In a farewell gesture, the Hyundai-owned company showcased Atlas for a final time in a video shared on its YouTube channel.After nearly 11 years of service, the US robotics firm has decided to retire the robot. The Hyundai-owned company showed off Atlas one last time in a farewell video posted on its YouTube channel.
In its initial iteration, Atlas measured six feet and two inches in height and weighed 330 pounds . Over the years, Boston Dynamics has refined Atlas’s design, witnessing its evolution as it effortlessly hops, jumps, twirls, and even tosses around tool bags with grace and agility. Atlas uses advanced control algorithms that empower it to strategically plan intricate whole-body movements and seamlessly adapt to its surroundings.
Despite actively participating in simulated construction sites and undertaking basic factory tasks, Atlas appeared to be transitioning toward practical work applications in its later years.
