  • Adam's first project with Boston Dynamics' Spot robot gives it a novel purpose: pulling a custom-built carriage with Adam as its passenger! Watch Adam give Spot some Victorian flair and the interesting problems that arise in marrying cutting-edge robot technology with vintage transport.

      @@kyoko703 Completely false. All and any manufacturing process creates co2 and other waste materials, while also consuming energy that required to be produced, usually by creating more emissions, what ironically is why modern car causes far more emissions than old car simply due manufacturing, materials used and utility life. For instance old Mercedes can go over million km's on its life time of at the moment decades (even with out full engine rebuild) and beyond that with proper basic maintenance, its usually vehicles chassy that rust away before it cannot be repaired no more due vehicle inspection regulations and even then it has decently good condition engine so it ends up in Africa as a taxi, or spare parts for said taxis.
      Modern car has life expectancy of 10 years or 200k km's, so if you drive lots to work all over the country you go trough 5 modern cars compared to old Mercedes. Thats 5 times the emissions and manufacturing energy used cause modern cars are designed by the company not last long, forcing you to give up all home made repairs at the point where you need to take your new car to dealer to chance a god damn light bulb.
      Simply put older things were designed to last, while new things are designed with trow away culture mantra, making them far worse to environment and consumer than older things what might not be most efficient possible, but still beat new things by miles, cause fuel consumption difference is irrelevant when manufacturing and eventually disposal is the most energy consuming process what also causes most emissions and waste.
      On topic of solar... no just no. Your average consumer grade solar panel has life time of only 5 years and top of the line lasts only 10 years, also those in 99% of cases are not simply efficient as to get 90% efficiency you need to have sunny area if all possible, no obstructions, no sand or other crap flying around and whole panel must be tracking suns movements and face towards it. Install panel to wall on synny side and you already lost roughly half of you possible power there. Add there panels heating what drops about 10% off, what you can fix by cooling them, but that pump takes 5%.
      Put it simply your average or even high end private solar cell installation is not efficient and you are lucky to get 30% of its potential, thats why those are put on controlled platforms on huge solar farms and even there you get maybe 80% efficiency, while installation costs absolute fortune and lasts 10 years, until you need to swap the panels. On desert you might need to do that far sooner due sand and dust dulling the surface as solar panels need to be optically spotless.
      Ou and currently we do not have any method of recycling those panels, so those get sent to 3rd world countries where locals take them apart, or those just sit around and deteriorate and so for release extremely toxic gasses stored inside to atmosphere creating far more damage than that whole solar farm could do its life time.
      Further more its pretty much irrelevant how much co2 we put out, chancing to solar and wind turbines does absolutely nothing as those are unefficient, manufacturing costs and costs by emissions are huge. If we want to do anything to control our planets climate, we need to get to the source problem. Planet gaining more energy than it can radiate off and where most of that energy comes from? The sun. Build infra on orbit that we can start construction of Dyson sphere that can be used to control how much energy goes towards earth and that energy can be captured by different methods like solar water heaters spinning turbines, creating energy and using laser to beam it to wanted destinations where manufacturing can be prioritized like Mars for instance.
      Then again this takes time, money and effort, so on the mean time we should look practical solutions to problems like chancing this trow away culture and increasing nuclear power plant to get rid of coal plants. Think with your head, not with your feelings and do your research.

      @@Hellsong89 Spot itself operationally does not spew CO2. The manufacturing, the delivery, the logistics, the packaging, and potentially even the charging and the making of its batteries does produce CO2.
      But during its actual operations of turning on and off it does not.
      Though the person that is operating it and controlling is spewing CO2 if you want to nit pick.

      well flying cars arent good. They'd have to somehow generate zero wind and zero sound to be viable.
      Meanwhile, machine learning has enabled this cheap robotic toy to instantaneously adapt to towing over a hundred an fifty pounds from a ball hitch. The pilot presses "forward" but to go forward spot has to calculate how hard he can pull without falling over, where he can place each foot securely, in accordance to future steps and maneuvers. It's a highly advanced artificial intelligence, at least as far as what we got today goes.

(I'm not sure what the maximum price I'd expect: if they're trying to ramp up production slowly, maybe even $500k would still swamp them!)

      it may at first seam silly. And.. well.. most consumer service robots are silly. like robots that sit in front of stores telling you about coupons (Im looking at you Pepper). But judging by the conversations with the B.D. people in the video, it seems that Spot was well equipped to carry a load on its back, but has yet to learn how to PULL a load. It would seem this is still an area that B.D. needs to explore. In that case, an Adam Savage Coachworks Rickshaw mark 1 is the perfect test bed application for learning how to 1: detect you are pulling a load, 2: figure out how best to pull it. 3: be ready to stop it (and not get rolled over by the load as in the outtakes clip). There is a lot of potential A.I. development here.

    I think leather straps instead of that ball joint would have been a good solution as well. You want the joint area to be a bit flexible to account for the disruptive movement of the robot. You could strap leather straps in place of that wooden bar and instead make the mound on the robot stiff, so that it can hold on to the leather. The flexibility of the leather dictates how much of a delay there is to a disruptive movement response. In the sweet spot the amount of force that is transmitter over this flexible joint to your carriage is minimal!1
    At least that's my theory, would be nice if it could be demonstrated (or not) :D
