Farewell to HD Atlas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2024
- For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date.

0:24 BRO HE HELD HIS NUTS LIKE IT HURT
Dude! That hurt ME when it fell! 😓
hahaha!!! you're right!
That sure tightened up his nuts. Bring on the loose wench.
Wouldn't you?! where's your brotherly compassion... =\
I felt it and I'm sitting 1000 miles away
The way I paused and look at the comments right next to watch it hahaha
I love that they programmed it like that
This isn't a tear in my eye, it's hydraulic fluid.
Here's to you, Atlas.
HD ATLAS will be remembered for its personality. The first robot to become endearing to us. It's all in the coding.
This WD40 is the GOAT
I might be 58 years old on the outside, but there's this little girl inside me who's always SO HAPPY when you guys come up with a new video. You create joy, and wonder, and laughter everytime. Thank you for all your hard work, your dedication, your honesty, your daring. Thank you for making that little girl smile. 🥰🥰🥰
Reading this put a smile on my face. It's awesome that you still have that same sense of wonderment that drives your curiosity. :)
God bless you 🙏
I SECOND EVERY WORD YOU SAY!!

Being not afraid to show your failures as well as your successes is the sign of a healthy company
That's true but in the case of Boston Dynamics every "fail" is a win because they learn something about how the robot behaves and can improve it.
@@ruk2023-- that goes for all fails in life.

@@ruk2023-- Yes. That's what failure is.

Atlas' videos are the only ones that make me realize the future is here.
Thank you.
coming to a middle eastern warzone near you!
My son is disabled and he’s always loved Atlas videos. He laughs and laughs when Atlas jumps, falls, and picks things up. When Atlas is being fixed he says “It’s okay robot!” And cheers “He’s all better!” when repairs are done. Atlas has helped my little guy see that you can fall, and it might hurt, but friends are there to help, and you can try again, and jump again, and dance. Thank you “Mr. Falling Robot”. You did a lot for a little boy who thought he was too broken to be fixed, but now knows that he can do anything.
That's a deeply touching story. Kind regards to you and your son from an old bloke who shares his love for these miracles.

And yet we pay to cause animals pain who we know for a fact feel it, just for taste pleasure. Unbelievable.
@@T_Armstrong you're not wrong, Walter.
@@mattrinne The Dude abides.
How is it unbelievable?
My brain still cannot accept that video of a robot doing a twisty backflip off a raised platform is real. I would need to stand there in the room and watch it. I would then have to make sure it isn't just some talented dude in a robot suit doing the move.
Atlas will forever be the true OG of Boston Dynamics along with Spot.
Why am I sentimental for a robot that's built 15,000 kilometers away?
Me too! LOL. Even to the extent of feeling upset when they pushed him around with that stick or laugh at him as he fell and rolled down that hill. Weird how much I anthropomorphize Atlas! ❤
Great, Now i know your location.
@@whatsanimesh You need three points for triangulation - now you have one :P
Also, the accuracy might be 1000 km, so even with three points you got a square as big as Egypt :)
I can speak for myself, but its like watching a baby grow up thought all its failures and successes.
But the Earth's diameter is less than 13000km... Are you a reptiloid, following Boston Dynamics from space?
1:19 I think this is THE most realistinc trip-and-fall that I've ever seen a robot produce, it's just so majestic in action
I was... This is neat, until that point. Roftl thereafter!
so you always overstretch your left foot backwords 180º too?? wow me too!!
@@SumriseHD you're fun at parties are't ya?
I had that exact same thought.
The movement looks so human I winced and said “ouch” when I saw that clip
Farewell you legend! Thank you for carrying the torch so far.
Wow. This watches like America’s Funniest Home Videos. Lmao. Atlas we will miss you. Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration and entertainment. I can’t wait to see what Boston Dynamics does next! ❤
The comedic timing at 1:44 is perfect. When the first one falls, I'm thinking, "Poor guy, he's lying there in pain and his buddy is just stunting on him--" and then right on cue the second one slips like he just stepped on a banana peel.
They were ride-or-die bros
i swear it's like watching your drunk uncles compete against one another
TIL Atlas' weak point is literally its Achilles' heel. Literally _explodes_ every time it twisted its ankle...
Relatable tbh
It makes so much sense when you think about it.
The Achilles tendon in a human body is the strongest and thickest tendon in the human body.
So if you design a bipedal robot that is designed to move like a human, this is inevitably also going to one of its weak points since it obviously is a point that has to take immense amounts of stress
Something to remember for the robot wars

I wish I could be there to congratulate and give Atlas a hug, it deserves a tight, warm hug for all the amazing things its done.
What you accomplished is just incredible. Congratulations on all your accomplishments. You all really deserve to take a bow.

Helooo fellow hooman
The truth of it is, saying goodbye by to atlas is saying goodbye to the tens of thousands of hands that worked on him.
❤
I like how they see him as a student learning the grips of mobility. You've finally graduated, Atlas! Time for a well-deserved break.
It's a testament that watching a humanoid robot fall and explode it's knee made me grimace in sympathetic pain. Atlas is an exceptional development and his legacy is justifibly penned to the history books forever.
It's strange, this robot has been impressing us for so long. It's like a member of the cultural family. Atlas, GOAT.
Get well soon

Thank you for the happiest video.

Watching robots fall down was the humor I needed. Watching robots move like a human brings me joy.
You would love to see me at a party!
it brings me fear
@@StazKodama (me too, somewhat)
When atlas falls down, I feel the same amount of joy and sympathy that I do when watching a human fall down.
You were the most charming robot I’ve seen in the real world, farewell atlas!
All the breaks from the hard falls really puts into perspective the massive amount of force and trauma our body can go handle when we jump around.
A big part of it is elasticity. Metal has a very low youngest modulus which makes its elasticity low so it transfers forces well but does not absorb them well. That is similar to our bones while skin has a high young's modulus letting it absorb the impacts along with our muscle mass.
Flesh is flexible. The calf muscles work as springs/shock absorbers.
Unlocked knee injury and with it weather prediction :v
Atlas is a heavy, squared, rigid machine. Any fall results in severe damage.
Every time you go for a run, each step puts a thousand pounds of pressure per square inch on your knees.
I was in my first year of MechE degree when Atlas did the back-flip landing. Our introductory course's instructor had us watch the video in the class as well. I did minor in Mechatronics and graduated from MechE. I am still in the process of MSc. in robotics.
As the years passed and I gained more experience, behaviors, accuracy and the sheer talent of the Atlas did not became more familiar or easy-looking for me but the exact opposite. Now, as an engineer who worked on UAVs, USVs, UGVs and some other robots, I can only realize how hard was it to create something like Atlas.
Nowadays, it is not hard to work with robots as many rely on open source libraries. Unlike them, pioneers in robotics are the ones who has to make the clean sheet designs. Atlas definitely was the product of such people. As in the legends, Atlas carried the world of advanced humanoid robotics on its shoulders. It was not a robot but The Robot which is very hard.
Kudos to everyone who worked on such a robot which surely inspired many...
Which uni are you pursuing your masters in?
Imagine how much better the world would be if the majority of comments where as insightful and positive as yours. Thanks :)
Atlas, as one of your thousands of fans. I salute you and thank you for the years of inspiration, fascination, wonder, and joy you've brought me over the years. I still remember seeing your original form participating in an emergency responders robotics competition against CHIMP years ago and have always admired the team that gave you life (and some fantastic dance moves). Enjoy your rest buddy, you've earned it. ;)
In the video, you showed us that it is necessary to experience failure many times for success, and that it can be achieved with perseverance and patience. Thanks
This is not the end. This is the beginning. They were very careful to say "hydraulic" which implies there's a newer version likely not using hydros. I look forward to seeing what the next generation has to offer, as BD is still the leader in this field.
thats what im sayin
given that tesla, amazon, and all these other huge companies are pursuing bipeds, I think we'll see a refined version much like spot was a refined version of quadrupeds that came before
Wondering what makes BD a leader in the field? Isn’t Tesla on par with their manufacturing experience and custom made actuators/ AI
@@urhot Tesla is not even close, don't fall for that Elon fakery. Atlas is miles ahead of anything they're doing. Most of the "impressive" features Optimus has been showing is teleoperation which isn't impressive at all.
@@urhot Optimus and all the other bipedal robots can't even walk fast enough. They have years before they can match the agility of Atlas.
They’ll be worth millions, these are true relics. This is the first robot I saw do a backflip
Would be good to have an Atlas HD in the Smithsonian Museum of American History - Archie & Edith's chair, the OR from M*A*S*H, a pair of "magical" ruby slippers, Edison's phonograph, and many other examples of American achievement are housed.
I'm pretty sure they're already worth millions.😁
They're already worth a couple million in parts alone
I don't know if I have to be ashamed or not when I laugh about the fails of Atlas. I'm absolutely fascinated and amazed - again and again - about the human like details in the movements, about the gestures and the passion of all the people involved...
As far as I know, no other robot has come close to Atlas’ agility. Well done!
Watching atlas "instinctually" assume the fetal position as he went rolling down the hill was absolutely gold! Thank you for posting this video!
Maybe its just programmed to reduce destruction ;-)
@@ChrisMustermann probably that's what we humans do as well, so we don't hurt as much
@@boriswilsoncreationsProbably? It is definitely.
i fucking died hahaha
@@ChrisMustermann I thought the same.
Fascinating how closely the failure modes of Atlas mirror those of a human. Not just the injuries, but even the attempts and failures of upset recovery. Beautiful and a bit uncanny.
It's... obviously intentional. so I'd say beautiful, but uncanny, no.
Idk if it's entirely intentional. Humans have mastered bipedal motion, I think it makes sense that they'd end up moving like us whether we intended them to or not.
@@sydneywaffa I think its both. Up till the point where the software thinks the robot may be able to recover its intentionally trying to mimic a human, its swinging limbs to influence its center of gravity to try to regain balance like humans do because that's what we've been trained to do since we started walking and we're inherently good at it as a result. It also through the process of elimination is just what is best via physics.
The difference, but still intentional is the fetal position it clearly attempts to enter once it realizes it no longer has a chance of recovering itself. I think this serves two reasons, one to minimize damage. It doesn't have to worry about bruises, its head, or its spine like we do, so a ball to spread forces across as much of its chassis as possible is best, plus it minimizes the chances of losing a limb, a very real possibility as the video has shown. The second reason I would guess has to do with safety for the human operators, you don't want a flailing robot attempting more and more extreme limb movements to clonk poor Joey on the nose.
It looks like it's possibly designed to tuck inward when an error is detected to reduce injury to limbs. Same as with people. That's probably part of what makes it appear similar. The rest is just physics.
@@sydneywaffa it was intentionally designed like a human, and the human-like movement characteristics are inherent to the human-like body
Thank you for these blooper clips. They are so great.
Robots will watch this and be so thankful. This was beautiful.
The fall at 1:20 looked like an actual person falling. Trippy!
Lol I was just about to comment this. It really does
Exactly. Basically the most "human" thing from the entire video in my opinion. :-)
The acrobatics are all very robotic, but the flailing while falling trying to walk up stairs is just so human
Yeah, very human like reflex
I literally empathize with it when I saw it. Welp I been there before. 😅😂
An entire generation of engineers was inspired by Atlas. Let its name be known in history!
Been watching the growth of this company for almost 12 years. It’s bin such a crazy thing to watch.
Goodbye, first of our many robot overlords. Strangely, you'll be missed.
Especially when people see the replacement standing up.

The new Atlas is not charismatic as him

@@Kagami_kazuya69 i don't mean disabled peoples, anyway. i just wanted to say, that all of us like to consider, that our bodies are perfect. but it's not. they have uninttelegend design. imagine that your car will have two motors each with own wheels. one for accelerate, and another will work in opposite direction, just for slowering first. It's useless expense of fuel, but we have such musscles. We have RLN - it's long nerve. And his length is fully useless. Our bodies are very fragile. We want to think that they have resourse for 60+ years. But if we will consider not existing of body, but active and high load, i'm sure that we will notice that organic joints are wearing out noticeably for a 10+ years.
and of course we shouldn't compare falls of robot counted in videos about falls of robots and falls of peoplse counted in our life experience.

In the description they call Atlas "our hydraulic robot", that implies to me that the next version will be electronically actuated.
Makes sense, hydraulics are great for power-to-weight but as the video shows, operate on fluid tbat can leak under failure. Electric motors are just two moving parts, really. Hopefully allows Atlas's new sibling to be smaller and lighter too - might as well add cheaper while we're at it.

At the time when robotics startups get billions even before they have a working prototype, they could probably have gotten enough money to keep going for another decade. Atlas is not a sellable product, but the justification for Atlas existence is still sound -- "we are exploring athletic intelligence".

Hope this leads up to a new humanoid platform. Atlas was such a masterpiece. Never seen any robotics movement as fluid and humanlike like it.
Why? What advantage does the humanoid shape give that other, easier to produce and design body types don't do better? The only reason WE are shaped the way we are is down to billions of years of natural selection; we're not bound to this awkward shape when designing robotic devices.
Also, they aren't retiring the Atlas body type (for some inexplicable reason), they're just moving on to electric actuators instead of hydraulic.

Atlas was amazing, but AFAIK, it only brought some small revenue when it was rented out for a DARPA competition. Otherwise it was a continuous drain of resources. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in a search for a perfect hydraulic valve. The majority of Boston Dynamics patents are in hydraulic valves.
@@cogoidAtlas was always a research platform, not meant to progress to popular use. It's spawned enough other revenue, no worry.
A failure is simply an opportunity to collect data needed to make corrections. Be glad you have them. I can’t count the times I’ve been asked to debug intermittent failures without any data to do so. The more you fail, the more data you have to identify the issue and mitigate it. Keep making them. 👍🤜🤛
Thank you Boston dynamics. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to achieve but the video footage is just golden 😂
I'm a seventy year old woman and I have loved these from the start. Thank you
