Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time Jan 5 at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.
"For the first time ever in public, please welcome Atlas to the stage,” said Boston Dynamics' Zachary Jackowski as a life-sized robot with two arms and two legs picked itself up from the floor at a Las Vegas hotel ballroom.
