The Boston Dynamics HD Atlas robot is in our minds, especially with its videos of developers kicking it mercilessly. This famous humanoid robot was replaced by the new Atlas robot. The new, fully electric model appeared with a video similar to the scenes we are familiar with from horror movies. Here is the new Atlas robot and its features.
The new Atlas robot, which replaced the HD Atlas robot, and its features
After being sold to Hyundai, Boston Dynamics entered a much faster development process. The HD Atlas project, which has been ongoing for many years, was also shelved in this sense. Although the old robot HD Atlas provided significant improvements for the new Atlas robot, it was quite bulky for a robot. The new Atlas looks like something out of a science fiction movie, at least in terms of appearance.
Although Boston Dynamics did not share information about the new Atlas robot, CEO Robert Playter shared important information. Accordingly, the new Atlas robot has much stronger and more flexible joints than a human or even an athlete. It is impossible not to notice this flexibility and high mobility in the shared video.
shiftdelete.netAmong the new Atlas robot features, Playter explained that the humanoid robot goes beyond anything a human can do. In the video shared here, the new Atlas robot stands upside down on its feet, like something out of the Exorcist movie, and can also turn its head 180 degrees.
Hyundai’s humanoid robot Atlas was fired! Here’s why
Boston Dynamics, owned by Hyundai, fired the humanoid robot Atlas. The company has other plans for robotic technology.
The most striking feature of the new Atlas robot is its more humanoid movements. HD Atlas was moving too slowly or stuttering. The new Atlas robot seems to have much more realistic movements. In terms of dimensions, the HD Atlas robot was quite large and heavy. The renewed Atlas robot is human-sized.
shiftdelete.netThe HD Atlas video shared by Boston Dynamics is also quite heartbreaking. The robot, which entered our lives for the first time in 2013, ended its 11-year adventure as of yesterday. Now, it will be replaced by a much more athletic Atlas robot.
It is expected that Hyundai will use the new Atlas robot much more effectively. Technical details for the new Atlas robot, which has more agile movements, have not yet been revealed. So, what do you think of the new Atlas robot? Could this new humanoid robot open the door to a new era? We are waiting your comments.
