Boston Dynamics recently released two impactful commercials that serve as bookends to an era: one commemorating the “HD Atlas,” a marvel in hydraulic robotics, and another introducing its successor, the “All New Atlas,” a fully electric model designed for real-world applications. These adverts are narratives of technological evolution and vision.
Farewell to HD Atlas: A Tribute to a Robotic Pioneer
The “Farewell to HD Atlas” video is a poignant goodbye to a robot that has fascinated both the tech world and the general public. It masterfully combines emotional appeal with a showcase of technological prowess. The hydraulic Atlas, known for its agility and ability to perform complex maneuvers like parkour and backflips, is celebrated for its mechanical capabilities and inspiring future generations of roboticists.
Introducing the All-New Electric Atlas: Pioneering the Future
Simultaneously, Boston Dynamics introduces its latest innovation with “All New Atlas.” This commercial shifts the focus from the past to the future, presenting a robot that continues the legacy of its predecessors and is designed with practicality and adaptability in mind.
