Boston Dynamics’ advanced humanoid robot, Atlas, is set to begin trial operations in Hyundai Motor Group’s US manufacturing facilities later this year, marking a significant step in integrating cutting-edge robotics into automotive production, the company announced.

The all-electric Atlas, capable of performing complex tasks like sorting car parts and maneuvering heavy loads, will be deployed at Hyundai’s Metaplant in Georgia to test its capabilities in real-world factory settings. Atlas, unveiled in its electric form in April 2024, showcases elite athletic abilities, including running, crawling, and cartwheeling, enabled by custom-designed motors.

The robot’s deployment comes amid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), which Kuindersma noted could be a “game changer” for physical intelligence in robotics.

This is bound to happen eventually outside a lab in the real word ….

Did you read that on Deep Seek?

[T.B. Yoits]

Car factories have been fully automated for quite some time. The separate "robots" in those factories tend to each do their few tasks extremely well, offering more speed, strength, precision, temperature tolerance, chemical resistance, etc. than humans.

A multi-function robot will be less capable at any one thing. (Slower, less precise, weaker, etc.)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

By “that ship has sailed” I thought I was saying that Skynet is already here.

I looked it up and the meaning is that it is too late for it to happen, which is not what I meant.

Learn something every day.

Can they replace Congress? Don’t use the current Congress mindset to program them. They would be on vacation 4 days a week sitting around drinking their WD-40 martinis.
