Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot is now a gymnast

The latest footage from Boston Dynamics is,

unsurprisingly, both impressive and terrifying. Over the past few years we’ve seen Atlas navigate uneven terrain and even jump around a parkour course.

This is on another level, though. The bipedal robot does a handstand, rolls around and even does a few jumping twists — all without losing its balance.

A new workflow

helps Atlas pull off these smooth moves while also reducing development time and achieving a performance success rate of about 80 percent.
