Until today, we’ve seen exactly 40 seconds of Boston Dynamics’ new electric Atlas in action. The Hyundai-owned robotics stalwart is very much still in in the early stages of commercializing the biped for factory floors. For now, however, it’s doing the thing Boston Dynamics does second best after building robots: showing off in viral video form.
After debuting a short video of the robot doing push-ups during a recent conference presentation, the company has shared the clip with TechCrunch. While this is in no way an indicator of real-world use, it’s a great demonstration of Atlas’ extremely robust and powerful actuators.
