Robo Atlas - Next generation


Robo Atlas - Next generation
Atlas is a high mobility, humanoid robot designed to negotiate outdoor, rough terrain. Atlas can walk bipedally leaving the upper limbs free to lift, carry, and manipulate the environment. In extremely challenging terrain, Atlas is strong and coordinated enough to climb using hands and feet, to pick its way through congested spaces.

Boston Dynamics unveiled a massively upgraded version of its ATLAS humanoid that is smaller, lighter, and more agile.
The new ATLAS can do things we’ve never seen other robots doing before, making it one of the most advanced humanoids in existence.

  2. There’s a reason people are nervous about science and technology.... mixed thoughts are healthy - at least this is my opinion, Eric.
    Have an awesome day!

  3. Truly amazing. I have the feeling this human is playing with fire trying to annoy the mighty robot.

  4. Still makes me cringe to see the bots pushed around honestly. I guess their reaction/attempt to correct their balance seems too human to me. It makes me feel as though they're being bullied. It's still quite amazing nonetheless.

  9. Corina Marinescu Then the Master would have accomplished her goal in conveying the lessons. Class dismissed! ;)
