Here Are Some Headlines for This Incredibly Boring Robot Video

Roaming Robot

When we saw that Agility Robotics had released a new video of its impressive bipedal bot Digit, we were stoked.

Then we watched the clip.

Maybe we've just gotten spoiled by videos of robots doing backflips, navigating parkour courses, and twerking their robo-tails off, but it's hard to feel anything but, well, kinda bored watching the new demo — Digit literally just strolls around the woods for two-and-a-half minutes while a lullaby of an instrumental track plays in the background.

 

We Kid Because We Love

Sure, Digit will do a lot of walking in its new job delivering packages from Ford's self-driving cars. And yeah, the clip does prove Agility Robotics' bot can handle a wide variety of terrain. Plus we really do love its weird spiky hands, so ultimately, the video seemed worth sharing — but we saw an opportunity to have a little fun at Digit's expense in the process.

To that end, the Futurism editorial team came up with these headlines we think just might be more entertaining than the video itself:
