Boston Dynamicsone of the leading robotics companies in the technology industry, has given new features to one of its flagship products: the humanoid robot. Atlas. Although this machine could already perform a wide variety of activities, such as dancing and even parkour, the company has improved it so that it is able to hold objects with its hands and even throw them at various targets.
As seen in the demo recorded by the company and uploaded to their official channel YouTube, Atlas he picks up the suitcase and carries it through a fictional construction site. The robot can carry things like pieces of wood or tool bags so it can be moved to other designated locations.
New skill set for Atlas
Work Boston Dynamics to improve your humanoid robot is worth considering as the person who should get all the utensils is at the top of the scaffolding so his arrival point is tricky. To do this, Atlas places the board as a bridge, climbs a ladder, and finally drops the object before performing a 540-degree inverted rotation.
According to Ben StevensAtlas controls the leader, the most recent movements that this humanoid robot has been endowed with represent a natural progression of his development, which is still ongoing. “Parkour and dancing were interesting examples of extreme locomotion. Now we’re trying to take advantage of this research to do some meaningful manipulation.”he mentioned.
While the new features may be less flashy than the previous ones, the truth is that the degree of difficulty is the same or even more so than their predecessors. engineers from Boston Dynamics indicate that manipulative tasks require understanding the nuances of the environment, detecting nearby elements, and proper balance so that the robot does not fall. “It is important for us that the robot can perform these tasks at a certain human speed,” indicates Stevens.
Atlas will help people in the future
Now that this new demo is available, Boston Dynamics and his humanoid robot Atlas they predict a future in which these machines will be able to work and help people solve increasingly complex problems. However, that reality is still a long way off, as the company has yet to achieve its ultimate goal of building a robot that can go anywhere and do anything.
“Our hope is that if we can create an underlying technology that allows us to easily create and adapt dynamic behaviors like this, we can use it in the future to perform real, physically demanding tasks quickly.”said Scott Quindersmagroup leader Atlas in Boston Dynamics.
