Boston Dynamics stated that the hydraulic system of the previous Atlas model was no longer sufficient, which led to its retirement. During the development of the older version, the company gained significant experience and has now transitioned to a fully electric infrastructure with the new Atlas.

The newly released video highlights the robot’s enhanced movement capabilities. The company also revealed that real human motion data was used to create animations and that a reinforcement learning (RL) process—a form of AI-based learning—was employed to improve Atlas’ adaptability.
