It may have fared badly in the recent robo-olympics, causing hilarity with a series on unexpected falls, but Google has revealed its humanoid robot has been set free in the woods to learn how to run through terrain. The Atlas robot created by Google-owned firm Boston Dynamics is a formidable figure at 6ft 2in tall and weighing in at 330lb. In the video, it is shown struggling to stay upright - but managing to traverse a forest path without falling.

6ft 2in tall and weighing in at 330lb?
If they can figure out that staying upright thingy, they have a potential linebacker for the NFL here.

Does look really viable at that size & weight. Last major step is adding a serious power supply that matches.

Of course the 460 volt power supply cable, servo axis cards, and related hardware are a bit self limiting and are in a Genrac Trailer at the other end ot the cord. The control voltages may only be 24 volt DC, but there is no servo motor which can move that kind of force and response that isn’t high voltage.
