YouTube came, we caught the YouTube wave and it had a huge impact on our company.

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

I really admire Elon as a technologist. I think that what he did with Tesla is just totally mind-boggling, that he could go from this totally niche area that less than 1% of anybody seemed to be interested to making it, so that essentially every car company in the world is trying to do what he's done. So you got to give it to him. Then look at SpaceX. He's basically replaced NASA, if you could.

That might be a little exaggeration, but not by much. So, you know, you got to admire the guy. And, you know, I wouldn't count him out for anything. You know, I don't think Optimus today is where Atlas is, for instance. I don't know. It's a little hard to compare him to the other companies. You know, I visited Figure. I think they're doing well and they have a good team.

I've visited Aptronic, and I think they have a good team and they're doing well. But Elon has a lot of resources. He has a lot of ambition. I'd like to take some credit for his ambition. I think if I read between the lines, it's hard not to think that him seeing what Atlas is doing is a little bit of an inspiration. I hope so.

I would love to host that. Now that I'm not at Boston Dynamics, I'm not officially connected. I am on the board, but I'm not officially connected. I would love to host a- Robot meetups? A robot meetup, yeah.

We have a bunch of different robots. We bought everything we could buy. So we have spots. I think we have a good size fleet of them. I don't know how many it is, but a good size fleet. We have a couple of animal robots. You know, Animal is a company founded by Marco Hutter, even though he's not that involved anymore, but we have a couple of those.

We have a bunch of arms like, you know, Frank is and... U.S. robotics. Because even though we have ambitions to build stuff, and we are starting to build stuff, day one, getting off the ground, we just bought stuff. I love this robot playground you've built. You can come over and take a look if you want.

it doesn't feel that much like, well, there's some areas that feel like a playground, but it's not like they're all frolic together.
