Boston Dynamics releases video of Atlas robot athletic prowess including back flips

[gary]

In an incredible 54 second video published yesterday, Boston Dynamics
shows some of the latest improvements in the athletic prowess of their
Atlas robot.

Getting ready for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics perhaps? :)

Be sure to watch for the out-takes at the end. :lol:

I just spent some time on utube looking at what is out there and had a laugh ..two robots debating even.

It freaked me out when I saw that video because the thing was so stable on its feet ,strange things coming in the future and I don't think I like the many possibilities at hand now that stability is basically conquered

I don't want my robot butler doing backflips with the coffee :sadeyes:


Yes, pretty amazing. And more frequently their video clips show the robots disconnected from umbilicals - internally powered (well for the length of the clip anyway) and transmitting data to the technicians by wireless or bluetooth or whatever.
