#412 โ€“ Marc Raibert: Boston Dynamics and the Future of Robotics

So I think the reaction you just gave to the robot getting kind of interfered with or tested while it's going through the door, it's showing you the scope of the solution.

Well, I was the final edit for most of the videos up until until about three years ago or four years ago. And my theory of the video is no explanation. If they can't see it, then it's not the right thing. And if you do something worth showing, then let them see it. Don't interfere with a bunch of titles that slow you down or a bunch of distraction. Just do something worth showing and then show it.

#412 โ€“ Marc Raibert: Boston Dynamics and the Future of Robotics

People have criticized, especially the big dog videos where there's a human driving the robot. And I understand the criticism now. At the time, we wanted to just show, look, this thing's using its legs to get up the hill. So we focused on showing that, which was, we thought, the story.

The fact that there was a human, so they were thinking about autonomy, whereas we were thinking about the mobility. And so, you know, we've adjusted to a lot of things that we see that people care about, trying to be honest. We've always tried to be honest.

I mean, it might be the most important ingredient, and that is robotics is hard. It's not gonna work right, right away. So don't be discouraged is all it really means. So usually when I talk about these things, I show videos and I show a long string of outtakes. And you have to have courage to be intrepid when you work so hard, you built your machine,

There's a video of Atlas climbing three big steps, and it's very dynamic, and it's really exciting, a real accomplishment. It took 109 tries, and we have video of every one of them. We shoot everything. Again, we, this is at Boston Dynamics. So it took 109 tries. But once it did it, it had a high percentage of success.
