Boston Dynamics has unveiled a new version of its homooid robot Atlas, but now on wheels. The engineers want to test how the artificial intelligence, which controls the robot's entire body and is trained through reinforcement learning, interacts with real workers operating at the limits of their technical capabilities. As the engineers themselves point out, they need to look for non-standard approaches to expand the boundaries of the possible. @igal levin.
