More small and agile. So is the new version of the Atlas robot – Daily News – Lisbon

Arranges boxes, catch volumes from the floor and walks on unstable surfaces.

It’s a big improvement on the first version of Atlas, launched three years ago by Boston Dynamics, now owned by Alphabet, namely Google. The robot has been improved and shows a video released today, is much more responsive

The Atlas, which measures 1.75 meters and weighs 81 kilograms. – Thus the equivalent of a human being – is much more independent and beautiful.

the design is not as rustic, but what really stands out is what this robot is capable of doing. Walks in such an unstable snow, arranges boxes on shelves, gathering volumes from the floor (until when man disturbs and deviates from its path) and can stand up when it is pushed.

Boston Dynamics explains that Atlas has sensors around the body that allow you to maintain balance and other in the head, which give you the ability to avoid obstacles.

This robot is designed to, in the future, exploring dangerous areas, as debris in disaster situations and is getting closer to its final version.
