Robotics company/Harbinger of the Apocalypse Boston Dynamics has developed a new upgraded version of its upright walking Atlas robot. Standing at 5′ 9″, the new model is shorter and lighter than its predecessor, but is fully equipped to operate both indoors and out “with a focus on mobile manipulation.” The video, below, shows it opening doors, picking up boxes, strolling about in nature, balancing itself when it encounters bumps or holes in the terrain, and taking a looooooooooot of shit from his nasty human overseer. (Seriously: It’s guys like him that are the reason Skynet started the war).
Says one YouTube commenter: “I feel bad for the robot and am extremely afraid of him at the same time… Someday when the AI of these things gets too good we will all definitely die.” I cosign THAT, sister.
