The intro video for the new all-electric Boston Dynamics Atlas uses the language of horror movies, particularly movies featuring a robot or doll, in the way the bot is shown unnaturally rising off the floor and rotating its body parts 365° to face the viewer.
Is BD rubbing it in our faces that they are building robots for the defense and police industries that will become instruments of terror?
Or are they oblivious to the connotations and just thought it looked cool?
