The Google company managed to make a robot capable of releasing, jumping and working. People are afraid of the future!

[supsystic-social-sharing id='1′]The company specializing in the creation of robots, Boston Dynamics, was bought in 2017 by the monstrous Google. To celebrate this acquisition, on November 16th, a new prototype based on the Atlas robot was shown to the world. In this version, he can leap, jump, and do precise back and forth somersaults. You still don't believe? Watch the video below of the Atlas published on Youtube:

Let's agree that doing stunts at this level is already difficult for anyone, just with a lot of training and physical conditioning that few do. In the case of Atlas, just a few programs with a specific algorithm already solves the problem in a matter of minutes. But there are still some technical difficulties to be solved, which are already being overcome as the studies progress.

Until then, the robot is configured to perform simple tasks with characteristics of a common worker, such as picking up and carrying boxes. Following the developers of the machine, jumps and other stunts was an update to better develop the balance system.

The robot weighs about 75 kg and belongs to the 3rd generation of a pro type that weighed an incredible 375 kg, what a difference, right? This was thanks to 3d printer technology, which made it possible to make lighter parts, promoting agility gains and more flexible parts. Remembering that when Boston Dynamics was conceived, its purpose was to develop military weapons. As she is highly expert in robotics, Google ended up buying her because she saw the futuristic potential of this technology. Many are against and others in favor. And you, what do you think of robots that do everything better than humans?
