Boston Dynamics, a robotics leader, introduced the Atlas robot, which uses electricity instead of hydraulics. This new model has a sleeker design than previous versions and stands out for its parkour capabilities. The company has spent years perfecting Atlas’ bipedal balancing technology and claims designed the robot for real-world applications.
Boston Dynamics’ new electric Atlas robot is the latest in a line of humanoid robots the company has been working on for over a decade. The new Atlas replaces the previous hydraulic model and is reportedly stronger and more agile.
The electric Atlas designed specifically with industrial applications in mind. Moreover, Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics said the robot will be tested in next-generation vehicle manufacturing technologies and demonstrate its capabilities in months.
The new electric version of Atlas has a wider range of motion and is more powerful than previous models. Furthermore, the company says it is working on new gripper systems for Atlas to meet a variety of commercial needs and aims to use the robot for tedious, dirty and dangerous tasks.
