I’m not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.

Holy shit those movements are disturbing.
I guess they want to emphasize how much more the electric joints can move. Basically they flex with flexibility.
so wait i can now do cowgirl and reverse cowgirl at the same time? and the face is already a glam dune bucket?
Some robots have reach, others have flexibility.
Probably because we all know what their primary use will be… These will be soldiers.
BD’s ability to make highly capable robots is high. Their ability to make creepy robots is unmatched.
They just had to make it look like a Geth.
Shepard Commander o7
Godamned flashlights!
I mean, wouldn’t you?
The real question is whether BD engeniers instructed the robot to get up that specific way or instructed the robot to get up using the most effective way
Damn that’s both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I’m praying to Gods I don’t even believe inWatching this right after an episode of Fallout hits different.
I for one welcome our talented and benevolent machine overlords. I suggest they use emoji faces on the head instead of diving into the uncanny valley with some silicone nightmare fuel.
I prefer just a centered green/red LED in the middle of the face.
Goddammit, this is so well done it almost looks fake.
The same with the old Atlas, first time I saw it.Yeah, that makes sense now. Shenanigans were clearly going on when they specifically said they were retiring Hydraulic Atlas in the last video.
This one is even creepier than the last. Well done!
I fucking love robotics. It looks sick but the way it gets up is like something from a nightmare.
The rotation from the back to the front with the torso and it’s head just had me thinking about some dead creature that had been hit by a car and just stood back up.
Also where is the back to the future gif “I’ve seen this one before it’s a classic”…just terminator on the screen.
Did anyone else find the sound of its footsteps just as disturbing as its movements? Think about what a platoon of them would sound like marching down the street.
Old Atlas looked way more cool
Jesus that’s creepy as hell the way it gets up and contorts all around, but also really cool somehow…
Seeing it change directions by independently rotating each leg was really something too.

guys for fucks sake come on we already made a documentary about this

This thing running you down with the dog-bot?
creepiness chef’s kiss
Bonus points if the new Atlas also runs on all fours when it needs to go faster.
