Boston Dynamics has released a video showcasing the new capabilities of the Atlas humanoid robot, which can move objects from one place to another without the need for detailed input or remote commands.
In the video, Atlas is demonstrated moving an engine hood from a compartment in a container to a tray on a cart, with the input being only the positions of the container and the cart. The rest is accomplished using Machine Learning Vision models to assess the current environment and grasp-move-store objects accurately.
This test revealed that Atlas is capable of responding, learning, and adapting quickly when faced with obstacles, such as the engine hood not fitting into the tray directly. Additionally, Atlas’s ability to twist and turn in all directions while walking helps illustrate how the robot operates differently from humans.
