Google founder accused of mistreating robops
Google founder Larry Page was accused of mistreating robots. On social media, many users are discussing a video where he kicks an iron dog, reports Business Insider .
The video was filmed in 2015. It was at this time that Google owned the robot manufacturer Boston Dynamics. The video captures footage of Paige kicking the robot. This was done in order to test how well the device stabilizes its position on the ground.
It is worth noting that this method of checking the capabilities of machines is widespread among equipment manufacturers, but some social media users saw this as cruel treatment of the robotic dog. Some of them admitted that they feel discomfort from the fact that Paige kicks the animal, although it is electronic.
Earlier it was reported that Boston Dynamics engineers taught their Atlas robots parkour. They showed how cars perform various stunts and overcome obstacles on a special platform.
