#video of the day | Robot Boston Dynamics wants to take the laurels at Roomba

Atlas robot created by Boston Dynamics, showed at the competition hosted by DARPA robots, and has since been working on the IHMS team tries to find new ways to occupy his creation. So why not do the housework?

Of course, this can cause a lot of jokes about the enslavement of robots and robotic butlers, but engineers are good arguments in favor of his decision: it allows them to test new software robot, not doing boring routine tests. House cleaning is just a fun variation of movements such as opening doors or walking on the stairs.

Operator John Korff told, what is the process of robot control:

“I’m not just sitting there with a joystick controlling a robot: I reported him via the user interface that want to take standing on the table a bottle by clicking on it and checking that the robot arm was in the right place. The robot then tells me how he is going to move his body to reach the right place. If I am satisfied with his plan, I allow him to start moving.”

However, one question remains open: what is more humiliating for the robot to clean up after people or to get them “the ass”?
