Robots can now Misty 5. Missed the grab tho. Next up: Boston Dynamics makes it do a dub 12 at Wachusett.

I didn't realize it was CGI until the robot picked up the bag. Crazy that video editing has come this far tho.

Would have been funny if he threw the tools with robot strength and knocked the guy off. Also that flip was dope. I remember when I was a kid and all I wanted to do was chuck those off walls and picnic tables. I like the reaction too.

Put it on snow! YOLO

There were some YouTube comments talking about the cut right around when the bag gets picked up. The wrinkles on the bag change. I didn’t see any CGI either

it just looks weird cause theyve got a gimbal and some post stabilization going on, it looks "surreal" which for sure triggers the idea of CGI but its definitely all real

I know about Boston dynamics but it just looks fake. Their other demos don’t look this surreal, maybe it’s just the resolution but it visually looks like CGI, plus the bag grab looks animated.

Ironic that the main source of funding, the DoD, is also why we won’t be able to ski in 40 years.
