Q&A with Aaron Saunders, VP at Boston Dynamics, on teaching robots to dance and how that informs the company's approach to robotics for commercial applications
Evan Ackerman / IEEE Spectrum : Tweets: @pranavab47 , @aparanjape , @mouserelec , @kaeshour , and @helengreiner Tweets: Pranav Bhounsule / @pranavab47 : Boston dynamics does not use machine learning to control their robots. https://twitter.com/... Amit Paranjape / @aparanjape : By now, most of you would have seen those amazing ‘Dancing Robots’ videos by Boston Dynamics (over 24 million YouTube views in a week). Here's how they did it... quite interesting: https://spectrum.ieee.org/... Mouser Electronics / @mouserelec : Wondering how those @BostonDynamics robots got their sweet dance moves? 💃 How Boston Dynamics Taught Its Robots to Dance: https://mou.sr/... Image: Boston Dynamics https://twitter.com/... @kaeshour : Excellent piece: 1 knowledge = heuristic error-correction, 2 substrate-independence of human creativity: thought-music-motion-code 3 how human-driven machine learning is (dancers scripted moves to music; engineers abstracted them to machines' repertoire) https://spectrum.ieee.org/... Helen Greiner / @helengreiner : 24 Million Views!...that beats “cat on roomba”. Your move @irobot....
