Boston Dynamics robots get 1980s movie montage

Some brilliant YouTube spark has cut footage of Boston Dynamics' humanoid robots performing feats of strength and agility to "Scarface (Push it to the Limit)."

The video takes a bunch of milestones made by Boston dynamics' humanoid robots PetMan and Atlas -- PetMan doing push-ups and walking on a treadmill, Atlas stumbling over uneven terrain and climbing stairs -- set to one of the most classic montage tracks of all time -- "Scarface (Push it to the Limit)," written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte for the 1983 cult-classic crime film "Scarface."

Although the film uses the montage to document protagonist Tony Montana's meteoric ascent through the ranks of Miami's criminal underworld, in "Push It to The Limit Petman, Atlas Boston Dynamics" it's used more as a training montage, a la "Rocky."

It fits absolutely perfectly, though.

RHex Rough-Terrain Robot

RHex is a 30-lb robot designed for mobility on rough terrain. It is operated remotely via an RF link that includes a high-resolution video uplink. RHex can operate right-side-up or up-side down, as shown in the video, and goes for up to four hours on one charge of its batteries. RHex has been around for several years, but we redesigned this version for ruggedness, long battery life, maintainability, and improved mobility.

Boston Dynamics LS3 Robot - World's MOST ADVANCED Military Robotics

"The goal of this machine is to go where the warfighter goes while carrying the load." Kevin Blankespoor | chief engineer on the Legged Squad Support System project Marines test the capabilities of the Legged Squad Support System for the first time. Marines with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, put the system through its paces at Fort Devens, Mass., Nov. 5-7, 2013. The system, or LS3, is designed to reduce the load Marines carry in combat, can reach speeds of 6 mph and carry up to 400 pounds.
