5:43Now PlayingJust months after its debut, Atlas is proving why it is the world’s most capable and dynamic humanoid robot, ready for real work. Lifting a mini-fridge is a feat of strength, but the true breakthrough is in the underlying reinforcement learning and controls systems. The robot is learning to navigate real world adaptability: handling heavy objects by bracing and accounting for the mass and inertia; using whole-body control, not just hands to maneuver; and demonstrating superhuman range of motion and balance. This marks a critical shift in robotics where humanoids move beyond the lab and into dynamic industrial settings.
Alberto Rodriguez, Director of Robot Behavior for Atlas, Shane RozenLevy, Research Engineer, and Vinay Kamidi, Research Engineer share more about training Atlas and developing robust, dynamic behaviors on our blog
