  • A Bunch Of MIT’s Robots Went To Play In The Park And It’s Terrifying [Video]

    Great, now they hunt in packs.

    A few months back, we wrote about two Boston Dynamics robots named Spot and Atlas, who enjoyed dabbling in gymnastics, parkour, and other terrifying feats.

    Thankfully, the duo was kept separate from one another, and we weren’t forced to watch them combine their powers, which is more than we can say for these nine MIT dog-like Mini Cheetah robots.

    Here’s Mashable:

    …a new video from the school’s biomimetic robotics lab opens into new levels of terror. After a playful bit of robot soccer, the nine Mini Cheetahs gather together like a military unit and start playing a dystopian version of “Simon Says.”

    The synchronized stretches and backflips are creepy enough, but the leaf piles will really mess up your day. This is what the eventual, clearly inevitable robot uprising will look like right in the moment it happens.

    Why do we need robots that can burst from piles of leaves, like these Mini Cheetahs do just after the 1:55 mark?

    Also, one chap enthusiastically hums the Jaws theme music whilst watching on, which seems rather ominous:

    This will not end well.
