Boston Dynamics' Fully Electric Robot Looks A Little Possessed

Boston Dynamics is known for its advanced robots developed to do human tasks. The company is moving to another level with the introduction of a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications, which now replaces its hydraulic sibling. Boston Dynamics showed it in action, and it’s everything and nothing like you thought it would be.

This new Atlas reminds me of a hairdryer with a human-like body but also a terrifying creature from horror movies – all thanks to its bizarre movement. When it stands up and turns around, it looks like it needs exorcism. It is no doubt more effective than what we, puny humans, do, but it looks a bit eerie.

However it appears, I’m sure Atlas is an important step in robotics and will be extremely useful in a variety of fields.
