Some crazy s art folks at Boston Dynamics. Guess they’re done with being smart and just want to chill. Surprised it took this long as they e been around for a while.

On a side note Hyundai and Kia plants are highly automated, so perhaps this is a way for them to control costs associated with that aspect of their business model.

“...exploring Star Wars-style walking vehicles that rely on robotics...”

Yeah, that’s going to go over like a fart in church, on an interstate highway.

The company I work for is helping Walmart automate their store warehouses. Trying to eliminate as many undependable workers as possible.

Chinese robotics company "Unitree Robotics" has a $2,700 robotic "dog" Go1 on the market that is really cool. Seems to have a lot of the characteristics of the Boston Dynamics robotic dog. It will follow you and carry your water bottle.

What’s the point of a robot dog? My dog looking at me right in the eyes and getting a happy look is why I have a dog.

Isn’t Boston Dynamics the company that made those creepy robotic dogs?
