Where Four-Legged Robot Dogs Are Finding Work
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2021
- A number of four-legged robot dogs made by companies like Boston Dynamics, Anybotics and Ghost Robotics have been deployed in the workforce already for applications like inspections, security and public safety among others. At their core, these four-legged robots are mobility platforms that can be equipped with different payloads depending on the type of information that companies want to gather.
Experts predict the insurance industry alone will spend $1.7 billion on robotics systems in 2025. And other industries may follow suit. Amid the pandemic, a tight job market is forcing many companies to turn to automation. A survey done in December of 2020 by McKinsey, showed that 51 percent of respondents in North America and Europe said they had increased investment in new technologies during 2020, not including remote-work technologies.

Where Four-Legged Robot Dogs Are Finding Work
If stopping to recharge every 90 minutes isn't considered a break then I don't know what is.
😂
You could probably replace the battery pack in less than 1 minute.
@@allyourcode so it needs a 1 minute break every 90 minutes?
Haaahaaaaa
Even the most expensive of electric bills are peanuts to wages
They make sense as security robots. Sending one of these robots out to a potential intruder first to gather information seems like a good idea instead of putting a soldier/security guard in potential harms way.
@@larpbusters luddite learn new skills instead of hampering productivity. The same was said of industrialization which we enjoy the benefits of. Jobs should meet demand not hold back productivity other countries will push anywaysm
@@chinesesparrows what if there are no new skills to learn? We are heading towards a world where there is no jobs.
I prefer the security robots from knightscope. These would also work.
@@jaimemunoz5920 barriers may rise but certainly there isnt a lack of skills or demand. Just the IT field alone is chronically hiring. A 12 year education wasnt the norm either 200 yrs ago thats how much jobs have changed already, learn to adapt than self proclaiming to be a victim.
@@chinesesparrows okay so first off there's two issues with your idea. The first is how do you teach someone to learn computer programming who is 55 years old and is now out of a job because the only thing they've ever done is drive truck and that is all they know. And they barely know how to run computers.
The second issue is let's say we go on a low-end and let's say there's 40% of people who no longer have jobs because of technological unemployment. But there's only enough jobs for 10% of those people what do you do with the other 30% that even if they knew how to do the job there just wasn't enough jobs for them.
And also so right now if the robotic dog breaks we have to be able to fix it and it's complicated. But in the future as with all technology it will become simpler to replace and at some point in time there will be a fixing robot that would be able to fix the dog for like 90% of anything that could go wrong. Maybe even more. I mean as an example I'm literally talking to you on a computer that cost me $90 and there's no physical way for me to really fix anything if it breaks and honestly I wouldn't really want to. I would just get a new one because it's so cheap I'll just buy a new one.
"Doesn't need breaks" but batteries need to be charged. That is the exact definition of a break. We recharge when we take breaks.
@@Fish301AJ that's also a good point. Would be nice if we could hotswap our batteries lmfao
@@Fish301AJ I'm pretty sure that's how they work already, hell, I'm pretty sure boston dynamics has a video of one of those dogbots swapping the battery of another dogbot, kinda spooky
@@Fish301AJ spot has hot swappable batteries, most likely the same as the others
How many do they have? One working while others recharge.
It's all cute and amazing until you see one with a m240 mounted on it's back
I find these "robot dogs" interesting and amusing to watch. If people think they won't use these in military operations, with weapons and autonomous operations, they're mistaken. That's just the next logical step.
The military budget will RISE BEYOND COMPREHENSION
@@hwong1776 Our military budget's already mouth dropping...

there are already robots with guns, I remember seeing one in a discovery channel show, AGES ago, they are definitely going to be used in war, they're just as inhuman of a weapon as any bomb or machine gun
Indeed. Attach with additional Gatling gun, heat sensors and night vision. Farrkkk. I will see you in hell 🤣🤣
Air travel, microwave, the internet, GPS, encryption and numerous medical tech etc are from the military realm already.
"Ford would not expand on why the robot dogs were fired" lol this made me laugh and an image of a robot dog strike popped into my head.
This reminds me of machino, the electrically operated cat in Tom and Jerry.
It’s great that you can’t dislike this dystopian future.
ruclips.net/video/_soM2-ko9KM/видео.html
Only 26 dislikes so far
It’s only a matter of time before these are weaponized against protestors. How much is the chemical gas spray upgrade?
@@1970joedub Any kind of technology can be weaponized, I don't know why you went specifically to protestors, but you do you
Make them super rugged and cheaper as a van and I will buy one for the construction side.
As an electrician I have to carry a lot of equipment and I often have to use a ladder, or a small/medium size work platform. Make it strong enough to be used as a work platform and to carry some equipment.
Also give them some lights and an arm to hand me some tools. This would be perfect
All your requirements are probably gonna be optional or standard in 15 to 20 years just like drone deliveries will be the norm in 20 years.
Yessir a robotic dog toolkit
you want to a 150k robot just to carry equipment?!!
@@akshaydesai6805 150k isn’t the permanent price pnt
Whenever big tech says "safe for employees" imagine it like "replacement for a human".
If a process is easy to automate and cheap to operate, every business owner is going to get themselves one of these.
Then the safest place for every unskilled and/or partially skilled worker will be "home".
If productivity increases that dramatically then Government payments to jobless individuals will be sufficient from taxes.
That's capitalism bro, it has been the case for 2000 years...
Already happening with some jobs
Really though, if the job they are taking is that easy to automate, it probably wasn't something someone would have wanted to do for 8 hours straight for the next 5+ years anyway. Some jobs should be automated. Repetitive motion is bad for the human body.
@@mck04 sure let's just keep them and all of their future generations on life support forever at the expense of people who actually work. that sounds sustainable.
There is a place for all mobility forms of robots. Wheeled, flying, dog, centipede and snake. Each will have their own special applications.
Robot centipede
@@Rocket_Man Sounds just like my worst nightmare
@@vividesiles3763 🤣🤣🤣
Just wait until they all connect to each other, to form an even larger robot!
@@CodeMerk gahhdayum
The day they’re able to pick up scents like real dogs will be incredible
One might go as far as to call this a machine that would make theft impossible. A robo dog standing at the exit connected to the shop sniffing out whats in your bag and tackling you when you took something you didn´t pay for. Dogs are usefull but the issue is that they can not tell us all of the information that they receive. Now there are two ways to go at it. You either enable the dog to put out information or you build a mashine thats able to do what a dog can. Boston dynamics and other companies might be doing the ladder whilst neural link by Elon Musk might just make it possible to read out the input a dog gets through his senses and to use that to our adventage.
What a crazy world to be alife.
Should not be difficult. If odar sensors are AI trained
Thanks for the in-depth and informative videos, CNBC! Your work doesn't go unappreciated!
I could see trash/litter collection as being a solid use case, though I'm guessing it wouldn't be economical at this time. Maybe in another ten years we could see these things cleaning up parks or the sides of highways though.
Or people could quit being lazy and pick up their own trash.
@@irreccon I think the robot scenario is more realistic 😆
@@fleshreap you're probably right.
@@irreccon Or make the people dropping the litter pay for these robot cleaning up dogs,
And all the waste it collects at sum pnt converts that trash into recycled 3D printed material or reusable in sum case.
Recommendation of the day Netflix-blackmirror-METALHEAD 👌
Reminds me of that one black mirror episode
They didn’t fire the robots… let’s not use human language to describe robots… they are robots
Agreed keep them as bots and don’t skin em and make synths
They got deactivated
Anyone see that Black Mirror episode that had this dog in it?
8:35 - Probably because in a controlled environment like a warehouse, flat floors with no obstacles, four-legged mobility is highly inefficient. What you can get from minutes of four legged mobility, you can convert to hours for simple wheeled traction.
stop it! if you keep pointing bs out the VC's wont profit from it
A drone would be more efficient for all of the applications shown
Some versions are armed with mounted machine guns.
The price of these things need to come down with economies of scale but it’s going to be an interesting field to watch in the coming years
Dang!!! I got a place in Upstate NY a few years ago n am moving home soon! I am glad I bumped into this video !!
I'd get one for basic tasks such as dropping off items for me in the house.
Where I live in Northampton UK there are loads of robots going around delivering goods.
@@favesongslist woah for real? Like self driving go karts or drones or dogs?
@@xian2708 6 wheeled AI carts with a lock box for carrying mainly food for the co-op supermarkets in the UK. There are some funny video on youTube of people trying to steal the contents of the same bots in the USA.
Until they get a lot cheaper, this isn't going to happen because people like me will kidnap them and try to reprogram them. Grubhub say bye bye to your 100k$ robot
I for one welcome our new robot-dog overlords.... 😳
They did try making robot-cats first but all they did was sleep all day then push things off shelves then fail to decide whether they wanted out or in.
They are so cute aww
Terminator Dogs... that's just great.
It doesn’t need breaks although it needs to be recharged after 90 mins….. so it needs break then???
They are testing for swappable battery packs. So that robot in docking station drops it battery, gets a charged one and continues to work. Main issue is docking station would be pretty complex and would make sense only if there are a bunch of robots in the environment.
Black Mirror was foreshadowing the future! Robot dogs are next level scary!
U don't use it then your enemy will build it and use it. Is it ok for your own soldiers who are risking there lives for you to die just because you are uncomfortable with this tech.
@@anandisrocking007 its typical western b.s too much ideology too little sense.
@@alexanderphilip1809 exactly in the end this is tech which can outgun your opponent you may have few thousand soldiers but once advance enough during war time hundred can be produced per day and the most time in any technology is r&d which would be too late by then.
Thanks cnbs this was some deluxe and nutritious information.
A Robot Dog is a Robot Man’s best friend.
I'm sure every cat person is offended by this.
It would be cool it they can get the robot to climb wall.
dogs are largely reliable when they are put to work. cats arent.
The battery packs can be pulled out and replaced. However, the packs take 90 minutes to be recharged. If you have multiple packs in multiple areas being charged and one in use, the robots can work for extremely long periods.
How'd you determine it's a dog lol
Well people identify themselves as whatever these days rofl
That's what Boston Dynamics calls it.
I thought the same, I think it is just branding to try and make them seem friendlier. A real dog is a loving best friend that you would do anything for,
Vote up, nice video clip, thanks for sharing it :)
They should make a biz class model for ppl in suits and it carries what you need but can walk around the office and get what you want(you can carry it at times like a suitcase and it has that design as well). Obvs a space model that should team wit drones and other autonomous bots to gather the most info as a team on the moon/mars. And 1 that should more resemble an animal wit 2 360 degree cams and a mouth feature that eats/collects trash
"Nah, that's what the unpaid interns are for!"
@@CodeMerk Ik it can take a few jobs😅 but then unpaid interns can have a better job now lol
You're all very good robots. And I love you. Now if you sit and roll over I have some batteries I can give you as a treat.
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable.
- Deus Ex Human Revolution
Very interesting
I need one to watch for theives in my yard lol
That’s dope
These have been around for quite a long time we talking years. But kids on tik tok were like OMG WHUUUT :O when someone uploaded them
You just kind of brushed over the "military robots" at 1:00 - you may want to pay closer attention to that CNBC.
Nothing to see here folks👎
7:22 some one give that boy some pats
How long before they weaponise these dogs like in that Black Mirror episode
They are improving and getting better all the time. Shhhh
Nice video.
IDK about y'all, but just the sight of that thing in motion is enough for me to not to trespass lol
The robot dogs at Ford kept chasing the cars.
Why that picture had black box? There is just heat signature under it in one of phase line
Robot dogs look so funny 😅
Something that needs to recharge every 90 minutes definitely "needs a break."
Man everyone jacked Boston dynamics design.
Even my own dog did it!
Wow 🙂💙
Anyone can get in on the fun, just need some basic courses on computer vision, machine learning, autonomous path planning , sensor fusion, etc. Easy stuff!
Worst thing, you believe it is easy; I believe it is easy, too, but I work in drycleaning. It's been 20 g***amn ****ing years since the worldwide adoption of Windows XP, and I still get ppl, "I can't use Excel, I don't know computers" in my job
It makes me so angry each time
Hey, do you think I should buy mangdang mini pupper? It uses ROS open platform and works on Raspberry Pi
The gun on the dog is just the beginning
Spot is quite cute tbh 😂
Until you mount a gun to it
Someone was just dying to make the hound from Fahrenheit 451 huh?
Black mirror😱😱😱
24 eye-watering frames per second.
4:57 it's called Arcu marker not QR code.
good dog :D
Reminds me of that one Tom and jerry episode when I hear personal robots
Yo awesome
Everyone: Robot dog. Me: Early E.M.M.I. *ZDR flashbacks*
Sweet 🥶💀🤖
You too make a really cool movie.
Seen this video upload before.
When can we have robot fights? I'm still waiting for Plawres Sanshiro to be realized.
Bruh that freaks me out imagine a world with full of robotic dogs
...with guns mounted to them
What we need is the atlas robot humenoid with much more vertical movement
they used spots in the new Boba Fett serie!
4:42 there are downsides to that too. Maybe a problem will develop just outside the field of view and no one will never know until a human goes there or the path of the robot is updated to look there.
They can steer the thing via remote control and camera
He reminds me of the guy from Ex Machina, coincidence I think NOT
Did we not learn anything from Terminator?
I am the only terrified by that thing?
Wait. Don't BD robots need WiFi to operate? How the h does it work in energy plant?
Beginning to wonder if cnbc has a stake in Boston dynamics
hopefully Boston Dynamics comes with a 5 year warranty
Can they be used in rescues?
Kyle Wollman: If stopping to recharge every 90 minutes isn't considered a break then I don't know what is.
.
.
Here is the clinche: It costs $75k for that robot dog. Buy 2 of them ($150K) while one is charging the other is working. You will now have a site inspector who works 24/7, no breaks, no union issues, no holidays, no sick leave... and all this for what 2 years' salary?
.
.
The construction company I work for employs a team of inspectors (across many sites) to ensure workers are following the health and safety rules. We have suddenly started experimenting with one of these dogs.
.
.
Now you probably get why these robot dogs may just become a viable business case (and why all of a sudden workers' jobs are on the line).
Why no mention of SpaceX using a Spot for site inspections?
Seeing as Boston Dynamics' Robot Dogs could potentially do well in terms of aiding in the health and working industry, I wonder what other aid can the robot dogs do for us
Litterally nothing? Aside from a hobby tool, nothing.
Lmao everyone copy-cat-ing the original spot robot
Doesn't need a break but it needs to charge every 90 minutes. So it does need a break?
She says "it doesn't needs breaks. Yet it needs to recharge after every 90mins."
Thats a break!!
Imagine being so rich and buying one these- couldn’t be me
Policing will be the next logical step for the autonomous robots! No discrimination practices!
Lol. The opposite will be true.
If they police where there is the most crime, then there will be "discriminatory practices"
Okay great, black mirror implementation
Only 90 minutes? it’s gonna have to be better than that for wider use cases.
Please sign this petition if you want Fluffy to get reemployed
When did they choose to name the robot Dante?
You want Terminators? Because this is how you get TERMINATORS!!!
Bring on the Bots!
4:42 wow I just noticed they used an android gaming console JXD XD
So how do we fight them?
“Save a lot of operating expenses for the company”
Mean we dont need as much manpower!
Then i hope you buy bespoke car and artisan clothes. I'll enjoy my affordable dependable mass produced (gasp) wares. Automation already occurred in masse 200 years ago, get with the times
I'm imaging a robot rental company collecting paychecks for use of there robots.
Keeping people safe by keeping them at home and unemployed.
6:48 "They need to send teams of *educated* people"
You're worried about future, you're worried about these robots taking your job? Get educated, then. I know it's could be impossibly hard
lol spot on
Are killbots really going to be even more evil than humans with guns? debatable.
Just put a damn flame thrower or Gatling gun on that thing already. Just get it out of the way.
Robot Kittens should have been developed to avoid the scary robot backlash.
Would like a robotic dog as a pet. Something to walk with and rather low maintenance at home.
Yea till the warranty goes out ... Lol 🤣 I bet it becomes just as expensive as a real dog
