Boston Dynamics, a leader in the robotics industry, has announced the retirement of its well-known hydraulic Atlas robot. The company has unveiled a new generation humanoid robot to replace it. The all-electric Atlas is designed for real-world applications and is touted to be stronger, more nimble, and more agile than its predecessor.
In a blog post, Boston Dynamics mentioned that all the data collected over the past decade has been used to develop this new version of Atlas. This includes data on movement capabilities and human-like mobility. The new Atlas is designed to exceed the range of motion of a human, showcasing impressive and slightly disturbing movement capabilities in a video released by Boston Dynamics.
The company’s decision to focus on efficiency and versatility in movement sets this new generation of Atlas apart from previous iterations. With its ability to move in the most efficient way possible to complete any task at hand, this new version of Atlas is poised to revolutionize the robotics industry and change how we interact with robots in our daily lives.
