Boston Dynamics is apparently developing robots that can walk, pick up boxes, and the like, and deal with problems in a reasonably human-like fashion. Here’s the result of adding an important new module that makes the behavior even more human-like. Somewhat indelicate languages here:

Actually, I believe the soundtrack for the video was added by a YouTuber named Mr King and is unfortunately not a feature of the real robot. I hope Boston Dynamics takes the hint and adds the capability as soon as possible, because robots seriously need this, and their cow-orkers would appreciate it as well.
