Meet Atlas, the terrifying 6 foot 9, 167 pound humanoid robot that can do BACKFL

[Tony Koretz]

Standing 6 foot 9 and weighing in at 167 pounds, Atlas is a robot that you really don’t want to argue with.

‘Atlas is the latest in a line of advanced humanoid robots we are developing, Boston Robotics said.

‘Atlas keeps its balance when jostled or pushed and can get up if it tips over.’

To stay upright, Atlas has stereo vision, range sensing and other sensors give Atlas the ability to manipulate objects in its environment and to travel on rough terrain.

I find this stuff somewhat creepy. It’s like the sci-fi movies we watched as kids is now becoming reality!

If you have been following the work of Boston Dynamics with these robots, you will see the huge leaps in precision the designers are now making. The movements are becoming much more smooth and natural, soon we will not be able to distinguish between a biological entity and a robotic entities movement. yes I agree Tony very creepy.
