Boston Dynamics Has Just Released New Videos Of How Its Atlas Bipedal Robots Work. In The First Video, Two Atlas Robots Demonstrate Gymnastics And Parkour.

Atlas Boston Dynamics, The execution of these movements by robots is extremely spectacular and attractive. 

The second video examines in detail the capabilities of these robots, and the company’s engineers explain how to create the steps needed to perform their movements.

According to Boston Dynamics, Atlas robots are actually a research project. These advanced robots help the company’s engineers design better control and awareness systems. 

Atlas Senior Designer Benjamin Stephens said the project is a platform for research and development. Robot gymnastics and parkour movements have also been part of this research, which has attracted the attention of many Internet users.

However, some robotics experts have criticized Boston Dynamics for misleading users about the capabilities of their robots. 

The published videos of these robots are amazing, but they have been carefully designed and adjusted all the steps performed. You can not see them performing gymnastic movements just by giving them instructions. Benjamin Stephens also mentions this in the second video.

Boston Dynamics engineers have also provided more details on how these robots develop. According to them, Atlas bipedal robots used to perform movements without understanding the environmental conditions. If there were an obstacle in their way, they would have difficulty in performing their tasks. 

But now, these robots have routed themselves using their awareness system and have largely solved this problem.

The new videos show more natural and somewhat human-like movements of the Atlas robots compared to previous videos.

 To better understand this, watch again the 37-second video in which the Atlas robot jumps on the board and regains its balance after a small slip. This move is a kind of simultaneous response that is unplanned.
