Meet Atlas the robot

Created by US Robotics Company Boston Dynamics who shot and shared video, the humanoid robot Atlas once fell flat on its face, but now it can box jump like a pro and land a perfect backflip.

Atlas has the ability to balance, along with a high strength-to-weight ratio and a complex range of sensors.

The robot is able to coordinate the function of a torso, arms, and legs to achieve a whole body manipulation.

The team now has its sights set on their own many-legged robot to explore areas like the Amazon.
