Boston Dynamics’ robot moving at five miles an hour isn't as outlandish as some critics suggest, as cars on the road moving at 75-85 miles an hour are processing data, doing machine learning and figuring out the car's trajectory in real-time, making the robot’s task easier.
1:15:37 - 1:21:42 (06:04)
Summary
Boston Dynamics’ robot moving at five miles an hour isn't as outlandish as some critics suggest, as cars on the road moving at 75-85 miles an hour are processing data, doing machine learning and figuring out the car's trajectory in real-time, making the robot’s task easier. Special-purpose automation is a cheaper and more elegant solution to solve customer's problems, given the leveraging of core IP at Boston Dynamics can provide a great set of applications to existing product lines and customers they serve for businesses in special purpose automation, which Hyundai is now part of, following its acquisition of Boston Dynamics from SoftBank.
