After Boston Dynamics completely retired their star product, Atlas, it quickly launched its iteration Atlas 2.0, and as has been the case for a decade, Boston Dynamics, the most famous video production company in the robotics industry, uploaded the first video of the robot and added a handful of Musk on X
They said sarcastically:
We guarantee that this is not a man in tights
Tesla unveiled their robot "Optimus Prime" Optimus, but at the first launch event it replaced the physical demo with a real person.

The Atlas 2.0, like all of its predecessors, showcases its extraordinary balance and dynamic movement abilities in the video, a goal that the Boston company has been pursuing, creating robots that can easily navigate unstructured, unknown, or hostile terrain.

After ditching the bulky hydraulics, the electric version of the Atlas is stronger, more agile and more agile. It appears from the video that the Atlas may resemble a human, but is not limited by the range of human motion, and can move in a way that is beyond human capabilities. The way the robot gets up in the video is naturally reminiscent of the way Samara "Spider" walks up the well in a weird and terrifying way in "Midnight Bell".

Well, it's not what I'm thinking of, Musk's "counterattack"
Boston Dynamics said
The humanoid form factor is a useful design for robots working in a world designed for humans. However, this form factor doesn't limit our vision of how a bipedal robot moves, what tools it needs to succeed, and how it can help people get more done Combining decades of hands-on experience with first-principles thinking, we are confident that we can deliver a unique robot that can handle boring, dirty, and dangerous tasks in real-world applications.
Yes, they also showed a wheeled robot

In order to compete with emerging AI innovators, Boston Dynamics has announced that it will be equipped with AI
We don't just offer industry-leading hardware. Some of our most exciting developments over the past few years have been on the software side. In addition to our decades of expertise in simulation and model predictive control, we equip robots with new artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, such as reinforcement learning and computer vision, to ensure that they can operate effectively and adapt to complex real-world situations.
But judging from the CG video, it seems that there are still many traces of hard-coding, which is understandable, after all, the huge technical heritage cannot be discarded in a day.
Boston Dynamics is the last hope
Commercialization requires great engineering, but it also requires patience, imagination, and collaboration. Boston Dynamics has proven that we can deliver industry-leading robotics and a complete ecosystem of software, services, and support to make robotics work in the real world.
We also expect Boston Dynamics to be more than just a great video presentation company
