Boston Dynamics has provided us with many impressive videos over the years, and the company is back with the latest examples of its robot mastery. In the clip above, its Atlas robot shows several types of full-body movements, starting with a walk, advancing to a trolley or even a breakout dance position. Different actions were formulated using reinforcement learning using motion capture and animation as source materials. At this speed, our future robot overlords will be able to surpass our humans and one day be able to stay away from us.
The video is part of the Boston Institute of Dynamics and Robotics Research, but it has multiple partners helping it out. For example, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang involved in the company’s GR00T model Earlier this week. Yesterday, Boston News Announce It is deepening its collaboration with companies focused on robotic AI. It is using NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor computing platform to run “complex multi-mode AI models that work seamlessly with Boston Dynamics’ full-body and manipulation controllers.”
