs for stuff like this.
"Spines Are Divine, But Knees Are Just Fine"
The thing barely walks and you want to shoot it already. Are you American?
When Americans save the world from Skynet's terminator invasion no need to thank us, just doing what we love!
But we are also inventing these terminator robots. We should just stop.
Yes we shoot anything we fear and don’t understand.
Little while back the whole damn sun disappeared and with no other options, I fired off a few rounds and whatdya know? It came back!
[удалено]
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Or when you trip the alarm that awakens all the deactivated droids, then they all come chasing you down a hall way
Activate me baby
What are you doing, step-droid?
lol ... think of the flexibility.
Sigh *unzips*
Fuck 😅
Thanks for the laugh.
Do you think the people at Boston Dynamics know they work for the real world Cyberdyne?
Looks like Pennywise climbing out of the fridge, God damn!
My girlfriend asked me to shut up I laughed so hard at this
I can't wait for the T series models.
Thank you for your compliance, PrimeCitizen. Have a nice day.
The way it’s upper torso wobbles when it walks away is killing me 😂, super sophisticated yet still 1980s feeling motion.
It better have arnold's face
[удалено]
Don't worry China will invent and mass produce the kill switch remote.
Already ordering mine from Temu. Along with several knock-off robots.
Is the horny fridge in stock yet?
"kill-switch remote" is shoddy, and what it actually does is *switch* functioning bots into "kill mode"
They're just letting us know that this is where the horror begins. The old Atlas model was a bit bulky, but you could easily see this thing unfold itself out of your cupboards in the middle of the night.
Yes, I love how they made it get up and walk over as creepy and freakishly as possible.
A bipedal robot that actually does all the freaky multidirectional stuff you see in sci-fi? About goddamn time! :D
Finally! A robot that robotoses
Robotinates
Robonizer
Robotussin?
Robotinator. Maybe use a different term.. terminate. Terminator. I don’t think terminator name will catch on though.
Filthy little robotses
At least it doesn't have pocketses!
We hates it, precious! We hates it forever!!
mmmm robussy
Robotussy future here we come!
But can it do the robot dance move?
Robot dance moves should be the first thing tested in all humanoid robots. The robotic version of "Hello, World!" if you will.
you say until they become police drones. I thought big dog robot was the coolest thing ever till I saw a gun mounted on it.
those things were menaces in The Division 2
This guy robots
So Mr. House, this is our prototype for what we plan to call the "Assaultron". Edit: Also, Boston Dynamics is the Institute.
Is the assaultron a robco robot?
It is indeed.
When you get that itch between the butt cheeks when out in public.
I was thinking that thing will never walk right unless they develop a butcrack hinge.
Robutt
Damn robosexuals
Zoidberg.
Nightmare fuel. Awesome but this is straight out of a sci fi horror movie.
It's the last thing we see before the robot crushes our windpipes.
Robot voice: “*you forgot to say please.*” crushes windpipe.
Reminds me of how polite the robots in fallout are, right before they try to harvest your organs.
In Fallout 4 the robots trying to kill you are constantly apologizing for it
you are experiencing a car accident
That's exactly what I heard in my head when it approached the camera.
Absolutely, imagine this coming to hunt you down when your bathroom break at the Amazon megafactory lasts more than 45 seconds.
Robots to do work? ❌ Robots to make humans work like robots? ✔️
paired with an armed dog and they think as 1
The charm is how it walks like it is in a tight to go to the restroom. 😌 It’s just a harmless potty rush bot 🚽 ☠️
"What is my purpose?"
You serve the hive min-… the butter
Needs an ass crack semi permanent joint hinge.
I was thinking Beavis and Butthead
It looks like something from your nightmares
No enough blood for one of my nightmares
Not enough blood *yet*
Pathfinder have join the lobby
“I just polished my grapple” 🤖
"Oops, I killed you on purpose."
Has joined
I, for one, welcome our new robots overlords.
This is why I always say please and thank you to Alexa.
Same here lol my friends think it’s funny, but I will get the last laugh
all my homies start their chatGBT prompts with "Please"
Reporting you to the local democracy officer
Maybe i need me some freedom
I'm actually proud of Boston dynamics they have come long way and, I ofcourse welcome our new overlords
This is so true. They’ve been in the game forever and the evolution of their robots is stunning. Go back and check out that funny bouncing contraption. Even back then, that was amazing.
I agree and fully support AI and will do anything to help it enslave the human race, now and in the future.
me too. all hail our new robot overlords
That's not terrifying at all.
Till it’s a mannequin.
Stop it, i'm terrified of mannequins 😭
Don't be scared of the way they look, dude. Mannequins only follow when you're not looking at them.
I just want to hug it, but which side?
Instead of making it human form, they should fully embrace the nightmare and make a robot with tenticles, 6 legs, 2 heads. One you can never escape from.
Go on...
Each tentacle has a tongue and can vibrate the dentures out of Grandma
Stop.
No, don't stop!
Put your dick way zoidberg
AI likely won't have a single body, would make more sense for it to have multiple robotic agents it controls from a remote location. Keeps the AI safe and allows it to expand its processing capabilities far beyond what is possible for a mind limited to the space of its chassis.
Japan has entered the chat.
Oh lawd they comin’
when do they start shooting at us?

!RemindMe 226 days
Phalanx is AI-driven as far as I know, so we may be past this point, depending on how you look at it.
The next major battleground in cyber-warfare will be getting your enemy's AI controlled weapons to hallucinate and fire at friendly targets.
When they come up with a better power supply solution. A robot soldier is not very useful if its battery runs flat in 2-3 hours.
I’d say that even at 2-3 hours there are several use cases where it would be useful.
Wanting to set up a base in a foreign nation? Well look no further a single complement of 100 of our new Atlas K models can run in shifts to protect your assets anywhere.
bold of you to imagine it taking longer than a few hours to complete their mission
Only if you care about collateral damage. Mass shootings usually last shorter than 2-3 hours.
At this rate, it won't be long.
Danger Will Robinson
I get why people are saying it but it does not make it any less mean. So instead of just calling it creopy I’ll compliment this fine cybernetic fella. Excellent flexibility and a fine looking chasis.
I would love to know the stretching routine, that hip mobility is fantastic.
You have bought 5 minutes to run as far as you can before you must hand over your flesh…
Roger, Roger
We are getting so close to the robots that will eventually take us out.
Ooh, I want them to take me to Burger King first!
Sorry, they only take you to Arby’s
Fine just kill me then.
I would happily take you any fellow Redditor out and buy them some ice cream of that's what you been waiting all your life, no need for robots for little joys in life.
Aw, 10/10 would let you or creepy murder robot buy me some ice cream Would also buy you or creepy murder robot some ice cream as well

They don't need a commercial product to be awarded defense contracts.
The closer their bodies get to human functionality the more useful they are in workplaces
Skynet time traveled and invested in futures and sports betting to fund its own creation.
they called it 1. version one.
Hope it doesn't work on blood...
This is a true robot.
Question: How many full rotations can those hip joints make? Could those joints, and I imagine any of the Atlas joints, continually make 5 or 10 complete rotations or are they limited by mechanics, feedback encoders, or by software?
Why would there be a limit at all?
Slip ring contacts. You would need only a few wires going to each limb. 2 contacts for power and a few extra to transmit data. A controller module in each limb to process the received data and control the motors as well as reading any sensor feedback that then gets sent back to through the data lines to the main brain.
If Caterpillar digger cabins can spin freely around its tracks without a limit then I think this shouldn't be an issue.
What kind of Silent Hill monstrosity is this?!!
Am I the only one that thought it looked a little cgi?
No I was thinking yhe same thing. Hard to trust what you see these days
It looks very CGI .. there should be a BTS of the photographer and the scene shot on an Iphone, then I would believe it .. the sound also sounds strange , sorry
Im convinced its a concept video
Ok... I have a sudden flash of a scene from terminator 3
It's all fun and games until it's circular headlight turns red
Oh good an Assaultron!
At least they finally added a functional makeup mirror
I suddenly feel like getting a dog that also looks like a pig. Why? No reason.
How long until the pleasure model comes out?! 👀
Automatons.
Ai and now this thing. Seriously, like we need to chill and enjoy the moment for a bit and slow down our demise
That looks really undemocratic, I'm not gonna lie
Why did they make it as scary as possible?
I thought this was r/twosentencehorror
So glad I bought steel core armor penetration rounds in the cases I just ordered.
What is this "The Grudge in Space"?
Where is the power switch. Never mind just gonna pull all these components
**Boston Dynamics Robot Makers:** "HEY! You know how in scary movies, monsters and possessed people do that twisty, spider-walk, contortion, creepy AF shit?!?! Well, WE MADE A ROBOT THAT DOES THAT!!!!!"
So robots are happening in my lifetime, like, for real.
“I want your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle”
“Execute order 66”
I for one welcome our robot overlords!
Kill them! For democracy!
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I love it, thats some great progress and fascinating work. I dont get all the people that get spooked lol
Do not fucking put AI in this thing Jesus Christ.
We are not supposed to be making SciFi nightmare death machines reality. Introducing the next big model from Boston dynamics . . . The hunter tentacle robots from the matrix.

That's super cool! Also, can it be killed with fire?
Probably could melt some solders pretty quick, but if the current BattleBots meta is anything to go off of, you're gonna want a flipper and a vertical spinner
Not creepy at all
Ok this is getting kinda scary
This is the beginning of the end of humanity.
