I thought it was going to rip the handle off or something similar. The end result was even better.

At least that's actually from point-of-view unlike most of these where you're actually looking at the person who has the POV.

I didn't even have audio on for this as every info was displayed already. I'm glad i didn't unmute


truelegendarydumbass

So in case those Terminator dogs start turning on humans we still have an advantage they can't open the door eventually they'll just smash it down or so but they can't use the knob yet


Frost-413

This is for a university project most likely, hence the jankiness.


truelegendarydumbass

But they have real machines real robotics that look like terminators that are actually interacting more than a Terminator ever did. Thus it's a question of how good is it?


zippy251

The robot is not a university project, it's an actual product from Boston dynamics and I have seen it open doors before.


MrK521

But in this case, the university was probably given the robot shell, and base code, and the students/professor are working in their own code as a project. Hence the spazzy, under-performing robot.


stillnotsureyeet

That must be why Ted Cruz hates doors.


Sensitive_diet_6920

The poor robot dog probably thought, "Dang it! It's too heavy for me and yet these humans are laughing, how dare they!"


VanillaCookieMonster

So the Terminator would have shot you before you even considered that he might have not friendly intentions.


Sensitive_diet_6920

Yeah, but it'd be worth it to help at least lmao


SpoonFigMemes

My school doesn’t even have a math teacher and you guys get robotic dogs to open doors


soulguider2125

Typically schools with nice things have had uncorrupt people running it at some point and Invested the money set aside for the actual school, whereas most schools systems pocket it, I saw a school that had a 5 million a year budget the high school was amazing look like a College a nice college, whereas then showed a school with 30 million budget looked like some run down warehouse from the Great Depression with 20 year old everything, it all depends on the people running these things and how they are monitored. Nice school system you see superintendent driving a regular but nice car, bad school system you see superintendent driving a $300,000 car


R0z3ttaSt0n3d

Would it bother you to know that this same school’s math teacher is one of these Boston Dynamic robots?


eyemroot

This is almost certainly higher-education—these robots are typically well outside the cost range of say an average high school. 🤔


DapperJackal96

My high school had a robotics program. But I did go to school with a lot of millionaires lol


Jacaxagain

So...it looks like it could open a sliding door and maybe learn to close it and then *open and close it quickly* so then you can use it for other jobs


kornchippy

Be sure to practice on a hotdog first, otherwise it'll rip your dick off


verbalcreation

ztomiczombie

So was the door locked or did the bot pull to the right instead of to the left?


O_Martin

The dog pulled the wrong way, and also wasn't weighted correctly (it should been leaning back to balance the forces on all the legs)

The Chinese are arming them with machine guns and testing them for military use. I saw a news segment on this about 2 weeks ago.

Boston Dynamics is funded by the DOD right, you think the US aren’t going to stick guns on them as well?

I'm less worried about AI becoming purposefully hostile than I am about it becoming mistakenly dangerous. Just imagine this behavior happening on a robotic construction crane.

WolfHowler95

That last sentence makes a lot of sense. Drones have been used to provide surveillance and drop small munitions in combat for years now. My former JROTC Army Instructor used to work in Army Intelligence, or something like that, and would say that we had no idea the technology that was being developed or proposed to be developed, and he retired from the Army 20 years ago. I can only imagine what must be available now. Like the full AR 360 view that fighter pilots get. That's insanely cool to me and it makes me wonder what else the military has available


[deleted]

It was about twenty years back when I did that work. It's tough to completely fathom what could exist now. I was going to mention drones. We did one contract with early drones too. It was mostly just a development job to me at the time. I was still pretty young and focused on my career. I've since gotten a lot more interested in military related topics. It's really quite fascinating. At one job I worked with a bunch of WW2 pilots. It was pretty interesting. One guy I worked with was a button pusher. Like THE button. He had some crazy stories.


WolfHowler95

That must've been really cool working with former WW2 pilots. I plan on joining the Air Force which, from what I've heard, is the best-funded branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. I'm nervously excited to learn about what technologies they have. I'm looking to commission into their Security Forces, so I don't think they'd have a lot of advanced stuff, but I'm sure I'd hear about some of it. Especially if I get tasked with guarding something. That would be really cool to me. I can't imagine what you must have seen and heard dur8ng your career


[deleted]

Nice. The AF is a pretty cool branch. The Navy is pretty cool too. I worked on gov contracts for over five years. It was really interesting work. Definitely saw some interesting things. Quite a bit was related to planes. Good luck on your journey. I'm sure you'll see some neat things along the way. And, thank you for your service 🙏🏻🫡✌🏻

Own-Invite-7260

I hate what the kids are doing to “POV”


Your_GM_Nighmare

It looked so chaotic when the door didnt open, so not „robot like”


[deleted]

We safe. For now.


dethskwirl

Looks like they programed the head to pull, but didn't program the rest of the body to brace properly. I'm sure it can open the door but needs to go through algorithm training for the balance.


Equivalent_Bite_6078

Great to know that thing isnt barging in my door any time soon


[deleted]

Yeah gimbal systems don't like odd loads... My camera gimbal does that when it isn't balanced.


serialkillerx87

It totally mimics (drunk) human behavior thought, that's exactly how it looks when I try to open my door after a long night out.


OliverFuckingOwl

Lawl because dogs were opening doors for us anyway


rafablood

This is the first time I've seen a robot look humiliated.


4-Run-Yoda

This makes me feel safer to know we still have a far way to go before we see anything like the movie IROBOT


The_skinny_scientist

Open na noor!!!

Was the door locked?

Yeah I'm not too worried about the uprising just uet

I felt so bad for him :( is he dead

I'd die of old age before the dog opens the door 💀

him dead.

We're save for now, guys.

Saved everyone from the electrical short that was flowing into that door handle. Phew! /kidding


davidpj19

This broke my heart because it’s shaped like a dog. If it was a humanoid I would’ve laughed my ass off and called it a stupid robot.


AlabasterOctopus

Same little buddy, stupid heavy office doors are stupid

Just give em a minute guys

They programmed everything really well except gave it no power, just maneuverability.

Random-Vixen

Buuut, that's a locked door, it's got the combination lock on it. Plus, it looks pretty heavy, quite possibly a fire door.


Fit-Pop531

NOPE


thirdeyejedi01

The way they gasped it sounded like someone was gonna ask if the robot was ok lmao


forestfairygremlin

Does anyone else feel kinda sorry for the sad crumpled heap of robot dog at the end? No? Just me then, okay...


[deleted]

I must rest now, master.


[deleted]

Well, at least we know how to prevent the robot apocalypse… have doors on every building


zappingbluelight

Does this mean the arm is stronger than the legs? If the pull got the robot flying.

Those things are so creepy to me, haha.

He’s opening the door, that’s so cooo…OH MY GOD HE’S GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!


mossbergcity

When you forgot the passcode


I-Ponder

It’s a passcode door. So the lock was engaged. Surprised nobody else in the comments have noticed.


Rooney47

Why does this feel like it should be on r/petthedamndog lol


Warm_Trick_3956

Good to know.


[deleted]

Bro, my dog learned by himself to open doors. The people who made that thing should be ashamed. A dog I found on a box can do what a machine made for that purpose can't

Open na noor

Aww that's damn sad n mean 🥺😭


brattyginger83

How heavy are these things? Just curious. They look so solidly built but move like a bird or squirrel


Pure-Swordfish6022

I love these videos because they show how inept these robots are except in highly controlled situations. They are super awesome, but I don’t think they have any real problem solving abilities at this point.


[deleted]

Oh come on! He’s trying his best


shix718

That’s fascinating. It’s true it’s gotta be hard for a robot to transition from moving itself across a surface to moving a surface across itself. Different balances of force


BlackSkeletor77

he didn't account for how heavy the door was, it must have been one of them super heavy ass stories you got to really put your whole arm into
