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.
