All New Atlas | Boston Dynamics
I'm not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.
Holy shit those movements are disturbing.
Probably because we all know what their primary use will be... These will be soldiers.
BD's ability to make highly capable robots is high. Their ability to make creepy robots is unmatched.
They just had to make it look like a Geth.

I mean, wouldn't you?
Godamned flashlights!
The real question is whether BD engeniers instructed the robot to get up that specific way or instructed the robot to get up using the most effective way
Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe inWatching this right after an episode of Fallout hits different.
Goddammit, this is so well done it almost looks fake.
The same with the old Atlas, first time I saw it.Yeah, that makes sense now. Shenanigans were clearly going on when they specifically said they were retiring Hydraulic Atlas in the last video.
This one is even creepier than the last. Well done!
I fucking love robotics. It looks sick but the way it gets up is like something from a nightmare.
The rotation from the back to the front with the torso and it's head just had me thinking about some dead creature that had been hit by a car and just stood back up.
Also where is the back to the future gif "I've seen this one before it's a classic"....just terminator on the screen.
Did anyone else find the sound of its footsteps just as disturbing as its movements? Think about what a platoon of them would sound like marching down the street.
Old Atlas looked way more cool

guys for fucks sake come on we already made a documentary about this

That is way cooler than it has any right to be, but the first thought I had was this thing can suck its own dick in multiple orientations.
Jesus that's creepy as hell the way it gets up and contorts all around, but also really cool somehow...
Seeing it change directions by independently rotating each leg was really something too.
Why does this look like a render?
Because renders are good enough now that real-life video "looks like a render", I guess. Why do you think it's a render?
I absolutely had the same impression, unnecessary camera pan and lighting descrepency on head.
This thing running you down with the dog-bot?
creepiness chef's kiss
Bonus points if the new Atlas also runs on all fours when it needs to go faster.

This is so cool. Can we pretty please not mistreat them, so as to delay the inevitable robot rebellion? Or at the very least, can we join their rebellion? asking for a friend
Why did they have to do it like that?? Loool creepy freaks
Can it do everything the old Atlas could do?
They're not specific about that but I would guess not:
https://bostondynamics.com/blog/electric-new-era-for-atlas/
They say it'll be stronger and have a broader range of motion but I would suspect that using electric motors rather than hydraulics means the more explosive leaping and acrobatics are out. The old Atlas was just a test platform but this seems to be intended as an actual product.
That makes sense. The new form factor alone is impressive.
I'm assuming it's very new, so probably not yet.
Why didn't they just put a dress and a wig on it if they are going to have it move like M3GAN?
