A robot with a gun… not necessarily the smartest idea, as anyone who has ever seen films like “Terminator” or “Robocop” knows that.
And yet, in a video that we received requests for because it was uploaded to Facebook , you can see a very skillful and precise two-legged robot that acts with extraordinary agility.
Instead of the short Facebook version, you can see the full video here:
Apparently, not only is this robot not distracted by anything, be it kicks, punches or bees, but it even shows some kind of moral behavior at the end of the video when it refuses to kill a robot dog and instead runs away with it.

Who is Bosstown Dynamics?
Facebook makes it too easy: Anyone can upload videos, hardly anyone checks the source, no one bothers to see what the company “Bosstown Dynamics”, whose name is shown in the video, actually does.
In fact, there is an engineering and robotics design company called “ Boston Dynamics ” that designs mobile robots that can be used for a variety of tasks. The company “ Bosstown Dynamics”, on the other hand, is a pure fantasy company of the creative minds of the YouTube channel “ Corridor ”.
In Boston Dynamics' YouTube videos, you can often see the robots being kicked, pushed and punched to demonstrate how well developed their sense of balance is. “Corridor” thought this a little further: What if “Boston Dynamics” also develops military robots (which cannot be ruled out)?
So they invented the company “Bosstown Dynamics” and made a parody of the videos of the real robot developers with lots of CGI effects and bizarre humor. You can see how much work goes into this in this making of video:
You can already see in the preview image that no real robots were used in the video, but rather people were recorded using “motion capture”, which then become robots in the video.

Conclusion
It is still uncertain whether robots will one day be as good (and dangerous) as in the video. However, the video above is pure CGI art.
