Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly. The robot receives as input a list of bin locations to move parts between.

Atlas uses a machine learning (ML) vision model to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bins [0:36]. The robot uses a specialized grasping policy and continuously estimates the state of manipulated objects to achieve the task.There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements; all motions are generated autonomously online.

The robot is able to detect and react to changes in the environment (e.g., moving fixtures) and action failures (e.g., failure to insert the cover, tripping, environment collisions [1:24]) using a combination of vision, force, and proprioceptive sensors.

Its amazing how human like it walks and tries to steady itself going down that uneven slope.

In this demo, Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) drives, turns, jumps, tricks, and comes to a sudden stop called a track-stand. All of the driving, landings, balance, and track-stands are done using reinforcement learning.

Pretty incredibly, and very scary. The way it trembles afterwards is straight up from a horror movie:

The way Atlas moves is beyond any other humanoid I've seen. Truly incredible, and absolutely the way to go. I don't get why the others make humanoids that feature the same constraints as humans. Atlas moves in whatever way, completely reversing his joints when required/useful. Just look at the way he stands up. Crazy.

Boston Dynamics is still the standard, but these Chinese robots are advancing at breathtaking pace, and Optimus is moving along nicely too.....
AI is completely revolutionizing these machines.
