Now Atlas also makes parkour (and more and more impression)

Today Atlas is able to use the whole body (arms, legs and torso) to perform a series of highly advanced dynamic maneuvers.

Remember Atlas, the anthropomorphic robot created by Boston Dynamics, already developers of the legendary BigDog?

The continuous improvements to which Atlas is constantly subjected have produced increasingly advanced versions: the android slowly began to balance itself, then to walk, then to jump.

Today he is able to use his entire body (arms, legs and torso) to perform a series of very advanced dynamic maneuvers. Today, more than ever, it is astonishing to see a machine moving more and more like a well-trained human being.

Take a look at the sequence of movements - it's impressive

Faster

The latest improvements stem from new techniques that have accelerated development processes.

First among all an optimization algorithm capable of transforming the “description” of a maneuver (a sort of musical score) into real actions performed by Atlas.

Secondly, a new predictive model that allows Atlas to link the various actions together in a coherent and conservative way, as a natural person would instinctively.

Using these new approaches, Atlas' routine has become faster than ever, allowing a maneuvering efficiency of 80%.

Every 10 movements, in other words, Atlas makes 2 mistakes. One day he will do everything perfectly, and it will be then that I will ask him to take the next step: go and throw paper and cardboard in my place.
