AanDriveenbestellen.nl – The new electric Atlas will soon be on an ‘internship’ at Hyundai (video)

Boston Dynamics, officially owned by Hyundai since 2021, has done away with the old hydraulic Atlas and presented the next generation of fully electric humanoid robots. The new Atlas must manufacture its first professional industrial meters at the factories of the Korean group and for an unspecified number of selected companies.

It will be an internship months and years late Boston Dynamics to know Showing everyone what the new Atlas can do, but also for the creators themselves. The new electric humanoid must be more powerful than the hydraulic retiree and have more movement options. With improved manipulation skills as well as new grip options, the robot should be able to handle a wide range of tasks in different environments.

A complete ecosystem

The success of robotics implementation goes beyond just hardware; it also requires well-thought-out software that also applies to IT infrastructure and operational processes. Boston Dynamics has invested in advanced AI and machine learning tools, such as reinforcement learning and computer vision, to improve the adaptability of their robots. The company also emphasizes their ability to provide a complete ecosystem of software, services and support. The company has also launched software solutions such as Orbit to simplify the management of robotic fleets and support digitalisation.

Cross over

The fact that Atlas has a human form depends mainly on the desire to build a robot that can move and remain dynamically balanced in an unstructured and unknown environment. The goal is for the robot to be as functional as possible. Atlas may be humanoid, but it is not meant to suffer from the limitations of the human musculoskeletal system. The robot is designed to work, including dangerously, in ways beyond human capabilities – in a variety of environments.
