Boston Dynamics, a leading robotics company, has unveiled its latest creation: a new generation humanoid robot to replace its well-known Atlas hydraulic robot. Over the past decade, data collected from the Atlas’s development was used to create the all-electric Atlas robot, designed for real-world applications and to work alongside humans.
In a blog post, Boston Dynamics revealed that the new Atlas is stronger, more agile and efficient in its movements than its predecessor. The design of the next generation Atlas focuses on surpassing human range of motion capabilities, as demonstrated in a video showcasing the robot’s impressive and somewhat unsettling movements.
Unlike its predecessor, the new Atlas is built to move in the most efficient way possible with enhanced agility and capabilities. This advancement in robotics technology showcases Boston Dynamics’ continued innovation in creating robots that can seamlessly integrate into real-world settings and collaborate with humans.
