Vatche

My name is Vatche, I talk about movies, robots, and more. Thoughts are my own.

This Memorial Day, we come together to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

@DeryaTR_ .@donttrythis and @BostonDynamics Spot did it way better 5 years ago! https://t.co/gA7OmsjiiL

Everyone's talking about VLAs and VLMs for robotics. For humanoids, the whole body controller underneath matters a lot too. Without good whole body control, even the most capable VLA can't complete the task. 🧵

Everyone asks if Atlas can bring them a drink, but this robot can bring you the whole fridge. Using AI-driven behaviors, Atlas is doing hard work and coordinating its whole body to manage heavy objects, balancing complex contact points with accuracy and reliability.

@techniahq A 17 second video of a robot outdoors is not a public “deployment.”

[Boston Dynamics @BostonDynamics]

Balancing commercial goals and robotics research can be tricky, but with Atlas we're making it work.

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

We teamed up with @BostonDynamics to power their robot Spot with Gemini Robotics embodied reasoning models.

This means it can better understand its surroundings, identify objects and follow simple commands - like tidying up a room.

[Boston Dynamics @BostonDynamics]

Data powers digital transformation! ST Engineering MRAS is leveraging Spot to get a full view of critical equipment and facility. Working autonomously, Spot collects information about machine health and, with the integration of the Leica BLK ARC for reality capture, detailed and accurate point cloud data for their digital twin.

From assessing fires, to getting eyes on barricaded suspects, to sniffing out hazardous chemicals, the Oswego County Drone & Robotics Program is putting Spot to work to improve response times and keep people out of harms way.

@mario_bollini We can’t help ourselves with our CGI budget!

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

60 Minutes gets a look at the first real-world test of Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot Atlas, offering a glimpse of a future coming faster than you might think. Sunday. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW

@janthonylong In case you’re curious, we have a whole site dedicated to all of the ways our customers are using our robots: https://t.co/bexrn77MCb

[Boston Dynamics @BostonDynamics]

Can't trip Atlas up! Our humanoid robot gets ready for real work combining strength, perception, and mobility.

[Vatche @vatchea]

Come see this project I’ve been working on for a year!!

[Brattle Theatre @BrattleTheatre]

Join us Sunday at 12pm for MADE IN MASSACHUSETTS, a one-time-only public screening of an epic 3+ hour chronological compilation of scenes from over 200 films and television shows shot in Massachusetts between 1922 and 2022. Learn more: https://t.co/mF2o62asID

The thing nobody talks about is that in 10 years we'll have a million bipedal robots and in 25 years we'll have a billion. You’ll buy yours for $10k and it will be as important to your life as your smartphone is now

[Boston Dynamics @BostonDynamics]

Meet the industry standard for dangerous and routine inspections - now with a new set of features and hardware to empower our customers to do more. Watch our full announcement video to learn more. https://t.co/p0oZfianOp

Some of the fam came back from Universal Studios after seeing the world’s greatest stunt show a second time and demanded to watch Waterworld. Every time I revisit it, I’m more blown away by what they pulled off in camera. Costner is a real one. Went all the fuck in
