If you've been following the story of Boston Dynamics’ robots you would know that significant advancements are being made in the field of robotics and many of them are coming out of this specific company. In fact as videos are continued to be released their flagship robots, the Atlas and SpotMini are looking much more natural and amazing. There is no doubt a lot of progess is being made.
The clips don’t reveal much we haven’t seen before, but they both show how naturally these robots are able to move around. In the video below, Atlas, is going for a jog in a yard with some difficult terrain and not appearing to be troubled by it in the slightest!
Beyond that it seems the video also shows proof of Atlas being able to encounter difficult obstacles and simply hop over them!

Robots will be serving us at the restaurants globally...
Every day we inch closer and closer to Westworld becoming reality. It's terrifying, but exciting because advancements in robotics are going to benefit a lot of people including the disabled who require hands-on and around the clock assistance. Caring robots are going to be fantastic once the tech gets there, and then naturally robots working in hospitality and then finally: the robot uprising the will wipe out mankind.
OMFG things are getting scary!! Whatever has been portrayed movies in the past is beginning to get real! I am going to start analysing all sci-fi movies now hehehe.
This is a great step for tech and scary to some kind of jobs as people wil start losing jobs to robots!

The way in which the robotics take giant steps is amazing, each time they can execute tasks in a similar way to humans
