Showing robots bringing humans drinks and other things is one way companies get attention for their new models. Boston Dynamics’ Atlas can do a whole lot more than that. It can lift the whole fridge and move it around without losing its balance. As you can see in this video, Atlas rotates its torso, squats, and lifts the fridge while keeping its balance. It coordinates its whole body to handle these heavier objects.
