What's inside Boston Dynamics' robotics workshop?

Boston Dynamics, the best-known company in the robotics space has gained word repute over the last decade, as it builds advanced robots who can dance, jump and perform complex combinational movements, such as dancing. As time passes, several videos are unveiled with the evolution of the robots, but we didn’t have the opportunity to see how robots do the unimaginable.

That changed thanks to CBS’s show 60 Minutes, which succeeded to get into Boston Dynamics' workshop. Journalists made a tour inside the workshop and talked with the staff, including Marc Raibert (founder and president of Boston Dynamics). Mr. Raibert explained that failure may play the most important role in the creative development of the company, as the motto is "Build it, break it, fix it."

The show - tour is available on the website of CBS (link here), however, below you will find the impressive video-choreography with the Boston Dynamics robots that took almost 8 months of work to become a reality.

Obviously, Boston Dynamics robots aren’t just for show and fun. The company has been selling the Spot robot dog in various industries (priced at $ 75,000) and this particular one is used in Chernobyl to measure radioactivity levels in places where it is extremely dangerous for human beings.

The next big project of the company is called Stretch and it is a robot with wheels and an arm that reaches a height of over 2 meters. The aim is to it the market in 2022 as a warehouse solution, as it can move 800 boxes per hour and work for 16 hours without even charging.
