advanced robot dog spot having scratch support is quite unexpected it is great way to teach children about computer science and robotics, absolutely wonderful!
Been programming for 50 years. Started in high school (probably only a couple of high schools in the country had a computer course back then). That set the course for my life. You are changing their future and improving the world! Well done!
@@moroteseoinage A tool like any other. It's who is using the tool and how they're using it that matters. I've been able to help many companies and a court house over the years.
You and I are probably around the same age. I started learning programming (BASIC) as a junior in college. Univac 1106 computer and we used keypunch machines - 1 punched card per line of code. I have a sneaky suspicion that using 80-column Hollerith cards to program Spot would be a tough challenge.
Wrote my first line of code at the age of 13. That was 51 years ago, and I'm still writing code professionally and as a hobby. In the early eighties, i worked in a high school where the IT teacher and myself built a whole series of devices and interfaces for the BBC micro. The kids learnt to code in order to control physical "things". This tangability, the ability to see, touch, and feel the output of their code in the real world gave them a joy and excitement that staring at a screen just doesn't. What we've got here is just brilliant. ❤
We're at the moment it is hard to tell what will the future bring. Maybe AI will develop so well that manual coding won't be needed anymore. However when I try to imagine how 6-9 years old myself would react meeting spot and seeing him performing what I programed earlier, this would probably give me unbelievably motivational brain kick that would probably influenced the rest of my life. Good work guys. Those robot classes might have similar role on current generation as ZX Spectrum had on my life.
Scratch was my first programming language, and now 15 years later I work as a dev full time! Its awesome to see Spot integrated with such an accessible system for learning the basics of Computer Science, this seems like a fantastic educational team-up. Also, bright yellow robot dog seems to kinda match Scratch's neon orange .jpg cat
I can't help but think, the reason all these kids want to be robotics engineers is because most other careers will be done by said robots in 10-15 years.... Robotics engineer is likely to be one of the few job avenues left!
OMG Boston Dynamics you Realy Are Pushing Boundaries In The Best Way Spot Is Perfect as He Dont Look Menacing so Just Right to Teach Kids and Even Adults to Learn Thank You Your Company Is Truly Awesome
I don’t care about Spot to be honest. He can’t take care of my laundry or cook a meal. He can only carry things. Only a humanoid robot can do advanced tasks.
I would absolutely love to see an All terrain version of spot that can make it through a obstacle course of deep mud and water. Something that you could torture test and pass.
I don’t think I would be so interested in robots if it wasn’t for big dog and LS3 they are two of my favourites but just seeing how the robots have evolved over the years is just amazing in my opinion
That is connected to an NVIDIA Jetson and it basically runs a program that looks around the room, focuses on a certain object, and asks ChatGPT to explain what it sees in a "sassy and curious robot's style", which is then piped out through the speakers. It can be pretty hilarious sometimes
Sos muy interesantes todos sus videos. Qué recomiendo si es que pueden hacer doblajes de cada video creo que sería mucho más difundido su excelente trabajo
in our fantastic country Hungary where the educational system is so horrible you dont even learn how to solve derivatives by the age 18 is such a horrible feeling. We envy those who are able to learn
They will always need programmers. The role of a progeamming is just getting more complicated and requires a different skillset than it used to. An understanding of the fundamentals will always be a huge advantage, even when we switch to relying on AI.
*It's all fun and games until a kid is petting the "robot dog" and their finger gets sheered off because it was between a joint when it's legs retracted*
Truly. We always do a robot safety lesson before demoing spot. They learn not to touch or reach out to Spot while it's active. We give them a chance to pet Spot once he's sitting.
Spot is used in a range of educational settings, public and private, from grade school through to universities. Central High in Louisville, Kentucky, for example, is a public high school that incorporated into their curriculum; this video even addresses how they were able to budget for Spot and the difference it made in their student community. ruclips.net/video/2sZphMFJ-x8/видео.html
Don't you feel like you're falling behind Tesla's Optimus at this point? They seem to have achieved more in a year than BD has in 10. Spots cute though!
@@machmar I mean not really, it's a valid question. I don't see BD making nay advances in real world AI. While I think spot has a valid use and Atlas is cool and all they just don't seem to making much advancement. Do you?
@@JasonColdham You mean a machine, that's operated remotely by someone is more advanced than robots that include more than 30 years of engineering experience, which can autonomosly adapt without any operator or cloud service to any enviroment and do fully autonomously their work? You're joking, right? Optimus is still just a piece of remotely controlled hardware, which has not brought anything new. Even Pepper robot from 2014 can do more autonomous tasks and is smarter. Sure, Tesla nailed the look of Optimus, it's design is crazy good. But that's about it. It's still not helping anywhere, it's still just a prototype. I don't see any benefits that would Optimus have over BD robots. Well, maybe it looks less scary than the new Atlas.
@@MartinKubaS5 You’re right that BD’s robots have impressive engineering, but Tesla’s rapid progress with Optimus and their focus on real-world AI and scalability make me think it could catch up or even surpass BD in the next decade. It’s still early, but Optimus seems designed for broader applications, which could make it more impactful long-term.
@@JasonColdham I think the main issue with tesla when compared to BD is that Tesla takes the *slap AI on it* approach while BD just *writes the code* . AI is not a viable long term solution.
Teaching kids about robotics is great, and your team is doing commendable work. However, as the only American robotics company that can compete with China, you seriously need to take development more seriously and increase its speed. Rush it if you have to because we need to get ahead of China's Unitree again!
Boston Dynamic's robots are already being used commercially. China is no where near to establishing the robotic infrastructure that Boston Dynamic's already has.
Yes, Unitree made very simillar robot to Spot in less than 3 years, but have you seen the unitree robots anywhere in real life at real work? Nope, no one uses them. I've seen only Spot and Anymal used for real jobs. Unitree tech seems to be too unreliable.
@@ProtoAlpha our workshop owns Spot Explorer for 2 years now and two Unitree Go2 Edu robots. I think that my research and knowledge about this stuff is more than enough. I got to see Unitree B2 at General Laser in Vienna, it's definitely a nice piece of equipment, but I would never rely on it. It uses basic algoritm for walking and it does not react to surroundings as much as the more advanced Anymal or Spot does. Sure, China copied the design and created very simillar platform in just a few years. But that does not mean the stability, intelligence and mainly overall usability, ease of use and reliability is better. This is what BD robots already have at next level and I highly doubt china will be able to soon recreate that.
@@MartinKubaS5 Okay then, my bad. But what about the $16,000 humanoid? Boston Dynamic's new humanoid would be so expensive you'd have to contact them to buy it. It's far stronger, too. Scarily so. That robot has actually got me thinking about cybersecurity with these things. If a hacker wanted to use these robots to cause damage, do we have the proper things in place to prevent that? A Dr. Wily scenario.

Hello Spot. You’re a good boy spot.
When are you gonna make a bigger version of spot that I can ride like a horse?
They will always need programmers. The role of a progeamming is just getting more complicated and requires a different skillset than it used to. An understanding of the fundamentals will always be a huge advantage, even when we switch to relying on AI.
We love you Spot keep up the great work your doing oh and BD too :)
Hey Spot, do you think it could meet a real dog?
Anyone here scared that 5 year olds are programming these robots. Wedgies by robots coming soon.
Spot is Adorable ❤❤❤ and Cool ❤❤❤
Spot really Lovable one. ❤
am I the only one here who is scared of all these robots?!
They be scarier when they have chainsaws attached to them.
😂😅😮😢

$7400 USD
@@Fourtune1more like $70,000 USD. You forgot a zero lol
I notice Spot doesn't have the arm and hand attachment. So looks cute.
With arm and hand attachment it's nightmare fuel...
The arm is basically the same price as the robot (60K)
Scratch 👀 is it easier to use than Scout? Asking for a friend 😉
That’s wonderful!
Just remember the treat it as a thing or it and you'll be fine.
