Wearing a sensor-covered bodysuit that captured Bill Whitaker’s movements, engineers trained Atlas to mimic him. Once a skill is learned, it can be shared across every Atlas robot. 60 Minutes breaks down the learning process. Wearing a sensor-covered bodysuit, Bill Whitaker demonstrated movements that Atlas, a humanoid robot, then...

When 60 Minutes visited Boston Dynamics in 2021, Atlas was a bulky, hydraulic robot. Back then, it relied on algorithms written by engineers. Today, Atlas has a sleek, all-electric body and an AI-powered brain, smart enough to pull off hard-to-believe feats autonomously.

Boston Dynamics Atlas robot recently performed flips and cartwheels after extensive training and testing. Engineers used simulations and repeated practice runs to improve its balance, timing, and coordination. By learning from mistakes and refining its movements, Atlas became stable enough to perform the actions smoothly.

The Large Behavior Model (LBM), co-developed by Boston Dynamics and TRI, can perform various manipulation tasks on Atlas MTS (the Atlas upper-body robot). The training process is the same whether it’s manipulating a 22 lb car tire, tying a rope, or flipping a barstool.

Boston Dynamics taught Atlas a Rabona kick. Learned from human mocap, retargeted to Atlas, trained in sim via RL, deployed zero-shot to the real robot. Soccer skills demand whole-body coordination, and similar recipe transfers to warehouse work.

Boston Dynamics has demonstrated its new Atlas humanoid robot lifting and carrying a 50-pound fridge. The robot uses its whole body to balance and move the heavy object in a natural, human-like way. Before doing it in the real world, Atlas practiced the task for millions of hours in a virtual simulation.

Atlas can perform a backflip combo like a gymnast and also walk naturally across a stage. These very different movements are enabled by the whole-body learning framework developed by the RAI Institute and deployed by Boston Dynamics. We’re getting closer to robust, generalist humanoid behaviors that transfer zero-shot from simulation to physical performance:

Researchers have developed Humanoid-GPT, a new AI system that helps humanoid robots perform complex movements and tasks. Tested on the Unitree G1 robot, it enables real-time whole-body control and can perform new actions without special training. During demonstrations, the robot successfully carried out a variety of movements and tasks, showing strong potential for real-world applications.

This is Atlas learning. Every fall. Every wobble. Every missed grab costs hundred of thousands of dollars Antioch Agent just made the training cost fall to near 0. Robotics companies can now break their robot 1,000 times in simulation before it ever touches the real world. Atlas is happy

Boston Dynamics has released a new video about humanoid robot hands. "Grippers are one of the most intricate parts of a humanoid robot, packed with actuation and sensing; they need to be durable enough to handle tough jobs, but precise enough to handle fragile items. Our engineers share how the Atlas gripper has evolved as our manipulation capabilities expand and the principles that will guide future iterations."

Canadian engineers have created a robot that is almost impossible to beat in a puck game For a year and a half, it was trained in simulations — it played thousands of virtual matches and learned to predict the puck’s trajectory, taking into account bounces off the boards and tiny surface irregularities. To do this, a separate neural network was trained specifically to calculate the physics of impacts. Now the robot reacts faster than a human and simultaneously keeps multiple possible puck movements in mind.
