    Meet ATLAS!

    Published on Jul 11, 2013

    Say hello to ATLAS, one of the most advanced humanoid robots ever built!

    ATLAS was developed for DARPA by Boston Dynamics. Software-focused teams from Tracks B and C of the DARPA Robotics Challenge will use the robot to compete in the first physical competition of the Challenge in December 2013 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

    The DARPA Robotics Challenge seeks to advance the technology necessary to create robots capable of assisting humans in disaster response.

    Atlas Update

    Published on Oct 3, 2013

    Atlas is an anthropomorphic robot designed to operate on rough terrain. The video shows Atlas balancing as it walks on rocky terrain and when pushed from the side. The balance and control system places the feet and swings the arms and upper body to stay upright. The controller uses inertial, kinematic and load data from Atlas's sensors. Atlas is being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA's M3 program.

    Atlas Walking Over Randomness

    Published on Nov 13, 2013

    Team IHMC's Atlas Humanoid Robot walking over random stuff that we threw in front of it. While the robot has some impressive sensors, including the Carnegie Robotics sensor head, in this video we have the robot walk over the obstacles without any sensing of them, to demonstrate some robustness to rough terrain. The tether provides electrical power to an onboard hydraulic pump. The overhead safety rope does not support any of the weight of the robot. It is there in the off chance that the robot falls. How often does the robot fall? Right now often, but much less than when we started working with the robot 2 months before this video was made. While the robot is strong enough to get back up after a fall, it's hard to say if it is able to fall without damaging itself. So for the time being we'll stick with the overhead safety system. Stay tuned for some more impressive walking, and hopefully some more impressive falling!

    Humanoid Robot Brains

    Published on May 19, 2014

    The smartest people in the world have spent millions on developing high-tech robots. But even though technology has come a long way, these humanoid robots are nowhere close to having the "brain" and motor control of a human. Why is that? Evan takes you behind the motor control processes in the human brain, and how cutting-edge research is trying to implement it in robots.
