Boston Dynamics Atlas Gets a Grip

Atlas assists at a simulated job site, Boston Dynamics engineers continue to push the humanoid robot one step closer to performing real-world manipulation tasks at human speed.

 

It’s time for Atlas to pick up a new set of skills and get hands on. In this video, the humanoid robot manipulates the world around it: Atlas interacts with objects and modifies the course to reach its goal—pushing the limits of locomotion, sensing, and athleticism.

 

Inside the Lab: Taking Atlas From Sim to Scaffold

Inside the Lab: How does Atlas recognize and interact with objects? How do we develop new Atlas behaviors? Why is manipulation important for the future of robotics?
