Atlas The Robot

Hello, just wanted to share a neat little video with y'all.

In case you missed "it" the last time, Atlas the robot is back again with another video. This time performing some parkour movements as it leaps from side to side, exhibiting some very human-like (and a bit frightening) behavior. If life imitates art, how long do you think before we're living out The Terminator in real time? Lol..

All jokes aside, that is quite impressive. I can only imagine the potential.


Oh why hello, Atlas!

It does have a beautiful name. I almost called it a "him" until I realized it might not even have a gender.

Interesting thread my friend!

This machine definitely meets me in the Uncanny Valley zone.

Hope you're having a good one!

Nothing like a pleasure model that can accidentally rip your head off.

Until DARPA and the Military Industrial Complex equips it with machine guns and other deadly weapons *shrugs*

Hi!

Yes it is very uncanny, lets just hope it doesn't somehow end up in the wrong hands.

Hope all is well with you, my friend!

uhm....and a powerful battery

a reply to: knowledgehunter0986

I wonder if it would be able to do a track like that on its own by reading its surroundings.
Or it can only do programmed movements according to a planned rute.
Programmed work robots are nothing new.. to the world, been around since the 1980´s


I am not convinced we will ever see true A.I because its just clever programming.

a reply to: knowledgehunter0986

I wonder how many genders progressive robots will have...

Not to be rude, but I posted a thread concerning this topic TWO DAYS AGO. Doesn't anyone use the search engine before posting threads?
