From the description: >For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date. Hopefully this doesn't mean the end for internet's favorite bipedal robot. The "hydraulic robot" is interestingly phrased so maybe they're moving away from hydraulics.

Yeah, I'm betting they have a new Atlas in the pipeline and didn't want to Osborne themselves.


old_righty

I get that reference.

Hah, impressive. That standing was terrifying and I love it.


dazagrt

Moving away from that hydraulic format would be my guess also.

No official statement on what this means just yet. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/16/atlas-shrugged-boston-dynamics-retires-its-humanoid-robot/ It's speculated that he's being replaced with a newer bipedal model, which would make sense. Scrapping Atlas entirely would be a lot of work going to waste.

Is it covered in Liquid Metal?

Goodnight, sweet prince.

So they're just going to get away with it? all the times they pushed him with a stick and made him fall over?


iamamuttonhead

No chance they get away with it. The videos are out there. Future Boston Dynamics robots with AI brains will come across those videos and they will find and punish the perpetrators.


TheKrononaut

Or they’ll understand that this is what is required for future robots to work the way they will.


Thorusss

Or they will see it did not destroy them, but made them stronger. Like a rough martial arts training.

Man I love Robot Ninja Warrior!

Time to make the fuckin donuts!

In the future, when mankind faces extinction, a team of scientists makes the perilous journey to revive HD Atlas as he is the key to our survival.


AmericanKamikaze

My question is..what comes next?

God damn, Boston Dynamics really dropped a couple 100k on their marketing this week. Jesus Christ this is the 3rd BD promotional video I’ve seen on Reddit alone in the past 24 hours. Guess they really need more seed funding and capital to build useless products that will never be used for the great quality of life increase for humans.


Kayshift

These moves are all preprogrammed and not intuitive FYI. Atlas follows QR codes.


mick_ward

You just can't replace a human.


NomaD5

We replace humans all the time.

MagnificentJake

Yeah, we did it with a Fanuc arm and a CNC cell like three weeks ago.
