Three BostonDynamics creations straight out of a sci-fi thriller
BostonDynamics recently uploaded some more videos of their robotic creations, and all I can say is scary.
There is something about these real robots that just feels uncanny.
On top of that, they seem to be getting smarter and smarter.
I really do hope that they are being kinder to these robots than they used to be.
If you ask me this all seems to be a robot uprising in the making, I know I’ll be on team cyborg when that time comes.
You can watch the videos here:
