Boston Dynamics has unveiled an updated version of its famous Atlas bipedal robot, in a much more dexterous, agile, fully electric and autonomous form. It will shortly be tested in an automotive plant. The aim is to be able to market it on a large scale in a few years' time.
Boston Dynamics has drawn on a decade of experimentation to develop a new version of its humanoid robot, now 100% electric and fully operational. The former hydraulic version of Atlas now has been retired to make way for a new, much more dexterous, agile model designed for real-life factory handling and production applications.
