The article discusses Boston Dynamics’ latest humanoid robot, Atlas, which is now fully electric. The new Atlas robot was showcased in a 30-second video where it demonstrated its ability to stand up and move efficiently. This version of Atlas is designed to tackle tough tasks and is part of a partnership with Hyundai, which aims to improve the robot’s capabilities, including lifting heavier objects and enhancing gripper technologies. The previous hydraulic version of Atlas, known for its viral dance moves, has been retired[1].
