A movie that actually purchased and opened a quadruped robot ``Spot'' with 8 million yen per unit

Unbox Therapy, which is posting a movie that actually purchases and uses various gadgets and devices after the Boston Dynamics quadruped robot known for robot development was sold for 8 million yen I released the movie that I actually purchased Spot. Watch the movie to get an idea of how the Spot is packaged and how it actually feels.

Unboxing Spot The $75,000 Robot Dog-YouTube


Spot will be shipped in this case.

Compared to the man next to it, the size when packed is quite large.

The quadruped robot 'Spot' is a dog-shaped robot commercial model developed by Boston Dynamics for many years. The prototype was the robot called

Big Dog, which was also known as 'a robot that never falls .'

Big Dog was a quadruped robot that was much larger than a dog, but Boston Dynamics has developed a large quadruped robot, the size of a quadruped robot. It went on sale for $74,500 (about 8 million yen). This movie is to actually purchase and use such Spot.

Unhook the case...

Puck and open.

The Spot was like this, the ventral side was stored upward.

Hold the foot and take it out.

According to Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy, 'It's a shape that you can imagine moving, but it's bigger than I expected.'

The battery is also this size.

Actually start Spot. First, set the battery on the ventral side of the main unit.

Prepare a controller for driving.

In addition to the four-way controller and buttons, the controller has a touch panel in the center. The OS of the controller is Android.

Push the switch on the front of the main unit to start.

Move your legs like twisting your body...

Scoop

I got up and started walking.

The dog who saw such a Spot was excited and roared.

While roaring, I am shaking the tail and following the Spot.

The heart rate of another dog has risen and is excited.

Spot is a robot that can be said to be the entrance of the next generation because it has sophisticated points such as automatically overcoming obstacles and operation feeling.

You can go up the stairs at Spot.

From the controller's touch panel, you can select walking modes such as 'Hop', 'Jog', 'Amble', and 'Crawl', so select 'Stairs' mode.

Spot will then climb up the stairs and stairs.

The image of the camera mounted on the head of Spot is displayed on the touch panel in real time, and you can operate even if Spot is not within the field of view.

Next is an outdoor experiment.

Spot can automatically walk over and continue walking while maintaining balance if it is a simple obstacle.

The boys who were present were also very excited to say 'So cool!'

Run different places in the park. However, Spot falls when walking on the curb.

I turned it over.

The display will indicate 'The robot seems to have fallen, automatic restoration can be performed', so tap it to move the legs...

Gururi

I got up by myself. Spot seems to fall with a certain frequency, but even if it turns over, you can correct the body's direction by yourself.

At times, he may fall himself in front of an obstacle that is too high to overcome.

On the other hand, I was able to get over a rock like this.

Unlike radio-controlled models, Spot said that it is a technology suitable for the next generation because it uses the fact that it will move by thinking about where to put your feet.
