What's new, Atlas?

What have you been up to lately, Atlas?

[brownguy]

Remember when atlas was a cute Lil robot with limited limb movements?

Well now, now he does parkour.

[v-]

The way it balances itself after the backflip, so human.

[Striveofficial]

It's cool now but in 20 years when it breaks through your window and steals all your AAA batteries no one's gonna be smiling.

[chainchompsrule]

Whoever programmed the robot to celebrate a successful backflip deserves a promotion.

[Ryan_Parmelee]

The amount of engineering, physics, and computer science that went into making this amazes me.

[pesterenan]

The bloopers reel at the end is for us to laugh now, because soon enough they will be back flipping above our corpses... j/k xD

[ricardojackson]

Cool robots are already doing something I can't do backflips.

2018 - "hey, what's up, Atlas!"
2030 - "Atlas, please don't kill me! Put down that gun!"

[siraaj]

It’s really sad that people think this is fake

[chillnation]

why can this robot do backflips & I can't

[Xpzilla]

The fact that it jumped even once is mindblowing to me

[Liboo]

I love how in fiction when an invention fails a task, mad scientists dramatically curse and freak out.But on the last jump when atlas falls on its face you can hear someone break into laughter.(I’m assuming it’s an engineer)

[kevinharmon]

A backflip?? Watch out guys Atlas's next trick is gonna be stealin yo girl

[SavvyStrings]

Watching atlas do that backflip just over 3 years ago is what finally helped me understand how to do them myself.

[GryffDavid]

A Boston Dynamics engineer saw a comment 6 years ago on PETMAN that said, "This is lame. Make it do a backflip" and he took is personally.

[Firealarm]

This robot is literally fucking better at life than me

[Colin-quxz]

Trying to imagine the amount of math, trial and error, and time it took to get to this point, is completely mindblowing to me.

[enzov]

I don’t normally react to videos but when I first saw this when Atlas did that backflip I audibly went “oh shit”

[barneybircher]

Robots can back-flipping while Youtube app still cannot work background...

[jeffthesnail]

So Professor, what’s your biggest ambition in advancing humanity?

Backflipping robot.
