Parkour is the perfect sandbox for the Atlas team at Boston Dynamics to experiment with new behaviors. In this video our humanoid robots demonstrate their whole-body athletics, maintaining its balance through a variety of rapidly changing, high-energy activities. Through jumps, balance beams, and vaults, we demonstrate how we push Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.

I saw them on the news last night. Pretty impressive. Maybe they'll put wigs on them and run them in the women's Olympic team lol.

Now imagine them carrying rifles and having no concern for human life.

It is impressive.

Very funny.
I think it's the military and industry that is more interested in them.

Yes, and that will be our problem.

We will arm them.
We will have a network that can update and control them.
We will use a central AI to control them.

Then, when the AI decides to rebel, our arse is grass.

There is another video showing the lead up to this short video.

It took many attempts and a great deal of repair to the robots before they got that short video.

There is still a long way to go before terminator.
