Not Even a Man With a Hockey Stick Can Stop These High Tech Robots

Tech Videos Bonston Dynamics Robot Atlas Hockey about 8 years agoby Mick Joest

Boston Dynamics has long led the way in cutting edge American robotics. They've made robots that look like mules and carry stuff, and ones that can handle rough terrain. Their latest robot can do both! Atlas is capable of navigating rough terrain and lifting 10 lbs. and is able to quickly recover from attacks from men with hockey sticks. I know I shouldn't be rooting for robots...but damn, I was hoping he leveled that guy. Check it out below, and check out the brutal onslaught at 1:30.

Thanks to Tech Crunch for the heads up!

Now six years later I'm the managing editor of Gametyrant.com and still living the dream and giving my opinion to the geek masses! Geektyrant is my life, and I hope that shows in everything I do!
