Two years after the robots in your 2015 video were so wobbly walking around, they are now more agile than many people - and improving quickly.

Here is one jumping around and doing backflips in 2017: https://www.wired.com/story/atlas-robot-does-backflips-now/

Soon they will exceed the best human athletes.

Specialist robots already are better than any human in limited tasks, like simply sprinting. The general purpose robot, that can replace the general purpose human for manual tasks, is just a few years behind self-driving vehicles.

Three to five years after initial equivalence, the average new robot will be better than just about any human. The 2020’s will see the initial large fleets of humanoid robots being fielded, and many varieties of autonomous non-humanoid robots. During the 2030’s, they will change the world fundamentally.

Remember that I did say that robots were improving and that the video shown was the equivalent of embarrassing naked baby pictures in a family photo album.

Now, this morning on Fox Business, they showed a robot jumping, doing a jump turn and even a back-flip. Something currently being designed for the USofA Military.
