The fully autonomous video of Atlas robot is the scariest video of this Halloween

I have been trying to reassure people for decades that the coming robot revolution will not lead to job losses for us humans. It’s an idea I firmly believed in – or at least I did until this morning.

Earlier this week, Boston Dynamics released a new demonstration video of its new Atlas humanoid robot (see below). Unveiled earlier this year, this Atlas is a major redesign and radical upgrade of the already impressive and Parkour-performing original Atlas. This new robot looks a lot more like us, even though it can move in ways that none of us can.
