Did your jaw drop the last time you saw Boston Dynamics’ Atlas bring a tool bag to a person working on a scaffold and complete a parkour obstacle course? Well, don’t be shocked because your worst nightmare about humanoid robots is not that. It has just begun. On Tuesday, Boston […]
Boston Dynamics Atlas, the bipedal humanoid, has come a long way. From the basics of walking on two, it has been taught to let itself out by opening the door, and for the longest time, it has been perfecting its parkour skills. Now, the humanoid has finally been taught a […]
Boston Dynamics’ bipedal humanoid robot, Atlas, is destined to be the next big (robot) thing after Spot. Atlas is even more capable now after letting itself out of the door.

If you haven’t been keeping up with Boston Dynamics’ development… Hyundai has, earlier this month, became the third owner of the company. Also, the agility of the family of robots from the robotic company, namely Atlas, Spot and Handle, is mind-blowing.
You saw Adam Savage made it do rickshaw duty. You have seen it patrolling the park of Singapore to keep social distancing in check and you have seen it worked as a pack to haul a truck. And now, it is finally available for sale.
You know in some apocalyptic movies, they have scenes of drones keeping people indoors (for whatever reasons)? Fortunately, we are not there, yet. Though, it is kind of happening in China and now, in Singapore.
