Who let the Dogs out
I thought this was quite innovative when I first saw it. I suppose I can't be surprised that an Asian country came up with this idea. They're using the robot from Boston Dynamics to walk around the park and warn people to maintain social distance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viuR7N6E2LA When the video first starts of you think "Wow..that's pretty cool. Singapore always gets the cool stuff" Singapore is slowly releasing lock down measures, but it still wants to ensure that people maintain safe distancing protocols. Rather than waste a persons time doing this, it's makes much sense to have a robot do it. The first time you watch the video you see the robot and you think that's pretty awesome. By the way, it's name is Spot - I guess because it spots you and tells you to "Back up Bruh!!" But then you see one nervous old lady and shes like OMG! - and then another young lady surreptitiously slinks away. Everyone keeps as far back from it as possible. You then realize people are a little *scared* of this robot. It's like they think it's the Terminators dog. That's understandable. Spot is bigger than a doberman. It's made out steel and could probably out run you. Thank goodness it doesn't have a head otherwise it might bite your ass. However I actually do like you robots. I think they're cool. But it got me thinking. We now living in a world where we've got big ass robo dogs patrolling our parks telling you what to do. *How did we get here??* For me it's quite simple. We ate cows, and we ate chickens, and we ate cats and we ate dogs. And instead of having actual dog playing Frisbee with you in the park, you've got Spot Robo Dog barking orders at you. There's a connection here. We ate lots of animals. As per the CDC "3 out of every 4 new and emerging infectious diseases that affect people come from animals", and now we've got actual robots replacing these animals. It is bizarre. https://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/basics/zoonotic-diseases.html Personally, I like the robo dog Spot - I reckon he is cool. But having actual animals that are cute is also cool. Let's stop eating animals so that we can pump the brakes on the weirdness in the world we're experiencing. Give nature a break - and we'll be able to live better freer lives.

wow , this news spread so far, it was just pilot run yesterday and it was carried out in a park near my house. In fact I plan to go and visit this robot dog this evening !
LOL😅...Take a picture with it and post it...I'd love to see a close up 😄🙌
Too bad... the whole sat evening I couldnt find it.. and today evening rained :( .. so no chance to meet it yet..
Digital innovations going to rule the world and we have to admire with on that
As a techie I can totally appreciate Spot!! I wouldn't mind getting one 😅💯`
this is amazing. but in the same time it's intresting that we use technologie to remind us with such an essential and vital thing.
I'm always surprised at how they find interesting ways to use the tech. I never in a million years would have thought of this use case. It's Awesome 😅🙌
i agree with you about how awesome is technology, but it's kinda sad that we need it to remind us about things that should be obvious and vital. but the idea itself is amazing and like you said i would never would have thought of something like it. :D
We are entered into the world of robots and they are going to rule us
That's why we need to protect our natural world. the more we get rid of the dogs, cats, cows, forests, rivers, etc the more they'll be replaced by tech. We need to protect nature😊💯
Yes that's correct
making robots create more jobless people on most of the factories.but humans can do more what cannot done by robots
Yeah we need to discover for ourselves what we can do that robots cannot.💯
Hmmmmm! 🤔 It is good to see Asian countries bringing the idea of robot to create awareness for people to stay indor
Wow is that for real?
Totally! You should go check out the other videos of "Boston Dyanics" - it's crazy what these things can do 😊💯
I am aware of Boston Dynamics but I think a lot of these are just showing whats possible but not the reality.
Whao! What an innovation in technology! High level of AI application. "I give kudos to the developers of SPOT-1!"
I completely agree!! I would actually love to have one 😊
You see, robots will make human stress highly relieved. "You can just imagine yourself taking wine in the comfort of your home and having robots doing all the house chores for you at low cost"
Thank you for your reply and the upvoting. You've really encouraged me to work more. Thank you.
These robotic dogs and humanoids are impressive out of MIT. Their agility is impressive and now run of lithium batteries. Next10 years these things will be everywhere.
I reckon you right!! If it's in production now - then inside of a decade they'll be lots of them running around.
