Boston Dynamics’ All-Electric Humanoid Atlas ****** With Advanced Movement Capabilities Unveiled

Boston Dynamics unveiled the next generation of its humanoid Atlas ****** on Wednesday. The announcement came just a day after the company retired the hydraulic Atlas ******. The new Atlas is fully electric and comes with several upgrades over the predecessor, including a superhuman range of motion. In a video, the slender and more athletic ****** was shown moving in ways that defy human anatomy. The robotics giant claims it will be able to lift and manoeuvre a wide variety of objects.

, Boston Dynamics introduced the electric Atlas ****** designed for real-world applications. Based on the demo, the new ****** now has an entirely different design. It no longer possesses a heavy torso plate or carries a wider upper body. The new Atlas has a slender, metallic torso, longer and straighter limbs, no externally connected cables, and a ring light circling its head.

The demo begins with Atlas lying on the ground. As it boots up, the humanoid ****** twists and folds its legs backwards over its body and then stands up as it twists its waist by 180 degrees as if a creature from a sci-fi horror movie. In the next few moments, it rotates its head a couple of times showcasing its head that appears to be a large camera lens and walks away taking straighter and concise strides.

In less than a minute, the video demonstrated that the new Atlas ****** is not only more agile and flexible, it might also potentially move heavier objects given its larger limbs. Explaining its vision, Boston Dynamics said in a

, “We designed the electric version of Atlas to be stronger, more dexterous, and more agile. Atlas may resemble a human form factor, but we are equipping the ****** to move in the most efficient way possible to complete a task, rather than being constrained by a human range of motion.”

Currently, the electric Atlas is in testing and it will stay that way for the next few years. In this *******, the company plans to explore multiple new gripper variations to enable the ****** to perform a diverse set of tasks. The testing phase will include a limited number of customers, with Hyundai being the first in the line.
