DARPA - Robots achieving New abilities

The 5ft 11in tall machine has come along way since it was on the news last.

Meet th New Atlas, The Next Generation..

Atlas uses its whole body -- legs, arms, torso -- to perform a sequence of dynamic maneuvers that form a gymnastic routine. Darpa created the maneuvers using new techniques optimization algorithm transforms high-level descriptions of each maneuver into dynamically-feasible reference motions.

Then Atlas tracks the motions using a model predictive controller that smoothly blends from one maneuver to the next. Using this approach, we developed the routine significantly faster than previous Atlas routines, with a performance success rate of about 80%.

Remember when you saw Robots falling over and you laughed!!
Now you will be taking that back as they out perform humans.https://t.co/totIWL3zuY pic.twitter.com/wLj19ZWvfN
