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

So once you press go, the robot does its thing and plays that thing. It's not listening, it's not watching, but I think it should do those things.

One of the cool things going on, you know that there's a class at Brown University called Choreo Robotics. Sidney Skybetter is a dancer, choreographer, and he teamed up with Stephanie Tellex, who's a computer science professor, and they taught this class, and I think they have some graduate students helping teach it. where they have two spots and people come in.

I think it's 50-50 of computer science people and dance people. And they program performances that are very interesting. I show some of them sometimes when I give a talk.

But it's also a challenge. We get asked to have our robots perform with famous dancers. And they have 200 degrees of freedom or something, right? Every little ripple and thing, and they have all this head and neck and shoulders and stuff. And the robots mostly don't have all that stuff. And it's a daunting challenge to not look stupid, physically stupid next to them.

And we can reverse things. If you watch a human do robot animation, which is a dance style where you jerk around and you pop and lock and all that stuff, I think the robots could show up the humans by doing unstable oscillations and things that are faster than a person. So that's sort of on my... you know, my plan, but we haven't quite gotten there yet.

I think you need to have an environment where interesting engineers, well, you know, it's a chicken and egg. If you have an environment where interesting engineering is going on, then engineers want to work there. I think it took a long time to develop that at Boston Dynamics.
