New Atlas Robot
The introduction of the new Atlas marks a milestone for Boston Dynamics. This all-electric successor boasts increased strength and a wider range of motion, compared to its predecessor. One notable advancement is its ability to stand up completely from a prone position, a feat that HD Atlas couldn’t achieve.
However, the method by which the new Atlas rises from the ground has raised some eyebrows. Instead of the conventional approach of rolling over and pushing itself up with its arms, the new Atlas employs a novel technique: bending its legs entirely backward, with knee and hip joints rotating nearly all the way around, before pushing itself up as the rest of its body unfurls. This unconventional maneuver, coupled with its eerie backward walking, has sparked discussions online, with some dubbing it “oddly terrifying.”
