ICYMI: Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot Atlas is seen leaping over obstacles, doing back-flips and even falling flat on its face during practice runs

A new video released on Tuesday shows Atlas leaping over obstacles, doing back-flips and even falling flat on its face during practice runs.

“Parkour is a useful organizing activity for our team because it highlights several challenges that we believe to be important,” said Atlas team leader Scott Kuindersma.

“It can be frustrating sometimes. The robots crash a lot,” said Benjamin Stephens, control lead on the Atlas team.
