Update: Boston Dynamics' Door-Opening Robot Now Taught to Fight Through Adversity
By Rain Noe - February 26, 2018

For chrissakes, why can't they teach these things to give up on their dreams, like real people?

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Update: Boston Dynamics' Door-Opening Robot Now Taught to Fight Through Adversity
There should be a self-defense protocol where the Robot turns around and bites the guy on the ass.
This is a future nightmare, imagine seeing a cute dog arriving at you in the park and you decide to gently pet him but suddenly a freaking snake-ish head comes out to stole you something or to make a satisfaction survey about the park facilities or EVEN worse, undesirable publicity
Why does EVERYTHING from Boston Dynamics have to scare me?
That is great progress but.....did we all miss the message of Terminator 2?
