Atlas, a new robot designed by Boston Dynamics, is an entirely electric humanoid robot that stands out among its predecessors. With a bright ring for a head and impressive 180-degree turns of his head and torso, Atlas has been designed to perform real-world tasks with ease.
Unlike the previous version of the robot, Atlas has no human-like features and appears more elegant-looking. Despite this, his movements may appear somewhat disturbing to some viewers. However, they showcase his balance and flexibility in performing various tasks. According to Boston Dynamics, Atlas will be deployed at Hyundai’s car factory where he will be tested for new applications.
Boston Dynamics emphasizes that while Atlas may resemble a human form, he has been designed to move in the most efficient way possible to complete tasks. The company aims to showcase Atlas’s unique abilities and flexibility in various real-world scenarios.
