Adam Savage Tests Boston Dynamics Spot's New Robot Arm!

10 dager siden Ganger 159 k

Spot has received a massive upgrade in the form of its new robot arm! Boston Dynamics upgrades our Spot with its new arm and Adam puts its gripper to the test to see how well it can grab objects littered around the Tested studio and even open doors! We show how manual operation of the arm works, the dexterity of its movement, and get a sense of its potential as a platform for developers to create dynamic and automated tasks.
NOTE: This is not a sponsored video. Boston Dynamics has leased Spot to Adam Savage as part of their early adopter program. While Tested is chronicling some of Adam's experience with the robot, there is no obligation for Tested (or Adam) to publish videos, photos or media of any kind.

It’s so weird to me to think people get uncanny valley vibes from spot. I don’t even think he’s approached it yet. He’s still the cartoonish side of adorable to my eyes. Obvious very beautiful industrial engineering, but he’s still a cute doggo symbol. He’d have to be closer to looking like a real dog to become creepy IMO.

xtreemgamer129 - 2 dager siden

im just remembering when adam taped chunks of cardboard to spot in an attempt to learn how he could modify its shape, and as a result learned that spot needed a "head" so to speak... well now spot finally does have that head. with a long, weirdly articulated neck allbeit, but a head nonetheless.

Hey, you know no matter how cool these robots are, they're going to get used for police and military applications. I know they're not meant for it, but some police departments have already started using them, and there's no way they wont eventually make a special police or military version.
I get that robot dogs are cool, but this doesnt really fit with the channel or its kinda wholesome maker deal.
I enjoy your content, but the boston dynamics videos you do make me a little uncomfortable.

Outswing, Adam, outswing. Ah, well, no-one's perfect and everyone has mix-ups every now and then, so not a big deal really. Was really frustrating to watch is all.

Has anyone ever considered, why these movements are easy for humans/animals, but so really difficult for machines might be because it is done in a completely different way?
Animal's have tremendous sensory systems. For instance I can get up in the dead of night, walk over to the door, open it and such without every seeing it. And who actually looks at the coffee cup, plate and such they are holding while walking around, up and down stairs and the like? The more you do look the cup the more likely you are going to spill it. We do most of this using great sensors, and "well trained muscles./response systems". The robot on the other hand is got a camera in its hand! Yes the human's have fantastic visual systems (and a lot of our brain is dedicated to it), but if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of that can be "offloaded" to more "automatic systems" we would never be able to function in this world. Robots need to get the same for them to become "fluid" like a human or any other animal for that matter.

Another example of the difference. Who has every lost where their mouse cursor is, and have to move it around to find it? (probably everyone). Who has lost the location of the tip of their finger? (no one) We know where it is and other parts of our body is at all times. And when we touch a door handle if we miss it by a bit we know instantly how to correct to grab it correctly.

TheMsLourdes - 4 dager siden

Is it just an arm or meant to be a head like a dog for example.. because spot is alot more interesting with a neck and head. do they have any, essentially, animal modes so when he walks, he moves the arm like its a unified head for the unit?

You're definitely right about the uncanny valley thing. Without the arm Spot was outside the valley. The arm puts him firmly inside it.

Man, imagine--someday people won't need highly-trained support-dogs, they can have robotic support animals to pick up trash or open doors to help the disabled! Perhaps someday something like Spot could even double as a movement device, riding it like a robot-horse. :O

My I conjecture that he Uncanny Valley component is what may stop us from being lulled into a false sense of complacency and then allowing them to become our overlords?
Spot is lovely. Spot is magnificent. Spot is a lethal weapon.

Does anyone remember the gaming glove fom the late 90's? Or the "hyper reality probe" glove controls from SeaQuest DSV? I cant believe this robot doesnt have immersive VR augmented reality controls like that yet. Imagine controlling his arm and head, with your arm and hand and puppeting your fingers open and closed to control his mouth, with force feedback vibration ion the gloves to simulate how tight you are gripping something.

Spot needs a load sensor in his jaws to automatically determine if he's grabbed something. He'd also be able to grab more if his jaw was in four pieces that could articulate independantly. Even just three pieces would be a vast improvement. That top jaw LOOKS like it should be able to split in two!
