Boston Dynamics JUST Revealed New Fully Electric Atlas Robot!

#NeuralNetworks #ai
Before our very eyes, an entire era is slipping away. Boston Dynamics has bid farewell to the iconic robot, Atlas. In a video released on Tuesday, Boston Dynamics announced the retirement of its humanoid robot, Atlas, but not without a nostalgic look back at its remarkable journey, showcasing both its remarkable achievements and amusing mishaps.

"After nearly a decade, Atlas has ignited our imaginations, inspired future generations of roboticists, and pushed technical boundaries in the field," reads the video caption. "Now, it's time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to take a well-deserved break. Let's reminisce about all that we've accomplished with the Atlas platform thus far."

This announcement also signifies a change in Atlas's accessibility to the public. While Boston Dynamics initially developed Atlas for research purposes and had no plans for commercial sale, the company revealed on Wednesday that a newer iteration of the humanoid robot would eventually be made available for purchase.

But just as we were preparing to say our goodbyes, Boston Dynamics surprised robotics enthusiasts everywhere with a fresh generation of Atlas robots, crafted in collaboration with Hyundai. However, the excitement doesn't end there. Rocos unveiled a captivating video showcasing Boston Dynamics' Spot robot herding sheep, inspecting crops, and simply enjoying a leisurely moment in the grass.

Furthermore, Mentee Robotics wowed the world with the debut of their first prototype—a humanoid robot with two legs, capable of comprehending human speech and learning from interactions. These groundbreaking developments and more were compiled into a single video, marking a significant moment in the realm of high-tech innovation.

The retirement of the beloved Atlas robot, after captivating audiences for 11 years with its dazzling performances and acrobatic feats, marks the conclusion of an era. Developed by Boston Dynamics for a US Department of Defense competition in 2013, Atlas failed to garner the same level of interest as its robotic counterparts, such as the dog-like Spot and avian warehouse worker.
