Editor’s note: watching the evolution of Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot is likely to evoke one of two feelings: surprise at how the machine is becoming more and more human-like in its abilities that can benefit the world, or horror as we look at the first stage of a machine, which could at best take away jobs and at worst enslave us all. In any case, the company’s new video is impressive.
Latest demo video atlas talents illustrates how far the robot has come and the potential for its practical use. The two-legged machine could barely walk when it first arrived. Until 2017, he was engaged in parkour and backflips. A year later, Atlas was running, jumping over logs and leaping from one 40cm step to another, using his legs, arms and torso to control his jumps and balance. In 2019, he switched to full-fledged gymnastics.
As is the case with some of the company’s other robots, the practical application of Atlas has long raised questions. These are answered in the latest Atlas demo video from Boston Dynamics, in which new handles, first seen in a Super Bowl ad, allow a robot to help a (fake) builder.
Watching Atlas taking a 2×8 and using it to create a bridge before moving through the woods while carrying a set of tools is pretty amazing. The robot can also toss a bag to a worker by jumping 180 degrees, completing its display with a 540-degree multi-axis flip, which the project’s engineers called a “sick trick,” which is much more. more advanced than the parkour he had previously demonstrated.
We probably shouldn’t worry about entire construction sites full of Atlas robots just yet: he still makes a lot of mistakes that are cut from these videos. Atlas Controls boss Ben Stevens said researchers were still “a long way off” from creating humanoid robots that could regularly do dirty and dangerous work in the real world.
Boston Dynamics currently sells only two robot models: I stretch, I stretch, used in warehouses to move boxes; and Spot, which is used for a variety of tasks, including monitoring and mapping. With this latest video, Atlas seems to be slowly moving towards finding his ideal profession. Fortunately, Boston Dynamics had previously asked people not to use its robots as weapons.
