Human-like robot falls on its face during agility course
Boston Dynamics’ humanoid Atlas has been filmed completing a series of athletic movements during an agility course but a bloopers reel has revealed how many falls it took before success.
In the video, the 4.9ft robot showcaseS its freedom of movement and balance while completing a series of backflips, balancing acts and vaults.
During the not-so-perfectly-executed course, the robot is seen falling on its face, tripping over and failing to make jumps.
A disastrous backflip attempt even saw the robot flail to the ground.
The course was designed for Boston Dynamics engineers to experiment with new behaviours in Atlas.
