With Incredible New Obstacle-Clearing Skills And Movements That Are Difficult To Execute Even For Humans, The Atlas Robot Raised The Question Of A Possible “Revolution Of The Machines” In The Near Future
People Fear That An Inevitable Robot Uprising Could Happen At Any Moment, But They Might Find Some Comfort In The Fact That, Although The Robots Themselves May Be Strong, Tireless, And Impervious To Pain, They Are Still Very Clumsy. They Have Difficulty Detecting Obstacles And Have Only Recently Mastered The Art Of Climbing Stairs. Or, At Least, We Could Have Found Some Small Comfort In This Until Yesterday(10).
Of Course, We Are Referring To The Recently Released Footage Of Atlas, The Invention Of The Secret Robotics Company Boston Dynamics, Which Shows Atlas Skillfully Navigating Obstacles In A Form Of Parkour (Parkour!). If You Were Hoping That Elevation Or A Complicated Ascent Would Be Enough To Protect You From Atlas’s Wrath, Think Again.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
People Were Quick To Point Out The Terminator As The Technology’s Implications, Including A Particularly Representative Tweet From Podcast Host And Popular Twitter User Patrick Monahan.
2017: Haha that robot can do a backflip
2018: Haha now the robot can do parkour
2019: Okay, maybe we don’t need robots that know how to use guns?

Atlas Is One Of The Most Sophisticated Humanoid Robots In The World, Designed To Navigate Situations And Landscapes Designed To Accommodate Humans. It Can Right Itself And Get Up When It Falls, And Carry Up To 11 Kilograms, According To The Boston Dynamics Website.
When Atlas Last Appeared On The Internet, It Was Not As Agile As It Is Now, But It Was Still Quite Impressive. In The Viral Video From Last November, Atlas Performed A Backflip Followed By A Similarly Intimidating Lunge.
Although Atlas Does Not Yet Have Many Real-World Applications At This Time, Boston Dynamics Is Working Hard To Find Industrial Applications For Its Vision, Imposing Robots, Incredibly Agile Robots, Especially In Construction. On Thursday, The Company Also Released Some New Footage Of SpotMini, A Puppy-Like Robot Being Trained To Navigate Construction Sites.
