With a stylized celebration to celebrate at the end.
Boston Dynamics has done it once again. After demonstrating the extreme capabilities of its bipedal robot, Atlas, flawlessly executing parkour tricks, the company has now released a video where you will fall in love with the robot for doing what one hates the most—climbing down from a high platform or ladder to get the tool you need.
It is not just about the robot being able to grasp two different types of objects using the same grasp but also factoring in what happens when it is carrying the object with him. After picking up the bag, the robot turns and gets into a short sprint to reach the platform, and this is where it needs to account for the laws of physics. As it jogs to the platform, Atlas needs to ensure that the extra cargo it is not carrying does not tip him over since his momentum has now changed.
More importantly, Tesla is looking to develop the Optimus at a large scale, making it inexpensive enough for it to be owned by an average household. Even though Atlas may not be designed for household use, Boston Dynamics will surely see it eating into application areas of Atlas as well. Made using parts that can be mass-produced, Optimus is expected to cost less than US$20,000, about 75 percent lesser than what competitor robots cost.
It is unlikely that we will ever see Atlas and Optimus in a Robot-Wars setting or even a dance competition. Still, slowly and surely, these robots will try and mimic other human capabilities too. That future does not seem very far away.
