That's more than I can do.

Yeah and to think that Technology has come this far, to have a robot to jump and walk in a fast paste. Now that's what I call incredible

Yes, I've seen this before. It must have highly-advanced gyroscopes inside it!
And computers, of course.

This thing has been around in one form or another for at least a couple of years. Robotics and AI are very advanced in many ways, but things are not always as they seem. I would like to know if they can just turn it loose on an unfamiliar terrain and it will do this, or do they have to meticulously train it to navigate a given area.

The company is Boston Dynamics, who makes Atlas. Awesome vids!

This is an impressive technical achievement but I’ve always questioned the logic of progressing with humanoid and bipedal robots like this. So much effort needs to go in just being able to allow them to move like this there will be limited capacity for actually using it as any kind of working platform. Practical robots already are and will continue to be shaped and designed specifically for the environment they’ll work in. Many are fixed in place or move within a predefined area and others use wheels, tracks or rotors, which are generally much easier to work with. Even if there are situations where walking robots are requires, more than two legs is always going to be the best option.

The only viable use of humanoid robots would be to simulate humans but we’re a long way from that and may never be able to break out of the “uncanny valley” where a simulation is just slightly imperfect enough to be creepy.

Boston, New York? Has New York annexed Massachusetts?

Boston dynamics makes a lot of seriously impressive robots.

I think therefore I am going to say CGI.
