Here is an amazing video of real robots by Boston Dynamics.

If you want to see some of the stunning capabilities of some of their models, look at the video below. The music us missing, but it’s just as impressive.

There are no tricks here, no fancy editing. These are real robots, doing these tasks independently. Obviously, the routines are not trivial, and the programming is complex.

For instance, I don’t know if the dancing in the first video is completely choreographed, or if there was machine learning involved, where the robots are mimicking humans dancing after observing them. Either would be impressive.

I am sure there is a lot of work left to do to make this technology mainstream, but it is coming.
