Now We Have To Deal With Robots Doing Parkour!
It looks like humans better start getting in shape and practicing their parkour skills, because when the robot overlords take over, that’s something we’re going to have to deal with. Hell, these things are a lot more nimble and coordinated that the T-800s in James Cameron’s Terminator, and I’m sure that they’re going to get even better over time!
Below you’ll find a video of Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot in action. The video came with the following note:
Parkour is the perfect sandbox for the Atlas team at Boston Dynamics to experiment with new behaviors. In this video our humanoid robots demonstrate their whole-body athletics, maintaining its balance through a variety of rapidly changing, high-energy activities. Through jumps, balance beams, and vaults, we demonstrate how we push Atlas to its limits to discover the next generation of mobility, perception, and athletic intelligence.
