Boston Dynamics announced the new Atlas robot line, which can perform movements impossible for humans

The new generation Atlas is many times more flexible than before.

For nearly a decade, the Atlas robot developed by technology company Boston Dynamics has appeared many times in the mass media. Atlas can walk and perform many complex movements, demonstrating the flexibility of the new generation robot.

But no fun lasts forever. Boston Dynamics officially discontinued the HD Atlas robot line , and bid farewell to it with a video showing Atlas' progress.

However, after this fun ended, another fun came. Boston Dynamics officially launched the successor to the HD Atlas, another robot system. also named Atlas. Unlike the HD Atlas that uses hydraulics to move, this version runs entirely on electricity, and continues to be designed to perform real-life tasks.

The new generation Atlas is more flexible than before , even designed by Boston Dynamics to perform movements impossible for humans.

It's still Atlas: the new flexible robot system from Boston Dynamics.

According to official information from Boston Dynamics, the new version of Atlas is integrated with new machine learning and artificial intelligence tools, such as reinforcement learning or machine vision techniques, to operate flexibly in the context of many variables. daily life. Boston Dynamics cooperates with Hyundai to soon bring the new generation Atlas into the production line of the Korean technology corporation.

This flexible version of Atlas continues to demonstrate the trend of developing humanoid robots integrated with artificial intelligence . BMW is already applying this type of robot in production support, and a number of large corporations such as Microsoft, NVIDIA, and OpenAI are all devoting resources to developing humanoid robots.

Not long ago, NVIDIA's CEO, Mr. Jensen Huang, said that producing robots of this type makes sense, because the world we live in was originally built for humans, so robots will be able to quickly 'adapt'. Mr. Huang also commented that humanoid robots will create more jobs.

" This will create jobs, it will make companies more productive ," he said. " When companies become more efficient, their profits improve, or their revenues increase. When that happens, they add more people ."
