  • Over the last couple of years, SpaceX have been rapidly building and testing their Starship prototypes. But in order to get the most out of each test, SpaceX had to buy and hire a robotic dog from Boston Dynamics. This video looks at how SpaceX are using their robotic dog and how similar robotic creatures could be used when we send the first humans to Mars.

      I don’t think they actually bought it. Sure a trade or sponsorship for marketing... SpaceX is followed by everyone across the globe because of Elon and the fact they’re having tons of success... but yes they’re gonna get way more. Once one is trained it can be shared. Just wait till neurolink and spot lmao

      I don't know about Boston Dynamics specifically but I can definitely see SpaceX investing further into robotics and automation. There are so many jobs that don't require human skills to complete, or can be used in preparation for and complementary to humans. For instance, a robot that can pave a hardened surface for landing on the moon, or a self-driving vehicle than can move supplies to where they're needed.
