The Americans taught the robot elements of parkour

Google-owned Boston Dynamics, an American company, is known for its amazing ability to absorb any amount of cash. So this time, these funny guys have clearly demonstrated their skill.


They taught their humanoid robot named Atlas (based on the Android operating system) the elements of the now fashionable but dangerous “parkour,” something like street aerobics. Now he knows how to move using jumping elements. He became a real "dude". You can see for yourself.



As you can see, Boston Dynamics has something to demonstrate to the Pentagon generals and to begin training the robot in breakdance elements. He, too, is becoming fashionable, and good officials will pay. And this has been going on for more than five years, and will continue until they give money for this circus.

But Boston Dynamics has more than one robot, there are several, they are of different types, and they feed the company well. You Tube is simply overwhelmed with various videos on this subject. So the company does not make sense to bring the matter to its logical conclusion. After all, after each video, talking about the next achievement, you can safely ask for a cash supplement.

And so it can go on for years. So in the near future you will not meet such robots on the street. In any case, not from Boston Dynamics. And although the company claims that its Atlas is the most “advanced” robot on the planet, in fact, it is only better advertised, at the expense of the money that it receives from the US Department of Defense. This is marketing.
