    More cool robots from Boston Dynamics



    Not sure why Google sold them.

    At least they aren't abusing the robots in this video.

    Pretty funny scene at the end.

    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    That was rather amusing, the last few seconds of the video.

    Looks like animal pets will soon be a history, since we will have pets which we can tune to our preference!

    I just learned today that a "robot" is actually a traffic light in South Africa.

    There's plenty of places you can't take a car due to the terrain or the laws. Your car also can't follow through the countryside carrying your stuff.

    Always good to see more from them. Our Robot Overlords have never looked so good.
