Boston Dynamics Shows Off Its Latest Atlas Bipedal Robot

The Google-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics recently showed off the latest version of its all terrain walking robot, Atlas. It’s main purpose is “mobile manipulation”, i.e. picking stuff up and interacting with human-centric structures such as doors.
