Los nuevos robots de Bosstown Dynamics se rebelan contra sus creadores
La gente del canal de humor Corridor tiene este divertidísimo vídeo sobre los robots de «Bosstown Dynamics» y lo que todos nos imaginamos que va a acabar sucediendo cuando se rebelen contra sus creadores. Porque esos entrenamientos indignos propios de esclavos nos dan pena a todos, eso hay que reconocerlo.
Aparte de que el vídeo es hilarante de por sí es más divertido todavía ponérselo a algún amiguete o familiar diciéndole «¡mira el robot nuevo que han inventado!» Porque el principio empieza siendo como el de cualquier vídeo de entrenamientos robóticos… Solo que la crueldad contra las máquinas va subiendo de tono poco a poco hasta que se vuelve WTF.
Los efectos especiales y el modelado 3D además muy realistas así que hay que reconocer que el robot en cuestión podría pasar por uno de los nuevos artefactos del futuro sin problemas.
