Adam Does the Charleston! 💃🤖 Move over, Unitree—there’s a new dancer in town. PNDbotics just dropped a video of their humanoid robot, Adam, pulling off a high-energy Charleston with some seriously impressive dynamic balance. It's not just about the moves; it’s the hardware keeping up with the rhythm. Adam... packs 41 degrees of freedom and custom high-torque actuators that pump out hundreds of Nm (Newton-meters) for those explosive jumps and pivots. ➤ Smooth Transitions: Optimized trajectory algorithms keep the complex footwork looking fluid rather than robotic. ➤ Expressive Detail: With 3 DOFs in the waist and 2 in the wrists, Adam adds a level of human-like flair to the performance that’s hard to pull off at full scale. ➤ Zero Lag: A high-speed communication network ensures the control loop stays tight, matching every beat in real-time.

Boston Dynamics just dropped the production-ready Atlas at CES 2026, and the specs are next-level. This isn't just a prototype; it's a rugged, enterprise-grade worker built for the grind of real-world factories.🤖🦾 With 56 degrees of freedom and fully rotational joints, Atlas moves with "superhuman" flexibility. It features human-scale hands with tactile sensing in every finger and palm, allowing for high-precision manipulation. Plus, its 360-degree vision system ensures it always knows who's approaching, keeping human-robot collaboration safe. ➤ Rugged Performance: Lifts up to 110 lbs (approx. 50kg) and operates in extreme temps from -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C). It’s even water-resistant for industrial wash-downs. ➤ Smart Endurance: Runs for 4 hours on dual swappable batteries. When power gets low, it autonomously heads back to the station to swap its own batteries and get right back to work. ➤ Cloud Intelligence: New tasks can be trained in less than a day. Thanks to the Orbit platform, once one Atlas learns a skill, it’s instantly shared across the entire fleet. The scale is massive: the entire 2026 supply is already spoken for by Hyundai and a new AI partner. Hyundai is also building a specialized "Robotics Metal Plant" and a new factory capable of churning out 30,000 Atlas units annually. We’re officially watching the birth of a humanoid workforce at scale. Source: Boston Dynamics & Hyundai Group

A planetary roller screw looks simple, but it’s one of the key enablers for humanoid robots. It converts rotational motion into precise linear motion with high efficiency, high load capacity, and extremely smooth control. In humanoid robots, this is exactly what you need for: joint actuation linear actuators in arms/legs high-force, high-precision movement under continuous cycles Compared to ball screws, it offers better durability and load distribution—critical for robots that must operate 24/7 in the real world. Small component, huge impact. This is the kind of “hidden hardware” that makes humanoid robotics actually work.

Apologies for the terrible camera work. It's the first time I've heard Adam Harris speak publicly and I'm no better off for it. Is there a factory somewhere in Greystones that creates pre-pubescent, emasculated dweebs with built in cliches of "let me be clear" in a voice akin to a tomcat having its nads lopped off without sufficient anesthetic. I couldn't think of anything more painful than being stuck at a dinner table with these two droning on in the same nasally, high-pitched tones.
