OMG
Boston Dynamics Releases Video of Sleigh-Pulling Robots. Seriously, They’re Kinda Creepy!
Not really sure if it would be fun to ride on this sleigh…
This video below simply gives me the creeps.
Frankly, it looks like a post-apocalyptic Christmas scenario to me. Santa Claus has been replaced by a woman and the reindeer on the sleigh are, well, not animals but robots.
And they’re pretty scary, to say the least.
Boston Dynamics, a robotics company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, shared this video on their official YouTube channel. It quickly racked 1.5 million views in just 2 days (the video was uploaded just last December 22, 2015).
The mechanical animals featured here are the Spot bots, a sibling of the company’s popular BigDog. They are incredibly fast and agile but they’re still terrifying to look at.
Watch the robotic sleigh in action here:
My only question here is this: Have these guys never seen Terminator 2? Or maybe Avengers: Age of Ultron?
Well, let’s cross our fingers that they do not build a robot Santa Claus soon. Surely, that wouldn’t end well.
In any case, Merry Christmas to everyone!
