    Great way for managers to sneakily spy on its employees and their conversations, while also circumventing some laws around employee spying. Sounds like a great way to create a terrible work environment.

      There are cheaper ways to spy on employees es. There is a app that records audio 24/7. They used this app to automatically find bars that show pay tv without paying the fees. (La-Liga-App in Spain)

    If they let young techs to tweak and go open source in the plant from the whole country and put a prize to come up with solutions those kids will built better better solutions and technologies for car production????‍♂️

    It seems like these robots are being used to replace the mind-numbing repetitive jobs, which I’m all for.

    • Grahamaan27

      August 10, 2020 at 10:47 pm

      Not really, it’s replacing the labor only. someone still has a mind numbing and repetitive job of controlling it

    • Maarten

      August 12, 2020 at 6:12 am

      @Grahamaan27 but this is faster and come on, controlling a dogbot is way more fun than just making pictures yourself

    why

    Self replicating robots could be used to terraform Mars and prefab underground bases as well.

    • Rapper Merch

      August 11, 2020 at 12:26 am

      I can see it, but it’d be hella expensive

    • Doug Murray

      August 11, 2020 at 1:20 am

      @Rapper Merch We ship 3d printer to Mars have it build a second 3d printer, etc… then 3d print more robots, bulldozers, etc… have robots come back to earth to pick up some plants, animals, insects to populate underground bio domes… and use carbon dioxide on Mars to make fuel and water with hydrogen

    • Rapper Merch

      August 11, 2020 at 1:38 am

      @Doug Murray a 3d printer like that doesn’t exist. You can only 3d print ~70% of a 3d printer with current technology. There’d have to be hundreds of millions if not billions put into development for a printer that can 100% 3d print another, and then comes the need for resources. I’m pretty sure mars doesn’t have the resources needed to create electrical circuitry or plastics. Even if there is, you’d need a robot to mine it, purify it, melt and mold it, etc. ON SITE by itself. So not pheasable during your lifetime I’d say.

    • Doug Murray

      August 11, 2020 at 11:13 pm

      @Rapper Merch Before my cousin’s team landed rovers on Mars, it could have been considered non-feasible. Once it’s been done it becomes an established fact with practical examples to show as proof.

    Get rid the gamepad and give it its only AI software. ????????????

    When people who have never been in a manufacturing facility design stuff for manufacturing facilities.

    imagine when they make thousands of these then a hacker decides to hack all of them and use it for very bad things

    • boiboiboi

      August 11, 2020 at 12:17 pm

      The hacker would need several military grade satellites to operate them without latency

      high profile hacking is extinct in 21st century

    • KFash

      August 11, 2020 at 12:22 pm

      @boiboiboi not necessarily. All he needs is to write specific instructions scripts. Spot is intelligent and doesn’t necessarily needs the control. A script to perform a 5min damage is enough. Hack Boston dynamics cloud, the cloud gives the malware to all the spot robots connected to the cloud. 5min destructive malware is enough to cause more damage than covid 19

    • boiboiboi

      August 11, 2020 at 1:40 pm

      KFash

      1. spot is not intelligent, he has algorithm to do simple task,
      2. Spot does not operate from cloud , if it does, it’s like hacking icloud main server which means you need to DOS attack which means it requires more people more computing power, the easiest way of course breakin to the highly guardedfacility
      4. The most sophisticated malware ever existed (Stuxnet) took years to develop and only attack one software, how many years to take to reverse engineering spotmini systems?
      5.what spot gonna do? Tickles people to death?

      Stop watching Hollywood bullsht

    I dont know if you need a robot dog to do that mapping job tho.. but if you have the deep pockets, ya get whatever you want.

    Well… Real autonomous robot or remote controlled gadget? ????

    I would quit immediately.
