    Thats actually cool to know thanks for expanding on this. The videos are shot to be very impressive but in reality i wonder how much use this would be in real world? Maybe some kind of warehouse stacking where you can qr label everything or if it cluld truly navite a semi-set route maybe some sort of inspection of remote facilities? Maybe building stuff on the moon? (Assuming you could deal with the dust somehow)

      Tesla already has hundreds of humanoid robots in its factories doing simple stuff slowly. so does Amazon.

        My understanding is that robots in warehouses like these are controlled by a central computer system that manages their movements, etc. It makes sense to have a central authority that manages all activity in an enclosed environment.

        Whereas the Boston Dynamics ones are largely self contained. A number of years ago they developed a 4-legged “Pack bot” as a proof of concept. It was designed to carry hundreds of pounds of supplies and follow soldiers as they hiked through all sorts of terrain.
