Why SpaceX Bought a Robotic Dog
Ғылым және технология
Over the last couple of years, SpaceX have been rapidly building and testing their Starship prototypes. But in order to get the most out of each test, SpaceX had to buy and hire a robotic dog from Boston Dynamics. This video looks at how SpaceX are using their robotic dog and how similar robotic creatures could be used when we send the first humans to Mars.

I don’t think they actually bought it. Sure a trade or sponsorship for marketing... SpaceX is followed by everyone across the globe because of Elon and the fact they’re having tons of success... but yes they’re gonna get way more. Once one is trained it can be shared. Just wait till neurolink and spot lmao

I don't know about Boston Dynamics specifically but I can definitely see SpaceX investing further into robotics and automation. There are so many jobs that don't require human skills to complete, or can be used in preparation for and complementary to humans. For instance, a robot that can pave a hardened surface for landing on the moon, or a self-driving vehicle than can move supplies to where they're needed.
Spot finds a huge dinosaur bone on Mars and is like: "Mine. All mine!" - and never tells the humans about it.

That's a common cartoon trope, dog being replaced by a robotic dog but in the end fails because "organic". Ironically in the novel the movie blade runner is based on robotic animals were cheap and organic were a luxury only the rich could afford.

You're a God sneaking an ad in like that 😂🤯 took me a solid few seconds to figure it out.
Really interesting presentation! The future of robotics is fascinating to contemplate.
YES!! This is the first I've heard of the idea to send a Spot robot for mars missions!
Loved hearing the Airwolf theme when you introduced the dogbot !!
Using the 'Airwolf theme' as introduction tune for Spot, is a nice touch!
Is that the Airwolf theme in the background? Nice one! ;-)
5:54 if you would get me away from my computer with this I am gonna give you all my money
Spot is spot-on. Cheers!
the ad so smooth! i watch it till the end, i tough that space x program
Great video and also great transition to the sponsor part XD
Just Great Stuff 👍 🙏You have motivated ME & MANY to start their youtube channe! 🙏
The old Airwolf music lol awesome!
Just love the Airwolf theme!
Tanker: explodes Everyone: What the dog doin?
This video made me to start learning physics, math, and programming.
Wow!! This is amazing
video editing is really good.
sending Spot to Mars is a good ide. He has enough speed to walk on the surface faster than other rovers. Different attachments are also a big plus for it.
Great video, just awesome
We are seriously getting closer to Blade Runner futuristic world
I saw this robotic dog on SN10 test flight! He is so cute!
The starship just looks like a big can of beans
The Airwolf theme song was a nice touch @2:02
Awesome vid
Just imagine SpaceX and Boston dynamics working together to colonize Mars. It would be really neat to see SN12 sending Atlas, Spot and Handle to Mars in 2023.
Ur almost 200k views good job
Love that Knight Rider song cameo
Love the Airwolf music, and that's just from playing it on C64 as a child.
2:11 Wow how did you acquire rights to use theme song from "Airwolf" TV show?
We need robots like 'TARS' .
Solid video
using robots is one of the most economical ways of exploring space put a Spot on the Moon first, then Mars, then Titan
Very interesting!
Wow Airwolf theme. Haven't heard that in a while :)
Amazing, robotic dogs still being man's best friend :D
Yup. We definitely need a TARS & CASE when we go to Mars!
Its a dream come true!
Amazing. And people wondered why engineers were designing & building robotic quadrupeds. NOW we know.
Aren't we gonna talk about that incredible segue there?
More than likely, the LIDAR is being used for failure analysis. Simply put, everything gets scanned and saved into a point cloud where cause/effect analysis can be done.
Awesome 😎
Upvoted for the air wolf theme.
Oof that sponsor transition was smoooth
Wow, that was the smoothest sponsor transition I'v ever seen.
Also gotta make sure that superfine Martin dust doesn't get stuck in all the components

Should have given the pup floppy ears, this is so incredible! This would be such a cool time to be alive, sending robots to build a base on Mars!
Spot is a good purchase. It does a mean Moon Walk.

Was the the 1984 "Airwolf" tv show tune playing in the background during the "Spot" clip?
In his book Michio kaku writes 3 robots will be very essential in habitation on mars: minning, repairing and construction robots
: The Airwolf theme is apt, really.

Good video, but you missed the whole point of SpaceX using Spot. This robot dog has a very sophisticated AI in it, and it can preform operations entirely independently given a guideline of what the task is... so no, humans don’t need to “operate” it necessarily, which resolves the issue of long latency transmissions. Do more research in this dog, it’s really fascinating. Adam Savage uploaded a very informative video on it that would be incredibly beneficial to watch.
