Meet Atlas: The New All-Electric Humanoid Robot from Boston Dynamics

The electric version of Atlas will be stronger, more flexible and with a wider range of motion than previous generations

After announcing the recall of its hydraulic Atlas this week, the humanoid robot that went viral and left thousands of people on the Internet wondering, Dynamics Boston bringing good news. The American company, which specializes in building robots, has just been presented A new atlas: a humanoid robot fully electric and updatedwhich will be designed for real-world applications and will be feasible solve the most difficult, dirty and dangerous tasks of the business.

To begin this journey, Boston Dynamics to partner with Hyundai, among other innovative clients they will be working with over the next few years. The team at the popular automaker, which is also the largest in South Korea, is developing the next generation of automotive capabilities. automobile manufacturingwhich will be A testing ground for new Atlas applications.

At this point, we know that The electric version of Atlas will be stronger, more flexible and with a wider range of motion the previous generations. If the last generation of the hydraulic Atlas (HD Atlas) was able to lift and move a wide variety of heavy materials with irregular shapes, they are now trying to find out. differences in handling grippers to go one step further.
