This model of Atlas will likely be “stronger, with a broader range of motion than” any of its earlier variations, the corporate stated
In this fast-growing world, the place robotic know-how can be changing into part of individuals’s lives at an identical tempo, American engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics unveiled the following technology of its humanoid Atlas robotic on Wednesday.
“The next generation of the Atlas program builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch and now with Atlas,” Boston Dynamics stated.
It stated that within the months and years forward, it’ll present “what the world’s most dynamic humanoid robot can really do,” not simply within the lab, however within the manufacturing unit and in individuals’s lives.
This model of Atlas will likely be “stronger, with a broader range of motion than” any of its earlier variations. In one of many demonstration movies on Boston Dynamics’ web site, it may be seen that the earlier technology, hydraulic Atlas robotic might heavy raise and transfer a variety of objects.
Collaborating with Hyundai, it’s going to “test and iterate Atlas applications over the next few years”.
Sharing a video of the brand new robotic on X, Boston Dynamics wrote, “We promise this is not a person in a bodysuit.”
In the video, the robotic may be seen folding its knees over its physique and will get up, the view seems to be like one straight out of a horror sci-fi film. Then it stands up, twists itself 180 levels and walks close to to the digicam, then walks away.
Reacting to the corporate’s new submit concerning the robotic, netizens expressed their ideas in a number of methods. One of the customers wrote, “BD: ‘we need to make it look friendly and humanoid’. Also BD: ‘make it stand up like he needs an exorcism’.”
“You guys need to rewatch terminator,” one other person wrote referring to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film. One different person wrote, “Might not be a person in a suit but it still looks creepy.”
Another individual wrote, “Someone has been watching a lot of #LostInSpace at @BostonDynamic.”
