Give the name of Atlas, it is known for its ability to perform human tasks and typically has a new version. The new robot from Boston Dynamics, a US company owned by Google, was presented on Wednesday at a launch video and shows an impressive development of the machine at various levels.
After a first version not so successful in the previous month, in which the robot appeared awkward and tangled in numerous wires, behold, now comes a new generation Atlas with a hardware more agile and organized.
the machine does not press for his design , but what they can do – at the launch of the video we can see that all the tasks assigned to it are completed successfully
the new version begins by demonstrating an uncanny ability to locomotion and balance on uneven terrain such as snow. It is still able to lift weights and open deftly thirst door Boston Dynamics, Mass.
And then, in a classic customary in videos of the American company, we see a technician to “torture” Atlas, hitting him with a stick hockey and ending later by knocking it. When he’s on the floor, and even after subjected to a brave session bullying , the machine shows that it is able to stand unaided and put up quickly standing on its robotic legs.
Unlike its predecessor, this Atlas is fully self-contained and wireless operated electrically. As for his weight and height values are identical to an adult human – 80 kilos in weight, 1.80 meters high – but smaller than the previous version
Designed initially for the Agency. Research Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA in English acronym) for use in robotic competitions, the robot is now designed to further explore dangerous areas and situations of natural disasters, and is getting closer to the final version.
This is just one of the creations of Boston Dynamics. The company, which was acquired in 2013 by Google, has other robotic creations like the Big Dog a “robot dog” that is designed to carry loads in military situations.
