Are humanoid robots bringing the next era of robotics? – Technology News
As the world continues to experiment with Robotics, Boston Dynamics moves a step ahead and launches Atlas, an all-new electric version of its humanoid robot. The company stated that the electric Atlas will move in ways that “exceed human capabilities”. “We designed the electric version of Atlas to be stronger, more dexterous, and more agile. Atlas may resemble a human form factor, but we are equipping the robot to move in the most efficient way possible to complete a task, rather than being constrained by a human range of motion,” blog explained.
