I have no doubt that the technology is there yet to make them move like that but it is also sort of established that you use CGI in your promo to iron out things that might worry ""investors"" and normies. For example not one single modern car ad is untouched by computer graphics.
So yeah, could totally be in part CGI but in my opinion to get the footage the way they wanted it to look.

No, that's untouched live footage of the real bostondynamic robots, prob shot from a drone.

Except the obvious that nobody expect to see machines move like the boston dynamic robots that type camera work makes it move just like CGI.
Programed drone fly thru on factories you can see all over youtube has that same CGI feel as well.

It's "real" but only as far as the robots moving around.
It's not really autonomous, it's just playing back mocap data. That's fucking it. It's an irl animation rig.

Sure, there's some smart learning features in there where it has to "learn" how to replicate the mocap data, but that's really just the robot adjusting and shifting its weight to maintain balance since it's using mocap data from a human with a different center of mass/anatomy.
At the end of the day though it's just playing regular old mocap recordings. Nothing more than that. It's as much a "robot" as Chuck-E-Cheese animatronics.

You're right that it's preprogrammed and that they do multiple takes (they have a blooper reel for their other videos) HOWEVER all their robots have some degree of self correction to avoid falling over or bumping into things.
I don't know how good the atlas robots are specifically but they've put out a lot of videos of their dog robot and that one is commercially available so other people have used them and made videos of them.

>some degree of self correction to avoid falling over or bumping into things.
That's what I said. The only thing it's learning is how to apply the mocap data to its own anatomy so it doesn't fall over during it.
At the end of the day though, it's just animation playback irl. Hardly impressive. The fact that it stays upright and stuff is neat, but it's still not any more impressive than a Disney animatronic.

Spot is a joke too.
It's a glorified RC car.
It's neat and expensive, sure, but at the end of the day it's as much of a robot as pic related.

When the day comes that these things become fully autonomous and actually perform tasks and things, then I'll be impressed. Until then they're as much a joke as the retarded comments in their videos how they'll be "dancing on your grave".

very short-sighted opinion. Have you taken notice of all of the research, time, manpower, and cultural pushes being put into Learning/training on networks of input? Do you mean to tell me that these robot manufacturers aren't developing machine learning to integrate into the trained motion capture? Sure, it begins with simple corrections and balances; to 'correct' its linear path. But you have to realize that a convergence is going to happen sooner or later- Without these programmed paths and learning from them, how else would we advance? You really expect robots to pop out of thin air do you? Are you of the belief that one day last century, computers magically became available technology? There were many I am sure just like you who scoffed at the garage programmers; tinkering with boards and simple "on-off" "dumb" state machines that were glorified typewriters. Take a moment to think about your narrow viewpoint- Because you sound moronic. I don't give a fuck whether this is real or not or anything to do with this industry or sector of technology. But you sound like such a moron that I needed to say something

No shit, but it ain't now, and it certainly ain't soon.
Don't get me wrong, it's impressive and all that, and I respect the engineering and research that goes into it. I'm just a little bit cynical about it, since you get hordes of faggots thinking that it IS doing all of this on its own. Like the engineers just pointed it at a parkour course and let it loose to do its own thing.

I've no doubt that one day we will get robots that can do all the things that we'd like them to do, and I understand that this is just a stepping stone to that, but the leagues of people watching these and thinking we're *thiiiiiissssss* close to the proliferation of robots all over is a bit ridiculous. When you look at the big picture of what we want to achieve with them, this is really just a footnote. Yet people think this is a generational leap and we're just on the threshold, and don't realize that at the end of the day, it's just playing back pre-programmed animations.
It's a feat of engineering to be sure, and admittedly I do downplay it quite a bit, but thinking that these things will be prevalent in every day life is as moronic as you claim me to be.

Also since this is an opposing viewpoint on the internet, this is the part where I call you a faggot. Faggot.

They're not conventional at all. Them robots have impressive AI and sensors that already allow them to autonomously navigate unfamiliar environments.
NASA is even looking into send some of them to Mars to explore caves over there in the not so distant future.

It's you who live in a fantasy. We're not talking sentient strong AI, that isn't needed at all to accomplish the tasks involved.

And it's not so much a fantasy as it is a industrial nightmare scenario that we have to deal with within our lifetime.
Soon as we have robots that can navigate obstacles in the real world flawlessly most humans will become completely obsolete as labor.
Machines never tire, never make mistakes, never complain. They always cross their T's and dot their i's.
But the machines don't require any salary for their work and they wont go home and buy any products.
The consumer-base economy will be destroyed by this free labor force and capitalist society as it exist collapses.

Who is to say what comes after. Knowing how greedy and shortsighted we I bet it will be a paradise for the super rich and total dystopia for the rest of us.

You're very confused as to how these thing works. They're running a simulation of traversing the environment before them utilizing moves
they keep on file and they use sensors and cameras to compare the simulation to the actual position in the physical world
any deviation they attempt to correct on the fly.

This is very similar to what's going on in our minds as we move our bodies thru space walking across uneven surface and catching ourselves if we slip.

You couple those algorithms with pathfinding ones and these robots can be told to move from A to B and figure out how to get there on their own as long as
a traversible path exist. They're already running algorithms like that with the fourlegged robot there 'Spot'.

These machines are still a bit clumsy but already ripe for actual real world applications. It doesn't take much to extrapolate what will be possible once
robotic locomotion has been perfected a couple of generations down the line. They don't have to be "smart", machinelearning algorithm can look thru their
cameras and run on hardware in massive supercomputers elsewhere commanding swarms of these things to conduct coordinated efforts.

These things will change the world as we know it as much as the advent of the automobile or the internet did.

Humans will be less and less needed on the battlefield. If you follow defense news Pentagon is talking about a future
where we move away from traditional infantry and carrier battlegroups and the warfare will happen between drone swarms.

In the near future AI must be allowed to make decisions on their own if weapons are to be fired or not because war
against 'near peer adversaries' (Russia/China) will happen at a pace that is faster than human reaction times allow for.

A computer can analyze an image in milliseconds and determine if it's looking at a weapon/threat
and if the correct course of action is to fire a weapon at that threat. When those machines are on the battlefield
humans serve no purpose because you'd eat a bullet to the head the splitsecond you turn a corner with a rifle.
It'd basically be like fighting against someone with an autofire aimbot in a videogame. You'd just waste lives trying.

They're talking about humans as having 'in-the-loop' decision making as we're there to provide guidance if we see the machines
start doing something they shouldn't or redirect their attention elsewhere.

Rather than metalgear it'll be more like generals playing a RTS game where every unit on the battlefield
responds to situations that arise on it's own. In aircombat simulators AI controlled aircraft already
murder human fighterpilots ten times out of ten, they never make a flawed maneuver, they never over G, they turn perfect every time
they fire the millisecond guns are aligned, they never feel panic or fear when they are in danger etc.

It's all very scary stuff.
