The original Atlas robot can be seen on Boston Dynamic's website performing a range of tasks, including lifting objects and even busting out dance moves.
The company said that its new electric model breaks new ground.
"The electric version of Atlas will be stronger, with a broader range of motion than any of our previous generations," the company said in a statement. "Our last generation hydraulic Atlas (HD Atlas) could already lift and maneuver a wide variety of heavy, irregular objects; we are continuing to build on those existing capabilities and are exploring several new gripper variations to meet a diverse set of expected manipulation needs in customer environments."
