This is a false thumbnail and a clickbait thumbnail, but it does provide a historical overview of the robots of Boston Dynamics.
We Interviewed This Humanoid Artificial Intelligence Robot That Makes Art | Mashable
Ai-Da ‘is’ a humanoid robot that uses narrow-AI algorithms, cameras for eyes, and a robot arm to create and critique contemporary art in the age of technological overload.
Robots Soon to Be Out Among Us, Says Boston Dynamics CEO
Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics Inc., discusses the company’s new suite of products and the advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence. He also talks about Hyundai Motor Group acquiring a controlling interest in the company for $1.1 billion. Playter speaks with Emily Chang on “Bloomberg Technology.”
Robotics and High-tech Exhibition in Dubai
An exhibition of robots and technology in Dubai, independent artificial intelligence experiments with the robot Spot from Boston Dynamics, the flying car Flyter, and more.
Spot’s Got an Arm!
Now that Spot has an arm in addition to legs and cameras, it can do mobile manipulation. It finds and picks up objects (trash), tidies up the living room, opens doors, operates switches and valves, tends the garden, and generally has fun. Motion of the hand, arm and body are automatically coordinated to simplify manipulation tasks and expand the arm’s workspace, making its reach essentially unbounded. The behavior shown here was programmed using a new API for mobile manipulation that supports autonomy and user applications, as well as a tablet that lets users do remote operations.
How Boston Dynamics Built The Most Advanced Robot
Capable of eye-catching gymnastic feats, lighting-quick machine learning and slick dancefloor bops, Boston Dynamics robots are truly a modern day technological marvel. And whether you think they mark the dawn of a new age of idle leisure for mankind, or represent a grim harbinger of humanity’s inevitable enslavement, you must admit they’re pretty cool from an engineering standpoint. So today, we’re peering under the hood of our future metallic overlords and finding out just how Boston Dynamics build their robots. The most striking feature of Boston Dynamics’ more famous latter-day creations – the adorable, dog-like Spot and the swole, Stormtrooper-esque humanoid Atlas – is that they walk on legs

Our whole crew got together to celebrate the start of what we hope will be a happier year: Happy New Year from all of us at Boston Dynamics.
Why do robots look like humans?
Many robots are designed with a face – like Hitchbot or Pepper robot – yet don’t use their ‘eyes’ to see, or speak through their ‘mouth’. Given that some of the more realistic humanoid robots, like Sophia, are widely considered to be unnerving, and that humans have a propensity to anthropomorphise such designs in technology, should robots have faces at all – or do these faces provide other important functions? And what should they actually look like anyway? Richard Sprenger explains
