Most likely it’s real. That said, we don’t know how many 10s-100s of takes this was done in. This single video could be the results of hundreds of hours of fine tuning parameters.

As one of the comments on the video says, that feeling is an example of the "uncanny mountain" effect.

I'm not so sure.

1. [EDIT: IGNORE THIS POINT] They've done this before. [1]

2. To get more specific, look at the robot's legs around 0:09-0:16. They don't seem to be moving normally.

I don't have professional video analysis chops, but I'd put some money on this being fake.

Happy be to be proven wrong, though.

EDIT: It appears I remembered this story incorrectly, and posted a link without reading it. I retract my first statement. I'll leave the link for posterity, though.

That CGI gag was done by Corridor Digital, not Boston Dynamics.

That's a great channel, I really like their "reacts" series that comes out every Saturday. They also had a good one from Sunday about the Pentagon UFO videos.

Have you seen the behind the scenes video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EezdinoG4mk

That provides some great context, but I couldn't help finding it a little unsettling at 03:09 when one of the robots is suspended off the ground and "bleeding" a pink fluid onto the mat beneath it.

Your link says nothing of the sort.

yeah definitely odd looking. I thought maybe just like 5k@60fps or something and my peasant eyes were just bad, but deffo odd looking
