Boston Dynamics' humanoid robot, Atlas, is now learning breakdancing.
Through collaboration with the Robotics & AI Institute, Atlas uses reinforcement learning, mimicking human movements via motion capture and animation. This AI-driven approach aims to enhance the robot's mobility, balance, and coordination, particularly in full-body manipulation. While still perfecting complex moves like 'helicopter' leg swings, Atlas demonstrates rapid progress in imitating human actions, paving the way for advanced robotics applications in various fields.
