And to think that in addition to doing parkour he also knows how to dance: in the video below the choreography that sees him committed to the units. stain me Handle always developed by the group.
The robotic wishes of Boston Dynamics
In the notes to the song “Do You Love Me?” from Contours, already in the soundtrack of the movie Dirty Dancing, the sensors and actuators are managed without smudging and keeping the beat, complete with a twist and something very similar to Crane technique by Karate Kid. Good vision.

In any case, the fears of Google and the Alphabet matrix do not seem entirely unjustified, at least according to what we read in these hours on social networks: there are many who consider robots rather and especially their abilities to replicate human movements. disturbing. A possible food for thought to address an important aspect linked to the intersection between automation and artificial intelligence, how to manage innovation so that things do not get out of control.
