    Parkour Atlas

    Published on Oct 11, 2018

    Atlas does parkour. The control software uses the whole body including legs, arms and torso, to marshal the energy and strength for jumping over the log and leaping up the steps without breaking its pace. (Step height 40 cm.) Atlas uses computer vision to locate itself with respect to visible markers on the approach to hit the terrain accurately.

    Atlas Humanoid walking with straight legs

    Published on Nov 29, 2018

    Atlas humanoid walking with straighter legs. Control algorithm by IHMC Robotics. The height of the robot is left uncontrolled in the whole-body controller, but the knee angles are specified in the null-space of the other task objects. This allows the robot to balance laterally while standing straight up. Published in ICRA 2018, "Straight-Leg Walking Through Underconstrained Whole-body Control."

    IHMC Atlas autonomous path planning across narrow terrain

    Published on May 2, 2019

    Atlas humanoid robot (DRC version) walking across narrow terrain using autonomous planning. The robot senses the terrain with LIDAR and builds a map of planar regions. A path planning algorithm plans footsteps across the planar regions to a goal location, specified by an operator. The robot is currently about 50% successful over this type of terrain. We plan to increase the rate of success by adding balance using angular momentum and by better considering joint ranges of motion. Narrow terrain is difficult due to the need to do some "cross-over" steps, which are tricky due to limited range of motion in the hip joint, and also due to having a small polygon of support when one foot is directly in front of the other. Control, Perception, and Planning algorithms by IHMC Robotics. Atlas robot built by Boston Dynamics. Walking recorded on May 1, 2019.

    The robot is named Atlas and uses a 'path planning algorithm' to trace its route
    Researchers trained Atlas to balance its way across narrow terrain effortlessly
    They used LIDAR, which uses a laser to measure the distance between objects
    The team hope that the technology could be used for bomb squads and rescue missions because of its ability to move through uneven and narrow terrain

    More Parkour Atlas

    Published on Sep 24, 2019

    Atlas uses its whole body -- legs, arms, torso -- to perform a sequence of dynamic maneuvers that form a gymnastic routine. We created the maneuvers using new techniques that streamline the development process. First, an optimization algorithm transforms high-level descriptions of each maneuver into dynamically-feasible reference motions. Then Atlas tracks the motions using a model predictive controller that smoothly blends from one maneuver to the next. Using this approach, we developed the routine significantly faster than previous Atlas routines, with a performance success rate of about 80%.

    Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot now does gymnastics, too

    Sep 25, 2019

    The latest footage from Boston Dynamics is, unsurprisingly, both impressive and terrifying. Over the past few years we've seen Atlas navigate uneven terrain and even jump around a parkour course. This is on another level, though. The bipedal robot does a handstand, rolls around and even does a few jumping twists -- all without losing its balance.

    Atlas | Partners in parkour

    Aug 17, 2021

    Parkour is the perfect sandbox for the Atlas team at Boston Dynamics to experiment with new behaviors. In this video our humanoid robots demonstrate their whole-body athletics, maintaining its balance through a variety of rapidly changing, high-energy activities. Through jumps, balance beams, and vaults, we demonstrate how we push Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.
    "Leaps, bounds, and backflips"
    By training Atlas to maneuver its way through complex parkour courses, Boston Dynamics engineers develop new movements inspired by human behaviors and push the humanoid robot to its limits.

    Inside the lab: How does Atlas work?

    Aug 17, 2021

    Go behind the scenes at Boston Dynamics with the Atlas Team as we work to train multiple Atlas robots to maneuver their way through our most complex parkour course yet. The team pushes Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.
