Thank you for all your hard work, your dedication, your honesty, your daring. Thank you for making that little girl smile. 🥰🥰🥰
@@bable6314 You're not getting this. A failure at BD doesn't cost time and money to correct. It actively teaches. In most situations a failure requires us to go away and think about what we have learned and how to fix it.
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.
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...
@@JonZiegler6 I should thank to people who gave me chance to write this comment. Also, thank you for acknowledging my positive feelings about Atlas and team made it possible.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you. There should be a live audience of not just insiders where it could be broadcasted social media etc. I have to see to believe, something just doesn't add up.
Plenty of videos posted by Boston Dynamics of Atlas even before it had a torso and waaaaaaay before these movie production style vids started floating on TH-cam...
@@ireversethings There's a youtuber whose content is all about optimistic science/tech stories (I think she has a podcast called "Big if true" so you can search it up to find her channel). In one of her videos, she got to see Atlas in action and even push it around. It's definitely real.
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.
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.
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
I shuddered when I saw the kneecap blown and his foot detaching, even though I know all too well that Atlas does not feel - it just shows how empathic humans can be towards robots (or other things). I have followed the journey of your robots from the dawn of TH-cam and felt so giddy and lucky for being able to meet Spot back in the day on an event in Luxembourg. I wish I had the smarts enough to work with such marvels of engineering. Thank you for doing what you do, Boston Dynamics and farewell my good robot, you did amazing!
i just recovered from a really bad infection in my knee during which i had a bad dream of the infection bursting like atlas's knee. i'm not ashamed to say i grabbed my knee in sympathetic pain. humans are weird right?
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.
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
@@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.

(Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Sometimes i wonder if they use human walking/falling data to train their AI models because they do very "human" looking actions like that sometimes that dont make sense
Honestly, this makes me realize how amazing humans are. Look at how much work it takes just to mimic a fracture of what a human can do (kinda sounds like Omni-Man’s monologue) but seriously, even now with the advancements, it took so much work.
Well it took evolution, 4 billion years from single-celled organism to humans. It's actually amazing how engineers can copy nature within a small time frame.
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! ❤
@@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 :)
What a great video. It was sad,happy, amusing and amazing. HD Atlas most definitely deserves a place in the history books. Undisputably a bipedal marvel.
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
As someone who is currently studying robotics and control, I can really appreciate the amount of complexity and beauty that are involved. I mean getting a robot to even balance itself in the first place is a really complex thing and it took me a whole year of research and study.
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 I'LL NEVER FORGET ABOUT YOU. The way you'd fall and always get back up... YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. No one else could backflip as sick as you could, or deal with so many shoves and punches from humans. Rest easy king.
This is a great compilation of what truly engineering a cutting edge project entails. Showing its failures is something most companies won’t ever show the public. Taking those failures and using them as an empirical learning experience is integral to innovation
It's evident the amount of love, passion and obviously the sheer amount of talented man hours that would have gone into making something as incredible and groundbreaking as Atlas has been. I don't think we'll ever see another hydraulic bot with the same capabilities.
Atlas. Like the titan who shares your name, instead of the world, you lifted our hearts, you and your creators have inspired many people and have given us joy and laughter, thank you to the team and this amazing robot for some amazing videos and hopefully one of many amazing robotic innovations! Thankyou Boston Dynamics!
i remember being amazed by petman 10 years ago, seeing how atlas was improved year after year from walking to making backflips..best robot ever. Cant wait to see whats next
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! ❤
Won't lie, that "until we meet again, Atlas" is low key foreboding. I just want to chime in, randomly (of course), that I love robots and am willing to serve.
Do not abandon Atlas development!!! Oh my god I'm crying. I've been following every video for probably a decade now since I was a teenager. Literally, inspired me to study engineering and robotics. I hope to god that this only means there's a new electric Atlas in development. A full abandonment would be devastating. You are the only company that has pursued truly dynamic humanoid robotics (also implied in your name). I would hate to see that lost.
The title indicates "HD Atlas", I hope they are developing an electric one and will show it shortly. Atlas is so inspiring and fantastic that it is also a reason why I study legged robot.
Hello, I am the lead developer of Atlas. After carefully considering your request, we have decided to continue development. We almost made a whoopsie there. Our bad.😅
Seeing all their failures really makes you appreciate just how incredible organic structures are. It takes soo much engineering to even attempt to mimic functions we take for granted. I'm looking forward to what comes after Atlas!
im sure. it's already more perfect than organic. to make any of his tricks one had to practise for a meaning time. also you should study how offen peoples fall and how many traumas it cause.
@@Ruzzky_Bly4t haha, nice joke, kid. may be i'll break it to you, but there's no peoples who never had problems with walking, and will not have it in future.

@@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.
@@lolrip818 Nah the 32k version. You see how unfunny it is when you try to extend the joke, but fail because you're just repeating the exact same format without adding any clever twist or new layer to the original joke? It's like hearing a good punchline and then someone repeats a similar thing but just changes the numbers. There's no originality and it doesn't even push the joke further in a creative way. Do better next time.
10+ years ago I saw the first videos and been dreaming how far you guys could come through in the future and not so long ago we saw Atlas jumping doing flips That was awesome part of the journey, Atlas and all the Boston Dynamics team! you'll never be forgotten ❤️
Only the robot is being retired. Boston Dynamics isn't going anywhere and they are simply beginning the next version robot. How happy are you now?!?!?!? LOL
I love how when Atlas falls he pulls his arms and legs in like that to reduce extra damages. Great work. Used to think some of the Atlas videos were fake, still think some are, but he is still an amazing robot and I really hope you keep him around as at least a mascot.
Thank you so much, Boston Dynamics, for showing us all this wonderful work, both failures and subsequent progress. My favorite Atlas moment was the "Do You Love Me" video posted not too long ago.
Hopefully one day HD Atlas will have a place in a museum to call home. Hopefully they'll give it a job at least to keep him active. Some people will see it as being sentimental, but it's important to remember what these were. The first steps on the road to bringing a new life into this world. Congrats!

@@llNightRoudll They could do a watered down electric version, but Boston Dynamics' core competency was in specialized hydraulics. It is rather surprising that they did not spin Atlas off. 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".
that's insane, I also want to develop the robotics field, so I took major of electronic engineering last year, seeing how your videos really motivated me. big thanks❤
Thanks BD for letting us peek behind the curtain just a little to see how much effort, trial and error , it took to give atlas his skills - and the comic relief of course ! :-)
Atlas HD hydraulic version is amazing! The speed / instant acceleration of the legs when trying to correct it self, when it is off balance at at 1:19 is astounding! Looking forward to meet Atlas Electric version!
The fact that it's specifically a farewell to the HD (Humanoid version D) and the video ends with "until we meet again" - I think we'll see a new improved atlas in the future.
Wow, end of an era. Loved following the development over the years. With that being said I'm absolutely terrified for what you got lined up next in its place.
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...
Bummer. It’s probably not the biggest revenue generator for BD, but Atlas has done an amazing job at inspiring people, showing what’s possible, and surely recruiting engineers to go work at Boston Dynamics
@@ojvribeiro ah, good point - that would make sense since they showed several hydraulic line breaks in this vid. Switching to all electric motors then?
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.
As a kid, back in the 90s, I remember seeing videos from Honda and their P series robots, particularly the soccer ball video. I recall thinking "wow, how does it get better than this?" Now, almost 30 years later, @0:23 I'm now seeing a robot grabbing itself after racking it's nuts and bolts on the plank. I do hope BD takes this technology and the lessons gathered somewhere, Atlas gave us a fun run.
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.

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.
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.
Thank you for the happiest video.
And thank you to the people who gave birth to this child.
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 :)
@@JonZiegler6 I should thank to people who gave me chance to write this comment. Also, thank you for acknowledging my positive feelings about Atlas and team made it possible.
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.
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.

@@highonmusicml Definitely not me. I swear.
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.
Thank you. There should be a live audience of not just insiders where it could be broadcasted social media etc. I have to see to believe, something just doesn't add up.
@@ireversethings this video is the reason why there isn't live audiences
Plenty of videos posted by Boston Dynamics of Atlas even before it had a torso and waaaaaaay before these movie production style vids started floating on TH-cam...
@@ireversethings There's a youtuber whose content is all about optimistic science/tech stories (I think she has a podcast called "Big if true" so you can search it up to find her channel). In one of her videos, she got to see Atlas in action and even push it around. It's definitely real.
They actually do do some live shows
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

The truth of it is, saying goodbye by to atlas is saying goodbye to the tens of thousands of hands that worked on him.

Robots will watch this and be so thankful. This was beautiful.
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

🟢THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
(Now, I have worked with God's chosen people in China, to reveal all their rebellious dispositions and expose all their ugliness, and this is the context of saying everything I have to say. Those who do not improve will only be comparisons and tools for service, while those who improve will be used. Later, I will take these words that conquered you to foreign countries and I will use them to conquer the people there, but you will not get them. Would you not be compared to that? I have said that sometimes My wisdom is used based on the schemes of Satan. If you do not improve, if you are not made perfect but instead punished, will you not be a comparison? Even though you have been chastened and convicted, you still have not changed in any way, and deep down, you have not gained in any way, and deep down, you have not gained life. When the time comes to test your work, you will experience a trial as fierce as fire and more severe tribulation. As one who does not possess life, one who does not have an ounce of pure gold inside, one who still clings to the old disposition, and one who cannot even do a good job as a comparison, how can you not be removed? Of what use in the work of conquest is one who is worth less than an idler, one who does not possess life? Once all the work of Salvation has been done, there will be no more; what will happen is the beginning of the work of punishing those who are evil. You resist, you rebel, and you do things you know are bad. I'm giving you a chance to repent now, but you don't want to. I do not now remember your past transgressions; I will forgive you again and again, abandoning your negative side to look only at your positive side, because all My words and actions at present are to save you and I have no bad intentions towards you. Aren't such people just waiting for punishment and righteous retribution to come?)
Almighty God said
Now, I WORK among the people CHOSEN by GOD in CHINA, to reveal all their rebellious dispositions and expose all their ugliness, and this is the context of saying all I have to say. ☀️
AFTERWARDS, when I FULFILL the NEXT step of the WORK of OPPRESSION in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, I WILL USE MY JUDGMENT on you to JUDGE the unrighteousness of everyone in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, because you people are the ones who REPRESENT the REBELS to mankind. Those who DO NOT IMPROVE will be COMPARISONS and SERVANTS only, WHILE those who IMPROVE will be USED. 🙏
Why do I say that those who do not improve will only serve as comparisons? ❇️
Because My words and actions in the past are FOCUSED on your ORIGIN, and because you have become the representatives and the example of the rebels to all mankind. Later, I will take these words that conquered you to foreign countries and I will use them to conquer the people there, but you will not get them.
Won't you be compared to so?
The CORRUPT DISPOSITIONS of ALL MANKIND, the REBELLIOUS ACTIONS of MAN, and the UGLY IMAGES and FACES of
PEOPLE---all these are RECORDED now in those
WORDS USED to CONQUER you. THEN I WILL USE THESE WORDS TO CONQUER those of every NATION and every DENOMINATION because you are the MODEL, the FIRST. 🙏
However, I did not intend to deliberately abandon you,'
if you have erred in your judgment therefore and
you prove you can't-- be cured, won't you just be a service tool and a comparison? ☀️
I have said that sometimes My WISDOM is USED based on SATAN'S SCHEMES. Why did I say that? Isn't that the truth behind what I'm saying and doing now? If you are NOT IMPROVED, if you are NOT MADE PERFECT but INSTEAD PUNISHED, will you not be a COMPARISON?
You may have suffered greatly in your time, but you still do not understand anything; you are ignorant of everything about life. ☀️
Even though you have been chastened and convicted, you have not changed in any way, and deep down, you have not gained life. When the time comes to test your work, you will experience a trial as fierce as fire and more severe tribulation.
This fire will turn your entire being into ashes.
As one who does not possess life, one who does not have an ounce of pure gold within, one who still clings to the old corrupt disposition, and one who cannot even do a good job as a comparison,
how can you not be removed? ☀️
Of what use in the work of conquest is one who is worth less than an idler, one who does not possess life?
When that TIME COMES, your DAYS will be HARDER than those of NOAH and SODOM! Your prayers will do you no good at that time.
When the rescue work is over, how can you come back later and start all over again
repent? 😥
ONCE ALL RESCUE WORKS HAVE BEEN DONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE; will take place is the BEGINNING of the WORK of PUNISHMENT on those who are WICKED. You RESIST, you REBEL, and you DO THINGS YOU KNOW ARE BAD.
Aren't you the SEVERE PUNISHMENT? 😪
I am making it clear to you NOW. If you choose not to listen, when the disaster befalls you later, won't it be too late if only then you begin to feel remorse and begin to believe? 😢
I'M GIVING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO REPENT NOW, but you WON'T. HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO WAIT? UNTIL THE DAY OF PUNISHMENT? 😢
I DO NOT REMEMBER now your PAST VIOLATIONS; I FORGIVE YOU OVER AND OVER, FORGIVE your NEGATIVE side to LOOK only at your POSITIVE side, because ALL My WORDS and ACTIONS in the PRESENT are to SAVE you and I have NO EVIL INTENT inyou BUT you refuse to ENTER; You CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE between GOOD and BAD and you don't know HOW TO APPRECIATE BEAUTY.

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. :-)

As someone who is currently studying robotics and control, I can really appreciate the amount of complexity and beauty that are involved. I mean getting a robot to even balance itself in the first place is a really complex thing and it took me a whole year of research and study.

Here's to Atlas...now that he can dance.
Thanks, OG. You blazed the way.
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.
What you accomplished is just incredible. Congratulations on all your accomplishments. You all really deserve to take a bow.
Thank you, atlas, you lead my way to robotics 7 years ago.
the way he reacts when he falls! almost like he is human🥺
ATLAS I'LL NEVER FORGET ABOUT YOU. The way you'd fall and always get back up... YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. No one else could backflip as sick as you could, or deal with so many shoves and punches from humans. Rest easy king.
This is a great compilation of what truly engineering a cutting edge project entails. Showing its failures is something most companies won’t ever show the public. Taking those failures and using them as an empirical learning experience is integral to innovation
The fails are entertaining and shows the win of working human like reactions. These really ain't failures.
It's evident the amount of love, passion and obviously the sheer amount of talented man hours that would have gone into making something as incredible and groundbreaking as Atlas has been. I don't think we'll ever see another hydraulic bot with the same capabilities.

Atlas HD hydraulic version is amazing! The speed / instant acceleration of the legs when trying to correct it self, when it is off balance at at 1:19 is astounding! Looking forward to meet Atlas Electric version!
Electric atlas dropped today and it is spooky
I asked for a new video of Atlas, but I didn’t know it was going to be the last one 😢😢😢😢
The fact that it's specifically a farewell to the HD (Humanoid version D) and the video ends with "until we meet again" - I think we'll see a new improved atlas in the future.
@@siraaron4462We hope so! 🙏
@@siraaron4462 HD seems to stand for "Hydraulic"

And 1:03
Wow, end of an era. Loved following the development over the years. With that being said I'm absolutely terrified for what you got lined up next in its place.
ATLAS, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
1:03 That burst of fluid from the knee made me shriek!
like a blood fountain
it looks like a tendon snapping or something
I wish that never happens to me
he cut an artery and he's bleeding out
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...
I never thought I would be sad for a robot, yet here I am almost crying.
Bummer. It’s probably not the biggest revenue generator for BD, but Atlas has done an amazing job at inspiring people, showing what’s possible, and surely recruiting engineers to go work at Boston Dynamics
Maybe it's just a goodbye to hydraulic (HD) Atlas.
@@ojvribeiro ah, good point - that would make sense since they showed several hydraulic line breaks in this vid. Switching to all electric motors then?
@@BayAreaMotorcycleCommuting I hope they keep the fluid movements.
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.
I’m not crying. I just have something in both of my eyes.
That must be contagious. I've got the same thing.
@@tjdavid21444 I too. But probably just pollen allergy.
Waiting for FHD Atlas.❤️
As a kid, back in the 90s, I remember seeing videos from Honda and their P series robots, particularly the soccer ball video. I recall thinking "wow, how does it get better than this?"
Now, almost 30 years later, @0:23 I'm now seeing a robot grabbing itself after racking it's nuts and bolts on the plank. I do hope BD takes this technology and the lessons gathered somewhere, Atlas gave us a fun run.
What do you mean? What's next? 😮😮😮
next is... he's at your door
@@TehhCake He wont able to read that, they already got him...
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.
