  • This April, Boston Dynamics announced the discontinuation of their hydraulic Atlas and introduced the successor, a completely electric Atlas robot engineered for practical applications. The new electric Atlas looks stronger, and more flexible than its predecessors. The forthcoming iteration of the Atlas program is a culmination of more than 11 years of research, reinforcing their dedication to providing the most proficient, beneficial mobile robots that address the most demanding issues in the industry today: with Spot, Stretch, and now, the new Atlas.

    I like that you brought up competitors, but boston dynamic still seems heads and shoulders above everyone else

      I agree, Boston Dynamics are streets ahead of the competition. I mean, how much have learnt by trial and error over the last 11 years with Atlas HD? Everybody else like Figure, Apptronik, UBTech, LimX Dynamics, Sanctuary are just doing catch up... Thanks for the comment! Very much appreciated :)

    I’ve always been impressed with Boston Dynamics and what they’ve been able to accomplish; however, their new Atlas may be a leap forward when it comes to capabilities, but it is also creepy as hell. And not the “uncanny valley” sort of creepy, I’m talking about the “this is how a sci-fi horror movie” begins level of creepy.

    • @CuriousLion-ll2we

    Don't you think it's more efficient to give these robots wheels like Wall-E's?

    • @justcallmebrian793
      @justcallmebrian793 Před 24 dny +4

      Why not legs, since this world is design by humans. Having a wheel robot is very limited! Also Atlas is designed beyond the capabilities of most humans. Boston Dynamics is definitely the head of the part, since they have years of experience of testing the old Atlas.

    • @CuriousLion-ll2we
      @CuriousLion-ll2we  Před 23 dny +2

      I think 1X Technologies have gone this way with their EVE robot but this may limit how versatile the robot can navigate in difficult terrains. It would work well for manufacturing sites with flat surfaces and could simplify the design. That's a good point.

    • @CuriousLion-ll2we
      @CuriousLion-ll2we  Před 23 dny +3

      Replacing hydraulics with electrics was the way to go for Boston Dynamics. Servo motors are slimmer and more intelligent with force sensing feedback these days, it makes it easier to generate smooth movements while packing a punch of torque to carry heavy loads. Everybody else like Figure, Apptronik is just doing catch up with Boston.

      That's true. They have been playing around with SPOT for quite some time now. It will be interesting to see if Boston can integrate the smooth movements of the hydraulic Atlas into the new full electric counterpart.

      With the EV car industry having a wobble at the moment, I think Tesla are trying hard to diversify their market as much as possible before it is too late and file for bankruptcy in 2-3 years at this rate. Optimus looks promising though but they are miles behind Boston Robotics.

      @@CuriousLion-ll2we I've owned a Tesla, and I don't anymore because I don't want one. At first, they were the only ones with a high-range EV and good charging infrastructure. But that's no longer the case and the public is SO OVER the "minimalist design". It's not too much to ask for a speedometer and turn signals directly right in front of the driver, to name just one. And touchscreens are annoying (in ANY car) when a car is in motion. The touchscreen was cute and clever, but gimicky.
      The public wants buttons and knobs, so get over it Elon.
