Atlas is the latest anthopomorphic robot made by Boston Dynamics, the 'mother' of Big Dog, the disturbing mule-robot soon supplied to American troops.
It was developed to walk on all sorts of terrain, and in this demonstration video it walks without too much difficulty on a bumpy ground while remaining in balance even when pushed to the side by a weight. Futuroprossimo will continue to inform you about Atlas' evolutions until he starts walking like Schwarzenegger with the aim of ending us all.
Joke. Maybe.
