Relatable tbh

It makes so much sense when you think about it. The Achilles tendon in a human body is the strongest and thickest tendon in the human body. So if you design a bipedal robot that is designed to move like a human, this is inevitably also going to one of its weak points since it obviously is a point that has to take immense amounts of stress

@@StazKodama (me too, somewhat)

A big part of it is elasticity. Metal has a very low youngest modulus which makes its elasticity low so it transfers forces well but does not absorb them well. That is similar to our bones while skin has a high young's modulus letting it absorb the impacts along with our muscle mass.

Flesh is flexible. The calf muscles work as springs/shock absorbers.

Unlocked knee injury and with it weather prediction :v

Atlas is a heavy, squared, rigid machine. Any fall results in severe damage.

Every time you go for a run, each step puts a thousand pounds of pressure per square inch on your knees.

Which uni are you pursuing your masters in?

Imagine how much better the world would be if the majority of comments where as insightful and positive as yours. Thanks :)

thats what im sayin

given that tesla, amazon, and all these other huge companies are pursuing bipeds, I think we'll see a refined version much like spot was a refined version of quadrupeds that came before

Wondering what makes BD a leader in the field? Isn’t Tesla on par with their manufacturing experience and custom made actuators/ AI

@@urhot Tesla is not even close, don't fall for that Elon fakery. Atlas is miles ahead of anything they're doing. Most of the "impressive" features Optimus has been showing is teleoperation which isn't impressive at all.

@@urhot Optimus and all the other bipedal robots can't even walk fast enough. They have years before they can match the agility of Atlas.

Would be good to have an Atlas HD in the Smithsonian Museum of American History - Archie & Edith's chair, the OR from M*A*S*H, a pair of "magical" ruby slippers, Edison's phonograph, and many other examples of American achievement are housed.

Maybe its just programmed to reduce destruction ;-)

@@ChrisMustermann probably that's what we humans do as well, so we don't hurt as much

​@@boriswilsoncreationsProbably? It is definitely.

i fucking died hahaha

@@ChrisMustermann I thought the same.

It's... obviously intentional. so I'd say beautiful, but uncanny, no.

Idk if it's entirely intentional. Humans have mastered bipedal motion, I think it makes sense that they'd end up moving like us whether we intended them to or not.

@@sydneywaffa I think its both. Up till the point where the software thinks the robot may be able to recover its intentionally trying to mimic a human, its swinging limbs to influence its center of gravity to try to regain balance like humans do because that's what we've been trained to do since we started walking and we're inherently good at it as a result. It also through the process of elimination is just what is best via physics. The difference, but still intentional is the fetal position it clearly attempts to enter once it realizes it no longer has a chance of recovering itself. I think this serves two reasons, one to minimize damage. It doesn't have to worry about bruises, its head, or its spine like we do, so a ball to spread forces across as much of its chassis as possible is best, plus it minimizes the chances of losing a limb, a very real possibility as the video has shown. The second reason I would guess has to do with safety for the human operators, you don't want a flailing robot attempting more and more extreme limb movements to clonk poor Joey on the nose.

It looks like it's possibly designed to tuck inward when an error is detected to reduce injury to limbs. Same as with people. That's probably part of what makes it appear similar. The rest is just physics.

​@@sydneywaffa it was intentionally designed like a human, and the human-like movement characteristics are inherent to the human-like body

Lol I was just about to comment this. It really does

Exactly. Basically the most "human" thing from the entire video in my opinion. :-)

The acrobatics are all very robotic, but the flailing while falling trying to walk up stairs is just so human

Yeah, very human like reflex

@@Kagami_kazuya69 i don't mean disabled peoples, anyway. i just wanted to say, that all of us like to consider, that our bodies are perfect. but it's not. they have uninttelegend design. imagine that your car will have two motors each with own wheels. one for accelerate, and another will work in opposite direction, just for slowering first. It's useless expense of fuel, but we have such musscles. We have RLN - it's long nerve. And his length is fully useless. Our bodies are very fragile. We want to think that they have resourse for 60+ years. But if we will consider not existing of body, but active and high load, i'm sure that we will notice that organic joints are wearing out noticeably for a 10+ years. and of course we shouldn't compare falls of robot counted in videos about falls of robots and falls of peoplse counted in our life experience.

In the description they call Atlas "our hydraulic robot", that implies to me that the next version will be electronically actuated. Makes sense, hydraulics are great for power-to-weight but as the video shows, operate on fluid tbat can leak under failure. Electric motors are just two moving parts, really. Hopefully allows Atlas's new sibling to be smaller and lighter too - might as well add cheaper while we're at it.

@@llNightRoudll They could do a watered down electric version, but Boston Dynamics' core competency was in specialized hydraulics. It is rather surprising that they did not spin Atlas off. At the time when robotics startups get billions even before they have a working prototype, they could probably have gotten enough money to keep going for another decade. Atlas is not a sellable product, but the justification for Atlas existence is still sound -- "we are exploring athletic intelligence".

Why? What advantage does the humanoid shape give that other, easier to produce and design body types don't do better? The only reason WE are shaped the way we are is down to billions of years of natural selection; we're not bound to this awkward shape when designing robotic devices. Also, they aren't retiring the Atlas body type (for some inexplicable reason), they're just moving on to electric actuators instead of hydraulic.

Atlas was amazing, but AFAIK, it only brought some small revenue when it was rented out for a DARPA competition. Otherwise it was a continuous drain of resources.

​@@cogoidAtlas was always a research platform, not meant to progress to popular use. It's spawned enough other revenue, no worry.
