Robotics company Boston Dynamics has released a new video of its Atlas humanoid robot, which now performs tasks without human intervention.
in video posted in a futuristic laboratory – you can see how a robot performs mechanical physical tasks with ease and without the help of human operators.
A bag of bolts moves engine covers between supplier bins and while navigating a mobile sequencing cart — simulating what it would be like to work in a factory, according to the video’s caption.
The company emphasized that the humanoid is “fully autonomous” and uses a machine learning vision model to adapt to changing conditions.
The video features footage of what Atlas sees as it performs its tasks – revealing a somewhat fish-eye field of view that includes dedicated recognition of the objects it’s working with.
“There are no assigned or remote movements; all movements are generated autonomously online. The robot is able to detect changes in the environment and react to them,” explained Boston Dynamics engineers.
Earlier this month, Boston Dynamics unveiled Atlas, whose head vaguely resembles a Pixar lamp.
According to Boston Dynamics, Atlas is intended for commercial use and works with “real-world applications.” In the video, the connected worker demonstrates that it can be fully functional if only given a “list of trash locations.”
This new version of Atlas is also now fully electric, allowing for a wider range of motion than previous generations of humanoids, the company said. said on their website.
This all-electric model is a departure from previous versions that operated with hydraulics.

Social networks called Atlas creepy, in particular, in a video posted on Xthe robot stands up, tucking its legs behind its head, stands up and turns its body, reorienting its spine.
This new discovery of progress comes after Elon Musk’s Tesla unveiled a new Optimus humanoid robot.
At an opening ceremony earlier this month, Optimus models pulled pings and mingled with the guests in shocking conversational tones – partly because “the bots were remotely controlled by people.
The Post reports that experts say it will be a decade before the robots are released and functioning in society.
