Boston Dynamics presented a new model of the Atlas robot, which it developed jointly with South Korean Hyundai. Now the robot is completely electric, and the hydraulics have been removed. Unlike the previous model of the Atlas robot, which was developed for 11 years and is now not assembled, the new robot has received more powerful drives and has also become more flexible. Now he doesn’t have to walk on two legs, he can fold into different positions. Some users were even frightened by this... Read more ..read more

It sucks. In so many ways. In the first launch attempt, it blew up on the pad. Second launch, it blew up shortly after clearing the pad. Third launch, it blew up in low earth orbit. I suppose we can look forward to progress. We'll get to see one blow up in high earth orbit, then one will blow up on the way to the moon, and so on. Remind, me, how many Saturn V's blew up? I think it's zero. The plan is to launch the lunar lander vehicle, leave that in low earth orbit, and then launch about... Read more ..read more
