  • For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date.

When Atlas is being fixed he says “It’s okay robot!” And cheers “He’s all better!” when repairs are done. Atlas has helped my little guy see that you can fall, and it might hurt, but friends are there to help, and you can try again, and jump again, and dance. Thank you “Mr. Falling Robot”. You did a lot for a little boy who thought he was too broken to be fixed, but now knows that he can do anything.

    I was in my first year of MechE degree when Atlas did the back-flip landing. Our introductory course's instructor had us watch the video in the class as well. I did minor in Mechatronics and graduated from MechE. I am still in the process of MSc. in robotics.
    As the years passed and I gained more experience, behaviors, accuracy and the sheer talent of the Atlas did not became more familiar or easy-looking for me but the exact opposite. Now, as an engineer who worked on UAVs, USVs, UGVs and some other robots, I can only realize how hard was it to create something like Atlas.
    Nowadays, it is not hard to work with robots as many rely on open source libraries. Unlike them, pioneers in robotics are the ones who has to make the clean sheet designs. Atlas definitely was the product of such people. As in the legends, Atlas carried the world of advanced humanoid robotics on its shoulders. It was not a robot but The Robot which is very hard.
    Kudos to everyone who worked on such a robot which surely inspired many...

      @@sydneywaffa I think its both. Up till the point where the software thinks the robot may be able to recover its intentionally trying to mimic a human, its swinging limbs to influence its center of gravity to try to regain balance like humans do because that's what we've been trained to do since we started walking and we're inherently good at it as a result. It also through the process of elimination is just what is best via physics.
      The difference, but still intentional is the fetal position it clearly attempts to enter once it realizes it no longer has a chance of recovering itself. I think this serves two reasons, one to minimize damage. It doesn't have to worry about bruises, its head, or its spine like we do, so a ball to spread forces across as much of its chassis as possible is best, plus it minimizes the chances of losing a limb, a very real possibility as the video has shown. The second reason I would guess has to do with safety for the human operators, you don't want a flailing robot attempting more and more extreme limb movements to clonk poor Joey on the nose.

      @ChrisCypher Před 13 dny +10

      It looks like it's possibly designed to tuck inward when an error is detected to reduce injury to limbs. Same as with people. That's probably part of what makes it appear similar. The rest is just physics.

      You see how unfunny it is when you try to extend the joke, but fail because you're just repeating the exact same format without adding any clever twist or new layer to the original joke? It's like hearing a good punchline and then someone repeats a similar thing but just changes the numbers. There's no originality and it doesn't even push the joke further in a creative way. Do better next time.

    Your robots are extraordinary or rather, congratulations to your entire excellent team for designing these fascinating machines. I am surprised to feel discomfort, compassion, when I observe them miss a trick or a hose gives way. Extraordinary work! Sincerely thank you for your dedication. Good luck and wish you continued success in pushing the limits of the unimaginable.😉

    This is a great compilation of what truly engineering a cutting edge project entails. Showing its failures is something most companies won’t ever show the public. Taking those failures and using them as an empirical learning experience is integral to innovation

      The fails are entertaining and shows the win of working human like reactions. These really ain't failures.

    Do not abandon Atlas development!!! Oh my god I'm crying. I've been following every video for probably a decade now since I was a teenager. Literally, inspired me to study engineering and robotics. I hope to god that this only means there's a new electric Atlas in development. A full abandonment would be devastating. You are the only company that has pursued truly dynamic humanoid robotics (also implied in your name). I would hate to see that lost.

      The title indicates "HD Atlas", I hope they are developing an electric one and will show it shortly. Atlas is so inspiring and fantastic that it is also a reason why I study legged robot.
