A day after Boston Dynamics said it was retiring its Atlas robot, the company has unveiled a new fully electric — and even more impressive — version of the bot.
“Til we meet again, Atlas,” was the closing message on Boston Dynamics’ video on Tuesday that announced the retirement of the hydraulic-powered version of its remarkable bipedal robot.
The words suggested that somewhere down the road, perhaps in a few months or years, the team would unveil a new robot incorporating much of what the team had learned from its work on Atlas.
Turns out we only had to wait 24 hours.
On Wednesday, Boston Dynamics dropped another video (top), this one showing a new, fully electric version of Atlas.
