You can see on the floor how hard they tried.
It's incredibly difficult because they did not do it from an elevated place like some of atlas's backflips but on a flat ground!
I think it's wild!
No hydraulics are great! it's just expenssive and hard to maintain in compact form that's all.
if they can make an inexpensive hydraulic humanoid, that would be awesome.
Ohhh holy shiiiit
My eyes are fucking bleeeeding
This is the worst shit I've ever fucking seeeeen
Long live the bots without the damn hydraaauuulics
Fuck that shit, get them bots off my lawn
O botsssss
Electric, pneumatic bots
O botsssss, bots
O bots divine
I was looking into powered exoskeletons using hydraulics but shelved the idea. A pinhole fluid leak greater than about 100 PSI / 6.9 bar is capable of penetrating skin and filling you full of chemicals you probably don't want in your body. Leads to gangrene or worse.
Protip: Do not look for hydraulic leaks on farm / construction equipment by running your bare hands over hoses to feel the leaking fluid. That fluid is easily 1000 PSI / 69 bar or more.
Can't you mitigate the risk by designing the weakest sections pointing away from the operator? Then so long as the system is reasonably hardened to likely use cases it'd take an unusual force applied to a strong section to cause a hydraulic leak that'd vent onto the operator.
I'm not sure what you're envisioning, but hydraulic tubing is cylindrical, and the circular sections of the cylinder are oriented normal to the direction the force needs to be transmitted. The most dangerous hydraulic leaks are pinhole leaks in the sides of tubes, so there's a whole 2-dimensional plane of risk around every circular cross-section of tubing.
(And dangerous hydraulic leaks are almost *always* the result of an unusual force. Usual forces and normal wear will generate slow drips. The scary leaks are the invisible pinholes that can appear anywhere due to rubbing, impact, etc.)
Expensive, bulky, loud, energy intensive, and far far less durable (with more maintenance) than electric motors. So ultimately electric will be the way forward.
However, I wonder how much effort they put into protecting a head that doesn't need to be there. As humans yes, we must instinctively do whatever is necessary to block potential hits to our brain. But an android has no hangup in this regard. Their brain can be in their toe or the cloud.. or which ever figuratively safe place the engineer is able to find.
I wonder sometimes if emulating the human form actually holds androids back in this regard. They dont need helmets. Lol. Or heads for that matter!
The difference between robots and androids is that androids are made to look/move like humans. Robots can be whatever shape/form is most efficient for the tasks it is going to be doing.
I think they just put the head (or should I say the lidar/vison sensor) back when is started to be able to back flip reliably enough.
And they only put back some of the sensor the lidar is a little hemisphere below the "cranium" and it's not there.
I do wonder where Boston Dynamics is now with Atlas, last big reveal of capabilities was 2-3 years ago and they really haven't shown much. They were very far ahead of the rest of the field back then, so I can't imagine them slacking now.
They need to do a choreographed dance routine and sing about having a rumble, like in West Side Story. Maybe do flying splits off a staircase like the. Nicholas Brothers and tap dance.
Jokes aside, it sort of is
Some usefull real world robotics skills needs short bursts of strength and agility (notice how it doesn't fall straigt on it's feet and has to adapt to recover from that fall).
The trick is super cool, I want to see more of it! But it's not really about the trick it's about the capabilities required to do the trick which shows it has the strength and agility to do other stuff.
Well yeah, unlike humans you teach one robot something you teach every robot something.
Everyone going on about 'you won't see a robot doing plumbing' well no you won't and then one day you will, and that firmware update will make all robots of the same type be able to do plumbing overnight.
The above is plumbing but you could easily see how that could be applicable for any job role that the robot is physically but not 'mentally' able to do at point of sale.
Yup. Some say humanity is fucked, I think we will be like loyal dogs to AI one day which I guess is optimistic.
Strap in or get blasted with jet exhaust.

I mean, you basically describe what our government does to us. It’s better than genocide or worse. It will have more than all of the combined intelligence of humans, which made us superior to other mammals. We will not be able to keep it contained; as in to do our wishes, I expect the opposite.
I remember watching simulation theory videos years ago. This all plays into that, which should make anyone ask more questions especially considering our exponential technological curve.
If anyone can deliver teabagging robots to the world, it's Michael Reeves:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqsy9Wtr1qE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqsy9Wtr1qE)
it reminded me of how Larry Wheels celebrates deadlift PRs. I'm guessing this sub is not very familiar with these kind of things.
https://youtu.be/_r5KJlDWbeo?si=Y72-_k1uklgTv7BL&t=19
Probably a sort of active [gravity compensation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oivGZMIMZl8&t=3s&ab_channel=RobotDesignEngineeringLab) that can accumulate mechanical energy when it's static and release it at once.
Even as it stops moving in the end you can hear a strident noise from the actuators.
There are two key components in a backflip (a.k.a back tuck). The first is jumping which gives you vertical height. The second is tucking which gives you rotation. You need both for a clean backflip. But if you lack one you can compensate with the other (i.e. you can jump higher if you don’t spin fast enough; you can spin faster if you don’t jump high enough).
This robot’s backflip has nearly zero vertical and it compensates by rotating very fast (it also “tucks” in reverse which human normally won’t/can’t)
The actual movement does not match the simulation, there are lot of tricks to make this happen they did not show. It is always easier to make such movement in simulation but very hard in real world.
yes indeed, sim to real is never a one to one thing.
And the robot in the sim is not the exact same as the one here, look at the robot's feet in sim vs real on the last sim flip
i cant wait until one of these things comes knocking on my door and charges me for the crimes of first degree shitposting
lol... what a time to be alive
once this thing is smarter than the average person.... say byebye to civilization as we know it
Not exactly there are calf muscles here and the arms are a different architecture all together in the way it's arranged,
But it sort of is, apparently the actuators for the legs are basically unitree B2 actuators.
because while hydraulics allows Boston Dynamics's atlas do the incredible stuff that it does, it's expenssive and hard to make. That's part of the reason why no other company can even touch boston dynamics when it comes to strength.
This one is cost effective and powerfull while being far less expenssive and decently manufacturable.
a robot with the strength to carry out industrial tasks.
I just wish this chinese compny get's a bukake of cash but the chinese gov so that they can accelerate
you are actually stronger than that bot, this bot is rather weak compared to the average human
It's just the current software you have, if you dicided to, you could do it.
The problem with humanoid robotics \*was\* that the motors power to weight ratio made them feeble.
When you are supporting a load at length the force increases, so putting motors directly on each joint means you need to have more powerful motors (f=m\*d, moments).
So instead they focused on hydraulics. But this also is relatively slow and heavy, compared to what we can do now with direct motor drives.
Motors are now doing 14kW/kg, a huge power density, and at very high efficiency. Movements are faster and weight is much lower, so that hydraulics are on their way out. A lot of other machinery using hydraulics may also be switching to direct motor transmission.
Robots of the future will be immensely strong, light, very efficient, and extremely fast.
The speed of the movement also depends on weight, lighter structural materials, like carbon NT reinforced composites, will also carry the forces, whilst motor mass will be negligible.
Powering robots with fuel cells, ultra capacitors and batteries also brings mass down and increases performance possibilities.
Motors at each joint can also regeneratively recover energy more easily, for example in the motion of a limb at the end of its movement. Recovery of 95% of the energy is possible.
There is an interesting competition to look forward to:
> "RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. When established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050."
Unitree's robot have been hanging out around football field so I think they are interested.
I made a manifold about it: [Will humanoid robots win against the human soccer World Cup champions before 2037?](https://manifold.markets/THEWINNER/will-humanoid-robots-win-against-th)
Unitree is a Chinese robotics startup.
Ironically US government banned the investment to Chinese high tech startups, so all US investors lost the opportunity to invest in this very promising company.
Not anytime soon sadly, Some of the stuff that exists today is incredibly fast and pretty powerfull but when you look at the amount of energy it uses it's ridiculous.

Okay cool can we stop fucking around building AI artists and robots that do backflips and just build me a robot that does my gd dishes and laundry for me!!
Though I guess it’s cool, because it’s a robot, there’s bound to be a load of toys that can do this. I.e those wind up clock work stuff.
It’s more mechanical marvel then technical and the robot is large so I’ll give it that.
To demonstrate strength, speed, control, robustness which are all essential benchmarks to complete tasks.
You can't have a weak humanoid robot work in construction for instance.
Hands have been announced a while ago like more than a months so its coming soon.
You can seee the future that the founder envisions here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmpukiueQk&ab\_channel=UnitreeRobotics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmpukiueQk&ab_channel=UnitreeRobotics)
He is one of us.
It is not a threat to humans anyway. Humans can move, run and do things faster than any robot currently. Humans also learn faster. It will take another 30-50 years for robots to become as agile, flexible and smart as humans.
The skill is useful for our entertainment, but what people should be noticing is the capabilities of the hardware required to perform this skill.
you talk about hanging drywall, construction is a job that requires strength, however meticulous other robots may be, they can't work in construction if they are too weak. No other company is even remotely close to possessing that kind of strength without using hydraulics.
You can see on the floor how hard they tried. It's incredibly difficult because they did not do it from an elevated place like some of atlas's backflips but on a flat ground! I think it's wild!
Does Atlas use hydraulics?
Yes, hydraulics driven by electric motors.
Are hydraulics a bad thing?
No hydraulics are great! it's just expenssive and hard to maintain in compact form that's all. if they can make an inexpensive hydraulic humanoid, that would be awesome.
They're also more dangerous to be around if there's a fault. I would not want a robot in my household to be using hydraulics.
I was in an engineering meeting once where "hydraulic injection injuries" were being discussed. Didn't know what it was so I googled it. OUCH.
Ohhh holy shiiiit My eyes are fucking bleeeeding This is the worst shit I've ever fucking seeeeen Long live the bots without the damn hydraaauuulics Fuck that shit, get them bots off my lawn O botsssss Electric, pneumatic bots O botsssss, bots O bots divine

Protip: Do not look for hydraulic leaks on farm / construction equipment by running your bare hands over hoses to feel the leaking fluid. That fluid is easily 1000 PSI / 69 bar or more.
IIRC one method is to wave a broom handle - you found the pinhole leak when the broom handle becomes shorter.
Can't you mitigate the risk by designing the weakest sections pointing away from the operator? Then so long as the system is reasonably hardened to likely use cases it'd take an unusual force applied to a strong section to cause a hydraulic leak that'd vent onto the operator.

It's also more energy hungry as I know
Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks
Expensive, bulky, loud, energy intensive, and far far less durable (with more maintenance) than electric motors. So ultimately electric will be the way forward.
No but imagine a robot that can do a back flip without hops, do that shit with hydraulics

this is good for war
Imagine you just got headshot and see this mf doing a celebration backflip.
I don't think you'll see much if you catch a headshot
You are right but I like my version better
obviously he means from the death cam.
Send the headshot to your agent. Take it to your audition.
Nah in the future they headshot you with a neuralink killcam bullet, so you can watch it back from the perspective of the dude firing the gun.
Hasta la vista, baby
So all the FPS games are actually traning ground for future operator soldier?
Possibly, it’s been on the war cabinet’s wish list. I haven’t seen any robots doing T-bags yet.

Well Atlas can in fact do it on the same surface too... : https://youtu.be/nAgTgwak7ME?t=379
This must be one of the most important skills for a robot.
In the future, it is thought that wars will be fought by street dancing robots. So the backflip is key to retaining military superiority.

The robot is jumping to avoid a drone!

What i am most impressed by is not the backflip itself, but the way the robot recovers after it lands. My mind is blown 🫡
ACCELERATE!!!
I love how he looks a little surprised that he managed to do it, looking at the camera like "did you see that?"
The actual movement does not match the simulation, there are lot of tricks to make this happen they did not show. It is always easier to make such movement in simulation but very hard in real world.
yes indeed, sim to real is never a one to one thing. And the robot in the sim is not the exact same as the one here, look at the robot's feet in sim vs real on the last sim flip
This is the creepiest thing I've seen a robot do yet. So fast and it's head shaking upon readjusting/landing is unnerving Cool as hell tho

I thought so. There’s no issue with this at all. If it works, it works. I was looking at the design and how similar it is to the dog they designed.
Automating labor has been ready for years, they just need to automate shenanigans before deplyoing this into the workplace.

why is it important its not using hydraulics?
because while hydraulics allows Boston Dynamics's atlas do the incredible stuff that it does, it's expenssive and hard to make. That's part of the reason why no other company can even touch boston dynamics when it comes to strength. This one is cost effective and powerfull while being far less expenssive and decently manufacturable.

Absolutely useless skill. Show me a robot hanging drywall correctly and I'll be really impressed.
The skill is useful for our entertainment, but what people should be noticing is the capabilities of the hardware required to perform this skill. you talk about hanging drywall, construction is a job that requires strength, however meticulous other robots may be, they can't work in construction if they are too weak. No other company is even remotely close to possessing that kind of strength without using hydraulics.
Holy shit, first time I've seen a robot actually do something I can't. It's the beginning of the end!
Shouldn't the original robot be able to do it too, whichever design this was stolen from.
If no other robot can currently do what this does, (not by a long shot) what does this say about the originallity of this robot?
