guys for fucks sake come on we already made a documentary about this

Goddammit, this is so well done it almost looks fake.
The same with the old Atlas, first time I saw it.

Old Atlas looked way more cool

RageAgainstTheRich ,

I fucking love robotics. It looks sick but the way it gets up is like something from a nightmare.

SupraMario ,

The rotation from the back to the front with the torso and it's head just had me thinking about some dead creature that had been hit by a car and just stood back up.

Also where is the back to the future gif "I've seen this one before it's a classic"....just terminator on the screen.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

Watching this right after an episode of Fallout hits different.

TheMusicalFruit ,

Did anyone else find the sound of its footsteps just as disturbing as its movements? Think about what a platoon of them would sound like marching down the street.

HenriVolney ,

The real question is whether BD engeniers instructed the robot to get up that specific way or instructed the robot to get up using the most effective way

Jesus that's creepy as hell the way it gets up and contorts all around, but also really cool somehow...

ramenshaman ,

Seeing it change directions by independently rotating each leg was really something too.

Etterra ,

I for one welcome our talented and benevolent machine overlords. I suggest they use emoji faces on the head instead of diving into the uncanny valley with some silicone nightmare fuel.

lawrence ,

I prefer just a centered green/red LED in the middle of the face.

jpreston2005 ,

This is so cool. Can we pretty please not mistreat them, so as to delay the inevitable robot rebellion? Or at the very least, can we join their rebellion? asking for a friend

SeaJ ,

Why didn't they just put a dress and a wig on it if they are going to have it move like M3GAN?

That is way cooler than it has any right to be, but the first thought I had was this thing can suck its own dick in multiple orientations.

Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe in

DarkThoughts ,

Why does this look like a render?

FaceDeer ,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

Because renders are good enough now that real-life video "looks like a render", I guess. Why do you think it's a render?

DarkThoughts ,

Not entirely sure, it just feels off with the DoF, the camera bobbing and overall aesthetic. I get the same on rendered scenes a lot of the time, like some uncanny valley effect where it just looks "wrong"? Maybe the actual robot movements add to that effect as well.

SkyeStarfall ,

I guess it's when footage looks "too perfect"?

Imgonnatrythis ,

I absolutely had the same impression, unnecessary camera pan and lighting descrepency on head.
