Boston Dynamics put the Atlas robot on wheels: now it can drift, accelerate sharply and perform 360-degree jumps. Engineers replaced his legs with wheels and taught him tricks using AI and simulations. The experiment is necessary to test engines at maximum loads, and there are no plans yet for mass production of such a version.
