Inside the lab: How does Atlas work?

Go behind the scenes at Boston Dynamics with the Atlas Team as we work to train multiple Atlas robots to maneuver their way through our most complex parkour course yet. The team pushes Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.

I would totally watch a 2 hour long documentary about Boston dynamic and their work

Ok ok hear me out, an Atlas failing compilation. I would love that

I really like the battered look on Atlas's body parts. Makes it realer than real and shows you all work super hard to get the bots so far.

The fact that people think it is CGI really shows how amazing it is

[bigrob]

Make this a series. I'd watch the hell out of that

[akkanhukuk]

Dear Boston Dynamics employees, you cannot imagine how much of an inspiration you are to us ordinary people . Thanks

[sinlokemp]

We want a full length documentary on Atlas from beginning to present day. Been following Boston Dynamics for years and it's been very exciting to see the progress.

The movement is so fluid now! Been checking in on you guys for years, Atlas is really REALLY a giant leap. Beautiful work!

"we are building the core capabilities we think every robot will need"
The robot: * does a backflip *

2:10 Love they included the clips of failure alongside the success. Congrats team!

[aesbj]

Wow that fluid leak felt like watching something graphic

Can Crystal Kemp (Electrical Engineering Technician) tell us what “The Magic Stick” at about 3:33 is used for? - if it is not an industrial secret! 😃

[CypHiLL]

I absolutly LOVE these "behind the scenes" stuff. All the hard work, the failures, achievments and of course finally the success. Could watch that all day long! Inspiring 😍

The falls make the robot seem so much more real. In my mind, it’s hard to comprehend a robot that can run that parkour course flawlessly

[adam]

this just makes me appreciate how sick the human body actually is

[marquesghm]

This is one of the most important videos that I had seen on this channel: The process. Congrats!

[liangzhao]

Now the robots even fall like humans... You guys should add a speaker for them to yell "sh*t" or "F**k" when they fall.

[baranorak]

What interests me most is how human-like Atlas looks in all of its moves. Even when it loses its balance, it acts exactly like a person would in that situation. Amazing, simply amazing!

[ianwatson]

I love this video, especially the part about the technicians and their involvement in saving the day when things go wrong. The technicians role is often ignored and I really enjoyed seeing the struggle and a glimpse of their process in repairing problems with the robot. Thumbs up for the robotics technicians!

The Atlas robots reminds me of watching sci fi robot movies, like the 2004 I. Robot movie.
